Good luck with AFF, let us know how it goes ... I'm managing editor for a health and slimming mag - and it's NOT as boring as it sounds Kerry

*rolls around clutching tummy* .... Kerry

sounds like u had an interesting trip me 0:1:0. Would have been more jumps, and I was hoping to have 3sec and 5 sec out the way, but the weather wasn't co-operating ... we were a sorry-looking bunch on sunday - very hungover and very bored Kerry

Yup, they do, but we all know it's a back-up only. Do your drills over and over and over and over on the ground before you get in the plane .... and no, none have fired since I've been there, or that I've heard of ... BTW - we do have AFF as well, but I can't afford it ... Kerry

Ok, I asked someone .... The break of no alti till 15 sec is to instill a discipline of time awarness which is very important. It is also not that long delay that it poses a great threat. Its all time awarness and knowing to "eyeball" it with the horizon. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this no alti thing .. k Kerry

NOpe, we get them on jump nr1, then nothing until we do our 10/15sec delay (not sure) .... not sure of the reasoning behind it, but that's the way it works at our DZ ... as far as the canopy flying goes ... try once to fix it, if it still doesn't fly, perform full reserve drill procedure. Also use the 5 sec rule with things like line twists ... no improvement in 5 seconds, full reserve drills ... landing pattern ... learn to judge with your eyes .... I still initiate it too early, and end up doing slow S-turns ... but I'm getting better at it - landed right next to the pit on Saturday (yay!) SA guys - do you have the same thing at your DZ's? (no alti's on SL jumps?) ... now I'm curious Kerry

Good luck with the studying, whatever you decide, don't give up on that. There is nothing wrong with moving back in with the folks, no matter what others may think. Bottom line is you are taking steps to move further in your life, and doing what it takes to get there. Go Girl!!! I'm studying next year, but unfortunately my folks live on the other side of the country, so I just have to bite the bullet, continue working, cut back on a few luxuries, and spend my evenings studying. It's going to be difficult, but the end result will be worth it - ie a good qualification and a shit hot salary

Ok rub it in why don't you!??! Kerry

*sigh* my favourite song ....

I apparently called my mother a fornicator when I was about 4. Had absolutely no idea what it meant, and not entirely sure where I heard it either Kerry

thanks Sunshine - I can drive, but I have been told, by various far-too-nervous-yes-whuffo-passengers that I drive too fast. I don't get that. If you are going somewhere, then go there. No need to dawdle right? We won't discuss the nr of tickets and summons notifications I have stashed in my cubbyhole ... Kerry

if u trust my driving .... and straight to the DZ ... (figure I'm safe there) Kerry

I dont have a list (I burned it - the ex who fit most of the criteria is well, an ex. The same ex who told me that if I went in he'd piss on my grave - PRICK!) Learnt from that experience, now I just intend living my life the way I am, and when I meet "the one", well, I'm hoping that I'll know it. Not going looking though ... I love my life the way it is .. Kerry
-
Gawd, you don't ask for much do you? sheesh! Oh and forget about calling you Master. Just aint gonna happen Kerry
-
I've given up on all that ... my "one" is gonna have to come find me! Yeah, on the dz .... prob is, we got a really small dz, and most married/involved etc .... *oh well* there ain't nothin wrong with being single! Kerry
-
*shakes her head* .... hell, I won't even pierce my ears, let alone anything else. OK, I'm a baby - can't stand needles of any sort! OUCH!!!!! I'm feeling the pain from the other side of the ocean! Kerry
