  1. I agree, Zennie. Now you guys have fun breaking that record!!!
  2. you will not be disappointed! What are you putting in it?
  3. The good news is that you probably would have been fine jumping it like it was....that other guy is jumping a tiny Spinnetto, highly loaded, and you've got the lightly loaded skymaster 230. The better news is that you made a really smart choice. Why risk it?? always stay safe, Anne
  4. mine is 1800. Of course i'll chop higher if I can tell there is something seriously wrong, I was just wondering about fighting twists or something not majorly spinning. I'll fight till 1800, then go for silver
  5. I seem to be able to get to mine if I clock on "check e-mail" on the home page, but not from my "my Dropzone.com" page
  6. yeah, if you have a different definition of "jump" than I do, you are 1. on the wrong forum 2. not a true skydivier!!!!!
  7. Dude, what are you WHOOPing about?? You only jumped once!!!!
  8. Ok, now I can. Maybe I'm just stupid!!!
  9. I can't seem to modify my profile.
  10. If the server is in Texas and I am in Missouri, I should not have to ADD FIVE HOURS!!! Aren't we in the same time zone???? I don't really care, just totally curious!
  11. And what do you owe beer for???
  12. Just out of curiousity, what is yours? Do you have a hard and fast altitude?
  13. humps:jumps:cases of beer owed Mine: 0:7:1 (jump #100!!!)
  14. How come my adjusted time used to be +2, now it is +5??
  15. Definite improvement!!! Thanks for all your hard work, HH!!
  16. You know how skydiving accidents are reported as chains, and if any one of the links had been broken, the incident would not have happened?? Here is the chain of why I passed out in the plane, as best as my doctor and I could figure. 1. I drank heavily Friday night, and did not drink water that night or much the next day....possible dehydration. 2. Flu shot Friday 3. Naturally low blood pressure 4. Lower levels of oxygen as plane ascended 5. Being pinned between the right-seat pilot and another skydiver, her rig on my belly, I could not take full breaths. 6. I am anemic (sp?) This one I only know because you guys talked me into going to the doctor. You were right. I ahve been put on Iron pills for two weeks, more tests, then we will see. If any one of those things had not been true at that moment, I may have been fine. I am just glad it happened in th plane!!!! Thank you for encouraging me to take care of myself!!! Blue skies, and safe jumps, Anne
  17. Ok, is this crazy or stupid?? O dropped out of MIT after two years. I was a Chemistry major, and people in my major were making $60,000+ right out of school. I pursued a degree in education, instead. And no, I don't make $60,000 a year. I teach high school freshmen Algebra.
  18. Isn't it great when you find a place like that? Last Saturday I made first load, and was just gonna do a solo, first jump on my own gear in a month...., but I some how ended up on a ten-way. Or at least a planned ten-way. I am not very good, but people just assumed I would join their jump. I love Archway!!!
  19. Did any of you just catch the rendition of God Bless America during the World Serie? An Irish tenor, Ronan Something-or-other, sna g a beautiful, acapella version. Gave me chills!
  20. AHHHH!!!!!!!! I'm gonna have nightmares!!!!!!!
  21. soulds like she was on a power trip playing a little game with your head. That sucks!!!! Stick to skydiving chicks!
  22. HAve we really lowered ourselves to "your mom..." jokes?? (Though that one was pretty funny, I have to admit!!!)
  23. Hi Bill, The hard opening thing sounds reasonable. I have a Sabre that I am just learning how to pack, so I have certainly had several fast hard openings. Greg stitiched it up in like two seconds, no big deal, I was just curious as to whether this would keep happening. I guess if I learn to pack snivels, I should be fine!!
  24. What caused my cutaway cable housing on my risers to need restitching? Just regular wear and tear? My cutaway? Do you think line twists would cause extra tear? Any thoughts?
