    No I weigh around 105 but when I stepped on the scale fully geared it says 125... thinking that scale is off by more than a few vanity pounds. I will most certainly keep a radio on for the next several jumps to get used to the landings. I did appreciate the lack of floatiness, and being up there FOREVER, especially on higher wind days.

    I can't believe its been ten years!! I am hoping to make at least one balloon jump over my home dz... it will be surreal to see a balloon over Butler for the first time

    I have been in the sport approximately 6 years having made my first skydive in 02. I did two tandems, 5 static lines, 7 AFP jumps, 5 coached jumps, and 32 solo jumps all in 03 and 04 and then have not jumped again until a month a half ago. I currently have 6 jumps back since under the same canopy (falcon 236) and student gear I was on back in 04. I have just transitioned to a two handled system, with a much better fitting J1 harness. The Falcon will not fit in that container so I am downsizing to a Triathlon 190. I weigh 125 out of the door. Is this too big of a transition or downsize? I landed it for the first time yesterday with no winds, and I am not too proud to say I took a radio and was glad for it or I feel like I may have flared much higher. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated as I feel a tad bit intimidated with the drastic appearance of much less fabric over my head

    Just wanted to post this pic from a pink mafia jump at Couch Freaks 07. I did not know Jennifer or Marnie well but I know many of you down in Freefall Express and my heart goes out to you all.

    So what if its just a little winter camo? Say in the grippers and what if it was on a girl, does it still suck? BTW, I personally like the camo/red and other camo variations I have seen on containers and jumpsuits

    :1:0 1st freefall jump back in 3 1/2 years...it was VERY VERY good to get back on the horse! Wish I could have made more but it was freezing (27 degrees at altitude) and very windy. No beer owed but Patron shots were on hand for the celebration Still loving Kaerodyne

    I love Imogen and I especially love Frou Frou... I guess I really enjoy the electronic sounds. She also has a very funky fashion style

    Interesting study... Has some valid points I personally have tended to shy away from certain men and been attracted to certain men far more because of personality traits than initial attraction levels. Beauty is only skin deep but @ssholes are forever

    Wish I had known the effects mixed with alcohol, 5 inch heels, and ladies night on a slick dance floor My one and only ankle injury (at least I didnt REALLY feel it till the next day)

    That's funny I saw that as the featured video on myspace too! Pretty cool but gotta wonder what the whuffos think of that... doesn't do much for our image of not being crazy wreckless daredevils

    Try this site: http://www.beautifulorchids.com/orchids/orchid_care_tips/reblooming/reblooming.html You need to identify what species you have and then follow the directions for each family. My sweet boyfriend sent me a beautiful white Japanese phalaenopsis two months ago and it gets misted daily and watered once or twice a week. It also gets very bright indirect light from a picture window across the room. Orchids enjoy humidity so misting can help achieve that.

    Thin mints frozen and samoas... I could eat a whole box if not careful, they are dangerous like Ben & Jerry's vanilla toffee
