  2. I am terrible at it. I can't seem to get it right. And I'm sick of the rejection, so I don't even try any more (doesn't mean I don't want to hook up, just don't even try...). Which is why, you see, I am typing this on a saturday night..... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

    I soloed

    YAY for you, Rhonda! Was it tons o' fun? I've never done that... (O.K., I'm a dork. I read that as solo-ing from a 182....not solo-ing IN a 152...and so, because of that, I have to change my original response...) Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  4. Hey, Prof... If I can be so bold as to answer for someone else, methinks it's possibly because he was reading all the responses before he decided to write one himself. It wasn't meant for you... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  5. I haven't gotten my first rig together yet....I keep trying to think of things to sell, but there's nothing..... I did get a killer deal on my main, though...$700 bucks for a Spectre w/ 203 jumps on it, DOM 2000. Now to get the rest of the things...

  11. Hi, Chris the Weatherman not Muenkel..... I checked your profile, and you registered what, this morning? And you've already posted something like 40 messages (and two polls)? Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but that seems a bit much, imho... Here's some things which the head honcho here has suggested as a general policy... Also, just so you know, private messages are just that: private. They are not meant to be public, and should not be made so. It shows that you are unable to keep private that which was sent to you in confidence. I don't think you want that kind of reputation...and before you jump on me, understand that I have received some significantly rude pm's, and have kept them private...and Sangiro, the HH, tends to look unfoavorably on publishing pm's for public consumption.... The personality you're tussling with is someone who has been around for a long time. He has his opinions, as do you. Please have some respect for those, if you wish respect to be shown to you. You may want to consider deleting your original post, perhaps... And lastly, the moderators are out jumping and creating a world record today...otherwise, I believe the other thread would have been locked. Please show some respect to them, if to no-one else, and not create the need for locking. And I hope your wrist heals up quickly, and that you remember to PLF next time - that'll save your neck (I know this - I have become a great PLF'er!!! LOL!!!)

  12. Hey, Lisa? Have I mentioned how proud I am of you? How inspired I am by you? Have I told you how much you fucking RAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? Consider it said. And that goes for the whole JFTC Ladies in Pink! RAWK ON!!!!!!!!!! KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!! TAKE NAMES!!!!!!!!! YEHAW!!!!!!!! SET THE RECORD!!!!!!![/I] (that was supposed to be pink, but I can't figure out how to do it!) Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  13. Karma. You just can't avoid it. LOL! Ciels - Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  14. Right you are, Andrea....he is a warmer (y'know, the kind which would warm the cockles of your, ahem, heart....). He's got such a smile, I can see it all the way here in Burbank!!!!! As for that white thingy, I haven't got a foggy notion. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  15. Throwing in my .02.... When I was spinning around, watching the ground, realizing that there was no way this canopy was gonna land me safely, if a voice came into my ear, I think I would have hesitated, trying to figure out what the voice was saying. Another thought...when you're that overloaded with adrenaline, you may NOT be able to hear anything, even if the radios work well. And still another thought...my JM saw me, and thought I was just pushing my canopy...until I cut away. He didn't realize anything was wrong until he saw my main sailing away. And I am the one hanging under that canopy. Me. No one else. The closest anyone else was to me at that point was farrrrrr away, and my JM wasn't even on the ground yet. I am the only one who can make the correct decision - square, steerable, stable...No? Kay, red then silver. Yes? Fly it on home. My JM did a great job getting down in a hurry and talking to me and calming me down once he saw my canopy change colors...but it took a little bit before he got in my ear. I don't think students should EVER rely on someone telling them to cut away. It is our responsibility to check that canopy out and make sure it works right. If the JM can safely get down and safely give us further instruction in the case of an emergency, fine, but students MUST NEVER rely on someone telling them to cut away - some mals aren't obvious on the ground, and some may be misconstrued as fun under canopy... Like I said, just my .02, based on cutaway #1 on AFF #3... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  16. Um, yeah, but can you match my fall rate? LOL.... Actually, I've tried 2 6ways now, and while I am still terrified of them, I will do it again and again until there are actually 6 whole people there.... I'm trying everything I can to be there, kids...but won't know for sure for a while. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  17. ??????????????? I had the same question. And btw, your subliminal message doesn't work unless it's actually visible, and/or audible.... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  18. Perhaps you should check right now? There are 70 users, not counting those invisible, and over 300 guests.... Makes it 370 people right now. Damn. That's a lot... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  19. You guys are amazing... I don't know what to say now. Thank you, thank you, thank you! and... Thank you from the bottom of my heart....thank you. Ciels and hugs- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  20. All good things and vibes and hugs to you! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  21. I was released for adoption at birth, and never knew my birth parents. When I was 25, I decided it was time to see if I could locate them - not because I wanted a second set of parents (one was plenty, thank you very much), but because I was really curious. Long story short, I found my birth mother, and found my birth father's grave. My birthmother and I got along for a while, and I met my older sister and half brother, as well as my younger sister, and learned about the twins who'd died at birth (they would also have been my younger "full" sisters). Found their graves as well. Last time I saw my older sister, she was asked to leave my house. Last tiem I saw my birthmother, she was being looked for by the Orange County Sheriffs and Federal Marshalls. I know they finally found her, because they kept calling me to pass messages along, so I just told them where they could find her. I mean, I had no idea what it was about, and hoenstly didn't want to be involved. The entire family was very dysfunctional, and I just couldn't deal with it, so I haven't talked to them in about 8 years. And honestly, haven't got any plans to do so. So yeah, I guess you could say I've lost track of a parent, but then again, I wasn't trying too hard to keep her in sight, either.

