  1. i second that emotion! additionally, just like other things that are illegal that people find ways to do: if there's enough of a demand that can be profitably supplied someone will cash in on it. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  2. track like your life depends on it: because it does. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  3. go out there, the only weather that matters is what's above the dropzone. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  4. get up Sparky; it's not going to work, this stuff is too frozen to make snow angels. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  5. sounds to me like someone usng the wrong word instead of encouraging crime. he should of said"borrow" instead of "hijack". diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  6. where's the tunnel option? diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  7. black eyed peas at dinner lunch what ever i bring to the DZ. most likely a "hot pocket". (you may proceed with the Jim Gaffigan jokes now) diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  8. a hard helmet that comes down over your ears will reduce the wind noise and a full face will reduce it alot. IMO ipods have the potential to divide your attention in a situation when you need 100% of your attention on 1 thing to save your life. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  9. brian germain's canopy downsizng chart and the info that goes along with it is worth a look. (i just don't know how to link it here) diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  10. paying off the last credit card getting a different used car (my current one is dying and dosen't have AC) go visit my best friend in CT. and hopefully go to NYC. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  11. there are several places on the net to find an example of a "cease and desist" letter. which can be sent to the collector to have them stop calling. if that doesn't work, which it should because of the fair debt collections act, call back and ask to talk to the supervisor to straighten it out that you aren't the person they're looking for. if these scumbags are too hard headed to stop after either of these 2 methods you may have to get the phone company involved to prove that you are a different person than the one who had that phone number origionally, or change your phone number. this may seem like alot to go through. but you have to realize that collectors work on comission and they actually go to training on how to scare, bully, and harass people into paying them. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  12. no party plans for New Years Eve. actually i'm planning on staying home and going to bed early so i can get up and drive to the closest open DZ for my first jumps of 08'. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  18. i was able to afford my rig by saving up and sacraficing other things. i stopped eating out, bought less expensive store brand or generic food, cancelled my home internet and phone (i'm posting from work and i have a cell), and i backed out of going to this year's Voodoo Fest; which would have easily cost me a few hundred in hotels, food and drinks. i now own a used eclipse that's FF friendly with a Skymaster 170 and a Tempo reserve. the canopy is perfect for my current skill level and i'll be able to downsize to a 150 with this rig in the future. since buying my used rig i've made a heck of alot more jumps than when i was renting, i feel i'm learning more because i'm able to stay more current, and i've won 2 1st. place scrambles medals. my .02 cents: save up, buy used, jump alot and have fun. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  22. on Christmas day: exchange/ open giftw with family, pig out on cookies and sweets, then have Christmas dinner. Since New Year's is during the week: i'm working New Year's eve day then going to bed early so i can get up New Year's day and drive to the closest DZ, (my home DZ wont be open), and ring in the new year jumping. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
