  1. Cool! I like swimming, but I kind of resemble a fish that's just been hooked when I swim! Yeah, must be really difficult in California!!! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  2. I hate Counting Crows! I like that one song "I've been hangin around..." but that's it! My one friend is obsessed with them! We made fun of him all the time for it! That and Hootie! Yeah...I do get that line. I never knew the goodness of the ice cream I had 'til it was gone There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  3. Maybe just a bit! Actually, I think lifting weights is what did it for me! I haven't been one of those "I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight" people since I was 12! I think my biceps are burning more fat than I thought they could! You could make millions selling that plan! I think it would make people happier, too!

    Peeps

    Mmmm...Peeps. Mmm...Cadburry Cream Eggs. I have to fill up on holiday candy NOW! After Easter, we have to wait until Halloween to start the 6 month time span of constant, sugary, good food again. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  5. After you drop a size or two, people begin to ask you, "What's your secret?" The only real "secret" for me was Betsy moving out and taking her twirly fwirlies with her. I lived off of Ramen and yogurt, and I stopped watching television. That explained some of the weight loss. My other secret to losing weight: ice cream (with cookies and hot fudge, too!) No joke. One weekend, I laid in bed for most of the time, and I ate massive amounts of ice cream. Monday morning, the scale said I weighed 1.5 lbs less than on Thursday!
  6. Congratulations to everyone on it! That is absolutely amazing! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  7. You forgot eating lunch at a Sports Bar in pink pajama bottoms and a fleece! But at least your hair looked nice! You're darn right my hair looked nice! My hair looked awesome! Oh the things that a million bobby pins can do.... I thought going to a bar in pajamas and a fleece was better than going in a formal dress! Was I wrong?

  8. Why? You won't be increasing your altitude awareness any by doing that in a tunnel. I thought the advantage of learning in a tunnel was that you could pretty much put full concentration towards body postions and movements. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  9. Well, thanks for the compliment, but I'm no stranger to classless things such as doing keg stands, inhaling quarter pounders, laughing obnoxiously, and going to Walmart at midnight in green pajama pants, brown shoes, and a blue sweater! I think the class and tact genes skipped me! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  10. Nope! Kakakee is over 80 miles. MAPQUEST Hmm...but it's probably technically within a 50 mile radius. I'm still confused as to why Hinckley and Kankakee were brought up. Hinckley drug tests (according to Andy, so if I'm wrong...shoot him!). I'm not sure if Kankakee does or not, but Bob watches staff extremely closely, and daytime recreation is strongly forbidden. If there are dzs within the area with problems, then by all means bring them up. Neither Hinckley or Kankakee should have fingers being pointed at them, however, in this discussion. Yes, I know people were trying to tell Andy there were other dzs in the area...good job. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  11. Thanks, Andrea! I would love to wear that dress again! Actually, I would love to wear any of my dresses again! Unfortunately, I'm not classy enough to actually have a reason to wear them again! Other things from this past weekend: Mr. Bubble is my new boy toy Happy 100th Pammi and Merrick! The bride couldn't help laughing whenever the minister suggested that she "respected" Kevin...hmm...

  12. Uhh...I hope he wasn't suggesting there was drug use at Millennium. Bob is way too anal (which is a good thing) to allow daytime recreation (a huge reason that Purdue took their skydiving club there.) I can understand that taking blood (and to a certan degree urine) may be invasive. I don't see why an instructor/staff/etc should have a problem with a breathalizer test or with the saliva test for drugs recently taken (that one tests for certain drugs taken within the past 8 hours or so...I think....) If you don't like getting drug tested, peer pressure those who make it necessary into quitting. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  13. Warning: drinking may lead to the Macarena! 2 newlyweds on their way to AZ:0:0 I went to my college roommate's wedding as the old maid of honor (I ended up stealing my brother's best man's speech! ) The ceremony and reception went well, and everyone had a great time! The bride and groom didn't stress out too much, and they had their share of champagne (that word is funny when you're drunk!) Just a few pictures for you guys....I didn't include all of the pictures, of course! Hi, Pammi! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  14. I'm not allowed to date. I still live at home with my parents There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  15. I think we need some Midwest representation....hey, Lew...where are ya?
  16. I don't know how your dz works, so I'm going to make many assumptions, but yes, it can be done. I do know of someone that got off of student status from static line training in 3 weeks. His tip was to call a few days beforehand to make sure that there is a jumpmaster there and willing to do multiple jumps with you that day.

