I can't read the ads. Anything good on sale? TPM Sister #102

I can't name one famous thing about Idaho, except perhaps the potato. TPM Sister #102

But I *like* uniforms. Oooo--let's have a James Bond night. No uniforms, but lots of tuxedos and martinis and fast, improbable cars. TPM Sister #102

LOL You can order me to randomness! I'm secure enough in my hotness for that. SO, I wonder who'll be up at the dz tomorrow and what the winds are doing. TPM Sister #102

Just the BEST STORE EVER They have a whole "Bra Lounge." I was right. Definitely missing out!!! TPM Sister #102

D'oh! Found La Senza online. TPM Sister #102

I need more high heels. TPM Sister #102

What's La Senza? I get the feeling that I'm missing out. TPM Sister #102

Mmmmmmm. Squishy. . . . TPM Sister #102

SCORE! I love Michael Buble. That reminds me--I think it's Josh Groban who does a wonderful version of O Holy Night. Now I have to go find that. Oh, and my popcorn came out great. I was starving. TPM Sister #102

11:00 a.m. And while we're on the random subject of shopping, do you know anything about those pajamagrams? Are they any good? TPM Sister #102

Absolutely. Pics are a must. TPM Sister #102

Nah. I'm in the mood for--oh, wait, honey. Yum! Okay, more random thoughts. I hear some stuff at Bath & Body Works is going to be 1/2 off tomorrow. Doesn't help tonight, though. TPM Sister #102

Squishy! Is that interchangeable with "juicy?" TPM Sister #102

LOL Okay, what's in your glass? (Not that you don't have a point about Chicago.) TPM Sister #102

Batteries? For the camera, of course. TPM Sister #102

Heaven help us. TPM Sister #102

I'm really certain there must be some reason that he has to come back to your place. I'm sure he needs a signature or something. Just wait 'til I get there. . . . TPM Sister #102

That belongs in the "hazardous" thread. I'm kind of afraid of what he's saving up for 30,000, and yet simultaneously intrigued . . . like viewing a car accident. TPM Sister #102

Be right over. And in the meantime, perhaps you could DESCRIBE said FedEx man. I mean, just so we can identify him if he shows up at MY door as well. TPM Sister #102

Ooooo--did it come from THAT store again? TPM Sister #102

So, has this great milestone been reached yet or is he saving up his posts until he has something pithy to say? TPM Sister #102

Yeah it takes a while but then i grow on people....kinda like mold.

Yes, there are other factors to adjust for when jumping as opposed to flying in the tunnel. Being altitude aware is one of the important ones. Having a student rig on feels a little different but I don't expect the learning curve to be that great to adjust to wearing it when freeflying. A rig certainly hasn't been a hinderance on my belly. I can't imagine that I will have to start all over to learn to fly again just because there's a rig in place. I don't minimize the fact that there are considerations in the air that you don't have in the tunnel. Just as with any other skydiver, there will be some people who "forget" how much time they have before it's time to pull. I just can't buy the argument that tunnel rats are inherently more aggressive and dangerous under canopy. Every new student needs to learn situational awareness. That's not unique to students who are used to the tunnel. That awareness can and should come with instruction, coaching and training, no matter whether the student has tunnel time or not. TPM Sister #102

Wrong person to direct that one to. I'd take the tunnel any day. Much warmer! But yes, I know that's abnormal. You, then Bolas. . . . Copper will never be the same. TPM Sister #102
