You're lucky. For me, we're talking between 20-years old and 26-years old. Those are some crazy years. All I can say is: Thank GOODNESS Billy stuck out the 22-year-old year with me. NEV-A! Me too. Billy reads this and my father's a smarty so I'm sure he's figured it out, too. Of course, I don't keep much from either of them. Actually, I keep nothing from Billy.... You know what's scary is I really do keep nothing from Billy and yet he still finds me irresistably charming. I think he's crazy. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Yeah, I didn't want to draw attention to it, but in one of the resurrected threads I made a statement long ago that made me cringe. I think it's cool that we all evolve and not always for better or worse, just older & wiser.

These old resurrected threads have me reading some of my old posts. I've been on this site, I'm pretty sure, since the beginning. I see some familiar names & faces, but a lot has changed. DZ.com, for me, is like having an online journal or something. I was 20 when I first started posting here (freshly 26 now). I'd just started jumping. Then I'd just met Billy. Then I'd just met Skymama (who wasn't green back then and had less jumps then me.). I was just about to start my junior year of college (the good, informative stuff.). I was just learning more about grammar/spelling. I was just learning more about sociology & psychology. And I definitely wasn't too much of a techy/html/link/etc. person. Well, I'm still not a fan, but at least I know how to do everything now. And it's funny b/c that webpage I used to have linked was a college assignment (that I converted for DZ.com). I was supposed to build a website from scratch using only html code. I had NO CLUE what html code was at the time. And finally at 23, after graduation, I'd just bought my house and was finally no longer a poor, college skydiver. It's SO funny to read from then to now. Some things DEFINITELY haven't changed and some have. Anybody else get a kick out of reading some of their old stuff? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I know...thank goodness she didn't resurrect [edit] that ONE thread. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That looks COLD and so cool. I'm a fair-weathered athlete. I only golf when the conditions are right. I only surf when the conditions are right. I only scuba when the conditions are right annnnnnnd I only skydive when the conditions are right. Thus, "too hot" or "too cold" doesn't work for me. Luckily I live in Florida so "too cold" doesn't happen too often and it has to be REALLY sweat-your-sack-off hot for it to be "too hot" for me. I have a lot of hobbies, so most of the time if it's not right for one, it's perfect for another.

It was in the "Show us your pet" thread. I posted one of me and my kitty. After the 5th hour I deleted. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Yes! I win again. This thread rocks. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Boss, no. Mistress, yes. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Sad. Very sad. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Sweet! But, I need to see the recent sky-face ASAP to get an accurate picture. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Your head's probably all tucked away in your shell anyways. Now if I really wanted to see your sky-face, I know just how to twist your tail, Turtle. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Sabre only goes out for an hour or so/day; always in the early morning or late evening so he seems to do OK. I'm waiting to get the "after" shots of my sister-in-law's big fluffy kitty so I can post the before & after in the "allergic to wife's cat" thread. Charlie looks SOOOOO cute w/ his hair cut and fluff only around the face, paw tips and tip-of-his-tail. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I started to reply to one: FreakSis! Froggie! Pammi! FFF! What up dawgs! I always forget to look at that silly "date posted" thingie. Damn you Chrissylicious! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Love it! And yes, I always win. House rule. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Your sky-face looks good w/ a beard. It defines the cheeks. Zep, I can't believe your cheeks aren't flapping. I call Botox on your old-timer bootie. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That's the most boring sky-face I've ever seen. Your hair's not even blowing. I call BS. You're not quite in the sky yet, now are you? Doesn't count. RECALL! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Every party has a pooper, that's why we invited you. Party poo-per. Party Poo-per. We ALL have a sky-face, silly.

She is GORGEOUS! Her fluffy hair is just like Sabre's.

I have a ton of me b/c of BZ. Sucks to be you. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

She is SO cute! I love cuddly cats.

I love it! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You're welcome. Holy cow. OK, I was like 20 years old when I posted these. Obviously I was more naive about posting freely on the internet back then---of course, back then DZ.com was just a handful of us so we were a tight bunch. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Love it! Come on' people, more sky-faces! We all have one! And jumpwally---I posted one just a minute ago; hurry before I delete it in 6 hours. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
