LMAO!!! Live long and prosper........... It only takes a little pixie dust......

It is the mentality of you and those like you that will help the sport to grow. I have been to several drop zones in the nation and it is so interesting to see how each has it's own flavor and personality. Too bad that the few "inept" instructors don't realize that we lose a lot of folks because of their impact on students. It is important to always give back to the sport that you love.

Oh geeez! ROFLMAO It only takes a little pixie dust......

EXACTLY It only takes a little pixie dust......

$$ = Class? I think Not! like my Momma always used to say......"There's a difference between class and ass!" Smart lady! It only takes a little pixie dust......

Glad that we are on the same page! Kids deserve respect too and......they truly are products of their environment. It only takes a little pixie dust......

How about this......You are in a long standing relationship and find out that according to your "date" he isn't in a relationship with you.....WTF is that? I hate when that happens......LOL It only takes a little pixie dust......

UM does that mean it's ok at home? It only takes a little pixie dust......

*applauds Sebazz1* It's NOT suppose to be about the win......it's suppose to be about the strive to win! Seems to be that when it truly was an "amatuer event" it was much simpler.Now it seems to be about the $$$. Just another thought....you are aware that RW is in OIC discussions as an addition to Olympic Events? Happy flyin! It only takes a little pixie dust......

I REALLY hate to do this.........but I will. I am upper level judge for one of the US Olympic sports. Generally in judged sports there are those that judge artistic impression with an equal compliment of those that judge technical merit.Generally each panel consists of 7 -9 judges; on each panel one high score and one low score are discared . These judges work for years to attain their ratings and are chosen by the IOC. What I would say is this.....judges are suppose to judge what they see on a given day and not "face judge". It is an extremely difficult task but at the heart of it all is the ideology that we always put the athlete first in all relationships. The soap opera here is indeed unfortunate. Would it be better to have judges score routines and then have a computer decide the overall winner? Or perhaps eliminate judged sports altogether? This would take out gymnastics,synchronized swimming,Ice skating, ice dance, rhythm gymnastics etc........I will be interested to hear you responses. :) It only takes a little pixie dust......

Political correctness? You mean like we can no longer celebrate Christmas (Winter festival) Halloween (Fall festival) Easter (Spring festival) in public schools for fear of offending someone? OH PUHHHLEEEEZZZZZZZ It only takes a little pixie dust......

Emmie~ Rule of thumb here is this: Just because one is a good skydiver does NOT make them a good teacher, and some of the best teachers are not great skydivers! Hang in there! Really there are those that will help you as much as they can simply because they love the sport and want to perpetuate it. I'll jump with you any day! Oregon, Arizona or how about dollar days in Iowa? Yahooooooooo It only takes a little pixie dust......

NO WHINNING ALLOWED! How about the gal at the bank who treats you like it is such a bother to give you some of YOUR money? It only takes a little pixie dust......

How about the 15 minute call that goes to a now call and it's only been 5 minutes since the 15? It only takes a little pixie dust......

Truth be told the last time it happened, with a straight face I said;" Actually I just had a sex change" You should have seen the look! and......SPAM is stuff posing as meat!.....ewwwww It only takes a little pixie dust......

I was (am) deeply touched by the love, respect and honor that you paid to your friend and his family. I hope that each of us can say that we are as well loved within our own skydiving "families". I salute the divine within you. It only takes a little pixie dust......

Oh what about the folks that don't brush their teeth....YIKES! Or the whoofo that asks "what's a little lady like you doin' in a man's sport"? Give Me A Break It only takes a little pixie dust......

Oh boy! Now I'm not actually advocating special parking for pregnant women....I said that I was big enough to burn diesel and had difficulty negotiating in 3 feet of snow. Course the snow plow didn't appreciate having to dig my butt out of the snow when I fell.......and the tow truck popped a wheely but hey I was really BIG! LOL It only takes a little pixie dust......

I dunno couldn't see the front of the suit......well the back either......maybe she lost her bottoms? It only takes a little pixie dust......

This is the same station that says "curling" is a sport but skydiving isn't? It only takes a little pixie dust......

Sitting on the HOT Arizona runway for 15 minutes because somebody is on the WRONG load! It only takes a little pixie dust......

alright... I have to share this......last time I was in Hawaii (July) I went to the beach and there was a lady that must have weighed over 350+ in the water. No Problem! But when she got out........she was wearing a thong.......thats just WRONG! Now I can see a buff younger gal in a thong but......EGADS!! It only takes a little pixie dust......

Tee~ I would opt for the side of extreme caution,and follow your Dr.'s recommendation. I am sure that you will get lots of input from other jumpers. I ask myself this question though.."if it were me would I jump"? and the answer I come up with is a resounding no. One hard landing and who knows what the outcome would be. Better to be safe than sorry in my opinion. I wish you all that you wish for and congrats! It only takes a little pixie dust......

OK! And just a thought......now when I was pg I was big enough to burn diesel.....imagine living in eastern oregon in the winter, 3 feet of snow and trying to negotiate my way into the grocery.......THAT is a handicap! LOL It only takes a little pixie dust......

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