Hmm...my PMs must be broken.... Skydiving is for cool people only

I move for immediate adoption of this as the new dropzone.com motto. Skydiving is for cool people only

I hate you on your couch just like I hated you at your desk. Don't worry; I try to remain a rock of stability for you in an ocean of uncertainty. Skydiving is for cool people only

Every time I had a bad breakup with a guy I used to swear to myself that I would turn to lesbianism...but it never took. The bad thing about me and drunk posting is that my grammar remains coherent and so everyone will assume I'm sober. Skydiving is for cool people only

Me either but then after you did I magnified and inspected the nipplage. Skydiving is for cool people only

That's right!!! Skydiving is for cool people only

Well, now I'm wondering if my vision is even bad enough for Lasik. I just barely qualify for a restriction on my driver's license. I function most of the time without the glasses -- only wear them for work or driving. But my eyes get really tired and achey if I forget to wear them. Probably because the good eye is compensating for the crappy one...dunno.... Skydiving is for cool people only

I tried to get it in the paper, but nothing moved on the news wires since Monday! No stories, no photos -- nothing! Skydiving is for cool people only

@#$#@&%@T@FRQEGAkjfdmda-p0rewjtgqv i can't blieveyou just typed that ...I have to crawl under my desk in a fetal position now Skydiving is for cool people only

Ew that pirate only has one eye...GROSS I BET HE HAD LASIK Skydiving is for cool people only

No, I get grossed out and faint when confronted with surgical procedures. I would just want to go in, pay my money, and get it done without anyone ever explaining what just happened to me!!!!!!! I hate my job tonight. Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate. Skydiving is for cool people only

Uh, why not? Skydiving is for cool people only

I forgot my glasses at work tonight -- again. Staring at this screen for 9 hours without them is agony. Should I get lasik? Could I end up blind? How much does it cost? I would only need it in one eye. Ugh. This sucks. Someone sympathize please. Skydiving is for cool people only

That's right! And women who are lonely or in an emotionless relationship need to just suck it up and quit whining! Jeez. Obviously I'm not condoning cheating. Read my post again. I'm just saying that sometimes problems in relationships can be worked through, whereas other times (like maybe in this situation) they're indicative of a serious character flaw, like a willingness to lie and betray.

Here's what the USPA recommends: USPA A-license holders who have not made a freefall skydive within- 1. 60 days: should make at least one solo jump under the direct supervision of a currently rated USPA Instructor until demonstrating altitude awareness, freefall control on all axes, tracking, and canopy skills sufficient for safely jumping in groups 2. 90 days: a. if trained in the static-line or IAD method should make at least one satisfactory static-line or IAD jump with a practice deployment under the direct supervision of an appropriately rated USPA Instructor, and then follow recurrency recommendations for 60 days of inactivity b. if trained in the AFF method, should make at least one jump under the direct supervision of a currently rated AFF Instructor to demonstrate the ability to start and stop turns and maintain altitude awareness and stability during deployment, and then follow recurrency recommendations for 60 days of inactivity Skydiving is for cool people only

Here's some advice from Skydiving magazine. Personally, I think your inclination to leave it packed up until you can get it to a rigger is just fine (unless there's a cypres). Skydiving is for cool people only

Also agreed. My feelings on this have changed as I've gotten older -- one oops is horrible, but may be able to be worked through. This is repeated, premeditated betrayal. Ugh. That said, we DON'T know the whole story, and you shouldn't base your decision on what a few ignorant people on an Internet chat say. Only you know what's going on at home, and what the dynamics are. Good luck. Skydiving is for cool people only

Maybe she's got a face only a mother could love. (Now I need Clay to chime in here about that's why doggie-style was invented. Where is Clay, anyway?) Skydiving is for cool people only

I would put a $500,000 bounty on wildblue's head. Then I'd spend the rest buying that DZ for sale in the bahamas. Skydiving is for cool people only

I would lose 20 lbs and become one of those skinny women on whose intelligence I bitterly cast aspersions. Skydiving is for cool people only

OK, I'll tell mine.... There was this mouthy freeflyer on dropzone.com I PM'd with sometimes. He wanted to come to Texas to jump while it was still cold up in Ohio. I offered him crash space, like I would any other skydiver. Wasn't no way I was getting romantically involved with some 21-year-old Yankee! Anyway, I wasn't even available -- I'd been dating someone I worked with for a couple of weeks. So I went to the airport to pick him up, and waited and waited and didn't see him disembark. I was afraid I'd missed him, so I started wandering around baggage claim looking for him. Then suddenly, I saw this tall, tie-dye-wearin', cute-faced guy, surrounded by luggage and a gear bag, looking around the terminal. "Oh shit," I thought. He was adorable. We didn't touch each other that whole visit, though we were spending every moment together and loving it. Then, on his last day here, we were joking about how I should adopt one of AirAnn's kittens, and he said suddenly, "Well, maybe Bob can help you take care of it." Bob was the guy I was seeing. I got quiet and said, "I haven't thought about Bob in a week." Then on the last jump that day, right before I had to take him to the airport, we did a 10,000-foot kiss pass, aaaaaand the rest is history. Skydiving is for cool people only

Hello Mr. Newbie. Does your name mean you will be graduating from the University of SkyMonkosity in 2004? Welcome! Skydiving is for cool people only

Damn it to the very bowels of hell, doesn't anyone recognize a Calvin & Hobbes reference when they see one? Calvin: I'm never gonna get married. Are you? Hobbes: Hmm...I suppose if the right person came along, I might. Someone with green eyes and a nice laugh, who I could call 'Pooty Pie.' Calvin: POOTY PIE? Hobbes: Or Bitsy Pookums. Calvin: I think that would affect my stomach a lot more than my heart. Hobbes: 'Bitsy pookums' I'd say. 'Yes snoogy woogy,' she'd reply... Skydiving is for cool people only

That mental image is almost as funny as that of you trying to pick up women. Preach it! Congrats, you drunk bastards. We're all damn happy and proud. Skydiving is for cool people only

Neither, really. I'm just being surreal. Though sometimes I do feel an itch that feels rather like an festering apple embedded in my back. I feel more like Joseph K. these days, anyway. Skydiving is for cool people only