  22. Lummy? I'm older than you. Show a little respect, hmmm? And tell Finola and Viola gossiping is nasty, and not what adults do. Keith, my darling! I wanna sit in your lap again, o.k.? I really need a hug! Or twelve! Just to have someone's arms around me, telling me I'll be alright would be good. Mujie, hon, I dunno - I'm no-one's kinda hero.....maybe you should reconsider? But thanks for the compliment.... Nathan, here's my ass posting for you: klsdm,sdm,sdklmsdkl Now, about the silence. Some of you know part of what's been going on, some don't. This is not the place to go into hurt and whatnot, but suffice it to say my heart's been tweaked - and when I am hurt, I retreat. Add to a very rough break up the following list of recent events: a friend's suicide, my depression reasserting itself, being thoroughly frightened about jumping now, serious financial issues (for the first time, I had to borrow $$ to pay rent...makes me feel really good about myself...), my oldest cat very very sick and likely dying, insomnia, my doctor wanting to cut open my eye again, being lonely, and general all around total self-esteem problems and zero confidence in myself (fat, old, ugly, stupid, blah blah yada yada) and there you have an explanation of my silence. There are things which shouldn't be gone into here, but it has made me shy of posting, and of putting it out there any more - either about jumping or anything else. Now is a really rough time in my world, and while I have wanted to ask for support, comfort and consolation, I have been hesitant about it for a number of reasons, and fear of rejection. So I sit in the dark, lost, alone, cold, and crying. Oh well. (I just read this over, and it comes across very angry. I don't intend it to be - I am really defensive right now, and very sensitive. That will take time to get through, I suppose. I'm sorry that I am sounding so bitter. I just don't know a different way to say it.) Thanks to all of you who e-mailed me to tell me about this thread - I do very much appreciate it. And if anyone has a spare hug to send my way, I'd appreciate that, too. A lot.

  23. Have they repacked all the reserves, I wonder? Seems like it would be time consumptive but important to determine if the saboteur had access to the reserves. I wonder what kind of person would do such a gawdawful thing? Ciels and Pinks- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

    Toy review

    Hi, Andi! What a cool article! Seems like these "toys" face similar problems as the rest of us...streamers, accuracy, broken lines... Um, is this the first time he's been, well, "published"? He owes you a case of (root)beer, methinks.... Ciels and Pinks- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
