    I agree! You want to gain weight without shortening your life span.

    My husband will be relieved to hear this. If he hangs in there for that long!

    Do I get some credit for pimping it for you to all of my whuffo friends?

    Or saves someones marriage...I showed this to my husband so he would understand that I have to take my rings off...not because I want to, but because it's necessary. He was convinced.

    I have nothing to complain about compared to my friend at work. She just started with us, brand new job, not yet on our insurance, so she's on her husband's. She just announced on Thursday she's pregnant (not the bad part)-- and her husband got fired on Friday. There goes the insurance. So she had to cancel her OB appt today. And last night her washing machine flooded and stopped working. Poor girl showed up at work with a bag full of sopping wet laundry!!

    Happy, happy birthday, Kim. You will treasure the years to come even more because of what you've been through. God Bless and speedy recovery! Yvonne

    I never thought I'd be glad about football season starting. But I'm looking at it a whole new way this year. My husband's not interested in skydiving, I'm not interested in football. But at least we can understand better each other's crazy obsessions. C'mon Broncos, keep my hubbie distracted!

    If you want to feel that butterflies in the stomach feeling, you can definitely do so. If you do not, let your TI know. He/She has no interest in getting thrown up on in mid-air and will do their best to make it an enjoyable experience for you! Just remember to breathe and let the TI call the shots. Let us know how it goes!!

    It's a love/hate relationship!! You'll be so obsessed with the love of it that your whuffo friends will hate it!! I'm just calling it my midlife crisis. My husband's latest: "Couldn't you just take up skiing?" Just give in, there's no use resisting...

    Jewels!! You're s'posed to get the rest of us in on the tunnel time when you cheat!! It was fun today....except for the rain thing. (Could have been worse. We could have been on that last load getting pelted by ice at 11k). See ya Tuesday!!

    This is my daughter...she's only thirteen. She can be a pain in the arse, but she's actually one very sweet kid. The first one is last august, the day she got her braces off. The 2nd one is from last weekend, with a couple of her girlfriends. That's a $4k smile!!

    Yep, that's what I'll do.

    Julie, I always said my first dive would have to be a tandem because I'd get up there and freeze and have to be pushed out the door. That may still happen on my first solo, but I had no door fear on my tandems. In fact, I wished at the time I could be closer so I could watch the experienced jumpers' exits better. You just never know how you're going to react.

    Agreed, shit can and does happen. But I'd like to reduce the odds of someone I care about getting hurt because of stupid behavior on the part of the pros. I'm not in any way saying that's what went on here; but just trying to learn something and be armed with more knowledge when I go back there. Not to cause trouble, but to have a heads up. I will probably talk to whoever is going to take my friend up and just express my concerns/fears/probably needless worries. It's not a carnival ride (to us), and I don't want her to be treated like she's on one. There are three of us interested in proceeding with the AFF program, so I'm trying to be as well-informed as I can be. We all are, actually. Thanks very much for your input!

    Don't know if this is where I should ask this question, but here goes. I took a friend of mine last weekend to do her first tandem. She had a blast, and loved every minute of it. However, today we were able to watch her video for the first time. When her TI went to deploy, he didn't wave off the videographer; in fact, the videographer's feet where level with my friend's head at the time of deployment. I have zero experience (except for the 2 tandems I've done) but it looked scary to me. Do I have reason to be concerned that these two were so close to each other? Or are appearances decieving and it's not a big deal? I am taking another friend up to this same drop zone and I want to feel comfortable that I'm making a good recommendation when I send people there.

    Don't do the sad face!!! Then I feel guilty. Oh hell, just do what you want. Stop. Go. Whatever, ok? C'mon, let's have a smile now.

    "Noodley appendage" doesn't sound very impressive....
