Sorry.....when you call ask for Lisa! Cheers It only takes a little pixie dust......

First canopy huh? Sabre II or a Triathalon. Both are 9 cells and have sweet openings. They are pretty forgiving as far as piloting. I suggest you talk to SkyBytch at Square. She will fix you up and tell you exactly what you should be piloting and is much more knowledagble than I . Cheers! BB It only takes a little pixie dust......

WOW! I am so impressed! jeff from Mirage emailed inquiring about my problem. Now that's great customer service! Cheers It only takes a little pixie dust......

You're a mighty lucky little feller! Glad that you are ok. Cheers It only takes a little pixie dust......

Here it is.........list all the nasty or even amusing things that have happened to you at an airport eg lost luggage,cancelled flights,harikrishna..... Have fun! Okay I will start..I have lots of them.......I put together a cruise for 60 of my clients flying from PDX to Houston. We then had a great time on Norwegian's Texaribbean Cruise. ports of call included Cancun, Cozumel and Roatan Honduras. We had a marvelous time despite some weather. On the return flight we traveled from Houston to Utah where 60 of us learned that our flight home had been detained by 6 hours due to " weather". Now here I am sicker than a poisoned dog suffering from Honduran Bottle Nose Dolphin Disease and having to deal with unhappy folks. Being the ever diplomatic person that I am....I ended up getting folks free meals, phone cards, blankets and just about anything else they wanted. Even vouchers! Boy were they glad to see me go. And YES I did put another cruise together..we went from Boston to Bermuda Baby! Only got caught in one little hurricane too.....what's your story? It only takes a little pixie dust......

seems everytime I fly into O'hare......I have some kind of trouble. I suppose it could be due tot he fact that it is one of the largest in the world eh? Oh damn and Dallas.....walk 10 miles just to catch your next flight on the same airline? Come on guys keep it simple for those of us that aren't that smart. :P~~~~~~~~ It only takes a little pixie dust......

Good for you Jessica! Cheers! BB It only takes a little pixie dust......

Not a soccer Mom just a get out of my way kinda gal 'cause I'm bigger than you! As it were, I have a lot of equipment. Additionally being a coach I need additional room to carry more....humans! Will sell ya my suburban! I'm going to buy an old used up pick up with a canopy and travel from DZ to DZ. Can buy a lot of jumps for the kind of payments I have! :P~~~~~ It only takes a little pixie dust......

I will never believe another weather forecaster. I hold them in about the same esteem as I do attorneys. damn go ahead and ruin my day...... It only takes a little pixie dust......

LOL..well i have traveled quite a bit over the years, and more so over the last 5. But I have to say that last year was the absolute worst! my luggage was lost in twice on the way to Chicago, once on the way to Hawaii, once on the way home via Houston/Utah. Furthermore, I was directly accross from the Ford Motor Co HQ in Detriot on Sept.11. I did fly home when the airports opened. All in all no it's NOT a bad thing. I enjoy traveling, I enjoy flying, ah the smell of jet fuel........ It only takes a little pixie dust......

Well darlin you know I always have an opinion. I am a Chevy buyer by nature and have had 4 Suburban comandos. They are ok, and you are probably looking at 12-13k. You can finance new rigs now will 0% interest (some cases) and get factory rebates. You do of course loose 15% value as soon as you drive over the curb, but then you also have a warranty. Did I just complicate it even further? It only takes a little pixie dust......

OK I will admit that the airport itself is rather nice, and I am confident that the air traffic controllers are supurb.The neos are lovely as well, But I really dislike having to walk outside usually in the dark, what seems to be 5 miles uphill both ways to catch a damn shuttle to get to the hotels that the airlines put you up in when they overbook a flight, or cancel one. Especially when it's cold and windy.....and the airline has "misdirected" you luggage. It only takes a little pixie dust......

O'hare is NOT one of my favorites. brother in law was a Capt. on what once was Hughes Airwest....remember the big banana? Brother in law flies for Saudi. So does that mean you jump all over too? I mean skydive! LOL It only takes a little pixie dust......

Thank you Sky and by the looks of your pic you certainly are NOT in need of my services! Cheers! It only takes a little pixie dust......

Driver....which airline? Not bad.....but Ohhhhh could be better! ;) It only takes a little pixie dust......

OHHHHHHH a beck and call guy? wahooooooooooo! It only takes a little pixie dust......

well...misery loves company.........maybe I'll make it to 400 today! LMAO It only takes a little pixie dust......

progression of course (belly-sit-hd) with coach and video then debrief. It only takes a little pixie dust......

UGGGGG well it was supposed to rain here today.....so I baked chocolate chippers, did laundry and knitted a bit ( I know I should be from Iowa!) Wholesome and all. Then I get a call from my friend in Puerto Rico (yeah he skydives) to 1. tell me that I need to rethink some of my future plans 2. asks if I have someone I'm interested in Az .......(Well of course i always have someone that I'm interested in. Location is merely a small obstacle!) LMAO 3. tells me he will be passing through Eloy but only for a day.......mkayy so? Finally.......the sky is clear and blue and wouldn't you know I have a damn kink in my neck from all of the damn domestic goddess stuff I was doing this am. Think I'll go and get more yarn. It only takes a little pixie dust......

thanks Bob and you are correct, my harness in fact would fit better if it were about 1/4 inch shorter. It is on the top of the shoulders in front (clavical area) and always leaves me with aching traps as well. Thanks to all that have responded. Cheers It only takes a little pixie dust......

I hereby nominate PhreeZone to be lobby on behalf of....everything that we want!....And I want what I want when I want it. I want it gift wrapped and delivered too! LOL Cheers! It only takes a little pixie dust......

Butt Head! It only takes a little pixie dust......

Sounds like performance anxiety to me. Everyone here has offered solid advice, here's my .02 > The main problem is relaxing......which means dude YOU have to breathe. Practice breathing slowly, deeply and wide. Egads if you want further explination on "breathing wide" email me. Now then can I have my penny back? LOL Cheers It only takes a little pixie dust......

Thanks Phree....I knew that. The point I was attempting to make albeit badly, was perhaps there needs to be more pressure all the way around if this is something that needs to change. The USPA will push harder if it's constituants work harder to bring about change. You seem to have alot of answers/opinions on quite a bit.( No malice intended) What do you think is necessarry for this to happen? It only takes a little pixie dust......

thanks! It only takes a little pixie dust......
