    Fireworks

    You can buy them in Ohio if you sign a waiver that states you will not set them off in Ohio. Watch out for one called "The Big Griz." It is damn near professional grade and will scare the hell out of the little old lady next door. Big Ed
  2. Nope, it only gets better from here. Big Ed

    Taxes....

    I'm self employed and have to make estimated tax payments four times a year. I know how much I pay and it sucks to see people on welfare abusing the system when I bust my ass to pay for them to not work and to breed the next generation of welfare recipients. Big Ed
  4. There goes another urban legend. Big Ed
  5. If it's muscle pain, you might try yoga or some other form of stretching before jumping. Getting old sucks. Big Ed
  6. I'm with you. My directv has a scout that searches titles and descriptions for the following words: skydive, skydiving and parachute. I just look at the guide and it tells me when something is going to be on that is worth watching. Big Ed
  7. When the cake jumps out of the girl, that's funny. Big Ed
  8. New Years Day, mini lights are cheap, throw the old ones away and buy new ones for next year. It's not worth the trouble to pull every light out of the strand next year to find the one that is burned out. Big Ed
  9. Have you checked this out? Big Ed
  10. I have a similar set up with a laptop, Delorme GPS, two digital cameras, a 1000 ft measuring tape, flashlights and waterproof boots with mud all over them. I might be screwed. Big Ed
  11. Yeah there is nothing like looking like an ass in front of 20 million people. Big Ed
  12. I got my sportrx goggles over the weekend and I was wearing them around the yard and the depth perception makes the ground seem closer than it actually is. It's going to take some getting used to. Now if I can stop staring at the ground when I'm getting ready to flare, I'll be ok. Big Ed
  13. A friend of mine got the xbox about a month ago and I haven't seen or heard from him since then. Big Ed
  14. You have to hang on to the grass to keep from falling off the face of the earth. -or- You put one foot on the floor to stop the room from spinning and realize its the wrong foot and then put the other foot on the floor to correct the spin. Merry Christmas Big Ed
  15. No, it happend on the other side the world. Big Ed
  16. Thanks, I'll be sure to try them out around the house before I jump them. Merry Christmas Big Ed
  17. Now that would be funny. Although I'm a little worried. I'm 250 lbs. and losing my hair. Mental note to self, make sure no one has pictures of me they can post. Big Ed
  18. Bummer about your mom. As for your real family, call them on Christmas, it's always good to hear a familiar voice around the holidays. As for getting drunk and watching tv, I recommend the movie "Heathers" with the felon Winona Ryder. It's a dark comedy that always makes me laugh. Be well and have a good holiday. Big Ed
  19. What kind of prescription goggles did you get? I just ordered a pair of SportRx G103s. I wear the over sized cheap goggles over my regular glasses now and occasionally air gets past the goggles and causes my eyes to water while in free fall. I liked the sample pair sportrx sent me and after I ordered the prescription pair, they told me I could keep the sample pair. Big Ed
  20. Does she have an MP3 player, or an X-box. Maybe her very one cell phone or savings bonds. My grandmaw used to buy those for me, at the time I thought they sucked but I learned to like them later on. Big Ed
  21. Thanks. They are great dogs. Have a nice x-mas. Big Ed
  22. 4k student jump. The ground looks big at 4k when you only had 11 jumps prior to that. Big Ed
