And thats all they will ever need....a friend. Everyone seeks comfort in their peers. You are doing good right now by jsut being there for her. She is seeking professional help...let them help her..thats what they are there for. You...should be there for the comforting and letting them know that they will always have someone to talk to and do things with. IMO you are doing what you should be doing!

When you have more posts than jump numbers it means .....
floridadiver81 replied to chanti's topic in The Bonfire
The only time anyone really notices that is when someone is seemingly losing a retarded internet fight and they need something to make fun of the person..or prove them wrong...then go look at that. If the post outweigh the jump numbers they automatically think that they are stupid or inexperienced. My excuse is work. If i have to work nights on the weekends...at least 8 times out of 10 it will be a boring night..so i used dz.com as a form of entertainment to pass the time. I have 4 jumps and im alsmot at like 900 posts or something like that.....it just goes to show that i have alot of free time at work on the weekends...

So i had a laptop on ebay to sell. The auction lasted three days. It ended last night. So after it ended i get an email from ebay saying that the listing was completely removed because something with the high bidder account and it being used without the account holders knowledge. This is the message i got from ebay: Dear navyromeogls (floridadiver81@dropzone.com), The results of the following listing(s) have been cancelled due to bidding activity that took place without the account owner's authorization: 180122821374 EMachine Laptop 1.6GHZ/512RAM/DVD Burner We have cancelled the listing(s) to maintain the integrity of the eBay site, your account, and the bidder’s account that was accessed. We are working to restore the bidding account to its rightful owner, and we are working with the account owner to prevent any additional unauthorized activity. Since the account owner did not initiate these bids, all fees resulting from the listings in question will be credited to your account within 7 days. If you do not see the credits posted to your account after 7 days, please feel free to contact us through ‘Contact Us’ in our Help section. There was more to the message...but nothing pertaining to the auction itself. Then i get this message....from the supposed seller....in NIGERIA: Dear Seller, I am happy to be the lucky winner of your item.I have read and known the description of the item before i bid on it and sorry for not informing you before i do so. I will be shipping the item to my client in West Africa (Nigeria) and i will be making the payment via PayPal with USD 100 for shipping cost via USPS/EMS .Kindly get back to me with the shipping tracking number of the item as soon as you receive the confirmation of my payment via PayPal so that i can update my client that the item has been shipped. Here is the shipping address below: Name:Matthew Orimolade Address: No 35, Abimbola street. Odo-Ona,Apata State:Oyo City:Ibadan Country:Nigeria Zip Code:23402 Firstly...he names do not match up. Secondly..sending 100 dollars when the shipping i listed was only 20??? Even if i did send it internatioal the shipping would not be that much. And thirdly the state that they are buying it for someone else....yeah right. And now i get a bogus email from paypal saying that i was paid for the item...but yet al the links that are supposed to go to paypal link to a site "www.email.com". Not one link in that email goes to where it is supposed to be. Moral of this...even sellers can get screwed over ifyou dont have the knowledge of what to look for specifically. Let this be a lession to everyone. Make sure you verify every step of the transaction...not just just the payment part. In this case i was sent an email from a bogus email account pretending to be paypal.

3 ring...did i assemble correctly?
floridadiver81 replied to floridadiver81's topic in Gear and Rigging
I am learning a lot. Thats my purpose for coming into these parts of the forums. Im a sponge...i have done a lot of research...i have been since the day i did my tandem. I come in here when i have a question and to learn from others. I tried attaching the risers to the container because im intrigued how the system works. I learned why it how and why it works. You say you know people with 1000's of jumps that wouldnt attempt to do what i did. I like knowing how things work..and you cant fully understand how something works until you either tear it apart and rebuild it or build it from the start. I was talking to a gentleman on the phone about this ver subject among others. I want to learn as much as i can about the gear that i jump...even gear i dont jump. There is no suck thing as useless knowledge when it come to skydiving...if not for my own purposes...for someone else that may have a question. I know im new in the sport and i shouldnt know as much as i do...and yes i know i shouldnt be investing in gear this fast..but it is my choice. I know enough to have gear checked out before it is jumped regardless of what i think i know. Im human..i may be wrong...anyone can be wrong. Dawn..i didnt take anything you said offensive simply because of how you worded it. I wish other would follow your same suit.

3 ring...did i assemble correctly?
floridadiver81 replied to floridadiver81's topic in Gear and Rigging
[reply Looking at other jumpers gear is good as its good to be observant but remember not all gear is the same. There is such a thing as Integrity risers (reverse risers), they face the other way round. Very popular in Europe on PDf containers. So if you are going to copy other peoples set up make sure you are comparing to the same model container. Even if i looked at other gear it still in accordance with the containers owners manual...like i have stated a few times in this thread. -

3 ring...did i assemble correctly?
floridadiver81 replied to floridadiver81's topic in Gear and Rigging
For the record...there is no main canopy on the rig. The risers are correct because they were flat when i installed them and the risers with the toggles are facing back...like they are under canopy. I know the proper risers are on the proper side because the rsl ring are both facing in..not out. The reason why i know that is becasue i was out at my dz this pas saturday and i looked at how another jumper's risers were set up...that and it was the same on the visual references that i got from the owners manual that was sent to me.
