I'm trying to get my nephew into the sport (I'm thinking personal packer here in a few years! Oh! And I get another niece/nephew in a few more weeks...good thing I have two rigs! ) I tried teaching him the word, "skydive," but he stared blankly. He likes looking at the Parachutist...maybe I'll try to use video next time to get his interest.... There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I attached a picture ("Robby6") of my nephew Robby (or as he says, "Bodday") playing on dropzone.com! Okay, so he's actually playing Peak-a-Boo with Elmo, but isn't he cute? Robby, for those of you who haven't met him, is incredibly fun, and he turns two today! He is all ready for his birthday party this Sunday, since now he can say something that resembles, "Happy Birthday!" It actually sounds like, "Oppy Bur Ay." Oh! And he has learned how to arch! No joke! He loves being thrown up in the air! The only time this kid isn't smiling or having fun is when he's scared of you or mad at you! (Don't piss him off...he'll stare you down and give you the evil eye...that can't come from my side of the family ) I could sit here and babble all day about how cool he is, but I'll just post a few pictures instead. "Robby3" shows him just playing...which he does alot of! I'm also shocked by how much he's starting to look like my brother in "Robby4." It's also another dz.commer's nephew's birthday, too! Happy Birthday, Joshua! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

There is no simple answer to that question, except for that skydiving is generally more dangerous. There are numerous things that can affect the assessment of the risk, however. Your driver classification, your credit rating, your location, how much you drive, when you drive, the type of car you drive, if you use a seatbelt, etc etc. If enough of those factors are bad, you may have a greater risk of dying while driving than while skydiving. It's difficult to assess one's exact risk as a skydiver, since the data really isn't there. However, I'm guessing that many of the factors that assess your risk as a driver could probably be used to assess your risk as a skydiver. For example, people with crappy credit ratings are labeled as irresponsible and their driving records show that. I'm guessing (I wish I had the data to actually look into it) that people with crappy credit ratings (since they are irresponsible) probably skydive that way, too.

When my brother and I were much younger, we used to put brown paper bags (like the kind you'd use for lunches) over our dog's feet and rubber band them in place. Our dog actually liked it, and we laughed our bums off watching him run! How our dog tortured himself: he snuck into something, and found a treat box. He stuck his head all the way in looking for treats. His head got stuck, though, and he wandered all over the house looking for help! I felt bad that the box didn't even have any treats in it.

I do, even without seeing it! And it has nothing to do with the fact that I've made a few appearances in it! I like it because I can trust Phreezone's opinion (especially when it comes to things like canopy performance, freeflying, and aging ) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Yay! I have something to entertain me today! I'm a raccoon! I liked hearing: Time for more tests to figure out what's wrong with me! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I hear ya! I haven't slept through the night in a long time. I've gotten better, though. Last week, I had a night where I only woke up once! I tried everything. Working out early on, not eating right before bed, drinking milk an hour or two before bed, not having much caffeine. I just think that doing all of those things has no effect on stress-induced insomnia. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

2 bruises and bumps on my forehead:7:0 Yes! I finally have a number in that second column! Thanks for the hug dock, Eric! I did some sketchy freefly jumps, a really fun 6-way that I messed up (a "why is he in my slot? Oh wait...that's not my slot" kinda thing) but recovered well, and a tracking dive that was poorly planned, but I still had fun on it! And if I get any more $hit about the Rantoul dvd...someone's gonna get an a$$ whoopin'! I have biceps, you know! It's very sad to hear about Holly. She seemed like a really awesome woman.

I saw it live... You know what! I'm glad it got videoed! I'm glad everyone saw it! I no longer have boobs! That's right! I am flat! I'm glad that there is proof that I used to have a nice set on me! I still have my J Lo ass, though. Maybe I'll moon everyone at this year's Convention and see if that makes the video! I just wanted to make the video once....

