And mad golfcart driving skillz. You know you're my homegirl (you lunch-stealing chickie)...by the way, I'll be driving the cart for the ENTIRE convention next year Anyway, not to hijack the thread..I'm not a 'real skydiver' yet, but you make your own way. Accept yourself and have some FUN with it! Ask a silly question..make some Monday morning hiakus...post a boobie thread with no boobies IN it. ...when all else fails, start a fight in Speakers Forum (I'm scared of that place)~~A. Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

what she said except use a pic of someone else R.i.P. How's about ua pic of YOU? hmmmm?~~A. Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I wouldn't care even if you did.

Meh. Dz.com is one of the few places I don't spell check or even reread for typos. *shrug* I guess I just don't care enough. Hey, now! I really wasn't trying to point out your mispelling, I was just commenting on cliques period...I'm pretty comfy here too, and although I'm an exceptional speller, I have my own little glitches (sailor's mouth). So please don't think I was trying to correct you.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

You are scary!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone has started a thread that 'clunked' at least ONCE...maybe you are putting threads where there is no interest...like putting a female concern in the Speakers Forum...or asking about something that happened in the Incident thread that was more emotional than factual. I wouldn't worry too much about 'cliques'..just be yourself and good luck (see, you DID get responses this time ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thats a GOOD one..its for a bank (can't remember which) but it promotes their retirement program...hmmm..CITI?~~~April Yeah I loved. Looked to be the best skydiving commercial I have ever seen. No fancy shit just skydiving. I totally understood it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That old man was beautiful too...and I don't mean that in the basic sense. He just GRACIOUS..but when he left the door..he did a little hotdogging.~~A. Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I'm waiting to find out if it was from the Cypress firing or him falling off the golfcart. He bitched about falling off the cart more, so thats my guess! (and I was NOT driving it). Get well soon, Jake, I want to come out to play this summer!!!!! Hugs and kisses and some chocolate covered Vicodin for ya!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Jean-Paul........as in Jean-Paul Thacker. Really nice old guy that owns Raeford,DZ. Walks with a serious limp.....I hear it's because he burned in under a double mal. He has spent most of his life building Raeford to be the DZ it is today. I started skydiving there and I'm very grateful to him for that. I just hate to see some people........no matter how high speed....skilled....whatever.......that's great........causing the guy such a HUGE liability for him. Lets just say hypothetically......she burns in and kills someone. You know damn well who is gonna get sued......and he will have LITTLE to no defense. But.........again..........I obviously don't know shit. It just tends to piss me off when people so flagrantly risk OTHER PEOPLE'S lives and livelyhoods. Edit to add: Once again......when it's YOUR millions of dollars worth of aircraft and property at stake......do whatever you like. Till then........ I'm curious to have you ever MET and talked to Gene Paul? Your physical description of him is not respectful to the man I have met on numerous occasions: with age comes wisdom (he's not some broken down old coger), and that limp is testament that he's seen more than many and is still in the game and has many contacts that are loyal to his and Miss Billie's airport. He has made many sacrifices to the sport (you can see the biggest as you pull into the airport) and he is ALWAYS somewhere ready to stop someone and ask them if they are SURE they know what they are doing. IF you don't, you're not going to do it there so if this young lady is jumping at Raeford, I'm sure he is not losing any sleep over it. As far as 'the nice old man' comment is concerned, follow him around, for you must not have seen him doing business. The man is on the BALL. I watched this young lady work before and she didn't give up for hours. I asked her if she was tired and she said 'yes, but its my job' and I brought her a bottle of water. Of course I knew she was young, but who I am to question what a highschooler does for spending money if the owners know she is there and she is obviously TRUSTED. I've highlighted your last comment for emphasis. It is Gene Pauls show and he knows what he's doing.~~April P.S. Rock on, little sister. I hope to have my A and jump with you this summer! Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Jen, I'm so amazed at how far you've come sof quickly. I'm reading your post and I love how your vocabulary has changed and you're getting a FLOW in expressing it. Rock on, Girlie!!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Ugggh. Now I'm going to have nightmares and it is all this thread's fault! Um...no...we're ALL gonna have nightmares and its YOUR fault and we weren't even there!!! (where's the weeping and gnashing of teeth smiley??) I dont' know how you let that happen the 2nd time. I would have HAD to jump up and either told her to stop or just leave and tell her later I can't take that! ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I don't see a problem with smoking after....now DURING..there's a problem ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

