Definately a great feeling and I honestly don't know what was different. I slid all my AFF jumps in on my rear. Maybe I was more comfortable. I was so stoked that the chute I packed opened softly w/out any problems that by the time I made it to the ground I was feelin good!!! A couple of tip-toe landings yesterday. Almost fairy like. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

What a great Sunday of jumping at Skydive Monroe's Spring CASA Boogie. I had SIX FIRSTS!!! My first two way (sort of) on my first jump off of AFF flying the first parachute I've ever packed (talk about nerves) in my first CASA airplane at my first participating boogie with my first stand-up landing. I feel extremely accomplished and my chest and heart are swollen w/ pride!!!

You will probably have to/want to repeat a jump, and that's not so bad. My level 5 was 1/31. Financial crap, blah, blah, blah, finally got back out this weekend 4/17 (talk about a long gap), repeated level 5, with refresher ground training, level 6-7, and viola!!!! All done. No worries and good luck!!! I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

Congrats Chris!!!! That's awesome. Good luck to you both.

The reality of your situation is that your wife too has a full-time job. Maybe she should come home to a hot meal and clean laundry. I am a single mom w/ two small kids (2 and 7 months). I can't wait until Monday morning when I can drop the kids off at day care and go back to work. I'm absolutely physically and emotionally DRAINED after just 2 full days w/ them. I LOVE them, but there is NO WAY IN HELL I could be a stay at home mom. I applaud anyone who can do this w/out being committed into the looney bin or killing someone. And to think she gets them all up, one ready and off to school, entertains and takes care of the other two all day, gets the older one home from school in the afternoon. Fact of the matter is, there is no time to do all that other crap you mentioned. Those "chores" are night-time activities that you both do together. Ever tried cleaning a house w/ kids around? Put something up and something else finds it's way to the floor. I understand your frustration, but please put yourself in her shoes. She is MAXED out. Love her, adore her. Make her feel appreciated.

UGA News on www.uga.edu. Most of the details. One lady at an off campus location today went into seizures, stopped breathing and almost died when my boss told her. Very scary stuff. High administration has no idea how much this decision will effect the lives of these people. She really almost died. I'm super freaked out. My boss was in tears, manly man. I'm speechless... Thanks for the vibes. Still sucks. Their reason for today was legislation was over yesterday so people couldn't complain to their representatives. Did not balance the budget so special session here we come. They can spend $44,000/day for a special session, but we're laying off people w/ an annual salary of $20,000. Makes a helluva lot of sense to me. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

And in about 30 minutes I have to let one of the 47 go. The official announcement was released earlier today and this individual has already commented "I hope I don't have to stand in line at the soup kitchen". I had to act like I knew nothing. Budget cuts suck ass. What sucks more is that we're laying off people who have crappy salaries anyway. I don't understand how we're saving any money. People make fun of state employees, but losing your job is losing your job. This will probably be one of the hardest things I've ever done... I like coconuts.

Newbie here, What DO YOU DO if you have a linover on your reserve? Any yes, I'll ask my JM's the same question. I'm not sure if I jump w/ a hook knife in AFF. Definately need to find this one out. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

I go to a teeny tiny country church (10 members on a good day) and surprise surprise I've been spending many a Sunday lately at the DZ. My mom commented on this "There would be 3 more people in church if you brought your family". Here's my dream. My small country church turned into a boogie/dz. The airplane was parked in the gravel circle driveway and the church was filled w/ pews of skydivers. Manifest was at the pulpit and when your name was called you stood, exited the church and got on the plane. My church only gets that full for 3 occasions: homecoming, weddings and funerals. I told my mom and she said. That sounds great!!! Invite all of your skydiving friends to church w/ us. That dream still makes me laugh! I like coconuts.

I saw it at the Georgia Theater in Athens when it came out. All the beer in the world couldn't keep me from hiding my eyes for half the movie. Brutally honest? Yes... More info than I ever needed to know about addictions. I felt so sorry for the mother. All she wanted was to be pretty and noone knew she was going through hell. Am I glad I watched it? Still not sure. I had bad dreams about that movie for a while. My sis had friends die from heroin overdoses so it almost hits too close to home. I like coconuts.