Glad you're happy, Bytch! I'm not. I got a $50 parking ticket this morning There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Actually, I think it's karma. Bragging about how nice and warm it is there all winter long....that'll teach you! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Am I the only girl who prefers granny panties over thongs? Huge cotton Hanes underwear is where it's at! I can't imagine trying to go jogging in a thong....ouch! Adding on....Actually the only time I wished that I wore thongs regularly was when the guys at my old home dz would give me wedgies with my huge granny panties on.

Why am I not seeing any Ned Flanders around here? What's wrong with you people? At least I'm not a rebel. I'm just fat and lazy! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

If you guys really want to analyze what you're like, this is the most reliable source I found online to do so: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/genquiz.pl?WEBSITE=cult&QUIZDATA=quiz.xml&ANSWER=1 Good luck! I really liked the answer they gave me! I'm not surprised about it at all, either. My donut fascination gives away who I am! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I know...I love those experiments where they analyze you by name or birthdate, and everybody says, "Oh! That sounds just like me!" Later on, they're all told that either they all have the same result, or they have a result of a different zodiac sign/favorite color/name or whatever. For my name, everyone is individualistic. Everyone needs freedom. I guess the space and excitement part don't necessarily apply to everyone...but a good amount of people. Who doesn't when they're getting to know someone? Well, I did date a long haired hippy in high school... Doesn't apply to me at all....but, Jess, are you sure your name isn't Vicki or Veronica or something?

No, I don't think so. My guess is that if you cutaway, that won't change the fact you'll still be underneath your canopy trying to find your way out. Cutting away and still wearing your rig will just make it more difficult to swim away from it (I'm guessing it much easier to dive down and swim away from it without 15 pounds of stuff on your back.) Also, even if you're close to shore, there is still a very real danger of drowning. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Once again, proving my point that everything really does balance out! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Oh don't get me started on that! My bottom one is impacted and one of the top ones has a cavity! Hi, Scott!

No kidding! The only good news that they gave me was that they could tell I've been brushing and flossing just fine (no plaque or tartar build up and my gums are in good shape!) But, there's something still crappy about having someone poke and prod at your teeth for 40 mins that makes me want to scream. I am so jealous.... Never thought I'd ever hear someone on dz.com saying that one to me! Cabana boys often get used, abused, then tossed aside. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Ahhh....now I see why sexy Kevin hasn't come to me "depressed" in a long time! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I frighten myself by how much I have in common with those people....I get annoyed by everything, my life balances out, I live with my parents... Tell me about it! I learned my lesson the first time. It took way too long to dig myself out of that hole, and I will do my best to never get there again. It was just weird....I got really really bad news followed immediately by really really good news! Oh...and with my sudden cash inflow, the big way camp is slightly more possible!

The one thing that I've noticed about my life is that it all pretty much balances out (anyone see that Seinfeld episode where he's "Even Steven?") I got even more proof yesterday that my life somehow just completely balances itself out. I went to the dentist, and I knew I had some bad news coming my way. Sure enough, I have to get a root canal. Yes, for everyone out there who talks about my smile, don't be fooled. My teeth are so bad that I should start a payment plan for my dentures now! I've tried everything...I gave up pop, I floss regularly, I've used Act. My teeth just keep wearing away. She gave me some prescription strength fluoride, but that doesn't change the fact I will need a root canal soon. This was very bad news. After my appointment I went next door to pick up my taxes (it's not that I procrastinate...) My tax return is huge. I will no longer have credit card debt by the end of this month! This is such a huge relief for me! Occasionally, it just seems that life works out in the funniest ways. Anyone else notice their lives completely just balancing out? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I completely agree with that! I guess the only solution to that is to do whatever the hell it is you want to do. That way, if you aren't "wanted," well, who cares? You want to be there, so that's all that matters. I'm frequently going to parties/bars/etc where I'm not wanted! I still have fun! If she wasn't asked (because that whole compromise thing in going to places you might not otherwise does occur occasionally), and she doesn't want to go, well, then that makes her kinda dumb, I guess.

Too funny! Hmm....I would say that his roommate is my friend, but I know Jim's roommate is not your brother! That's confusing! One of these days I'll hit a pub crawl....I keep hearing about how much fun they are! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