There are so many ways to set dreds--you can braid them and just let the braids lock...you can use wax..you can even use thread. My sister set mine. She used beeswax and handed me a scarf and said good luck. For each lock she used two 'pieces' of hair. (as opposed to using three to make a braid) She took two pieces of hair and put the wax in and twisted them into pigtails (very short) and put a rubber band on the end of each. When they are 'set' you just take the band off and separate one piece from the other (are you following me?). You can shampoo while they are setting IF you have the bands in and are committed to twisting (without more beeswax) right after. And a side note, you do NOT have to use wax anymore after they are set. My cousin and I had a disagreement with that because she went to a salon (ca-ching!) and they put so much wax on her I called her 'candle in the wind' for a year). There are different types of hair and different degrees of 'locked' and anyone can do them (not everybody should). Mine are very tight and thin, but of course I want the big fluffly ones! I'm sorry for the person that didn't enjoy the experience cause I really love mine and have a 10 year commitment to them (2 more years). We'll see after that. Good luck and enjoy and don't go crazy with the wax ~~April P.S. as far as shampoo...whatever you LIKE! Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Woohoo, congrats, Jen! I can't believe how quickly you went through your training. You're kicking butt, girl! Looks like you'll have good weather until Friday. Get those jumps in! I couldn't be happier for Jen!! I wish I could be there with her, but its not MY turn yet. I knew she was going to do well, there's NO stopping her now!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I am sleepy. I thought this said MONEY sex...wouldn't Monday sex be the same as Sunday sex except the getting up and going to work after?~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

- Reisling. It's a white, and French and German reislings are very sweet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So are French and German (males~~heehee)... But if you know about those regions, check out the Reislings from Washington and Oregon. You will be suprised there too. (I prefer the German) but if you find a really nice vineyard in the U.S. , let us know~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

You didn't look like a tourist at WFFC More sox and sneakers, GF you never saw my bare feet again!~~A. Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Have you ever run into someone on the internet that was so obnoxious you think that they wouldn't (or couldn't) POSSIBLY be that disgusting in real life for fear of their personal safety? The type of person that takes a tragedy and makes light of it? You don't think those people are real but they are! I saw on the news this morning ONE (count 'em...just ONE) person who survived the tsunami on a resort and was not affected. This man said that it didn't hit his side of the beach and he had a happy Christmas and is looking forward to staying there for New Years, which will also be enjoyable. I'm aware that editing could have been done to remove any concern this guy could have stated for the sake of sensationalism---but that smile was unbelieveable! The piece was on NBC's Today show...just a blurb...but I'm sure that you'll see THIS asshat on the later broadcasts tonight. I'm sure his parents are very proud. So without pointing your finger at any DZcommers...have you seen 'internet' people in real life?~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I'll never forget when April said she hated tan lines. I looked at her and thought to myself, "Wait a second, this is a black person, how can she have tan lines." Then she rolled down her sock, and sure enough, she had a tan line OMG, Mary!! I had to go thru the rest of the summer with pale feet!! It was horrible--no matter WHERE I went I looked like a tourist! Another fun thing is choosing the correct SPF. The clerks in the drugstores really enjoy my naive questions. I guess the fight against tan lines knows no boundaries! ~~April P.S. if you can see this tan line, you're driving too close! Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

MUST.........NOT.........MAKE..........CRUDE......JOKE!!!!!! Um...NO!!!!!!!!~~A. Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

You should definitely try the new army of Merlots coming from Australia... My favorite: Yellowtail Shiraz (sp) or Merlot. The merlot is a hearty party in your mouth. Try it and let me know what you think. I wish I had a glass now to describe it, but I can just remember a full BOLD taste. Full courses...you name it, you'll taste it. ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!
