I guess we are just supposed to use our imagination?? -
Has anybody heard anything about the Florida POPs bigway record attempt in March?? When will invitations go out?? Airfares have almost doubled in just the last two weeks and if they wait any longer to invite people, it will be too expensive to go.

is Houston Skydiving (as advertised here) and Skydive Houston the same place?? The Houston Skydiving link takes you to skydive Spaceland. Do they do that just to confuse people??

several things: 1)better running shoes - make a world of difference 2)various exercises - what you want to do is to stretch your toes back. a)sit onthe floor with your knees forward and your feet under your butt - toes pointed backwards. b) do a lot of toe extensions - stand flat on your feet and push up on your toes. c) try running on the balls of your feet d) when you run make a consious effort to push off with the balls of your feet and push back with your toes don't push things if you get shin splints - maybe hold off running for a few days and do stretching exercises instead. and believe me - good running shoes make a major difference - definately don't be running in tennis type or 'gym' shoes. have fun.......

actually, that was something I didn't know myself till two months ago. I got a print out of my prescriptions from the drug store. I figured that they were expensive - but had no idea what they cost. My co-pay for one of them (twice a day) is $25 - cost is $670 for 60. My co-pay for the other (once a day) is $25 - cost is $440 for 30. Sure glad I have good insurance thru work!!

Well, it has been almost a year now since I started on meds for HIV. And it was last November when I gave my last update. Just got my lab results back from last week. Very happy to say that the T-cell count is up to 427 (normal range is from 359 - 1519) and my viral load is undetectable. T's have been steadily going up since meds started and the viral load has been undetectable for most of the time also.

Requirements for a "C" License
aliveboy2004 replied to Mostly_Harmless's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I would thing that before you start doing the free flying thing - you should at least master the skills needed for belly related RW. If you can't perform some 'simple' RW skills you're nothing but an out of control Free Flyer attempting to be stable while opening your canopy. -
I personally can't think of too many things more dangerous than a tandem instructor with a camera attached to his/her arm. Just too many safety factors involved with openings, cutaways, entanglements, etc. I view tandem instructor held handcams as just a way for the TM to 'show off' for their passanger.

Well guys, it’s been quite a while now since I made a real “on topic” post. Went searching back and found this one from May 04 – “No, I had made the decision NOT to tell tandem passengers about my HIV status. Sorry, I don't consider it any of their business. The risk of HIV transmission from a tandem jump is virtually "0". As stated in earlier posts, passengers should be more concerned about a tandem instructor's alcohol consumption prior to jump or what their mental attitude is. My mental attitude is now very positive (oh, how I hate that pun!) - OK - it's GREAT!! I am being careful with my passengers and still not taking any unnecessary chances with anyone. I sincerely want to thank message friends from threads ...Part1 and ...Part2 (nbblood, ripple, vallerina, dmbale / freakyrat, Keith, weakmindedfool - gonna jump with you one of these days - I promise!!) Since my circle of friends that I can share with this is fairly small, I have to share it with you guys. Just got my results from my second blood test (will be getting one every 3 months) Tcells (good guys) UP from 385 to 435. Viral load (OHHHH bad!) DOWN from 14700 to 5190!!!!!!! AND to top things off, chlosterol and tri's DOWN to nornal levels. Looks like I'm gonna make it for another month. ” Also now want to add in a big thank you to all my new buds that I have been communicating with on this subject. Thanks for all the support in interest. For one of you in particular – last time you told me your numbers they ere fantastic – don’t know how you’re doing it, but whatever you’re doing it’s working!!! But now it’s time for a general update. This has actually been a pretty stressful year for me – lots of personal upheavals and problems in general. I have been trying to keep stress levels down and the attitude up but it hasn’t been easy. First of all, I am still jumping and doing tandems and still loving it, and have definitely decided to continue doing both. TEST RESULTS: The good numbers started to decline and the bad numbers started to go back up for the august and novermber blood tests. In March the T-cells were down to 290 and viral load was 12000. My doctor said to come back in 6 months for a recheck. Well, went in early Sept. and she said that it looked like I was in a downward spiral and that it was time to start meds. Had a vacation coming up and decided to start them when I returned home. I knew that they would be starting eventually, but didn’t expect it so soon. It wasn’t easy to put on that happy face when the whole mindset is in a complete and utter depression. At least by delaying the meds for two weeks, my vacation wasn’t ruined. Started taking them the day I returned and was sick for the next two weeks – headaches, nausea, cramps, diarrhea, couldn’t sleep, extremely vivid dreams. One kind of pill in the morning and afternoon and the other kind of pill just before going to bed. It’s been a little over a month now and most of the side effects are mostly gone except for the sleeping problems. I cut back on jumping when I was feeling bad, but now back at it and still doing tandems. I took another blood test on Oct 27th – about a month after starting the meds. Got the results back a week later (usually a 2 and half week wait). T-cells up from 290 to 315 and viral load down from 12000 to 400. That is getting down into the ‘non-detectable ‘ range. Believe me when I say that I sat down and cried for awhile. Just wanted to give all of you an update and to let you know that I am still doing tandems, loving it – and so are my passengers. As a little side note – I finally broke down and told my regular doctor about the HIV thing last summer when she prescribed some antibiotics for me - and she just looked at me with a non-concerned look on her face and said “You do know that HIV is just considered to be a chronic condition these days – don’t you? You are more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, or old age before you die from that!” How times are changing. Take care out there and be safe. Aliveboy2004 [:)

I took my first name of Deadboy 2004 when I found out I was HIV positive and was extremely depressed. After talking with several good folks on this site, I decided to switch it over to Aliveboy 2004. I've got a lot better attitude now. play safe out there......

maybe someone already said this - if so - sorry I'm repeating it. why not just jump without a rig and hold a mirror up to your face?
