I am TOTALLY a morning person. I usually get up fresh, not early but eager. I am lucky and can work from home alot. So 7:00am in my jammies, on the computer drinking my Starbucks is the most productive time of the day. I get so much accomplished when I don't have the Days Drama's weighing on me. I crash early though. Pass Out Paula, as I'm loving refered to. Blue Skies Fly Your Slot !

I was initially going to say "give it time" but at your skill level, even with the layoff, in 20 jumps, you should know if you're going to be able to adjust and like them. Hey, as I've been told , alot of variables are just mental. If you think you fly better without them, you know better than anyone and you probably do, for whatever reason . If you want them off, take them off. Sew a zipper on em. Incase you change your mind later! Fly Your Slot !

how's that riddle go? Red and Black, won't bite back... Nice! Makes me wanna grab your brand new grippers. Fly Your Slot !

The new port building and digging can't possibly be helping the stabilization of the bay OR the existing Houston Ship Channel. Im saying that there are a lot of things going on around here that are a lot worse for the beach and Bay Area than driving on the waterfront. I guess we haven't had a major oilspill in so long, they ran out of things to be "enviromental" about, and decided now "driving" was bad. They really do not want to make it an easy way to enjoy Family Day on the Beach. They wanted the Port to go to Houston, they didn't care about the money, they don't care about the resort or tourist business. Remember, Small Town, Hate City Folk and could care less if you visit or not, would rather not. We should just annex them. (j/k) Don't even get me started on THAT issue. Fly Your Slot !

So did you know each other before jumping or meet after? I've made a lot of really really good friends, that I would take a vacation to see, drive out of my way , or jump through hoops just to get a hug. What a unique group of people we are! I'll drink a shot to you and your friend Fly Your Slot !

Don't mean to be a synic, but you can have the Media Support, but without a divided inner city government, it's still gonna be a battle. Fly Your Slot !

It was a "new idea" to pump the dredged silk from the channel onto the beach, but Millions of dollars later, we are not in much better shape on the seawall beaches than we were 5 years ago. Good news, they will have more silk to dredge building Bayport. Maybe we can build the beachfront up AGAIN. "Let's just put a Refinary Port in the same harbor with the East Coast's second largest yatch storage area, and about a hundred thousand homes. Although we have Texas City, already dredged and equipped, but wait...that's not in Harris County..." Follow the money.... Fly Your Slot !

I don't think you have a chance in Hell of getting the City of Galveston to budge one inch. They hate "city people" and could really care less what a bunch of Houston residence thought of the way they are handling the beach. If your making this a State issue, you may have a case. Remember legalized gambling (killed by the residence how many times?) Remember the Casino ship that was run off? remember drinking on the seawall that was outlawed ? And to that list, just add driving on the beach. The residence are pure down home, small town , Texas Southern Baptists. Your organization will probably have to sue them, even if they are breaking a Texas Property law by closing the beach off. That might not even work....remember Kingwood? I've been a Harris County Delegate for years, been out of politics for a few now. Let me know if I can help. It's great your getting involved in an issue you really care about. My eyes were really opened by the Bayport Issue. The group can be 100% right on, and still loose the battle. Blue Skies, Paula Fly Your Slot !

Whether you need it or not, here it is anyway. Like I said, it still needs the "orange paint". Fly Your Slot !

Being the Floaty little thing I am, I never usually get placed on the inside of a skydive. Im outside on exit and usually outside on the formations. One skydive last weekend, I was dead center giving the count and the keys. I wasn't worried about the count, but I found myself paying close attention to the grips and position of ALL the jumpers in the door. The exit picture became really clear, like the difference between black and white television and color. I found that since I was keying the skydive to the next point, instead of focusing on the person giving the key, and thinking about my next move, I was watching everyone else. Sitting up a little shoulder high so I could see, and vividly aware of where everyone was and what they were doing. I saw dropped knees and ripples and all kinds of things. Not that I have complete tunnelvision, but on the outside I find myself concentrating on keeping the formation flat and level, thinking of my next move and watching for the key. It was great to feel "awareness". Fly Your Slot !

Ok, freefly festival at my DZ this weekend, and I wonder....What exactly am I gonna do? Oh sure, there will be plenty of RW going on, but all those freaks walkin around...with baggy suits and body piercings and Vodoo's. We have enough on a REGULAR jump day without a Festival going on too. - Gotta love the freefliers, they keep the plane hot, at least. uhhhhggggg Guess I could at least make a tracking dive with em. I may not be able to sitfly, but I can track Fly Your Slot !

Well, it's not my birthday either, but I have broken into the rest of the Crown Royal left over from Happy Hour, so I just wanted to say, Im 29, always have been and that's my story and Im stickin to! Feel like getting a tatoo all of the sudden...hmmmm Fly Your Slot !

A lot of them are very interesting shots. I'd hate to be judging this one. Some of my favorites are the photos by Parasiil , and the Crazymel of of "Brunslandig" I like the lighting and the perspective. Fly Your Slot !

Couchfreaks Boogie organizers bring in two portable showers. They have a Men/Women sign in front of the showers on a "spinning wheel". Everyone that walks by just spins the wheel. By the end of the boogie, you don't know and you don't care which is the mens and which is the womens (you just wanna take a shower, doesn't matter) . It's an incredibly fun boogie- wild and crazy.

Glad to hear you're being agressive with photos. There are some really really good Videographers out there that never bother or don't want the cost or hassle of submitting photos. (Thank goodness Josh isn't one of those) Good point about the "personality" of the photo. I see where faces and character make better for the eye. Zen, I went back and saw your head and Jumpbubble suit peeking out the door. You look like a kid staking out a candy store. Very Cute! Can't believe Playgirl didn't want you. Fly Your Slot !

Come take a shower next to me at Couchfreaks- or just get me drunk after sunset. Fly Your Slot !
