  1. Heart rates are peculiar. They're as individual as you and I, but 180 is definitely NOT normal and can reduce cardiac output if allowed to continue for too long. I'd guess that he is having an episode of Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT). In the field, we treat it immediately with drugs or a 'mild' shock (similar to defibrillation). Many people have SVTs on a regular basis. In and of itself, it's not a big deal. But it does almost always indicate that there will be heart failure later in life. There's not really much that can be done except to monitor and try to manage the problem. There's no 'cure'. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  2. My resume includes "tandem dresser". Responsibilities included making sure no one's "boys" got stuck under a strap. I was VERY GOOD at my job! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  3. Either way, that's not a very comforting expression you're wearing. But then again, I'm probably not your target demographic, either! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  4. Sounds like a great idea, but if my "packing machine" was holding up a piece of closing loop and looking that confused, I'd want a discount! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  5. Good luck Michele. My $5 says he runs away. But I kinda hope he doesn't cuz it'll be an even more awesome story if he decides to jump! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  6. nice pics. i always track with my arms at my sides, but that's a nice "jesus" track you've got! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  7. sounds like you need a new s/o more than you need beer. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  8. For as long as there have been fathers and daughters, suitors have suffered the wrath of angry fathers. You sound like you're the father figure to your stepdaughter, which gives you the right to kick any guy's ass who does her wrong. A 17-year old who wants to mess around with a 14-year old qualifies. Happy ass-kicking! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  9. Often the nicest neighborhoods are the ones with the deserted streets. What does it say about a neighborhood when its residents have nothing to do but stand around on the streets all day? It says to me: prostitution, drugs, or soon-to-be-not-so-innocent-loitering. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

  12. my experience has been that they're separate fuses. since you can get the high-beams on but can't get the lows on, i'd guess that's it. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  13. sounds like a bad fuse In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  14. tomorrow's forecast is low 60s. too cold for jumping? aren't there some out-of-town dz.commers down here visiting? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
  15. my suggestion: Put out a tip jar and collect enough money to buy it (the turbine)! my $.02: Skydive Wichita rocks! Anyone that hasn't been there should definitely go. (Even if all they're flying is the 182 -- a great group of folks) In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

  17. I'm right there with you. The coldest air I ever jumped in was 17. Then I moved to FL. Now I'm freezing when it's 40! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

  22. Florida = little-blue-haired-blind-deaf-and-dumb-ladies all over the road. Can I pay a special tax to get rid of them? In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
