    I've been emailing my DZ (I'm working night shift and sleep during the day) about getting up there. It's been a year since I've jumped and I really need the refreshers.

    Demerol. One of the things constantly on my mind during rehab was=if I lose my job, I won't be able to jump again.

    Gotta link to his touring schedule? I'm a bit of a science nerd and enjoy that sorto thing.

    Seeing as how I took a year off to sort out some personal problems, my next trip will be to my DZ for Safety Day. Knees in the breeze will come later.

    Second to that. Make my choice a Victory HopDevil, or Great Lakes Brewing Co. Holy Moses. Or Arrogant Bastard. This is a bad thread for a BeerAdvocate to be in, I could list a few hundred beers I'm fond of, but HopDevil is my go-to brew of choice.

    I'm cute, too

    Bah, who needs med school. Be a nurse!

    Are there any other King Airs than the mighty Mike Mullins version?
  9. SkydivingNurse
    Does anyone know if there are any downloadable programs that would let me (on my pc) fly his mighty King Air? I've flown Cessna 182's, Twin Otters, King Air, flown them over Grove City, but I want to fly his plane. and yes, there is a skydiver/parafoil floating around on the net, but it's very hard to control.

    Yup. I'm a total nerd with too much time on my hands, so I know these things. Of course, I'd trade most of my knowledge away for a date.

    10+ no shit. I live in Pittsburgh, it's now the snow season and my POS Ford Probe GT (the GT makes it tight, hahaha, oh wait...) that has a missing back window. There's an inch of snow in my back seat, which is bad, but at least it's covering the trash. The ride to work in the morning is pure freezing hell.

    This enormous skydiver will devour us all!

    When one of my patients takes this stuff and the effect finally arrives, we always announce "Code Brown" over the paging system. My favorite, though, is a product called Go-Lytely. You do any BUT go lightly.

    It took me four YEARS to decide on the design for my one and only (so far) tat. Don't give in to frustration my friend! I almost got a tattoo of Bart Simpson on my arm when I was in the Navy. Thanks be that I wised up (sobered up as well) before I went through with it. BTW, the tat I went with is a caduceus with an intentional flaw in the design, I have all of the preliminary and final drawings, so I can be reasonably sure it won't end up as flash.

    Two or three of our residents are Muslims that break my heart into tiny little pieces each time they come to my floor. I think they have to marry within their religion, though, and I'm an agnostic.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I may not have met anyone here (yet) but I loves ya all just the same.

    I've downloaded a few things off Kazaa, but I wouldn't pirate skydiving movies.

    I'm taking a break from my AFF whilst I concentrate on staying sober.

    Vincent's Pizza in Pittsburgh PA. Best.Pizza.Ever. Homemade dough, throws toppings on by the handful, sheer beauty.

    I'm so freaking jealous I could scream. This is already the best skydiving site I've seen, and the only one I have bookmarked. Congrats on the cutaway, and I can't wait to sign up.
  21. SkydivingNurse
    Sounds like you already had a "freebag"
  22. SkydivingNurse
    I've seen more people die than I care to (I'm a nurse), and don't need to see any more of it than I have to. It's never pretty.

    Look up a condition called fatal familial insomnia. One man stayed awake for six months, went quite insane, and then died. Scary stuff. Useful trivia: your bladder has nerve cells called stretch receptors that tell your brain how full the bladder is. Full bladder=an increased release of antidiuretic hormone=the reason why once you go, you have to keep going. Alcohol supresses the release of antidiuretic hormone=the reason why you have to pee more when drinking alcohol. Add both together=your pituitary wants a break.

    There's a name for the act of throwing someone out of a window: defenestration. A pig that has been castrated before reaching sexual maturity is called a barrow. Callipygian: having shapely buttocks.

    If you can find it, an old Russel Crowe movie called Romper Stomper will give you a fix of brutal violence. Hard to find, though. If you want to watch a movie so violently horrible that it will shatter your mind into a thousand pieces, and then pee on those pieces, rent Mariah Carey's "Glitter". Horrifying stuff.
