  6. I agree!! Making sacrifices, doing the job, and doing it right...I think everyone owes our soldiers a dept of gratitude... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
  7. I was informed after HS that not only was I popular, but that I was the coolest person they knew. That, I believe, startled me. I was an overachiever, but I played flute in band and was in swimming. I had the best of both worlds I suppose. I was a social butterfly and involved in everything. My close friends were average joes and they were the people I felt most comfortable with, but I had a billion aquaintances that ranged on the spectrum from dirty hippie, to prom queen. To tell you the truth, now, I never considered myself popular or an outcast, because cliques are stupid, that I hung out or talked to someone cause I wanted to. (What I really considered myself was a bookworm/nerd/geek with hobbies...now I'm a skydiver/student...with hobbies...) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
  8. LoL......That cracks me up everytime I see it...Also puts me in the mood for some California rolls...yummmmm...!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
  9. In terms of canopies, I will leave that to the pros, but I had to rent gear for all of my jumps so far and though it is expensive, it is better than buying something that you may not feel comfortable with. I also learned how to pack on a 235 (though I was jumping a 190), so learning how to pack only requires a rig...And I know how you feel about packing for others. I have had some sweet openings from my packjobs, but then again, I have had some that caused me to pull a 180 before it was completely deployed. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

  13. See!!! That's what I'm talking about!!! There's an unwritten rule that no donut can be "claimed." Donuts are not objects that one person can own. They should be treasured and adored by all. Val, You sound like Homer Simpson...I particularly liked the episode where he fooled with the toaster and warped the world so that it was raining donuts...I can see you now...LoL...Running around catching donuts... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
  14. Sounds like my year...Day 1 of this year: Recovering from surgery that was required to fix my broken and dislocated tib/fib...Day 2: was a little better...stayed doped up on Vicodin and Valium. Day 3: Don't remember b/c I was still doped up on V+V. There are some good things that happened though...attented my first WFFC (only as a volunteer) then started jumping again and thoughthe year started pretty shitty, it is ending pretty well...I will be recieving my first set of gear in a matter of days...!!! P.S.Don't PLF on taxi ways, it hurts...words of wisdom ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
  15. LoL...I want that shirt...I know exactly who I would give it to...hee hee hee... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

  18. LoL, that is sooo true!!! Due to some of my landings, I was advised to avoid anything close to white!!! Maybe in the future...
  19. As a newbie, I appreciate it when people with a helluva lot more experience than me give me advice. I ask billions of questions and even when my instructors asked me why I wasn't downsizing, I said, "I want to get good at the large canopies first." When it comes to knowledge, dispense at will, I am one student that will listen! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
  20. It is pure sensationalism......The media believes that people want to see death and destruction, mayhem. You will see a lot of this, especially when it comes to skydiving, because media, particularly T.V. shows want to keep you on the edge of your seat and usually, they don't do their homework...which just sucks!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
  21. I feel your pain...last year I was going through AFF in Lake Wales and it was cold and rained for 3 days straight, plus it was windy......Stay warm!!!

  23. Quote I'm truly passionate about this sport and everything that comes with it. Personally, I thought that working in the industry might take away some of that appeal for me - as I have seen it happen to several people I know and heard of countless others. Quote That is what I have heard from several people, so for right now, I will definitely be keeping skydiving in the hobby category, but later...dunno...we'll see... I might want to pull up stakes too and find me a DZ to call my habitat... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
