  1. Never have, never will get one. I'll take my chances.
  2. I believe there is a supernatural realm or being(s) beyond our understanding or desire to understand. My sister and I had an experience when we were younger that confirmed that belief for me.
  3. You have 14 jumps. You really shouldn't have that attitude. You need to learn to fly and be relative first, then worry about the type of skydiving you want to do. Of course just like every other overly impressionable newbie you already *know* what you should be doing. Is your vertical suit made of ZP with spandex inserts? Why do you think you cant wear weight when freeflying? How do you intend to learn to recognize the sight picture of being high or low on a formation without practicing in a stable body position first? Relax. You have the rest of your skydiving career to become a freefly snob. Those of us that have been around a while have figured out a secret I'll let you in on. It's all the same. Bodyflight is bodyflight. Upsides down, right side up, belly, back, head, feet, it's all the same. I
  4. I do xperience days flights at my flight school. You pay xperience days, you take your flight, they pay the flight school. You're not flying with xperience days, you're flying with a flight school completely independent from them.
  5. I never understood why it was illegal in the first place. I think the government makes anything it can't tax, illegal; like drugs.
  6. Don't squish 'em together like that - it ain't natural! They aren't squished together on purpose, that's just how they are in my suit, but thanks for finding something to complain about!
  7. I can't believe this thread is still going
  8. Who has custody of the kids? You cannot, I repeat, CANNOT help someone who doesn't want help. It doesn't matter how hard to try or what you do or what you try and intervene with or force on them. The only person that can change them, is them, that's it. There's nothing else.
  9. Well, the goal is to complete the tattoo so both the top half and bottom half look like one piece on my arm. Right now they aren't done so they look separate. The top still needs more depth and highlights, the bottom still needs some of the warmth from the top to blend downward. THEN I get to tackle the inner arm, which hasn't even been brainstormed yet.
  10. I don't see anything wrong with eating dog. *shrug*
  11. How much R/C experience do you have?
  12. biomech and lotus flower sleeve, about 20 hours in so far, far from done started in November 2011
  13. Is that why my post got deleted? Pfft.
  14. Those two get me every time.
  15. How much do you have to invest? I have a huge project that needs investors. When I say huge, I mean huge; like, out of 99% of the populations scope of investing.
  16. No it's not...i'm so sick of hearing that. If YOU yourself haven't done it, you have no basis to make your statement from. I *have* done it, and I agree with the statement. I have done it...I really don't know what you sissy wives are bitching about. Maybe I'm just better primed mother material than you guys... You did it "briefly" and couldn't even make dinner.
  17. Way to go dad! You took on the responsibility of a stay at home parent and you didn't fulfill your obligations, and you're pissed because she pointed it out? If you're a stay at home parent that's what you do. The housework, the cooking, the shopping, etc. No wonder you don't think stay at home parenting is hard work, you didn't do it. nice...you're a feisty little bitch just like my old lady. Turns me on. Stick around and you'll get to know me.

  19. I was a stay at home mom for 2 years. I've never been a fan of people having babies and then throwing them in daycare so they can go back to work. I believe a child should have time spent at home with a parent for the first year or two of life. Care, nurturing, bonding, etc. I didn't have a baby so someone else could take care of it. I always said that if I ever had a kid I wanted to be able to stay home, and if I wasn't able to, I wasn't having a kid. It doesn't matter which parent, just that it's A parent. I think it's become too commonplace that people spit out babies and bam! daycare time. I dunno, something about it just bugs me.
  20. Meh, there are a fuckton of gullible people out there then. Doesn't take much of a brain to look at the video and tell it's fake. Or maybe I'm just special. But we ARE special, in that we know how something like that SHOULD look better than most people. Honestly, this is a forum of skydivers. We spend a large portion of our lives observing things that fly. A race car driver could more easily look at a CGI car video and point out the reasons it looks fake than your average hippie could. But it goes beyond just knowing what flying looks like. The constant blurry images, the cuts to different angles, the very obvious cgi on the side view "take off" angle.
