Fair enough, point taken However, in order to get their minds off it, why not just start with in-flight movies, beverages and stuff...

Geez, Clay. What did you bring that up for? You just couldn't resist could you... And five hundred entirely naked women dropped out of the sky on parachutes. -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Been there, had that. The closer we came to jump run, the scarier it got. Then seeing the experienced jumpers go out, I used to think "Hell, I may have travelled 9,000 miles for this, but this is definately gonna be my last jump, this is so not for me" But then, when the time came for me to get into position, the fears went right out the door before I got out myself. And once I got past the level 6/7/8 stage (about 15 jumps or so) I no longer freaked out in the plane any more. Right now I can sit next to an open door no problem. Back when I still suffered from door fear I noticed something interesting. For some reason I was usually the first student to go out and I always hoped that we would do a go-around. I guess a go-around gave me some time to put my mind at ease somewhat. Final note: one may slightly suffer from door fear again the first (couple of) jump(s) after a long lay-off. Being current helps against door fear. And five hundred entirely naked women dropped out of the sky on parachutes. -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Yeah, I've been thinking about this too, and asking questions. The problem is that FF in an RW suit seems to be difficult (particularly with booties) and vice versa. One option is to get a FS suit for now and get a FF suit later. Another possibility is getting a FF suit with grippers but I'm not sure if the increased drag makes it suitable for FS. It would be really nice if there were some sort of "suit set" i.e. you can buy several (matching) pants and jackets. As long as you keep a note of your measurements and colors, it should be easy to order new jackets and/or pants on the fly as you venture into new disciplines. With the Multi Suit (by Tony Suits) there's a beginning, but there's still a lot of work to be done in that area.

True. But the damage they can do is much more limited. Yep. But viruses grow too big if they have to carry an exploit with them... Granted, every OS has holes but my point is that UN*X's vulnerability to viruses is much less than Windoze's.

I just don't think that kind of life is fair to an animal that craves interaction like dogs do... I think you're spot on there, Lisa. I know of some people who keep a big shepherd. Occasionally, they let him into the living room or the back garden, but it spends most of the day in a small hallway not larger than a couple of square metres. Needless to say the poor thing can barely turn around. Everytime I see it, it breaks my heart To the OP: I can understand that you'd love to get a dog. They can make great pets. But given your current situation I recommend against getting one. In the end of course it's your call but I think it's just plain cruel to keep a dog in a small place and leave it alone most of the day. If you're desperate for a pet, I suggest you try something less demanding: e.g. a cat or a hamster (or similar rodent) or something. Or, if "cuddlity" (what's the proper word???) isn't your main concern, an aquarium with tropical fish. If you fancy something less conventional, try spiders, lizards or snakes. In fact, snakes make great pets. They don't need hugging or training and most species can go for weeks without needing to be fed. And chances are very rare that someone will be allergic to them Hint: if you go for the aquarium, think twice before putting different species together. Cannibalism is very common among fish and amphibians such as frogs and turtles, so mixing can be a very delicate thing

Yeah, they're called Chihuawa or something (you'll have to forgive me the spelling on this one). And five hundred entirely naked women dropped out of the sky on parachutes. -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

On my first SL jump, I picked the wrong ditch for a reference, so I ended up landing a couple of fields further downwind. I estimate it must have been about half a mile or so. The worst thing, though, was that the fields at Teuge (which is where it happened) are surrounded by ditches and that these ditches are immediately bordered with barbed wire so you can't jump over them easily. Which means I had to disconnect my main, get out of the harness, step into the water, lift the gear across the ditch piece by piece, then climb out, hike across the field to the next ditch, repeat the entire process etc. Needless to say I was soaking wet by the time I finally made it back to the DZ. On the upside: I kept the chute dry And five hundred entirely naked women dropped out of the sky on parachutes. -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I agree. A great book indeed. As is that other book he wrote (no, not the Lectures) but of which I unfortunately can't seem to remember the title.
