I started jumping because the Army made me do it. Airborne school is voluntary but it was really expected of anyone in my job so I decided to suck it down and do it. I am not an adrenaline junky (or should I say wasn't) but I do like to experience new things. I'm actually fairly afraid of heights. Rock climbing scares the bejesus out of me! I wanted to skydive immediately after graduating airborne school but could never find the time or money. 9 years later, out of the military now, my wife buys both of us jumps for our 9th anniversary. I loved the people at the dropzone and the excitement of jumping so much that I kept going back until, bam!, I have my A license. I stay in the sport because I love challenges and this sport offers a tremendous amount of them. I will never be able to master all of the different disciplines. I don't think it will ever get boring. As far as advancements in the sport, I think anything that will make the sport safer and more fun is welcomed. I am not a daredevil and would enjoy this sport just as much if you took the possibility of death and disfigurement out of the equation. I don't believe we will ever get there but every step helps. I hope this little bit helps. I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

Found this joke and couldn't resist: Clay, a sheep, and a dog were survivors of a terrible shipwreck. They found themselves stranded on a desert island. After being there a while, they got into the habit of going to the beach every evening to watch the sun go down. One particular evening, the sky was red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle; a perfect night for romance. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to Clay. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it. But the dog got jealous, growling fiercely until Clay took his arm from around the sheep. After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling. A few weeks passed by, and lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was a beautiful young woman, the most beautiful woman Clay had ever seen. She was in a pretty bad way when they rescued her, so they slowly nursed her back to health. When the young maiden was well enough, they introduced her to their evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening: red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze; perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, Clay started to get "those feelings" again. He fought them as long as he could, but he finally gave in and leaned over to the young woman, cautiously, and whispered in her ear... "Would you mind terribly taking the dog for a walk?"

Hey, join the Army. They'll let you jump and even pay you for it! You'll just have to walk a little afterwards. I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

Gale, This isn't bad luck. You've already got a good skydiving injury story! All of the oldtimers have them. Now you can hang during story time after the jumps! j/k You'll be back up in no time. Hang in there. I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

Hey Chromie, you've already got lots of practice at this don't you? You know, playing with your snake? I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

How do you socialize with a snake? Lie on hot rocks together? Play frisbee? Just wondering? I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

I don't mean just using a 'wide variety' of ingredients. I mean using the correct combination of vegetables and nuts to get a complete protein. For me that is a pain in the butt. Are you combining those ingredients so that you get a complete protein with all of the essential amino acids everytime? If you are I am really impressed. I eat low fat meats, plenty of vegetables, and complex carbs for 5-6 meals a day and I still supplement in order to ensure the right mix of vitamins and minerals. For me it would be daunting to try and do that without meat. My supplement bill would skyrocket. I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.

I'll go without strength thank you. It's going to suck one day when science discovers that plants can feel pain. Then what will we eat? j/k I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

You're right. It is possible to get complete proteins from combining vegetable sources but it is a pain in the butt. You would have to be a Monk in order to eat like that 100% of the time. Most people don't have that much discipline. I'm not sure about this but don't the Buddhist Monks allow fish in their diet? Now, if beer were a complete protein source I would consider going vegetarian! I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

Most vegetarians are advised to supplement their diets with Iron and other vitamins/minerals that you get mainly from meat. You cannot get a complete protein (all of the essential amino acids) from a vegetable source and vegetable proteins are harder for your body to use than meat/milk proteins. Most people groups that can't supplement a vegetarian diet have a significant amount of nutrition problems. There are body builders that are vegetarians but they have to supplement like crazy. Most of them drinkand eat tons of whole milk products to make up for the lack of animal protein. I have heard some of them say that since going vegetarian it makes them less aggressive.

Does anyone else think this is hilarious? http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/04/30/pagans.vs.christians.reut/index.html I could believe if all of this happened on an elementary school playground but these are adults. You've got a group of Christians playing loud music to interrupt a coven of witches and the witches are sacrificing a chocolate bunny! Man, only in America!
