Is it called the Luge? You know, the bob sled looking thing that shoots down the tube at SUPER fast speeds. That is probably what I would be best at. I would want to be best at the thingy where the skiers jump off the ramp and do flipees and then land like it was no big deal. Can you tell I haven't been really watching the Olympics this year?

DUDE! So am I - what the hell? Yeah, it must be the lesbian porn thing "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

You totally suck ass! "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Do you know what state or county the parents divorced in? If so, and depending on how old the divorce is, the divorce can probably be found in a public records search at the family court in the county of the divorce. With those papers you could also get past addresses, possible maiden names, etc. and have a little more to go on. Also, if you have the place of death. Contact the county recorder in that location and request the death certificate. Some states place the surviving family members on the death certificate. Also, you could search obituaries for further information (search the local newspaper for the city of your father's death). Usually the obituary will again list surving family members and sometimes even lists where those family members live. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

How common are the names you are searching? "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Wondering what the rest of the country/world is like? In So. Cal, seems like EVERYONE has these in their cars. Is very distracting to me but at least when I'm stuck in bumper to bumper traffic (which is pretty much ALWAYS) I can watch TV. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Hey, at least you could use a tandem rig if need be. How about getting rigs that fit us teeny, tiny, SUPER short (borderline midget) people? When I used rental gear you could probably fit an elephant between the space left between my body and the rig when I arched. Oh yes, did I mention that after tightening the leg straps there is so much excess that it won't even fit in the stow pockets? I basically needed an entire box of rubber bands to stow the excess.

I just received 50 beautiful pink, red and & white tulips (my favorite flower) from my hubby

Sucky. I personally always refer to myself as a novice jumper. I often still feel like a student and rightfully so. Personally, I feel at less than 100 jumps, shit more than that for some peeps, you should consider yourself an advanced student. I'm still getting coaching, learning different disciplines (none of which are anywhere near being perfected). Personally, I think if you are not humble in this sport (whether you have 14 jumps or you have 14,000 jumps) the sport WILL humble you. If/When that happens to your friend, I hope he survives it. Ignore his shit. You'll catch up to him soon enough and if you're smart about it, probably learn a hell of a lot more than him. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Tough guy You scored 65% masculine, 70% athletic, 36% exotic, and 50% refined! You love men, you love testosterone and you know it. You like a bad-ass man who knows what he wants. He isn't what you might bring home to mom but I don't think it really matters - he's hot! Someone like.....Vin Diesel. But let's face it, the whole point of this was to look at a bunch of hot guys. If you liked what you saw, please rate my test! Umm....the one where I had to pick between Tom Cruise and the other dude....all I got to say is YUCK!!! I liked the part where you don't know who the hell you're lookin' at "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

No you cant That is the ORIGINAL FLITE SUIT LOGO! This makes out 95% of the immense value of the suit. It would be an act of barbarism if you removed it! Ok, ok, ok - I'll be a nice barbarian. Give me your address, I'll send it to you once I get it off. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

I jump at San Diego. Since the ownership change things have slowed down slightly but seem to be picking back up (it's been pretty nice here weather wise). Being as fair as possible, I would defend the DZ and say No, it's not a tandem factory. Will you share the ride up with tandems? Probably. But as I responded to another poster once before, I have never been bumped from a load nor I have ever been on a load with all tandems. Having said that, I'm sure this thread will now be enundated with posters talking about the drama that has occurred with the ownership change The fact is San Diego was and remains an absolutely beautiful place to jump with extremely friendly fun jumpers and staff. There is covered packing with plenty of room to actually do the packing. We have few to no "Sky Gods." We have an AWESOME pilot (Adam) and an equally awesome Otter, sometimes they run the Caravan too or instead of. If you are into BIG DZs, San Diego is probably not your best bet around here. I would highly suggest coming by and forming your own opinion. Plenty of Elsinore and Perris jumpers on this site to give you more info on those DZs.

Sweet! Yes, I could not resist the urge to pull when removing the stitching from a VERY bad pull-in job on a RW suit. Let's just say, it is not a mystery to anyone that I had to let that puppy back out "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Why, yes. Thank you, I am "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

No hole, it's just that GIAGANTIC advertisement, I mean brand name patch that FliteSuit used to put on all their jumpsuits. I guess I need to know if Flitesuit glues that patch in the center bottom or if I can simply remove the VERY fine stitching around the border of the patch? "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

That's right ladies & gents - I won it on EBay baby!!!! I'm sure it won't be too hard to spot me in my new-to-me Pink Pather style FF suit. Try not to be too PINK with envy In all seriousness, can I get that damn black patch off the leg without screwing it up? Its an older () flitesuit. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Word! Skydiving has actually become somewhat affordable now that I pack my own shit. I used to be TERRIFIED to pack for myself. After one MAJOR slammer I said "That's it - I pack for myself." Since then, openings have been awesome. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Costa Rica is a definite some time in the future. However, the vacation choices I listed on the poll are what they are because we can get free air fare to all 4 places. My feeling is try and get as much bang for our buck and use it on the trip that would be most expensive if we had to buy the tickets. I don't think we'll do the hotel thing unless we go to DC or FL. We'll probably look for a rental/timeshare/B&B or something like that. We're pretty low maintenance travelers and actually hate "touristy" type things - we like to make our own adventure of our trips and hang with locals as much a possible. We definitely don't need maid or room service. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Cool tat BUT Rosa is MUCH more attractive than the tat chick. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Well, funny you should post that arguement. This seems to be the consensus of the women I work with (mind you, it's an uptight law firm). Personally, they biggest damage done (besides the parents childish reactions, was embarrassment to the child). Anyone ever just apologize anymore? I think it would be appropriate for the school board/spelling bee people to make a public apology for their error, state their case in relation to the rules and strive never to make the same stupid mistake again. Then her parents could have taught her that shit does happen but sometimes people take responsibility for their mistakes. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/02/08/spelling.bee.ap/index.html I'm curious to see what others think. I'd be SUPER pissed as well but can also buy the analogy to a sports call (as I have also been SUPER pissed at those as well). Do you think these parents have completely missed the point if they decide to sue the school district? "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Also check out Kurupee http://www.kurupee.com/ They start at $159 for a suit and $109 for pants. I've been told they are not the best quality but that is about the same price you'd pay for a used suit by other manufacturers. Plus, the response time I've experienced with Kurupee is FAST!!! Plus, you could pick you own colors

Woodchuck: http://www.northstar.k12.ak.us/schools/joy/creamers/Mammals/Largemammals/woodchuck.jpeg He looks like he REALLY wants to chuck some wood......hee, hee - wood "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

A wood chuck would chuck all the wood a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood....hey, why can't a wood chuck chuck wood? "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix
