  1. I guess you could say they are hear Three Oaks and Hillside. Almost due west (as the crow flies) from the new high school at the bottom of Walkup. (well, it's new to me since they built it after I left). ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  2. My folks are in Crystal Lake and got a call from McHenry county police 2 1/2 hours ago to stay in their house. My father is now bored and going to sit on the patio. Parents! Anyone in that area know anything? Something about a house in the Carriage Home neighborhood with swat surrounding it. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  3. Yeah, we want to do a refresher course. We will be there on a Monday. Maybe we will stop by Sunday afternoon when we get into town. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  4. If you have spare time, their zoo is nice. It's a rescued animal zoo; they have a one eyed eagle there! We went already certified but no dives other than during draining. We stayed at Turneffe island; what a blast that was! Have a great time! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  5. No, they said we could jump our own gear. And we have jumped this DZ before so not entirely new. I think it is a perfectly reasonable price. Doesn't mean I can't wish it was cheaper. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  6. if it works for you, go for it! we are finally going back and i am psyched! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  7. The trick for us is switching from the other stuff back to skydiving. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  8. I finally called and they said the recurrency course was $20 each and then $75 for the jump. Edited to remove fact that I came across like it was too expensive. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  9. Yeah, I won't be jumping my Vengeance this go around. Not to mention lack of currency and a high performance parachute. No thanks! I definitely am going about it differently this go around. I am older and it's not as easy as skipping a meal. The slowness is normal for what I am doing, but I would love to drop it faster. I don't have the patience for low carb anymore. More power to ya! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  10. I am in. I need to lose about 20 lbs maybe 15 depending on things. I have lost about 6 so far. I MUST lose 15 more before I can jump my Vengeance. So when we go back jumping in July, it'll be me and my Sabre. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  11. Not only funny (the captain crunch thing), but musical too! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  12. Thanks for your reply. I need to know for sure to budget. Slots would be grand!
  13. Sorry. Skydive Chicago. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  14. Indoor kitties they shall stay.
  15. I want to walk my kitties but my hubby says I am nuts. Is it safe to take them out in the backyard on a leash if they have not had their outside shots? ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  16. OMG how many STD's did my laptop just get from that damn site... Ok if anyone was wondering, shotgun wasn't kidding...DO NOT fucking look at that site. Gaddamn I need some fucking clorox to burn that 5 seconds out of my eyes... Thanks for that warning. I will steer clear! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  17. I'm on Yahoo as Rigminder. Beep me I have a question for you. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
  18. Can someone tell me how much a coach jump at SDC would be? Say for the purpose of a recurrency jump? ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?

    Driving Drunk

    Very valid point and I was waiting for this to be brought up. We now have the "hands free only" law and it's an improvement, but you are right in that I still drive different. But cell pones are relatively new compared to drinking and driving. Give it time and it will be completely banned as well. Depends on how bad things get. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?

    Driving Drunk

    I told him that. He says if there were a million blanks he might try it. Now he is trying to tell me jumping from a plane is like playing russian roulette. This could be a long conversation. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?

    Driving Drunk

    I even tried saying "and what if one of YOUR kids got hit by a drurk driver". But his take on it is that so many people do it and the percentage of accidents is probably low compared that it's ok as long as something doesn't happen. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?

    Driving Drunk

    There is a coworker here trying to tell me it's ok to drive drurk as long as you don't kill anyone. Now let me share with you he is a nerd to the tee and has never been drunk. He says he could drive really really careful and it would be ok. I am shocked by this. He says the statics can't be all that bad. He claims there are probably a million people who drive drunk and never hurt anyone. Really though how can they have stats on those whe have driven drunk and never hurt anyone and how many times. I think it is horrible for him to say it's ok as long as nothing happens. I told him you cannot predict the future. *sigh* So he goes and finds this http://www.mises.org/story/2343 *sigh* ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
