  1. Not sure if you caught this but I will only be in the house with her for about a year and a half then build on the same property as hers but a couple hundred yards away. We are still looking into the legality of building 2 houses on 1 lot, and if you have to devide it up to make it 2 lots or what. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

  2. I will be moving about 200 yards behind her house and building my own house, so while she is still alive I will be there to take care of the house, yard and her. Once she is gone the front house will be mine to rent or tear down. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,
  3. I don't see her doing any kind of dating for the 1.5 yrs we will be in the house, and once we are moved to our new house I don't mind what she does dad was an ass and she deserves better Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,
  4. So my mom and dad just got divorced, and my mom ended up with about 4 acres of land and a +-2200sqft home. My wife, I, and our daughter get along great with her. The thing is mom is not old, but she plans to keep the home, and 4 acres of cutting grass, cleaning up, and maintaining and older home is nothing up her alley, although up to this point she has been a trooper! At some point she is not going to be able to do all these things by herself, nor should she. My wife and it make out pretty well so this is not something we HAVE to do, just an opportunity, and we are looking to upgrade from our second starter home in a few years. Mom has been throwing it out there that we sell our home, move in with her for a year or so while saving up, and paying off our 2 vehicles, then build a really nice home on the back of the property. This will allow us to get our dream home so to speak, I will be on the property to keep up the place and watch over her, the family will be closer, it is still within the same good school district, and in a pretty quiet area on the edge of the city limits. The few things my wife and I are thinking is moms house will need some improvements like insulation in the attic(easy), bathrooms redone($)and other updates before we will feel comfortable adding 3 more people to the home, which these updates really needs to be done anyways. The lack of privacy might be something, we have come accustomed to walking bare assed to the laundry room to get things, etc. We dont fight, so that wont be a big privacy issue, and the bedrooms will be remote so sex noise is not one either. My mom AND my wife are pushing this, which is about 99% odd that a mother and daughter in law get along this well. We hang out with my mom and socialize more than anyone we know Here are a rundown of the pros and cons PROS Save mortgage money Pay off our two almost new vehicles fast Half the utility cost Mom will love to babysit so the wife and I will have a date nite Mom can help out with cooking meals I can keep up the yard for her I gain an enclosed huge shop, and 2 outside covered concreted sheds More room for daughter to play in a country atmosphere Still in the same school district Can watch over mom as she gets older We can save up and build our dream home on the back of the property putting all the money into the home without sinking money into a lot like when you usually buy a home. CONS Lack of privacy Will need to commit to selling our home and be there for a year to year half while the other house is being built Only about 10 minutes more of a drive to work Going through the hassle of selling a home THINGS we will have to do to make this happen Insulate moms house Move my dogs and cats to her yard( not in house) no problem Paint our house fix yard landscaping etc to sell our home Put ALOT of stuff into storage Do the updates probbaly around 20k into moms house Any of you been in a similar situation, or have any guidance?

  9. The tandem gear is usually comfortable for most, but it is made to fit all kinds of body types, the same with your student gear you will be using on AFF. The great news is that custom sport gear is made to fit your body and feels great! Just gotta suffer through this a bit. As far as the nausea, it could be a few things, mostly the adrenaline rush, you might have been so busy getting ready and being excited that you forgot to hydrate properly and might have not eaten, or just ate right before you went up. Its a real sensory overload at first. Welcome to the sky keep it up its a blast, be safe
  10. I owe you an apology I was unaware of an actual list until tonight i was under the impression when you would comment saying you were adding it to my "list" you were being sarcastic. After looking at it I believe it is unbiased and done well. I agree with the cause just thought you were being an arsehole lol. Once again I apologize thanks for what you and your contacts are doing. :) Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,
  11. I agree, it's probably just the internet, and there being no true way to visibly and audibly hear and see the way people feel and talk about a subject, but sometimes it feels like were in the speakers corner when one person is always coming out with such strong feelings against one subject all over the place. Its hard to tell if they really care and are just passionate about a topic(which is a great one), or they are just being a sky god trying to down the ones with less jumpers(which again is warranted in this case) While at a scene I have been taught and go through risk analysis that could help explain to people whats going on with the camera issue. 1. Identify the hazard? Could be snag, or inattentiveness to the skydive etc 2. What is the probability/frequency this will occur? Occasional on every jump 3. What would the potential outcome be? Loss of awareness, issues with EP, etc. etc. 4. What harm/damage would occur and its severity? Serious to catastrophic 5. Can this be managed or prevented? Yes proper experience, gear, training, currency, etc 6. Analise the risk act and reevaluate frequently By looking at this there is a chance it could happen on any jump, the outcome could be severe, the only way to MITIGATE(not eliminate) would to follow step 5, if you cant(low numbers, sketchy gear, not current) it could kill you, so DON'T DO IT. How does that look to you guys? Mike and I are coming out for my birthday on 24 july hopefully this tropical weather crap will be long gone. See you then Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

  12. If the person died in a car accident then yes a cell phone on the floor might not show directly what happened. Not all car wrecks, and thankfully all camera incidents end in a fatality, in which case we can question the jumper or jumpers and review what happened. God forbid even in a fatality just like checking the cell phone record to see if the phone was in use at the time, we can review the footage, which might clearly show the camera had no play whatsoever in the incident. If a riser breaking near the line attachments or some other gear failure on rented gear at parts they could not do a gear check on, or someone violating the jumpers airspace and hitting them in freefall, and If they do their eps fine, or recover from the mid air strike without incident would you put them in their list? If video evidence or the own jumpers words show they stumbled through their EP like that one guy did in removing his helmet before cutaway, or they were trying to get video of the guy that hit them before getting stable again, then fine put them on your list. I don't want to get in any big thing with you, i'm in on your cause, just want good numbers to back it up.

  14. Searched "extreme weather conditions weather channel" and found no posts, so I hope it is not been posted before. They had a pretty cool 21 min segment on the weather channel showing some cool stuff from Arizona. Saw some familiar and well known people on there. http://www.weather.com/outlook/videos/full-episode-skydiving-in-arizona-10256#10256 Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

  15. Are you ruling out the fact that.. A: Shit does happen, and has always been happening to these jumpers in the 1-200 jump range regardless of a camera? B: The camera played a direct role in what happened and would absolutely not have happened if the camera was not present? Just because a teen gets in a car wreck does not mean a cell phone caused ALL the wrecks happening to teens because one just happened to be in the car at that time, teens have been getting in car wrecks for years.....BUT factors in some no argument there I'm not pushing for anyone jumping a camera before 200. I just know you seem to be heading the torch and pitchfork mob. Just wondering how you are analyzing things and if you are padding the "incident list" because you feel so strongly about the subject. Just don't want everyone who gets a stubbed toe, or anything that could have happened to anyone getting on your "camera list" when it would have happened to anyone regardless if a camera was strapped to their head or not. I'm all for safety(part of my job in the fire service) and don't want to see ANYONE on ANY "list", so I agree with the cause, but would hate to see fake inflated reports.

  20. I live by the coast, and I have not seen a person with their hand out, or crying about their lost heritage and jobs. You gotta remember the media are attention whores, and probably spent millions to find that first bird covered in oil, and every person that fits the bill to stand in front of the camera and put on a good show Same reason tornadoes are magnetically attracted to trailer parks, the media knows where they can find a show....

Useful load at 1:1 ratio 360LBS I have almost 100 jumps on them. Only limitation is its not FF friendly, but majority of student gear is not anyways.
