1/2 Catholic (Mom)- 1/2 Methodist (Dad) I like them both. Ive been reading on (Catholic) saints, again. To understand why they were put in charge of stuff you would have to read their story. Like St Vivian- A church was built over her grave, in the garden grew an herb that cured headache and epilepsy. ... She is in charge of protection from headache and hangovers. Of particular intrest to me are: Protection of Animals –5 saints including St. Francis (Mom has statue in yard) Protection of Dogs & metal workers - St. Hubert of Liege. Protection of Artists- St. Catherine of Bologna. Helps with the Impossible, lost causes or situations- St. Jude Thaddeus, St. Gregory Thaumaturgus, St. Philomena, St. Rita of Cascia Protection Against Poverty, 18 saints !! For Lash- Protection for Soldiers: 12 saints including- St. Joan of Arch, St. Michael the Archangel. Protection of the United States Army Special Forces- St. Philip Neri Protection for Medics- 5 saints including St. Raphael the Archangel All of us who skydive- Protection of Paratroopers, (skydivers) & flyers- St. Joseph of Cupertino- (the flying Friar) & St. Michael the Archangel Protection from bad weather- The Fourteen Holy Helpers (formed during the Black Plague)- includes St. Christopher, St. Erasmus- (St. Elmo’s fire), St. Vitus (St. Vitus Dance) This dude is fun- St. Joseph of Cupertino- (the flying Friar) story goes that he kept flyin around and wouldnt stop. People would beat the crap outta him and still he would levitate, float and go into trances. Yelling, beating, pinching, burning, piercing with needles, nothing. He would got into trances & fly around during church so for 35 years he had to stay in his room during services because of the spectacle. It also got him fired all the time from being a lay-brother. They said it was his education. The Flying Friar ~AirAnn~

Well, call me the Lone Ranger right now. But... I'm glad I'm not getting another big bag of flower petals. I'm glad I'm not making yet another bunch of memorial pull up cords. I am even glad I have to move stuff for Brit to use the sewing machine again. ~AirAnn~

Looks similar to the one in this 1969 movie poster with Burt Lancaster, Debra Kerr and a new guy called GENE HACKMAN. (from my personal collection, Vintage) ~AirAnn~

I have a Matthew Lesko looking question mark in my head that wont go away associated with this statememt. Check out this band name --> Freudian Slip and the One-Banded Armadillos Featuring Special Guests Leon Zundinger and the Carpathians Plus the Love Funk Monkey Rhineslap. Hereinafter referred to as Freudian Slip. ~AirAnn~

Dude- Bonus application Huh, ...most of my 1936 posts are an example of incoherent & fragmented thought processes. My posts historically have the sum value and quality of producing zero valuable effects. I blame Demonomania. ~AirAnn~

Uh huh... I see how it ‘tis. Skydiver Trash, all of you. I aint gonna sugar coat this. kmcguffee- CONSPIRACY that is what this is. All the voices agree that this event may qualify as Suckage, severe. … SOBs pure and simple. For future reference, names of SOBs participating in the Houston gang activity are noted. Full documentation and assigning SOB numbers to permanently identify participants is necessary. SOB-1 is hereby assigned to the Director of Disobedience, CLAY. Ranking of numbers does not indicate or reduce the severity of this felonious extracurricular activity. The splinter cell of skydivers will have the full penalty imposed for this wrongdoing and subversive act. Punishment not to be limited to contract killing, sharp blows to the occipital region, or assessment of monetary damages. Community Service of undetermined duration is also indicated for the atonement of mental anguish experienced by the oppressed. Community Service may be defined as; the purchase of massive amounts of beer or alcoholic beverages for the omitted and not adequately forewarned skydiving persons. No guarantees are made to spare monies or credit rating during this process as amounts may vary. Valid where prohibited. ~AirAnn~

KRAP fUKIN BASTARDS. YES, I know for a fact. Sweetheart, hang in there with Herc. Sherri knows all too good Herc's medical history. So, its going to work out. He is a tuff SOB, just like my Godfather over there, Scotty. I have been using garlic for fleas and tape worms. Seems to be working.... Cant tell yet. They say that flea/tape worms dont appreciate the environment anymore and will pack their bags. It also keeps off the neighbor who is a vampire. You never see that guy in the daytime. Love to all and my serious prayers for the little guy. {{{{{{{ V I B E S }}}}}}}}}}}}} FROM ALL SIX OF MY KIDS. Tell Scotty that 'Little" now weighs about 160 or so. I think Skeet misses his cooking too, erg. I know for a fact he misses Scotty. See my post earlier of "My kid is four years old" there you see recent pic of Skeet on his birthday- Valentines Day. & where on the planet are YOU?? All the love, Ann ps. Olav Zipster my Shih Tzu, has a patch of dry skin on his back - I put some heavy hand lotion on there and 3 fleas suffocated. Bastards. They also say that any shampoo will suffocate a flea. I use, in the flea season, spritz of Front Line spray after a standard bath. Skeet walks in the big shower with me no trouble. He likes it but we barely fit and its a big ass walk in shower. Cedar chips around the yard will run a flea off as well. I got long lists of helpful hints. I will post them soon on BarkHard.com. ~AirAnn~

