I agree with Eric too, to a point, but I now know if I ever land in a tree not to tell him. "Jessica, how did you break your leg?" "Ummmmm Tonya Harding." Seriously, if I know I'm going to get berated that badly, I'm not going to share with the class, and that could keep someone else from learning from my error. But then, I'm sensitive and fragile.

I've always been very attracted to intelligence. But then, tastes change. Skydiving is for cool people only

I wouldn't hurt myself or anyone else. Unless they were WildBlue or PLFKing. Anyway, haven't you seen Austin Powers? $1 million is a laughably small amount. Skydiving is for cool people only

Gasp! Well, you are the devil herself for honoring a prior committment when I'm going to be in Ohio! Wait, no, that's WB. Har! I just went back to brunette and my co-workers all think I'm a redhead who made a horrible choice in hair color. Skydiving is for cool people only

How physically strong do you have to be for rigging? I was talking to a rigger this weekend about it and he said, "Rigging is hard physical work," then looked me up and down skeptically. Was he calling me a wuss? Should I beat him up? My real question: If you break a sweat closing the container for a main repack, should you forget about trying to pack reserves? I've seen some pretty tiny riggers, but for all I know they can bench press a cow. Skydiving is for cool people only

What would you do if you were forced to upsize by 100sq feet.
Jessica replied to rhino's topic in The Bonfire
That's what I'd do, too. This is like two separate questions -- for most of those of us with nonaggressive wingloadings, going up by 100 square feet would put us under ridiculously big canopies. For most of those with 2:1 or higher loadings, adding 100 square feet would still put them under a reasonably sized parachute. If I were jumping a 270, I'd start telecommuting to work from under canopy. Skydiving is for cool people only -
I asked the same question in this thread: www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=207696;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread It seems really dumb to me, but what do I know. Skydiving is for cool people only

0:2:0 Drove to the dropzone on Saturday morning and managed to make 2 jumps -- a hop n pop and funneled 9-way -- before I had to leave for a craptacular night at work. Drove to the dropzone on Sunday morning in time to hear about the awesome party I'd missed the night before, and sat around for hours watching the 35 mph gusts whip the wind blades around. Left there for work at about 1 p.m. I'm getting mighty sick of this shit. I'm going to quit my job and work at PetsMart. Skydiving is for cool people only

Why don't you come over here and call me that. Yeah, I'm talking to you, [extremely gender-specific expletive]. You don't want to piss me off. I'll fuck you up. Wow! I get kind of irate when I don't get to jump! Skydiving is for cool people only

Story of my life, too. Gusting to 35 mph. Expletive. Skydiving is for cool people only

I assumed he was a packer or something.... Anyway, just be sweet to him just like you are to everyone else, and don't sweat it. It's like when dating someone you work with gets awkward. The situation is only as hellacious as you allow it to get. DON'T gossip about him or what y'all did together -- that means no more asking for reports on what kind of guy he is from the other women on the dz. Skydiving is for cool people only

Yes, very well done. Skydiving is for cool people only

OMG I am not associated with the bestowing of yuppie numbers. Talk to rgoper. Skydiving is for cool people only

No, you need what I need...to win the lottery. Too bad I don't play. www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=203307;search_string=yuppie;#203307 I don't actually have a yuppie number...but if I did, this is what I'd like it to be. Skydiving is for cool people only

No, you can not. The only one of those I've ever read all the way through was about a new line of Godiva chocolates. 80 percent. Luckily, I like to read.

I did this, too, but managed to finish out my lease. I'm much happier, no longer consumed with resentment on the first of every month. Well, not as much. Skydiving is for cool people only

I'm the night national/international wire editor for a metropolitan daily. An oversimplification: I monitor the news services and decide what's going in the paper. (For those keeping up: Yes, my job description has changed.) I like it sometimes, but I absolutely loathe the hours. It's "good experience" though. Skydiving is for cool people only

I work every weekend afternoon/evening. It's crap! I jumped twice this morning but stayed too late at the dz (natch) so drove like a bat out of hell straight to work in my skydiving t-shirt and cutoffs (luckily I had jeans in the car) and slid into the news meeting only three minutes late but with freefall hair in the shape of an afro. Put your money on a repeat tomorrow. Oh, and welcome to dz.com.
