  1. So have you met Scratch and the Crazy One yet? Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  2. Damn! I'm gonna miss you by a few days. But the best part is, I'm moving to Swakop. So next time you're there, I'll be sure to meet you. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  3. As die brein dom is moet die lyf maar bloei. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  4. Just my 2 cents worth. I have 2 friends who tried to commit suicide. One cut her wrists and the other had the gun to her head when I called her (I didn't knew this at the time). Both these women have had extremely hard lives. The one was going through a very messy divorce, without any support from her family and the other has an illness which requires chemotherapy. If they had sucseeded (sp?) in taking their own lives, I would've lost two of my most amazing friends, but I would've tried to understand why they did it. Because I knew what had happened in their lives. Luckily, we got through it alive. I can't tell them I know what they feel, because I don't. But I can support them, cry with them, feel angry with them and be silent with them. What I'm trying to say is, who am I to judge them? It was their choice whether they wanted to live or not. I would try and talk a person trying to commit suicide out of it, if I knew what they were planning. But if it happened and they didn't reach out to someone, I wouldn't judge them.

  7. Wasn't shot in the Kruger National park. It was shot in Kenya and somewhere along the coast. I think it was called 'African Fantasies'. And I saw another one called 'Bad Wives'. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  8. I can't remember the name, but it was full of threesomes in the African wild. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  9. Thanx for the link. I already got it from someone else, can't remember who, but it really helps me understand and fly my canopy. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  10. Just my 0.02c worth... When I began looking for new gear (I weigh 58kg, 1.6m) I had a lot of people telling me what I should get. I decided on a 170. One of my JM's/Instructor told me to get a 135. At this point I only had about 30 jumps and didn't feel very comfortable with this choice. I know have about 20 jumps on the 170 and still feel that I'm not flying her, rather that she's flying me. I will downsize to a 150 when I feel that I'm in control of my 170. My point is that the instructor or whatever, isn't always right. I would've made a big mistake buying the 135. And that the jumper should jump what he/she's comfortable with. And if you have a big ego.... OUCH Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  11. My prayers and condolences. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  12. Would you two please shut up? The rest of us are watching. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
  13. *sits down beside Nac to watch* Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"

  18. Does the Parachutist magazine have a web site? We don't get the magazine over here and I have only seen a few very worn out copies of the mag. But I really like the articles and information they provide. Thanx.
  19. :3:0 A couple of friends and I went to another dz for the weekend. While on our way to the dz we hit a bird (no damage to the Kombi), got a flat tyre, then pulled over by traffic cops and ran out of gas 30km from our destination.. Gene Police: "YOU!! Out of the pool, NOW!!!"
