I am another one of the people with a fear of heights. If I don't have a rig on or a climbing harness and rope, don't even try to get me close to an exposed edge. I'm not really afraid of any kind of bugs or spiders or anything unless they land on me completely by surprise, then I kind of freak for a second until they are off of me. You come from nothing.

Me, I'm 100% purebred American mutt. As far as I know, there's some irish, scottish, english, german and possibly some other europeans in there. Never done much family research, but I'm pretty sure we are at least fifth generation americans. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Poductivity?? What's that?? I am at work right now as well, and do almost all of my DZ.com surfing here. Every once in a while I actually get some work done, but I try not to do that too often. Don't want to actually raise their expectations. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

You think that's bad? I had a roommate in college that decided to cook some spaghetti at 2:00 in the morning when he was drunk. He put the water on to boil, and put some oil in it to keep the pasta from sticking, then went to watch tv to wait for it to start boiling. We were all awoken at about 3:00 am by the wailing smoke alarm. The guy had passed out, and all the water had boiled out and the oil had started smoking. We had to stand outside in the snow for 30 minutes waiting for campus safety to come reset the alarms. Needless to say he wasn't too popular the next day. You come from nothing.

I heard about this one, not really sure if it works as I never actually tried it. You have to get your hands on some liquid nitrogen (college chem or physics lab should do). Take cans of shaving cream, dip them in the liquid nitrogen, freezing the foam inside the can. Then, with tinsnips, cut the can off the frozen block of foam. Throw the blocks of foam in someones car, I think they said about a dozen should do the trick. When it thaws out it expands a lot, filling the whole car with shaving cream. Supposedly you can even get it over pressurized so that when they open the car it comes flying out. This is best done in winter in a cold area so that the windows frost up and you can't tell that it's in there. It sounds a bit out there to me, but you never know, it could work.

A couple observations on this beaten out topic: 1. I once lived in a house with a bunch of different people, male and female. There was one girl that complained every time we forgot to put the seat down. Then, when I did put the seat down she automatically assumed that I didn't put it up to pee, and she chewed me out for that. Just couldn't win with her. 2. After living in an apartment with 6 guys in college, I can say that walking into a bathroom and seeing the seat up is a relieving site, as it means that at least they did put it up to pee, rather than leaving it down. Now, I put it down whenever I remember, but my fiance never complains when I don't, anyway. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

I just remembered a pertinent quote for this, can't remember who said it but it went something like: "The reasonable man changes himself to fit the world, the unreasonable man changes the world to fit himself, therefore all progress comes from unreasonable men." Something to remember next time someone tells you to be more reasonable. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

My one piece of important advice: Don't make a mad dash for the flag, which is positioned on top of a 6 ft hill, trip at the top of the hill, roll down the back and break your femur. It REALLY sucks. Not to mention the amount of time it cuts out of your skydiving career. Other than that, just be gung ho and have a blast!! You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

I was on a halloween costume idea site and they actually had this entry: You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

What are you supposed to be doing right now instead of reading this?

I should be looking up about 200 security prices online so that when our statements go out all our clients don't think their portfolios are worth nothing (even though they probably are anyway, damn economy). I'd rather be doing just about anything else. Bill You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing! -
This was me until about a week ago. Now I hate it because I got moved to a new group where they actually expect me to do WORK, so I can't spend 6 hours a day on dropzone.com like I used to. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Ok, you all are posting way too many threads for me to keep up with now, so I don't know if anyone else has posted this yet, but if not here may be the answer to some of our pollution and oil dependency problems. Bill

My 21st was a BLAST. I was laid up in my mom's apartment with a broken femur. YIPEEEE!! Made up for it later, though.

More coming your way from SoCal Get well soon Bill

Well, I had a pretty relaxing weekend. Saturday I did absolutely nothing. Sunday I made the stupendously dumb decision to visit a dropzone even though I still can't jump. Headed out to Skydive San Diego. Watched two loads come down and decided I couldn't stand it anymore so I went home. I really need to get back in the air. You come from nothing.

Well, this is a little off topic, but still about religion. When I was in college I always wanted to rally to get an 'atheist day'. This stemmed from the fact that each of the major religions had a holy day that the kids could usually use as an excuse to cut classes, even though the rest of us had to be at class. For example: Christians could take ash wednsday or good friday Jewish kids could take rash hashana (sorry about spelling) Muslim kids could take idul fitri I thought that wasn't really fair to us atheists, so I wanted a free athiest day.

Hey, I'm trying. I eat fatty foods all day long, but the damn pounds just won't pile on. Damn you overzealous metabolism. Bill

Or, you could put that $200 billion into R&D for alternative fuels and just end our dependence on oil altogether. Of course, the big oil companies would NEVER allow that. Just another worthless $0.02 Bill Damn, just a little too slow.

oops, thanks spy. Bill

Here is a pretty good tutorial site. It explains pretty much everything from getting started, to how to actually get your site online. Edit Ok, should work now. Bill

Well, most of mine are already covered. But the daily affirmation I like the most is when I get home from work and my faithful dog is sitting at the window next to the front door waiting. As soon as I open the door he bursts out and bounces all around ecstatic to see me. Nothing like total unconditional love and devotion to pick you up after a crappy day at the office. Bill

Currently I'm somewhere over a year. The first month was hell, and I was irritable for a couple months. Then I settle into a whuffo routine life. I was doing ok until I made the (fortunate) mistake of coming back onto DZ.com Now I read all the posts and remember how much I miss it. The worst part is that I was finally about to get to start jumping again, and now my dog is sick and we are spending so much money on him that I have to put off jumping for a little while longer. Damn priorities!
-
I've got 61 and have been jumping since Feb 1999. This is primarily due to the fact that I am constantly looking like this: due to non-skydiving related idiocy. Bill

Ok, not to make light of possible terrorism or anything, but does anyone else think that this: would make a great excuse for not having your homework in on time? "Really professor, I wrote my report, but the cops blew it up."
