Mine does it sometimes. I lock her in the garage. Letting her sleep on the bed seems to help.

Man, you really asked for it.

Announce "Jump Run!" to your kids as you pull into the school driveway and announce "Exit-exit-exit!" when you stop at the sidewalk to drop them off.

This is a big interest of mine that I hope to pursue once I get more experience. If you are not that concerned about cross-country performance, I think a very large zero-porosity skydiving canopy would be worth a look. If you just want to stay up a long time, all that matters is sink rate, does it not?

Good idea. I just changed my password. How do I get the website to not recognize me and log me in without a password? I've been trying to quit for some time.

she said she was still waiting for her guy in Iraq. Don't be an asshole. Leave her alone.

Please, pass on our gratitude to your father.

I'm 2 jumps away from my license. I still have to pay someone to jump with me. Last Sunday, I paid $89 for a coach jump at a "big city" drop zone. After recovering from the dizziness of the sudden pressure loss in my wallet, here's what I got for my $89: 1) A good solid hour and a half of one-on-one ground instruction with whom I later found out to be one of the best instructors in the sport. She went through the whole dive repeatedly, from the exit to deployment. When we got on the plane, I knew exactly what to do. 2) An additional half hour of video instruction going over the basic theory of body flight. It was really good. The dive was flawless and I learned a lot on that one jump. I almost choked when they told me the jump would cost $89, but in hindsight, I can see that I saved money by doing it. A couple of weeks ago I made a coach dive at my local "small town" DZ and all I had to pay was the coaches slot. We talked about what we were going to do for a couple of minutes and then went up and did it. It was not as productive as the first jump, but it was good and I felt like it was well worth the money. This sport runs on money, and that's OK. When I don't have the extra money, I stay home. When I do, I go jump. It's all good. Ken

You don't sound too bad to me. Keep going.

I'll be sure to. I've got family near there so it should be easy to do.

On my way back to Arkansas from a family visit in Texas today, I stopped in at Skydive Dallas for a coach dive. What a great bunch of people and a great facility. Thanks Mandy for taking so much time with me. It made for a super productive and enjoyable dive. Thanks Ernie and all the other folks that showed me around and made feel right at home. Hope to be back soon. Ken

Looks like it has huge floater bars above the wing.

Does she have a sister?

We've had one for 3 years. We love it.

See you there, Fletch. Can't wait!!!

How much do they cost? Everything

Good for her husband and brother!!

Noticed that they didn't show the cloud busting part of the jump.

Does anyone else like the Carter Family?

Uh, I don't know.. SPROINGGGG!! Arrrrgh!!!

I can go one better: BLUEGRASS!!

Do what I do: Jump when you have money. Don't jump when you don't. My progress has been slow but steady.

WHAT is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow??

*** Demo jump.... Now THAT'S funny!!

Liberal hate on the second response. That's faster than I expected.
