  1. Just how much do you remember from Sat night? FYI - As I saw the sun peeking over the horizon I said out loud "there is no longer any reason for me to be awake" as I left over 10 people at the bonfire...Jraf being one of them! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  2. Best man in a wedding on Sat, which ties me up for Friday night as well for rehersal. If I am up and alive on Sunday I might show up. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  3. got an attorney for the DZ? It seems every year that the complaints about this particular group of people go up every year. Has anyone retained a lawyer and gone after him? USPA isn't going to do anything...so, let's go to the outside and bring him down. Anyone care to put together a fund to help pay for the demise of this BS? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  4. WTF? I have been attending WFFC forever, and I have never gotten a keychain. All I get is a lousy hat and jacket I've never gotten a lousy hat. I do get some nice plastic cups. I purchased the keychain. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  5. That woman shouldn't be allowed to drive golf carts. Someone should get an ankle braclet for both her and Sunny - any time they get near the drivers seat - it shocks the hell out of them. Oh Cora - those guys aren't the only one that have pictures from drunken events last year . Be on the lookout again this year for me - I have my own camera this time FYI - I went to my first Quincy/WFFC when I had one jump and didn't know ANYONE! I saw my first dozen low hooks and a few femurs....I did my second tandem, I met new people every day and night and found someone new to party with each night. On top of that, I went to all of the seminars, purchased a few skydiving books and read them during the day. I still have my keychain from that very first WFFC. This year will be my 6th convention. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  6. cat·boat ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ktbt) n. A broad-beamed sailboat carrying a single sail on a mast stepped well forward and often fitted with a centerboard Sounds a lot like the game "Word Twist" that I play all the time. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  7. Mike is in Perris now. But if it helps, I will be there _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  8. Simple - just turn off Bluetooth, or just make it invisible. Most people don't even use bluetooth. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  9. I think that ride is closed for the next year or two...or they are about to close it - they are "updating it" for the future. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  10. Can you believe that with all the time I have spent in Florida I have never had a chance to go to the mouse house or Universal/IOA? I've been in the parking lots and at Downtown Disney...but never been in the parks (IOA looks cool from that bridge by the tunnel). Have enough fun for me!!!!! Let me know if those childhood dreams of those places are real or not worth the trip. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  11. Too Easy...I'm not gonna touch that one. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  12. Ok, then call trading spaces for my landlord. That is the kitchen/bathroom doorway. I am standing over the gate which leads to a few rooms of real hardwood floors. I don't care as much, that is the apartment downstairs - I have the one upstairs and it is better shape. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

    Beautiful

    Something like this is usually a part of Garde Marge - the elaborate buffet tables that have a theme, centerpiece/ice sculpture and food carvings to them. It is a skill that pays some decent cash if you work on cruise ships or fine dining environments. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  14. Nah, it was my roommate.....he is the one doing the good deed. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  15. Well, I don't feel like running my own server, so this is a better option, and once I get home, I download everything off the server, so my true limit is whats on my computer. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  16. Personal attack!!! Now ban yourself! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  17. No problems on my side. Heck, I just logged on Yahoo Mail and discovered they increased the mail folder size to 100 MB!!!!!!

  19. http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/04/Jun/skydive.html Figured if I posted this in bonfire it would get moved: The Associated Press is carrying a story (June 13) that appeared on my.yahoo.com as follows: Ex-President Bush Makes Birthday Skydive I really like that story. Not only is it inspiring to see an 80-year-old man successfully attempt a feat that many of us wouldn't dare try even in our youth, but it is especially inspiring to see a national headline start with the words "Ex-President Bush." _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  20. See how easily you girls can confuse me! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  22. My roommate downstairs brought home a cat last night. Turns out his ex-girlfriend moved to a new apartment and can't have the cat there, and he doesn't want it in the shelter (they are all full in the area) because he knows they will put her down quick. It only took 15 minutes of me sitting on the floor before she came up to me, sat in my lap and demanded to be pet. So, meet Chloe. Oh yea, she is two and showed us she didn't like to be left locked in the kitchen by herself the first night. She strolled into the frontroom while we were watching tv, looked up at us and took off back into the kitchen! Now she has been hiding under my roommates bed for hours on end and won't come out. Oh, and she is loud and loves the sound of her own voice (or so it seems) _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  23. Well, a lot has changed for me...and now I will be able to go. I'm still trying to figure out vaction time, money, etc..plus I will be going to Summerfest as well. I'll let you know my dates soon. Wonder when the best time to take my week of vacation will be? See ya'll there. Just don't let Sunny mix any drinks for you. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  24. Yup, Skydive Chicago has just about all of that except the being in the South part. Our own pond, beach and river launch for canoe trips. HUGE VIP SkyBar with raised deck that over looks the landing area, onsite Chef with dinners in the SkyBar or the TikiHut that overlooks the pond. Heated showerhouse. On site gear store, master rigger, DPRE and full rigging testing. 4 mock ups in case you want to dirt dive a multiplane shot. Workout room, multiple teamrooms with video station and larger team room with its own big screen. Office space for rent if you want to move your job there. Covered waiting area on the ramp with benches. Kick ass manifest setup run by some of the coolest women. Huge bonfire pit (attached), and plenty of quiet, intimate places for your own bonfire if you so like. Outs? Not a problem (see attached, dz is just off screen at the bottom, but you can see the outs to the west)) We dirt dived a 300 way in our hanger, and I watched seven 4 way teams creeper it out during nationals at the same time. We have a massage house and three onsite massage therapists. Xbox? Well, it's not in the hanger, but there are a few in the trailer park with close to 200 slots in it. Or you could bring one and attach it to the 3 big screen tvs we have. Or maybe you can convince them to put it on the climate controled auditorium projection screen (has to be at least 40 feet tall) and sit in the reclining theatre seats. We have off road trails for bikes, horses and yes even off road golf carts! If you like the place enough you can buy a slot of land and build a house on the dz! Or you can bring a trailer, rent a place in the bunkhouse, or rent out one of the apartments they have. Or you can just tent it, we have plenty of grass with soft dirt to easily stake up camp site. You forgot to add: private airport (no hassle with FBO) and personal fueling truck. I've been to 22 other DZs and nothing else matches. I've yet to see Perris...maybe next year I will get out there. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