Still such my baby..... Valentines Day is his birthday and I took some pictures. I am a Mom.. what can I say... I need way more memory for all of the kids pictures. In the Size matters picture- its blurry, but you can see how little he still is. One of the worst pictures of me ever taken. (I just woke up) I aint vain. Screw it. ~AirAnn~

Within Temptation Running up That Hill LOUD The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? LOUDER Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff Its all about the he said / she said bullshit BLOW UP THE FUKIN SPEAKERS http://www.within-temptation.com/ ~AirAnn~

Bakin dog biscuits!! Its Skeets 4th birthday!!! I dont believe in the mushy human krap. Unreliable. Sales on chocolate in the aftermath rulz, however. ~AirAnn~

Okeedoke- Levin has surfaced... REAL busy tho.. He has stuff going on... But the email WORKS. I just sent a picture of his CAT, TrailMix, behind bars - or so it seems. Trail Jail. ~AirAnn~

Huh, neither... This is one thing I am real good at. Lev says perfect form. Heh... I fold up as I turn w/knees in kinda, I stick my shoulder into my turn. Then flat out with arms tight to body & palms touchin leg tight and toes pointed. Shoulders are rounded kinda. I keep my head inline with my body and gaze upwards to where I am going. Aerodynamic Rocket shaped. Zooom *note this is from a sit or stand to a track. ~AirAnn~

What year... I dont want to talk about it. I am blacking it out. Doug who the hell is Doug.... Krap- I meant BLAKE. Thinkin he is all over with the belly floppin on the Flyingarab.com site. Is he the cute one? Will the cute one please sign in already. If, said cute one is at least 6ft tall, I will talk to him....

Nick you are killing me. That first camera jump I did & filmed you and some blue sky is all over the internet. Has been evidently for some time. Sombody put a begining on there ANN's FIRST VIDEO JUMP. They didnt put STARing Smilin Nick. I left out the part about me breaking my leg on that jump. As you recall the whole thing was on tape.. Including everyones plea not to drive myself to hospital.... Jerry told me not to tape over it. But I did. After the deal my adrenalin was goin wild. All I know is I was bound and determined to drive myself. It worked out. I used my other leg. Well, anyway... Video is on Skydive Movies, AirAnnOne, I think. But its all you & a little head down in which I turned 180 degrees the wrong way. Top mounts are weird. But dont bother with that one... video AnnZak is hysterical. First jump without a FF suit on. Pretty crummy, I was all over trying to figure out how to fly with chicken legs. I did a shoulder dock on ole Zak. Oops. Then I did a sit cartwheel to straighten back out. Trent saw and BAILED or sunk out on purpose. But the ending is the thing! I need to get my website up and show the vid where Hooknswoop swoops perfectly right into SLands hangar. Levin wont let me use the one where he swoops into a herd of cows at San Marcus and is yelling Mooo Moooooooo. That is another gem. Wrong Way- WEll, Yeah... That is the thing. The shyt wont write. I am about to get a freaking stamp out and snail main the sob. That is why I wanted to give his CAT email out - so everyone could write direct and see WTF Levin! ~He is missed that is for sure. Brit drug him out to Gladewater last weekend. Little Levin was too cold to jump into the fridged air..... whine. Yet this is totally not unsual. He never has liked the cold. At least she got him to a DZ. AND brought my rig back. AND when I get it back she is giving me a free repack cuz I helped her sew something. 2 Snaps up for Brit. Cool... I am working on airann & also, I am working more on BarkHard.com, my other. I think I may split that site. My skateboard friends will really want me to put up my circa 1986 pictures of the Band playing that I took. Turns out anything BarkHard is of value now. A big Boyz deck is worth about $1000. Johnny Gibson is now with SugarShack - in Houston, back from the east coast - playing at Rudz on the 27th. For you who dont know Rudz (Rudyards British Pub) is a well, lotz a nights I cant remember being there date back to 1980's. http://rudyards.com/ Sugar Shack will be there with Clouseaux that night. *John Gibson formerly of Bark Hard. Pro skater back in mid 80's. Had his own deck now worth someplace around 300-$1000 in ex condition. (Zorlac) Ken Fillion, member Bark Hard, still Pro, has his own deck currently. KEN was an Orbit Punk, it turns out. LOL tiny planet. I surfed on the same team as Danny Davis's brother Terry. Good Lord..... Skydivers check out Lola's for a special Skydiver extra shot drink from Danny. Anyway, I need to write a book or if I could cut out all the krap; a brochure of underground Houston history. Urban Animals anyone? I am old - but I am cooler than anyone in their 20s. Believe THAT. or not... ~AirAnn~

