Paige, I liked your poem, too. It sounds like an amazing feeling, and poetry is a cool way to express amazing feelings... I also like your new sig line.

Can you tell us who's who in the picture? Cool pic!

Vinny, it was good to get to party with you before you go! I'm going to miss you -- I haven't yet met anyone else who gets so infectiously excited about skydiving! Lessons learned from the evening: - Pop's BBQ rocks! Just hover when the meat is almost ready. - Be prepared for anything when playing Lancaster Bomber. - Don't give Vinny your right hand when standing on the trampoline. - Women have no power to coax Vinny down from the roof. He'd rather jump off. Uh huh. Have fun globe trotting and then in Florida! Happy trails... Jen

Wow, I never realized Seb's eyelashes are so long...

Heck, who could say no To a freezing cold beer bath? Sounds tempting to me! We all need to do What we know is right for us. Great big hugs to you.

Would an oxygen mask help?

Don't know what to say. You're an awesome instructor. Things just aren't the same... Be well and happy. Breaks are important sometimes, And friends are still there.

Today someone must Start a second haiku thread... Like the last two weeks... It's most important That we keep Andy happy. Who wants to start it?

Cool thing with English: Anything can be a verb! Just try it and see.

I don't know you, but I've read a bunch of your posts. If you want to do it, you will. Things that are worthwhile are seldom easy. And when it comes to getting through AFF... if I could do it, anyone can. Still don't have my license, though... Vibes and good luck. I was glad to hear you didn't need surgery.

Hey, Vinny, I'm making a cake for your going away party. Do you like strawberry? I have a kick-ass strawberry cake recipe...

Remind me to bring smelling salts on the plane...

My current favorite is "You Are My Kind," which is on Santana's most recent album, Shaman. Rob Thomas (of Matchbox 20) wrote it, and Seal sings it. The weird thing about love songs is that how much we like them depends so much less on the song itself than it does on what we associate with it. Maybe that's true of all songs. You Are My Kind Stay with me baby And that's all I ask of you And I know that someday You won't remember The way that this moment feels to you Don't let it go Don't turn your back on what you think you know You never know you know Don't leave it alone Cause I need you to cling to Chorus: Cause you are my kind You're all that I want Here in this life Until we are gone Our breath and our skin Our hearts and our minds They're one and the same You are my kind Well call on me baby If you should ever need someone To help get your head straight I'll be your resident all night Sure am glad just having you around Well all that I know When you find love you never let it go You never know you know Without you I'm lost I get scattered I'm shattered Chorus: Cause you are my kind You're all that I want Here in this life Until we are gone Our breath and our skin Our hearts and our minds They're one and the same Cause you are my kind We're one and the same You are my kind Don't let it go Don't turn your back on what you think you know You never know you know Don't leave it alone Cause I need you to cling to Chorus: Cause you are my kind You're all that I want Here in this life Until we are gone Our breath and our skin Our hearts and our minds They're one and the same Cause you are my kind Bridge Our love and our life My heart and my soul I need you tognight Your love makes me whole And it's all I can stand Until you come home I need you tonight Cause you are my kind I need you tonight Cause you are my kind Oh, oh, oh ,oh you are my kind Oh, oh, oh ,oh you are my kind

I downloaded and printed the PDF. I'm reading parts of it during my commute. I have 22 jumps (one a tandem) and don't yet have my A license. I got the SIM because I need information to get both my license and a good basic foundation for learning more. Like skyyhi, I ask questions of my instructors. Both reading and asking directly are helping.

Hmmm... I'm starting to see how you could put your foot in your mouth and blow it with this wonderful woman. Need some pointers?

If it will help the situation, I'll send your leather cat suit back. I'm finished with it for now...

That's my favorite answer so far! And congratulations on your first post!

So are you pregnant, Sky? Have you and Vallerina discussed names yet? Started saving for the baby's education?

Deleted because people can be sensitive...

I'm planning to be there... In the short time I've been coming to Hollister, Vinny's become one of my favorites. I'll be sorry to see him go! Vinny, just tell me what you want to drink, I'll bring some...

Sweet! Who's the lucky fella?

(((((((((VIBES))))))))))))) I hope she's OK again soon! HOPE is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, -- Emily Dickinson

An offer? I wouldn't go that far... Just throwing out ideas. What I could do is hook you up with someone who might enjoy giving pain as much as you enjoy receiving it. On the other hand, that might upset your current pain-inflicting S.O., José Cuervo. Lemme know if you and José need a break...

Great pics, dbcooper, Vallerina, and craichead!

I've been hearing different opinions about this, and I'm just curious. Skydivers, what does a kiss pass mean to you?