I was inspired by recent events that made me take a look at what is important and whos opinions around me I consider to be important. With so many recent changes in my life I have been holding on to a few things simply b/c I'm scared to take my life in a completely different direction. When my life was unquestionably flipped upside down I was/am scared w/ the unfamiliar. I was forced to take my life in a different direction whether I wanted to or not. My life changes were very difficult, emotionally draining. I most of all didn't want to lose myself in the process. What I'm realizing is that I'm finding myself in the process and change is good. Holding onto habits just b/c their familiar isn't necessary. There is inspiration in the unfamiliar and I am willing and ready to make small changes in my life that will inevitably effect those around me and those that matter to me. I like coconuts.

Conversation by two old fellows The other day, someone at the co-op read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farm house in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up, Milo?" I smiled when I answered him saying, "I DID have a drug problem when I was a kid growing up on the farm in southeast Kansas. I was drug to church on Sunday mornings and for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers. I was also drug to the 'woodshed' when I disobeyed my parents or if I had a 'smart-mouth.' I was drug to my room to work on improving my homework and my attitude if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that! was asked of me. I was drug outside on Saturday mornings to pull weeds in our garden and flower beds." Those "drugs" are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America might be a better place today. I like coconuts.

I was a tried and true Bud Light drinker until I faced the fact that it made me bloated, no exceptions, everytime I drank it. I switched to Miller Lite and no more bloating... I hate to say it, but it's time to switch beer. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

Wow Sunny, you look super hot!!! I love the color too and the length and cut around your face is very complimentary. Not just saying this either!! You've got an awesome stylist that knows what looks good on you! Keep them, they're hard to find. Beach!!! I'm so jealous. Closest water to me is the river and it's not near as much fun. It will be lake time soon, must be patient. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

That is just wrong. That poor doll has breasts and a penis. WTF???? Inspiration gone south I'm sorry to say. Funny as hell none the less. Don't see myself bidding on that horrendous thing anytime soon though. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

Do a google search for Orthoptera, the order of insects that a grasshopper is a member of or more specifically Acrididae, a grasshoppers family name. Or simply search for grasshopper images. You will hit alot of academic institutional sites that usually have some great and high quality images. If you don't have any luck or your not satisfied w/ your search pm me. I'm an entomologist and have access to numerous high quality images of my favorite little guys, the bugs! I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!) A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) (I'm still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home.. Maybe at work.) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!") The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes... lucky pig.. can you imagine??) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm........) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing....) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig??) I like coconuts.

I voted companion. Friends are awesome. We couldn't live w/out them. Dates can go either way. Overnites don't really appeal to me. Spouse, been there done that, moving on. A companion would be someone that you feel completely comfortable with both emotionally and physically. And lets face it. Both of these are equally important. However, a companion could be a casual relationship. No strings attached. You do your thing, I'll do mine (within reason of course). I don't want to "share" someone physically and don't want to be "shared" either. When we see each other, great, let's have a kick ass time together. I don't worry about you, don't worry about me. Jealously? What's that? You asked. This is what I want! I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

I've lived in a haunted house as well. Pretty freakin weird. Fortunately my ghost was nice, but nice or not, there's no reason to turn my light on in the middle of the night, open my dresser drawers, turn the radio on and off, and stomp around the house like there are a million people there. I was never comfortable there. Especially when I was alone. Don't know what to tell you. You're doing someone a huge favor but, you're dealing w/ some wacky stuff. I tried this trick, and it worked for a little while. I sprinkled olive oil (holy water, whatever you prefer) in every doorway (including pantries and closets) in the house and blessed it. Made me feel better at least. Good luck girlie. Have you mentioned it to your friend? Many people don't believe in this and there is no way to convince someone. You must experience it to understand, but there are unrestful souls all around us. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

Blueskyserenity... b/c that's how I feel when I fly or when I look at a gorgeous blue sky. A tad bit from a Seinfeld episode when George's dad kept saying "Serenity Now!!!" when he was terribly annoyed. I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

Happy Birthday to you!!!! I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

Don't leave us hanging with a story like that and no video. Think, think, where did you see it and can you see it again? I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

Woooohoooo!! Movies are back!!! I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

I don't know. There's just something about Ducati Red that screams sex, sex, sexy!! I like coconuts. You can break them open and they smell like ladies lying in the sun!

I never knew any skydivers or really thought seriously about jumping (although I've always dreamed of flying and absolutely love the wind on my face and in my hair) until about 4 months ago when a new friend mentioned he was going jumping and showed me some awesome video and pictures. I decided immediately that I wanted to do a tandem jump and the next day I was upward bound for 2 tandems and now I'm almost finished w/ my AFF!!!
