If you had to be one dz.com guy for a day, who would it be? Phreezone Phreezone Phreezone Phreezone Phreezone A huge thanks to Erk for putting together some video of my jumps and putting them on a website! It looks great, and I am much appreciative! My grandma will love it, and she's got a surprise for ya when she comes to SGC with me! To see me in action, go here and click on "Valerie's Mix". You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Hey, Anna! Okay...guess I was wrong...I thought you were going to try to send him $50 here and there for it. I will not be in Hinckley this weekend, since the IL Valley Parachute Club is having their Mullins King Air boogie You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

If the old t-shirt could be bought at any local garage sale/Goodwill for $3, and the new t-shirt comes out to about $20, that's really a $17 profit! And, if a free "scuba" t-shirt is included, well, that's just icing on the cake (not that I would know from personal experience.) I've got this beautiful jacket that looks like the one Madonna wore in "Desperately Seeking Susan"! I've been needing a good excuse to bust it out of the closet. Too bad I didn't save that Vanilla Ice t-shirt, though. You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Well, we want the boy to stay healthy! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

For some skydiving heightens the sense of fashion. As in a girl learns which t-shirts get her more free t-shirts. Other girls learn which shirts get them free pack jobs. Yikes! Bike shorts are SCARY! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Hey! I read that somewhere a couple of months ago! That and the fact that making out is also really good for your health! Now, when the FDA includes beer in that food pyramid.... You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Throw the jumpsuit away....it's ugly anyways. Just kidding, Anna! Was the small payment method not workin for ya? You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Bob is awesome-I tried setting him and my grandmother up, but they just didn't click. Oh well. He is definately a nifty guy who, get this, said I don't write enough in my log book (while everyone else calls me a geek for writing too much!) Yeah, and that van is cool! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

0:4:0 My last jump at my (now ex) home dropzone: An awesome 5-way out of the 206. The men on the skydive consisted of the S&TA, the instructor who passed me off of student status, another instructor who I took some road trips with, and an old-timer who I've learned so much from. The points turned pretty easy (and I even got to steal some kisses from two of those men!), and to our final formation of a line while we all marveled at the beauty of our old home. They all landed next to the hangar (which was funny, since the evil men who run the airport haven't let them do that for over a year.) Sure, I'll find another place, but it's hard to leave good friends who have gone out of their way to get you skydiving, despite the large number of terrifying landings. Other weekend stuff: my friend got a job down south, and since he won't be able to come back to Purdue for over a year , we all got very drunk! It's great that he got an awesome job, but Harry's won't be the same without him. Whoever said "change is good" lied. You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Congrats to you and your son, Lisa! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Nope. Illinois doesn't have Smirnoff Ice. I'm not sure why-probably due to some goofy rule that always messes up Sunshine's fun. I've tried to get her to drink beer....she just won't budge! Anyways, what's wrong with you people? I try to start a nice, clean thread about a spiffy dz, and you all turn it into "Val-the virused drunkard" and have scared people off! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

We know, Bill. I think you proved that in this picture here . Sorry...just had to bring that picture up again! It cracks me up! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Sure! Just bring some beersssss You weren't so tame yourself there, chicky! But, I did like your accessories! No, it's the sprinklers that kill! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

Sunshine's home dz (IL Valley Parachute Club in Minier, IL) is having Mike Mullins's Super Duper Fun Fun King Air June 22-23! I haven't made it over there yet, and this should prove to be a great time had by all (especially the way Sunshine raves on about it!) Heck, I may even smuggle some Smirnoff Ice across the border and try my luck at bootleggin! So, just to let you all know that if you're in the Midwest, like fast planes, enjoy cheap jumps, and want to hang out with Sunshine and myself, that's where we'll be! You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

"Don't worry. I'll buy the next round." You can't stop me; you can only hope to contain me!

My absolute favorite beer is this wonderful stuff called FREE! Mmm....free beer. But, if I had to pick and choose from free beer, I like Bud Light, Corona, and a new favorite discovered just a couple of weeks ago...Amber Bock. I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind; got my paper, and I was free

Warning: I have skewed thoughts due to my disbelief in monogomy 1. Kissing and a little groping don't count as cheating; it's more of an accident (especially while intoxicated). 2. The confession of cheating should only happen if feelings are involved with the person they messed around with. Why confess something that meant nothing? 3. Sure! I like to modify that statement to "Whatever happens on the location I'm at stays on the location I'm at!" Somehow, that doesn't always work. I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind; got my paper, and I was free

I completely agree! So peaceful and quiet.... But, my second favorite is Mullins's King Air! Just a week and a half and I get to jump it again! I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind; got my paper, and I was free

That's the one! He's under here as freefallin14! I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind; got my paper, and I was free

But, is it okay to do a kiss pass with a married man in front of his wife??? I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind; got my paper, and I was free

I am so sorry guys! I usually try to keep my virus software updated but have been slacking on it since they asked me for more money. Shame on me. I learned my lesson, and I hope you can all forgive me! I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind; got my paper, and I was free

I believe Anna's already got one good jump story from Franklin... We had some good times at Frankfort, and I'm really glad that I got to meet you, Bret and Adam. I am looking forward to jumping with you guys again in the Chicago area soon. I guess it's time we introduced the rest of the world to Flippy Cup!

A little over two years ago, I checked out this crazy place after joining the Purdue Skydiving Club. As the story often goes, I went for one jump, then two, then three... I immediately felt a part of the family they had going on there-George even gave me the nickname of Smiley on my first visit! Soon enough, I graduated off student status and proceeded to get absolutely smashed after doing vodka shots with Dave (who proved that I CAN hold a beer bottle in an interesting place!) But, it was them initiating Anna and me with sit-ups and taking me to Chances Are that really made me feel part of the group (chalk those up to interesting experiences!) What can I say? This place is home to me-I've had many a firsts in Frankfort (firsts: freefall, night jump, freefly, reserve ride, kiss pass, pieing, corn landing...all the newbie stuff!) I had only been there a short time and already experienced so much. I formed a cool attachment there after feeling so welcomed, and I will miss having such a place to go to. With all the bad stuff that's happened, I just hope some good can come from the mess. I feel very fortunate to have met Dave & Jan, and everyone else (even Boardley!) I wish everyone the best of luck in the future. I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind; got my paper, and I was free

5 seconds till your food is tainted:5:2 1. First horny gorilla 2. First time landing in front of a crowd of a cool, applauding Amish bunch It was one of those weekends where we all laughed non-stop from Sat morning till Sunday evening! I visited some friends up in northern Indiana and got to make a couple of jumps with them. They are the most wonderful people I have ever met (well, besides Sunshine!)

On my resume I listed, amongst other activities, that I was the treasurer of my school's skydiving club. (That's leadership, right? Taking other people's money...) I definately stood out for it, and I received positive and negative reactions. The one woman who got all excited about our bars at Purdue thought it was "neat"; must've been a good thing since I got a second interview (too bad I wasn't actually qualified for the job! lol). Also, I think it helped me get my internship last year (since it was something "unique"), which led to my full time employment there. One man, however, was pure evil! He criticized me for it, but what can ya do? In my opinion (doesn't count for much), my field of work is pretty boring, so it's a good thing to stand out from the rest on my resume.
