I just wonder what happened after I went to bed that the other two threads disappeared. Hmmmm.

Dude, I'm eating lunch right now. I guess you did warn us. It was good to see you on Saturday. I've got my fingers crossed for you, and I hope that leg is as good as new soon. Be well.

I have the same question...
-
Thanks for explaining. I watched the video a couple of times, but I have to admit I couldn't tell what exactly happened. I'm really glad you're both okay. I'll look forward to seeing you in California again soon, Tim!

What's the rule on this?

I thought you loved him.

Want to come up to SF? I'm too lazy to go down there...
-
LMAO! I needed that right now. Thanks.

Kellogg's Product 19. And Crispix. And Nature's Path Organic Multigrain Oat Bran. Nothing too sugary. Did you slice bananas onto your Cheerios? Very yummy.

There is something unreal about relating to people online. There are people I know both on the forums and in person. It seems like the online vs. real relationships are actually separate things, even though they can affect each other. I think it may be difficult for people to be themselves all the way when they're posting on a public Internet forum. After all, this may feel like family (not to me, but to some), but anyone in the world with an Internet connection can read what we write here. My two cents. I'm not sure whether this really addresses what you're feeling, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Ooooouuch!

Probably that I missed Mardi Gras. My whole celebration consisted of snarfing a truly decadent ice cream sundae while working on my taxes. I didn't even realize that it was Mardi Gras until after I started. Did I come up with a good excuse? (It's real, BTW.)

I like beads. As a matter of fact, I was going to try to staple some beads to my desk and take a picture of them. With a framed skydiving picture in the background. If it looks gay, I'm truly fine with that.

Dude, I already gave kissing advice. That's about enough love for one day. OK, general agape to everyone. TTFN.

I was wondering the same thing as flyangel2, but if you really want advice from a random stranger like me, here goes... A good kiss starts with a good conversation, when both people are feeling connected, and probably thinking about it anyway. Make sure you're both comfortable and relaxed, in a pleasant place with a reasonable amount of privacy. It's not a good idea to be completely lit up for your first kiss, because it leaves both people wondering afterwards if it was a good idea. If you aren't certain about how she'll react, don't just go straight in for the kiss. Start by holding her hand. Offer her a backrub. Play with her hair a little bit. You'll get the signals that will tell you if it's OK to kiss her. Also, don't try to stick your tongue down her throat right away. Start with just the lips, softly, and then back up for a moment. Gauge the situation. Work slowly up to something more intense. Have fun and good luck. Just one stranger's opinion...

That's the goal.

Want a thermos of extremely strong coffee? No? How about a shot of Wild Turkey?
-
I gotta make it to Florida sometime...

Cool. I'm telling myself that this rain is preventing us from having a drought this summer, when we will go months in a row without seeing a drop of rain. Now that will be cool.
-
Is it raining where you are? Did you get drenched on your way to work? My commute involves walking to and from public transit, so I got drenched twice. It was fun. I started feeling like an adventurer discovering new territories. I was literally wading through water up to my knees a few times. Having gotten drenched on this commute before, I had the foresight to bring a change of clothes to work with me today, but my office mate is laughing at the soaked clothes I have draped over our guest chair. Maybe we'll order pizza for lunch and just stay inside. Happy Wednesday...

Cool, will you be out next weekend?
-
That scar is naaaasty. The tattoo, on the other hand, is quite nice. I feel incredibly gypped that you're not going to be able to jump out of a plane with me any time soon. In fact, I'm kind of grumpy about it. Get well soon.
-
It does. Thanks. Edited to add: I still would have found it helpful if the SIM had specified that the distance was from the jumper's feet, not eyes. If they're going to provide a definite number, they could provide a body part for reference.

This is one of the reasons I don't normally post skydiving-related questions on here. Based on your profile, you have no instructor ratings and 165 jumps. This question was directed to instructors. I realize that the small piece of information I requested is not the entire picture, but it is not irrelevant. It is information I needed in order to get a better understanding of the bigger picture. The bigger picture cannot be addressed in its entirety here.

Mike, I'll be out soon, although it looks like this weekend won't happen. I definitely don't think I can solve my landing problems online. I just thought it would help to get a better understanding of what the suggested numbers are supposed to mean. I thought that 3-5 feet from one's feet and 8-12 feet from one's eyes might not actually be different things. But now my understanding is that all the heights are measuring the distance from the jumper's feet to the ground. Every time I've asked this question, I've ended up in a more general discussion of landing (which I need!), but I haven't actually gotten the question answered. (Thanks, GravityGirl!) If you want to work with me on my landings, I'd be delighted!
