Don't forget us E-coasters in Florida, like Skydive Sebastian! Caravan during the summer, and Skyvan & Otter during the winter! It's awesome!! Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Wow, man, you tell quite a story! That's a helluva thing to have had to go through, but you amaze me with your total positivity after it. I don't detect a single iota of "woe-is-me-ism" from you, and that alone puts you way ahead of probably most of the population, which would be here griping about the injuries, the costs, the pain, the loss of an eye!... Rock on, man. I'm sure, as you are, that life has some major cool stuff in store for you. Congratulatiosn on being around to see the rest of it. Heal up, friend.

Yes, and also let's maybe hope that the plane's occupants and people on the ground are maybe alright, too... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Excellent, Mike! Congratulations. Now take it easy on yourself and let the learning really start to happen! Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

No undies here. Ever. Well, only if I'm wearing a suit -- and I do that like maybe once or twice a year. And I hate it. So I avoid it. Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I would steel myself against the distastefulness of her and I'd do Diane Feinstein just so I could rip up that asshole and leave her all kindsa fucked up. No lube, full speed. Hey, you didn't say it had to be because we found them attractive. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Homer: "I'm whizzin' with the door open, and I'm lovin' it!" Homer: "A woman is a lot like... a refrigerator! They're 6 feet tall, about 300 pounds... they ...make ice... No no, wait a minute, a woman is a lot like a beer! They look good. They smell good. You'd step over your own mother just to get one! But you can't stop at just one -- you want to drink another woman!" Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, yeah, it was risky and stupid, taking people's lives lightly, I suppose. But was there any reason for them to know or suspect that they would lose the engines -- and also to not be able to get them restarted? I don't know nearly enough about flying jets to be able to say. I still think it's sad. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Freakin' awesome skydive, girl! That looks GREAT! Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Heh, I've been near the center of controversy here, 'cause I always jump barefoot. I have 178 jumps, and the last 174 of them have been barefoot with zero exceptions. I just really like doing it that way. I'm also really never seen around the DZ with shoes on in the first place. Being barefoot is kinda part of my lifestyle.

The obvious: I do it again! Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Hey, good thing for Canadian gun registration! The guy wasn't able to murder any... oops. Oh. So he was. Let's hear again how safe the world will be when guns are outlawed. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Thank you -- exactly! Most of my skydiver friends have never seen me in shoes, period, because I just don't like wearing them. I am a much happier, relaxed, peaceful person barefoot (and I need all the help I can get, there! ). And I just absolutely loooove jumping barefoot, so I do. I've weighed the risks, just like like I've done to decide to skydive, period. My canopy control and landing ability are two things I have enough confidence in. Yeah, people will scratch their heads and think I'm a fool, but I've been jumping barefoot since the two tandems I did before my AFP, and I jumped barefoot all the way through training. It was a classic example of being permitted to do what you feel like doing because the ultimate responsibility for your safety on a skydive rests with you. Those around me recognized that it was a decision for me to make; they could give input, but since many of them were jumping barefoot themselves, you can guess that I didn't meet much resistance. I really had hoped this thread would not turn into a "bash Misty for doing stuff she's not ready to do"-fest. Let's turn it back around and just say, Heal up quickly, Misty! We love you!

Ahh, screw it! Go barefoot if you want, just land where you're supposed to, chica! LOL! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

LOL! I get the occasional sandspur, yeah, but at least I make sure to land on the grass! Misty, hon, you are dear to us all -- get better quick, darlin'.

OMG MISTY!!!! Oh, you precious precious girl, I am glad you're not worse hurt, and I hope you're all better really fast. You know I send you the hugest in the universe for speedy healin' of those adorable little feet! I feel kinda bad, setting an example for barefoot skydiving on ya, but I am kinda warmed inside that you were doing it, anyway, and I love ya for trying!

My results: You answered "yes" to 28 of 70 questions, making you 60.0% unconsciously pure (40.0% unconsciously corrupt); that is, you are 60.0% pure in the unconscious domain. According to the scoring guide, your unconscious experience level is: Regrettably Normal - Your very existence defies all logic. Okay, um, sure. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I got like 53%. I'm okay with that.

You crack me up! I have always liked your username! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

THAT we can do!

You are such a dork.... have you gotten your girl thrown from an airplane yet? Nope, not yet. But we will. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, it really doesn't frighten me, as I am pretty sure I am not going to care what happens with my body or earthly possessions when I go... but I still think that it is important for all those left behind to be able to look around them and see that the last wishes of others are being honored. Otherwise, what we what we'll be seeing is evidence that people just don't even respect those who have died, and don't take seriously the importance of honoring their requests. Or at least, the reasonable ones. I'm not saying that if I put in my will that I want to be rolled up in the center of the world's largest rubber-band ball that my survivors should have to go to all that trouble. But a request that one's private papers be burned? And then some other dude second-guesses you?! Oh, by the way, sorry, I forgot the link! Here it is: Pope's last wishes not honored by his confidant Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Saint, you seem like a really cool guy to know, period. Please, look me up if you're ever in Sebastian to skydive.

LOL! I had the Odyssey II system also! It was pretty cool! And we wanted the Atari, too, but I guess we were pushin' too hard. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I like yours -- it does capture a bit of sassiness/sexiness! When I see it over there to the left of a post, I kinda get a little tingle of expectation... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