  17. To piss my parents off (okay, not really, but it happened to one of them anyways!) I used to always have those dreams where I was flying like a bird. I had to know what it actually felt like. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  18. Thanks for the bump! But, really...here I am, giving skydivers the chance to help people by doing what they love second best.... There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  19. Marvin Gaye puts Clarence Carter to shame! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  20. That's easy...the Simpsons! Not that I used to be addicted to that show or anything..... My second favorite cartoon was Daria. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  21. I know many folks out there don't do a large amount of charity work, so do your part! If it's crap weather on Saturday, April 12th, participate in a charity event for the Breast Cancer Organization and the Leukemia society. All you have to do to help is drink beer!!! You guys are great at that! The 9th Annual Masters Pub Crawl Saturday April 12, 2003 Registration Starting at 2 p.m. at Augie's (1800 block of Wrightwood) with 1st tee time around 2:30 p.m. Pass the word along!!!! THE TRADITION: For the past eight years, we (the residents and ex-residents of 506 West Arlington Place) have presented an annual event that coincides with the playing of the Masters, arguably the most prestigious professional golf tournament in the world. To pay homage to this magisterial competition here in Chicago, 868 miles away from the actual event in Augusta, Georgia, we've celebrated each year with droves of Masters fans and beer drinkers in the most appropriate way we could think of: a round of championship bar golf. In 2003, the tradition continues. THE GAME: Bar golf is, in many ways, easier than real golf... Teams of three are selected randomly at the first hole Each threesome plays nine holes of bar golf (i.e., nine bars) Each threesome is required to consume one pitcher at each bar, with scoring based on time required to finish: Score Pitcher Consumption Time Eagle 0-5 Minutes Birdie 5-10 Minutes Par 10-15 Minutes Bogey 15-20 Minutes Double Bogey 20-25 Minutes THE COURSE Course subject to change. Be sure to check with starter at first tee! 1. Augie's 2. Hog Head McDunnas 3. Bird's Nest 4. Reilly's (Racine just North of Fullerton) 5. Wrightwood Tap 6. Irish Eyes 7. Lincoln Station 8. Kendall's 9. Parkway Tavern THE FIRST TEE Once again, Augie's (just west of Ashland on Wrightwood) will serve as the first hole of the Masters Pub Crawl. Beginning at 2PM, we will register golfers for this year's event outside the bar at designated check-in tables. Given our projected participation, we plan to divide this year's field into 3-4 flights (roughly 60 golfers in each) and send these flights off in waves as each fills up with registrants. This should manage the size of the crowds, and as a result, minimize your wait for beer. THE TEAMS As usual, teams for the Masters Pub Crawl will be threesomes, picked randomly to foster socialization and parity among the competition field. If, however, you'd like to ensure that you're playing your bar-golf round in the same flight as someone (or a group of friends) in particular, try to arrive at Augie's at approximately the same time; we'll do our best to accommodate your request. Interested in experiencing the Masters without the pressures of competition? It's not mandatory to join a team; feel free to be a part of our Masters gallery to cheer on the golfers. THE CAUSE The Masters Pub Crawl is first-and-foremost a charity event. Chugging pitchers of Miller Lite and trolling through the bars of Lincoln Park are simply means to our philanthropic end. Our goal for this year's event is to raise over $2,500 with half of the proceeds going to the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization and the other half to the Leukemia Society. To achieve this goal, a modest $5 'greens fee' will be collected at the first tee and Masters Pub Crawl commemorative T-shirts will be sold with 100% of the net proceeds going to these causes.

  22. Yes, now when you start talking about shaving off armpit hair, I'm really gonna lose it here! I'm at work you know! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  23. Enough with the sicko talk! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  24. Oh...you have no idea how truthful that really is! Probably not. How many whuffos are out rushing to buy Good Stuff? They generally don't know the difference between when they're watching something incredible in skydiving or something on Real TV. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

    back... DAMN

    Well, that's the important part, then! I dunno...I sit at work, and I have to answer to multiple people in a professional tone and stare at numbers trying to figure out how to adjust them so we get an answer we like. Sometimes, it's fun to come to dz.com to be silly, since I'm not allowed to do it here!