Is Doug doing all this belly flyin that I see? ... Man, that is just wrong.. Yup rig is back in town somethin like 4 months or so it was on tour. I lent it out to one of the Gladewater Gang members. A real good buddy. Dont think anyone has ever jumped my rig but me, now that I think about it. Anyway, I jump both places SLand or SDH. I live exactly 1/2 between the two DZs. I have been earth bound seriously too long. Id have to check my Protrack and see when my last jump was... a good while.. I dont think a year though. Think that one was out of town, but might have been SLand. My right hand has been numb for a couple of months. But I have been slinging it around, banging it on stuff and working with it and I think its pull-worthy. heh- I was about to get a new drivers license like a week ago. They dreamed up a speeding ticket of mine from 2001. I asked the location, I never get a speeding ticket! It was me going to the DZ out 288 to SLand, damn. That would be the only time I would be haulin ass. I always cruz on the illegal side going to the DZ. Driving back I am MELLLLOO. Watch out driving the back way into SDH, those curves are a bitch when you are going too fast. ~AirAnn~

Yeah - MonkeyMan Not to be confused with Monkey Pants - That is Moffet Is he the cute one? Shawn, Don, & Doug..... My rig is back in town, he he. ~AirAnn~

Modified Train Gorilla. Sky Monkey of my Back. Devil Wings. ~AirAnn~

No worries. I know exactly where he is. The little shyt just dont write. The way I figure it - he has to write. I took a picture of his CAT with a Ransom Note attached to it. That otta do it. ~AirAnn~

Havent talked to him in 6 days. He was doing real good, not online very much tho. He set up this one for me to send pictures of his CAT to -> levin11levin@hotmail.com A few people have that email now and so do you! Supposed to be no spam in this email so there should be plenty of room for everyone to write. Tee hee.... ~AirAnn~

Well, there is one on skydiving movies . com...... Its called AnnZak.... under either freefly or freeflyers.com. Trent was first out on train .. I didnt wear my FF suit, I opted to be involved with the dirt dive instead. I was a last minute add on cause somebody bailed. I sure did not fly well without my suit in gusting 20 mph (aprox) winds. This one is rated hilarious, by other people. So its Trent, Ann, Zak and Levin - not sure if Zak was in front of me or behind.... I think Levin ws behind me... You will have to see the vid to find out. I cant remember - it has been a long time ago. So, that caused serious weirdness. But it had nothing to do with the canopy collapse behind the hangar. At the end you can hear Doc Sherry askind me if I am ok, and that my face is all scratched up. I cant hear her and said "I cant hear out of this ear" Oh yeah, chipped my top mount d-box.... Poot.... Oh and a little concussion, no biggie. I was trying to avoid the rope beside the concrete walkway. Hell, I was hoping to avoid ALL concrete. I gave up on the 90 degree angle turn and opted for where I landed. You can see my canopy in the upper right of the frame. I was diggin. It was too late, I landed where I landed. Later, I will put this one and some more on AirAnn.com and BarkHard.com, maybe. All of them are comedies of errors. In addition some of my first video edits. (strictly experimental) This is long before Trent became a PooHead. And SOME BODY. ~AirAnn~

GREGA = Gorgeous, Seriously man..... ummm Kay... ~AirAnn~

Zennie had a bad ass one when he worked for ENRON. ~AirAnn~

Poo Head... I kinda like the way that sounds. Or Mr Poo Head or SilverPoo Head..... The petition is awesome idea but how about jack it up a notch.... Missy deserves to go. If you go to the below website.... you will see nice little pictures of all the top dogs....... Hummmmm... http://www.uspa.org/contact/bod.htm#executive USPA Board of Directors Executive Committee National Directors & Regional Directors if you click on the cliky at the bottom of their pretty picture- .. Hummm, their EMail. If they did not want us members to contact them then why is their email right there in front of God and everyone. ? SilverPoo you rule... Missy Miss you GO GIRL, and bring us back that precious ore - GOLD. Dont be A PooHead and bring home silver. LOL, I am just beating up PooHead for kicks, nobody can beat Rook. I at this point, I must go back to the witness protection program... I have said way too much. ~AirAnn~

I checked my email earlier... at that time it was the usual I dunno Very Many spam emails. (Kitten got named Spam.) So this has been a real problem for a long time. Dan put Spam Assassin on our web server and it catches about everything. Right now after emptying it earlier it has 538 things to review due to suspicious content. Three of those 538 were actually to me from a real person. Most of the time, my real person emails are directed into the -"IMPORTANT - friends" file. I have 24 assorted files, skydivers, read later, dog stuff, family, newsletters, .... and it works fine. But the file for Check it Out and Review is the one where I sent all the Spam Assassin stuff... and its always loaded. I refuse to change my email address - I have had it so long.... I could change it to Ann@BarkHard.com... I havent finished/started on that website yet, but it wouldnt be the same as me @ airann. ~AirAnn~
