  1. Well, heck. I would gladly do that if it meant that I could be on a 100-way without having to travel far!!! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  2. People can give scholarships out to whomever they want. I'm fine with that. There are many essay writing contests for scholarships. Those are completely subjective. Scholarships aren't exactly a "right." If someone wants to support a certain group by giving out scholarships, so be it. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  3. Yay! You got your free iPod! Anyone else wanna try to get one (since it does actually work?) Here's my link! http://www.freeiPods.com/?r=16095266 There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  4. You're joking, right??? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  5. I think this is where I get some confusion. There are some great big-way jumpers in the Midwest. Plus, as you say, many people travel to hundred way events. I'm really just trying to figure out if I'll have to travel far forever or if someone can reasonably plan a 100-way here. If someone plans it, I'll jump! But, since it takes more than qualified jumpers...it takes qualified organizers... There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  6. Lindsey!!! You are so much fun!!! It was great hanging out with you! We'll have to do that again in September! Thanks for the tips, Jan. I did drink a TON of water (about 80 ounces a day), but I think the salty food wasn't helping.... There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  7. Oddly enough, the best openings I had with my Falcon were the ones in which I flat packed and didn't roll the nose. I had some very hard openings on it. It was definitely the hardest opening canopy I've ever had. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  8. You rock, Craig!!! It was great hanging out with you!
  9. That's an understatement! I learned weird stuff, too...non-flying stuff. I learned that six 100-ways in a day is much harder on my body than 6 regular jumps. If I ever did another 100-way event, I would get a hotel room for it, and I would also eat healthy food. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  10. I really hope people don't think that secondhand smoke is okay. My grandpa recently died from what secondhand smoke did to his lungs. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  11. So, I'm just curious as to why there aren't many 100-ways in the Midwest. With Rantoul, SDC, Richmond, and other boogies pulling in enough aircraft, how come there aren't many 100-ways? When was the last 100-way in the Midwest? We're not that lame here, are we? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  12. She not a rich girl or a hollaback girl. She is just a girl. I'm glad she has that well established. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  13. 1) Because it's crappy weather outside There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  14. I just spent many (13?) days in Perris, and I finally got back this morning. Even though things like heat, desert and lack of car existed there, I had a great time hanging out with everyone (locals and visiting jumpers alike!
  15. Painfully 0:20:Lots There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  16. I got a buzz from Insanity on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas!!!! Best way for me to be reassured I could never jump off a building! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  17. I wish you were here, too, John! I miss you guys at SDC! We got a surprise visit by Tom, though!!!!
  18. That means you'll have to be on top There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  19. I'm nervous! Just a few more minutes until we begin! Billvon is by me on line up!
  20. I'll post some of the pics when I get home next week, but I would just like to say that Vegas was mucho fun!
  21. Breathe deep and relax. Meeting Sunshine can be a very enjoyable experience. My suggestion is to smile, say, "Nice to meet you!" and give her a hug. Daytime Sunshine makes us all feel warm and cozy. Nightime Sunshine is a different story....one that I cannot tell here. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
  22. I learned what line twists putting you on your back feel like. I learned that cutting away your stuff in a big-way gives you a higher chance of recovering your stuff. I learned more about sheepdogging. I learned how to get the kick butt Amy track!
  23. Tom is in the Bombshelter now, so maybe he'll entertain me here instead of Square 1. (You remember Tom, right?) Oh, and the tunnel guys rock. Travis is a cutie....he is soooo nice, and he repacked my reserve!
