Good idea!!! Im coming to Tampa in 3 days... and it is his birthday Never thought to cook him a steak as well...How would you like your steak cooked, baby?

pics of me and my boyfriend Karl (aka kaerodyne)

"We don't live in a world of reality, we live in a world of perceptions" So true...

"Violence won’t solve a thing. It makes it more challenging to solve, though" "Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry"

It was all kinds of "nignoggery"

I have never paid any attention to this detail, but I am nearing that point where I have more posts than jumps. I guess because I am currently not jumping due to work/travel constraints (work almost every weekend) I have found more time to post and stalk other dz.commers

I love your last pansy shot the best...the colors and clarity of the picture are magnificent!

I second that... sleeping has become a side thing

You talking to me Who else would I be talking to

I prefer to be the little spoon on the condition that you are the big spoon Oh, and can I ride the pony? ***

No tattoos here but I did get a graphic designer to create the Davinci quote logo on our DZ t-shirts.

I will be needing a beginner sippy cup for your Dorindaritas...you saw what a silly lightweight I was in Reno I am so excited to announce that we have booked the best band ever to play at a midwest boogie!! 90 Minutes. The band is playing on Saturday night @ 10:00. I am an unashamed groupie of this talented band and the girl singer is hott! You will be amazed at the range of bands, artists and genres they cover from 1990-99!! They all plan to make tandem skydives with us, so please welcome them into the family

We just got word that Larsen & Brusgaard, (industry leading manufacturer of altimeters & dytters) will be participating in our nightly give aways!! Looking forward to seeing everyone out, I will be there with the Go Fast guys!

For those that have pmed me with questions about details or my involvment, I have been advised to be quiet about the situation as there is an investigation in progress.

I agree with you...thankfully, I think that it is the exception. I know most of the dzos within a 200 mile radius. To my knowledge, all are doing things within the FAA laws, the BSR's and USPA regs. Independence was one of those exceptions. They crashed a poorly maintained 206 and killed 6 jumpers in 98. The few exceptions should not be allowed to fly under the radar until someone gets hurt or killed. We as an industry suffer for a few individuals sins.

I guess I would consider myself relatively new to the sport...less than 5 years and 50+ jumps. I cannot speak with authority on any disciplines in skydiving. I do however work on the business side and risk management is always in the back of my mind. I am accutely aware of the stigma attached to skydivers. We are seen as reckless, crazy, drug-induced dare devils to some people. I feel that my dz does their best to be professional, and safety conscience towards our students. I have recently heard reports of tandem students being allowed to drink beer at a local non-uspa dz before going up on their jump. They were told that "since they were going tandem it didn't matter if they drank one or two." This just seems crazy and reckless to me. Maybe this happens at other dz's outside of the midwest but I doubt any one will admit it on an open forum. The students also mentioned that there was absolutely no training administered, which I know happens at tandem mills across the country. However, especially in light of recent incidents, I know the manufacturer requires ALL students to at least watch the Relative Workshop/Strong tandem video explaining their waivers. Long story short, those students wisely went down the road and made their jump elsewhere, after seeing the aircraft belch oil all over the tarmac. I am here to discriminate against those Fandango type dz's that make the conscientious dz's look poorly as well. This may not be a popular view, but I know we do not need the FAA or any other governing body coming in to over-regulate us out of business. I fully expect to get flamed by people willing to defend their right to drink and skydive. I do have a problem with telling unwitting students that it is fine to do so. Students are scared, nervous and put their full confidence and trust in their instructors. That is scary!

Here's a truly funny clown... roflmao

They weren't open the last two weekends. The last weekend they had the otter, on Easter sunday, they stopped by our airport in Butler, doing several touch and go's before landing and taking back off again. Other than that, its been quiet.

The Bible does not teach hatred like that. It makes me ill to hear people using the Bible that way. I have heard that several of the family members are attorneys. They have also been known to video tape all of their protests to use any resistance against them or police interference against it in a court room. I want to know who would take their legal issues to people like this?!

Just because you can smell it doesn't mean it is harming you. When I put my dog out I can smell shit, but it's not the same as eating it. Huh? Rich people don't smoke? I would put forward that this has nothing at all to do with it. The primary factor seems to be - did your parents smoke. Mine did, which seemed to lead me to it. And realisticly, do you think people WANT to smoke? I hate it. I hate spending $5 a pack on killing myself. Studies have shown that it is more addictive than heroin, and I believe it. Zipp0 Don't blame your addictions on your parents...I grew up with a father who smoked a pack and a half a day. That is a cop out...he is the primary reason I never picked up the habit, seeing how hard it was for him to quit and living with the nasty smoke. He has finally had to quit or choose to die doing it. It has literally come down to his health and whether he wants to see his grandkids or not. He has not smoked since January 1 and I am very proud of him.
