At what jump was your first cutaway?

Same-Sex Marriage Amendment Fails in House

Well, it's not like they made their intentions crystal clear regarding slavery, women's right to vote, etc... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
Mine are... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Is that a promise? I never said that wouldn't happen, I only warned her that I am poisoned (it's a dart thang) "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I knew it. I'm on to you... And I am poisonned... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

SHe's not. It's a trick. Run. Run for your life. She does that all the time. It's a trap... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

And which moral would you be refering to? Are you THE chosen one, guardian of universal morality? Come out of the closet already... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
Yummmmmmmmy. I can't wait

MOAB was awesome. I'll post photos later today. And I got my first cutaway there...

I say: 1/ Cut you hair off. Change of look also helps refreshing the mind 2/ Get your nipple pierced. That way, your dad won't even pay attention to the tattoo...

What's causing pilot chutes in tow?
Frenchy68 replied to JohnMitchell's topic in Safety and Training
I had a PC in tow about a month ago. Not 100% sure, but I assume it was caused by a lazy throw, and the PC got caught in my burble. After feeling nothing happening for way too long, I grabbed my cutaway pillow. It seems that the action of reaching for it cleared the PC, and it caught air and the canopy deployed fine. 1,000ft lower than I would have liked it though. Since then, I've been doing the "looking over the shoulder" thang after throwing the PC out...

This week end, at the MOAB boogie (BTW amazing!). Jumping a Turbo ZX 165, loaded at about 1:1.15. First jump of the day on Sunday, solo FF from 13k, uneventfull, pulled at 4k, loooooonnnnnnnngggggggg snivel (probably around 1,000ft). Then finaly the canopy opens hard, Wham, into a left turn. Which turns into a faster and faster left spin. As my Pro-Track goes off at 2,800ft (my hard deck is at 2,500ft), the spin becomes more violent. I can not see any line twists or a line over, and I can see that both toggles are still stowed. As I was at my hard deck, I put one hand on each handle, made sure I had a firm grip on both (as the little voice in my head kept saying "you don't have an RSL"...). I peeled red, made sure one more time I had a good grip on Silver, pulled red, waited about 2 secs (until I felt I really was back in freefall), and pulled silver. Pro-Track showed deployment at 2,500ft. Uneventfull ride under the reserve. Follwed my free bag and main, decided that I could land close to them as it was wide open and fairly flat. Landed about 30 feet from both. However, I lost both handles, and therefore wasn't able to get a re-pack... Oh well. Now off to the liquor store to get my rigger some booze...

I would. I even married such a person. Never had any problem. Just have to be careful. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

The posts sure to follow should definitely move us to the SC! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

You're such a snob "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Well, it would then end up in the Speaker's Corner. That way, Kallend, Kev, PJ & Tuna could participate Very good point. Moral is a personal thing, not what people CLAIM moral is...

I was in a 3 year relationship, met a girl who was involved with someone for years; we clicked, dumped our respective BF/GF, got married 5 weeks later. Didn't last forever. Only 9 years... But it never occured to me that her sleeping with me while she was (and so was I) involved with someone else would make her "risky" for a committed relationship. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I will definitely give you that. And there are lots of assholes pretending they will get out of their "commitment" just for the quick action. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

OK

If you cheated because you fell in love, and follow through with a commitment to that person you love, there's no reason why it would work out any worse (or better for that matter) than the previous relationship. I am not advocating cheating on one's spouse. But i think there are instances where the person committing adultery is not necessary an asshole.

You mean everyone on this forum was single for a while until they got involved in a relationship? Is there a possibility that a married person meets someone, falls in love, gets divorced and moves on with that new relationship? Just wondering. Flame away

Quitting is easy, I do it every month... 10 days and counting...

It's kind of a complicated formula, involving his number of posts, wingloadind, and the mass of his right eyeball under average temperature... Happy B-Day (Bidet?) Kallend. Now get off the Speaker's Corner for a sec and acknowledge all these posts...

If a married man or woman is out looking for action, there is something seriously wrong with the relationship in the first place. Faithfulness is meaningless if one has to force himself/herself to honor it. Not talking about the occasional temptation (which should be resisted), but more about a pattern of cheating. Move on. Would I sleep with a married woman knowing that doing so would affect an otherwise seemingly happy marriage? No. Would I sleep with a married woman on the verge of separating from her husband? Can't say for sure. My humble frog opinion...
