Sebastian always has a good Halloween boogie/party, as does Zhills. It marks the beginning of the season for Florida. I think your only problem will be in deciding which one to attend.

Yep, two passes with 60 getting off on each one. TLML and I made sure to be the last to load on the first group loading; that lets us be first out on the second pass. That in itself rocked, but what was really cool was standing on the tailgate on the circle around for the second pass -- what an unbelievable view!

Yes ma'am, you are a skydiver. Keep on learning and we'll see you in Rantoul. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Good on ya for getting into the air, but now you have to learn how to post "The Weekend Numbers". Reading your post shows that you made no jumps on Friday, 3 on Saturday and one on Sunday; however, using the standard notation for "The Weekend Numbers" one would read that you did not get laid, you made 3 jumps, and you owe one case of beer. To make it clear, the format is Humps:Jumps:Cases of beer owed. Creative license has led the first number to stand for anything you find interesting, but without explanation will be taken as the number of times you got lucky over the weekend; while this is interesting for/about the young singles, for us old pharts (and others who don't feel comfortable about such matters) it is more interesting to post some other significant number.

Congrats to the bunch of you. Looks like we have our work cut out for us at Rantoul, but Kris and I will set a fast base so let's go fer it!

I be wotally tasted. These vikes the dentist gave me are 750mg and they well very work. Seems like a shame to be wasting them while I need them . Don't think I want to mix these with fine fermented beverage. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

For all purposes, my jumping weekend is over so I will go first: 0:0:0 I've been having vague pains in my jaw since the Panama City Beach swoop event, and it finally localized yesterday. This morning I couldn't even eat an orange at breakfast without severe pain, so off to the dentist I go. Turns out I cracked the tooth in front of my right lower molar. It took a while to cut and remove it and the anesthesia is now starting to wear off. I'll be hitting the vikes later, so no air for me. Ya'll be safe out there.

I agree wit you, but my eyes have always been very sensitive to light, and the one caveat my surgeon had for me after LASIK was that my eyes would now be ultra-sensitive to light. Therefore, to save my sight and eliminate headaches, I always wear smoked goggles and wear sunglasses at all time outdoors. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

This is just too freaky -- I was catching up on the forums, saw your post on Suggestions and thought "I hope she is finally feeling well...". Then I come to Talk Back and what do I find?

Congratulations on a successful "tryout" Jessica. You may not have gotten the position that was open, but you most certainly made one hell of an impression. The Powers That Be have become aware that you are underutilized in your current job and are looking to use your talents more wisely. they aren't just being nice to you, Jessica; they realize that even your three-day stint as features editor will look good on your resume. Those tryouts don't come along everyday and aren't offered lightly; TPTB have given you leverage and they know it. Use that knowledge to your advantage, at your current paper or elsewhere. You've the skills, you're building your experience base. I think it will be fun to follow your career. We can all say "I knew Jessica when...". Knock 'em dead, Jess.

Actually i'm thinking that i wish i could remember who all i talked to. Pop just told me i talked to him and i have no recollection of that. So to anyone that called me, lemme know. do you remember talking to TLML and me on Friday? You were pretty well out of it and we woke you from a nap on top of it!

My son is stationed at Bragg with Joint Spec Ops. The question we had was whether he'd be home or elsewhere. He and his family live in Raeford, about 10 mins from the DZ. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Yep, but you have to remember that I used to be with CA, possibly the most evil software people on this planet... And you should have seen the havoc "I Love You" created there. Lots of people who should have known better got chewed out for that one -- I even got away with writing a scathing email to a Senior VP in Network Admin .

Bzzzzt! Wrong answer, thank you for playing. Please try again. You received a worm/virus in an attachment to an email that purported to come from MS. As low as they are, even the MS weenies do not send unsolicited email and they most certainly do not send executables via email. Yes, be careful; but don't blame anyone but yourself if you open attachments you were not explicitly expecting. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Happy Birthday to us. Happy Birthday to us. Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to us. Just got off the phone, first my younger son called, and shortly after we hung up, my oldest granddaughter called and I got to speak to all in her family. BTW, my son will in Raeford over the 4th of July, so we will be putting in an appearance at the DZ that weekend. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Speaking of which.... I know that beer is part of the deal, but I'd assumed it would be along the lines of mass-produced American swill. You are talking about real beer from a local store, right? Yes, the beer included in your registration for WFFC is Love In A Canoe, but there are several other vendors on the grounds, including a convenience store. Getting real beer on site is no problem, though one can always make a trip to a local package store if needed. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Thanks to all who have contributed. Due to a certain techno-geek who came through with a LARGE contribution, the tent is covered and I have enough for a very good set of goodies to furnish it. I know there are still some checks coming (Phree and SkyMonkeyOne at least), so those will be used for the couches etc. I will now shut the @&$# up about contributions and we can get on with planning our great time at Rantoul. Thanks again, bill. BTW, ya'll made my 55th birthday a lot easier to take.

Yes, and that posting was at least the second of this particular funny. The level of postwhoring sure has been shoddy lately. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Got it. Thanks for your support. Hang on to the rest and just buy me a Guinness at WFFC if'n you make it. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Michele, I'll repeat what others have said, unless you have proven to be a hazard to yourself or others, people will jump with you. With your jump numbers and infrequency of jumpos, it seems from what has been reported that you are doing just fine. I know I am not alone in saying that Lynn and I will jump with you and give you feedback. You may be disappointed in the feedback, though, because we will focus on what you did right in the post-jump discussion, and only after we have done that will we mention what went wrong (along with suggestions of how to prevent it). You are your own harshest critic here -- I know you have received criticism in the past from mean-spirited people. You have also received praise here from others who have jumped with you. It seems you need to take the praise to heart a bit harder and give the lumps a bit less weight. It is obviuos from your taking canopy control classes and asking for help that you take your safety seriously. That attitude alone will go a long way in other people cutting you slack if you don;t perform "perfectly" on a jump. Be safe, be confident and aware. I don't think we can ask much more from you.
