  1. Of course, your next planned trip to the states will be to Virginia so that you can jump with your Mum, correct? What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  2. I'm kind of puzzled by this.... we're skydivers. We throw ourselves out of airplanes, and that's what we spend our disposable income on. Or is everyone here using debt to fund their jumping? Maybe it's a male/female thing. Of course, we'd spend it on skydiving. But people who don't have disposable income skydive by packing parachutes or becoming instructors and getting paid to do it. What I'm asking for is details. Would you buy extra equipment, what kind? Would you join a team to compete? Would you make regular trips to the wind tunnel? Would you go to more boogies and pay for your friends to come with you? How would you spend the money in skydiving if you had more of it? Does that help?
  3. And do you guys really only get 2 weeks vacation a year? Quote I've worked at my day job for 24 years. We only received two weeks of vacation a year until last September. Anyone with five years of service was increased to three weeks a year at that time. It was never an issue before I started skydiving. I had never been on more than three commercial flights before then. My weekend job, that I've done for 11 years, doesn't have any vacation at all since it's only part time.

  4. ALL income is disposable...isn't it? Am I missing something? Some people like to let it sit in the bank so that the nursing home will get it in the end.
  5. Depression... at least much less often nowadays...
  6. You've never been to Eloy! What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  7. I'm confused... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  8. Oooooooh!!!... That's how that works... When my ship comes in I'll have a sweety... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  9. I visit the state of confusion at lot... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  10. gotten better with age? Quote Nope, I've always been a "good girl." In fact, some say that I'm getting "badder" with age. At least my ass is... Growing old is not for sissies... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  11. Give it to me. I know what to do with it. Quote Oh, I'm not quite there yet... But if things keep going along as they are now, I can see being in that position within ten years... It's an odd thought to have "enough" after spending a lifetime of struggle. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  12. Yeah, I should have stated that you only have two weeks of vacation a year too. Makes me wonder why people work so much... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  13. You could do that with the lottery... If you stopped working, you would run out of money... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  14. Is the left over money enough to pay the taxes? I mean, it's a stretch to suggest it would be, but since we're in "hypothetical land..." Hey, we're pretending here... The taxes are paid too. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  15. I'm not talking about the lottery here... You are debt free, have every kind of insurance needed, a fully-funded retirement account, and there is still some money left over from your earnings. What would you do with it? What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  16. I had a 20" tall beagle that had wander lust so badly that she would ignore a shock collar that had double prongs, no delay, maximum shock... She would ignore this while climbing a four-foot chain link fence. Her neck would be hairless and oozing from the damage that the shocks would do to her. I had to end up staking her in order to contain her. She managed to escape from that several times too. What made this especially difficult was the fact that she was considered unadoptable by Beagle Rescue because of a seizure disorder she had. If I couldn't contain her, she was a goner. All of my neighbors were trained in doggy retrieval. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  17. Gosh... and to add insult to injury you have to 'temper' your outrage around the daughter. After all, she is the girl's mother. I hope it gives you comfort knowing that your daughter has a wonderful home with you that she wouldn't otherwise have living with the Bio. Mom. You need to go jump out of an airplane... repeatedly! That always seems to cure what ails me.
  18. I was told it's pie for 100, 500, 1000 and every thousand thereafter. Same here. But you don't know when you are going to get it. The only rule is you have to be out of your gear. And there is no statute of limitations. It may come that day, or weeks/months later. Its fun watching a to be pied jumper being nervous waiting but not knowing when they will be pied. At Orange the 500th is optional. I hope they don't pie me for mine. I tried to get out of it for my 100th by meeting that milestone at West Point. I convinced the people there that Orange would take care of it. Since it was still fairly cold in March, they let me slide. I didn't mention it at Orange, but my head was on a swivel for 64 more jumps before they finally got me. I knew it was coming. After my jump I went to the bathroom and changed into a shirt that I didn't care about. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  19. The last thing I wanted tonight was a deep-tissue massage. The combat bigways on Saturday left my muscles sore! Just because I had a six-inch long, three inch wide bruise with three blood blisters on my forearm and a three-inch long, two-inch wide bruise on my bicep, she wouldn't touch my arms at all... And she shorted by hour because of it. I gave her a $16 tip and the website address for my DZ. That's 20 percent and the opportunity to have an unforgetable experience. That's enough...

  20. Confucious say: "One who has happy ending with stranger, has new friend." Yeah, and Confucious was a man... go figure... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  21. You know... they gave me the choice of a male or a female. I chose the female. I ain't interested in a "happy ending" from a stranger. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  22. My company just started an employee benefit of a health club membership. One of the things that is included is a free massage the first time we use the spa services. Their usual fee is $80. I'm sore after jumping this weekend so I scheduled it for tonight. What would be an appropriate tip to leave the masseuse? What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  23. Absolutely no beer offense here. I've broken fingernails before... What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  24. It’s my mantra when I start thinking about the lackanookie for the last 15 years... 1 month... 8 days... 13 hours... 27 minutes... 33 seconds… 34 seconds… 35 seconds… 36 seconds… You get the idea… Yes, I read the signature lines and often wonder about them. Thanks for starting this thread. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
  25. I don't post very often ... I lurk. JENNR8R, Mouth, Jumpjunkie, Weegegirl and Wildcard can vouch for me (I hope)! Well, I can vouch for the fact that your name is not Erin. Where'd that one come from??? What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.
