  1. Ok so the crystal blue waters are out.. But the weather is supposed to be beautiful in Nome, Tx at the dz for sunday. Much better option I think than the Carribean. So if any of you guys are looking for a place to enjoy a nice sunday of jumping Nome is the place this weekend. Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  2. Just moved from Fort Walton Beach in May to Houston. If you are looking for a dz in Destin, the airport in FWB is half commercial/ and utilizes the military airstrip. Destin has a small airport off of Hwy 98 about halfway thru Destin before San Destin but I can't recall a dz. The military owns and operates the Eglin Reservation which covers alot of ground and it is restricted air/ground space and they can get rather nasty. I kept a current phone book and the closest dz I found there is in Elberta, AL #800-759-3483 Emerald Coast Skydiving Center. Give them a call they might know of a small dz north of Destin somewhere around Freeport or Defuniak Springs that is non published or something. They do alot of parasailing there but due to the military airspace stretching from outside of Navarre all the way through outside of Destin North and beachside of Hwy 98 the only places I could think of maybe inland... Hope this helps..... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  3. Thanks Guys. I knew there was something around here years ago now I know.. I had to call Mom and ask and she said she thought it was somewhere in the NASA complex as we were here with a Civil Air Patrol group touring NASA and Ellington. If you hear of any coming back online or the roving one coming thru anytime this year, please let me know.. Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  4. Could be worse, someone could have asked for change and I would have had to give them nipples and dimes in change today if the rain wouldn't have ruined the day... Because it was rather chilly outside....But by the end of the week I just might be on a nice warm carribean island St. Croix sunning on the beach if things go my way with work. Blue skies and crystal blue water two of the best things in life..... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  5. After showing a tandem video from 1998 of me of course to all the guys and a few of management they really believed I am a bit out of the Norm but again that is why they hired me in 2005. I keep them entertained with my new and different ways to do something extreme adn different..Also have gotten a few people wanting to come out when we are in town and not working.... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  6. Were you drinking Tequila??? Tequila + clothed female = naked female. Where did the clothes go? Couldn't tell you. Have no clue myself.... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  7. You are probably right. The weather is supposed to be really nice out on saturday and I am going to cook a big pot of Crawfish Etouffee and bring it to the DZ, you going to be able to make it?? I have been cooped up in the apt. waiting on the damn UPS man for 2 days now..It makes me stir crazy and I get way out of my little box.. See you saturday at the DZ. Oh and thanks for the bad day uplift and the uh uh thread moving oppurtunities available One day I will learn..Oh almost forgot 2 neighbors left to meet Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  8. I did my first 2 SL which I think is about the same as IAD I tink? Trying to do them in 2's as I go along, the second one was a bit easier (less scared). But I came down on the first jump to the NOAA weather channel..lol.. Must have bumped the channel button on exiting and landed next door to the DZ in a wide open field.. Please..Don't let me fall off the strut. That would totally throw me for a loop until I heard that slider pop over my head.. That is such a comforting sound mind you to hear it then look up and see it right where its supposed to be.. Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  9. I know they have to have one in the Houston area does anyone know where? I went to a tunnel as a teenager and remember there is one here just can't remember where and/or if it was public accessible. It's been a long time.... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  10. Lots of luck to you from this space too.. Real New myself 1 tandem and 2 SL's. It is rather addicting isn't it.. Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  11. The breathing and clearing the mind thing helps me too. I only have 2 SL jumps so I am at the beginning of the fear myself. Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  12. Probably so..Its been that kind of day.. How do you move it?? Or would that be bringing out the hair color jokes? Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  13. Nooo Way! No Tequila for Missy. For some reason I always get in Big Trouble...Lose clothes etc. No corner store for that beverage batch... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  14. Just the right stuff to drink the last of as you can't go down to the local corner store and pick up some more... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  15. Upwind.. Hmmm.. I second that Rebecca! Last time I checked I did hear something at work about "Nut Must". Put them downwind if they deserve it, but only if they deserve it. Otherwise, they can fly side by side till the mice upstairs stop running and the lightbulb goes off... ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  16. That one really doesn't get a rise out of me anymore either. I have just about heard them all being 1 out of 2 females working with an all male company. After listening to all their comments to the wives on the phone, I am glad I come home all by myself...So I guess I get a little daily review on the ways to piss a woman.. But it works vice versa when you get to piss off the boss.. ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  17. That one doesn't even bother women anymore...Sounds too much like BAIT!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  18. Here's one for you guys to gnaw on, the company I work for sends us in/out of Canada routinely to work. For those of us on the US side of the company, after returning from western Canada we are usually put thru the routine piss test. The Canadian side isn't, the UK division isn't only "We the people" get tested. Now Isn't that some S*&t! ----------------------------------------------------------- Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  19. Don't you hate it when someone throws out a statement like, "Yeah you are inconsistent and I am misjudged"? What a way for someone to start someone's day off with. An Out the Box, off the cuff, way out in left field totally throwed off comment with no bottom line.. I knew today was going to be a bad day, when I dropped the cell phone and now the screen stays blank... `````````````````````````````````````````````````` `` Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  20. Yep! You are right there. It is definitely a new location! Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  21. You are right. For some reason that word does get a rise out of most women..But myself being a female was sitting around the bar in Fort Walton Beach, Florida with some friends from work(All Females) and we came up with a code for it..lol.. CUNT (See-You-Next-Tuesday) Of course we used it for all those special females we ran into ourselves.. Obviously a way to get around that way to piss off a woman. Just something off the wall I thought I would throw out there... ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  22. It's all about the at hand value. A good arguement can definitely be good for both sides in the end. Makeup Sex is the spice of life! That my friend is worth a few heated moments... ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  23. The ways to pissing men off are endless. Somehow I tend to find a good one every now and then but you guys have some great ones.. But drinking their last beer is just down right a winner. Especially when you ask them to go to the store and get some more.. ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  24. Well just to say Kathleen I saw you land in Nome and I think you did quite well myself.. You got to see both of mine somewhat I think.. Although I landed off both times I had watched you land and learned from you and kept remembering Jeff's words, "Flare around 10' ". I might have landed off but at least it was soft and on my feet sort of. I forgot to let go of one toggle for a second and start gathering the canopy and the wind got me there for a little pull in the field..lol ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
  25. Being an EMT myself I personally would never treat anyone with disrespect while treating them. Whether it s from jumping out of an airplane (Which mind you has less injuries than the driving of an automobile) or other activities.. It was probably due to inexperience. Please don't hold it against all of us EMT's. We are all of a different species...lol ------------------------------------------------------------ Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.
