I leave my heat set at 60 all the time - I've turned it up to 65 once or twice for a couple of hours when I was trying to do homework and my fingers were too cold to type. If I'm gone more than a day or two I turn it off completely. I'm on the top floor of my apartment building though, so I get some heat from my neighbor and those on the floor below me.

When I was about 10 I got myself locked into the trunk of a car with my best friend because she swore she knew how to get out. We did finally get out (probably only took 5-10 min., but it felt like forever!) and never tried it again.

I'm thinking about volunteering for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the program as a "big" or "little"?

I think it's ok if cars are automatic, but there's something weird about pickup trucks that are automatic.

Ordered mine last weekend - now I just have to find something to put into it!

When to buy and when to rent?
AllisonH replied to Kritterchef's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm having the exact same problem - I'm 5'3", 110 and none of the student/rental gear ever seems to fit. The people at Tecumseh were nice enough to repack a smaller rental rig for me, but I'm looking for something to buy. I've run across a few Javelin J1 A-14s that I think will fit both me and a 170 canopy, but I'm pretty sure I want a PD 160 reserve... I found Wings containers 35% off through the 15th and I'm considering just ordering a new one because I'm so tired of looking. I've read a couple of places (including here) that Wings tend to be a little shorter, which would be really nice. Although, after making a bunch of jumps on 260/230 student gear, just about anything will be an improvement fit-wise. -
I agree, it totally depends on the student. I tutored a couple of college students in Trig - one I dreaded meeting every week because she didn't care and was just trying to get through, the other really tried and was so excited when she learned something or did well on a test, and it was great.

Ooh, I love that movie!! Odd combination of purchases though...

That depends on who's asking... I don't deny the risks, but I do mention the equipment available to minimize the risks. If it's my mother, I also mention the cost of such equipment, which sometimes prompts her to send me a check :-)
