    I am so proud of you!!! My mom quit about a year ago after nearly 40 years of smoking. I had been praying for at least a decade, every night, that she would quit. Hang in there!! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    Since I thought I would never be an aunt, I just had to share with all of you! He was born Monday, April 16 and was well over 8 lbs. YIKES!!! His name is Kyan Takahiro. Kyan is African and means "little king". The funny thing is my sister is the caucasian parent and her name is "Yemia", her husband is Japanese and his name is "Mark". I guess she was destined to be the mom of an oriental baby. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    I have seen the footage of Greg doing his thing, but I did not know he was attatched to the rig. That explains whey he seemed so calm. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    Ya gotta admit it's better than the scam years ago that went something like this: It was reported that people were planting syringes infected with the AIDS virus in the handles of gas pumps. Are you KIDDING me? One of these days there is going to be an outrageous scam that IS true and no one is going to believe it because of all the bogus crap out there! Good on the OP for trying to get the word out though. Better safe than sorry huh? Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    Well that just induced some interesting mental images. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Well, I'm not surprised Linder Of course you know I meant I don't give or receive. I think it's gross It's like having a playground next to a sewer. It's just wrong! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    I am about to fly commercially for the fist time since becoming a skydiver. All this info. is very useful to me. I knew about the cypres card and all, and have been given some advice from a skydiver friend on how to handle it if the subject of opening my reserve comes up. Hopefully there won't be a problem with it as I am anxious to jump at a dz outside my home state

    I 2nd what you said about having better canopy skills. I also believe my static line training is part of the reason I fell in love with CReW. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    Nope! Makes me barf just thinking about it. And that includes both ways. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    I trained at a small skydiving club with a blue C182. I'm definately familiar with "climb out and hang". Cessnas are the jungle gyms of the sky. Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    Bikes are road vehicles, cars need to pass in the separate lane. ***(conversely, if there is a bike path and the bicyclist can't keep up with traffic, then he needs to get his 2 wheels on the path and off the road.) Quote I'm glad you said that. I'm all for sharing the road and being considerate, but the consideration should go both ways. It's quite obnoxious to be behind a cyclist going soooo slow when the speed limit is 65 mph, and there's plenty of shoulder for them to take advantage of!!

    Yep......that is quite annoying for sure! Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    flushed apple cores down the toilet at my grandparents' house. My grandfather just poured boiling water down the commode and it took care of the problem. That trick has come in handy with my own kids a few times Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    3 wonderful jumps! The grande finale was an awesome CReW jump with Wendy Faulkner and Walt Appel. Walt and I had tried to do CReW earlier and we are just waaaay out of practice. So Wendy came up with us and made it happen. THANKS WENDY!!! She is too awesome. We even got some awesome video of the jump. THANKS DREW!! It was beautiful, and great to actually be doing CReW after a pretty cold winter (for Texas anyway). Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28

    My sis was visiting from CA around the time of my 31st birthday. She was going to buy me a massage for my B-day, but we got on the subject of phobias because I'm very claustrophobic. Anyway, she asked me if I enjoyed roller coasters and I said yes. Then she asked me if I would like skydiving. My reply was "sure, why not?" So guess what she got me for my birthday instead of a massage? I've never received so much out of a birthday gift. It's amazing how one conversation can change your life forever.

    He was good to my kids, but he just had to rub it in that I couldn't jump this weekend. This was the background on their Easter baskets. Oh, and I guess I am a little bit of a tease because I titled this thread the way I did. Sorry if I disappointed some of you.

    "When you know the notes to sing....." I believe one of our greatest skydiving songs came from this movie. The first time I heard Larry Hinson sing it in the plane, I couldn't help but think about the movie. Now everytime I see the movie, I can't help but think about Larry singing in the plane That movie will NEVER be the same.
