True quote heard from our graphics designer in the office yesterday, "Caaaaarrrrrriiiie! Did you steal my rubber cement, again?" *sniff* *sniff*, "Ugh, no, um, wait, here it is on my desk...how'd that get here?" Ha ha ha ha ha! J/k...she really was missing her rubber cement and I always smell it when I go visit her in her office but I SWEAR I didn't take it....Ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha...and God bless, Cosmopolitan! Just kidding.

Just read it...if that's the case...my boy-toy should be the healthiest man on earth! Hey, if it's good for his health, it's a necessary thing. I wonder how many servings of my body he needs a day to stay fit? Whatever the requirement, I'll double it just to be safe I wouldn't want him to get sick and not be able to jump me...er, I mean jump.

I haven't looked at the attachment, yet...but I thought for sure you'd say, "SEX!"

Wow, Marz...glad you found a woman better off! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Awwww, now why would you dodge a thread I started?

Hell yea....gotta love "sausage in the middle,"....My favorite.

Hell yea, bring on the spoon, baby, yea! I'm very lucky to have a boy-toy that uses me as his own personal body pillow and holds on that way the entire night.

yea, when you reply, just uncheck the "recieve notice" box under your reply box.

I know....I've always loved being one of the few girls in any male-dominated sport, and I've always admired Isabella. On another good note, my good friend, Kaz, placed 25. YOU GO GIRLIE!

I jump at Skydive Deland, silly.

Oooo, now I got daddy, too. Yea, baby.

Hey, you HAVE to be quick-witted to put up w/ all the blonde jokes! Besides, Muenkel IS a girl's name, right?

Yes, there are a few of us...but I smell Andrea enough on the ground...I don't want to smell her stank in freefall.....Ha ha ha.....I'M TEASING...everyone knows I love the girl to death, that's what I pick on her so much!

Yup, I'm blonde...but I don't think that was a blonde moment...I just think you have some serious feminine qualities about you which could lead to confusion.

What? A girl could have the name "chris", too. How was I supposed to know? Ha ha ha ha. I thought it was a real dilemna....I should get revenge for causing me so much concern.....H ah ah aha.

HA HA HA HA HA....I didn't know it was a joke. Your profile doesn't say if you're a boy or girl (so I assumed you were the "her" side) and since i haven't been on the forums long, I didn't know from previous posts either so I thought this was your personal situation. Espcially b/c the term "I" was used in the post, intead of "her."

Fact of life, Old timers will always say, "those damn kids are doing those f*cking stupid things, again." I think we should all appreciate the variety in the sport. Some people swim freestyle, others like the backstroke but they're all SWIMMERS. I started freeflying on my 20th jump. I had about 2 hours total, tunnel time, at the time, all on my belly doing 2-way w/ myself in the mirror or flying w/ my newly made skydiving friends. (I had a job w/ the company that owns the tunnel so I was able to fly for free for a while.) I enjoyed the 10-way and 5-ways I did before I freeflied, but my goal was to be good enough to fly w/ these 3 freefliers at my dz who I really enjoyed. I told my boyfriend, he gave me some tips (about not-corking by staying small, etc.) and on my 20th jump, I sit-flyed the whole time. I got it right away b/c I'd seen it on video tons of times and jsut felt comfortable w/ it. I even went into a stand and came back to a sit. On the following jumps, as I tried new things in my sit, of course I lost balance and fell out but I knew to stay small and would get right back into position. To me, it was plenty safe, at 20 jumps to be freeflying b/c I only did so w/ my boyfriend who had 3,000+ jumps and I knew he was experienced enough to watch out for me and follow me around the sky. After a couple jumps like that, he started staying still, on a heading and making me come to him and stay by him and circle around him. I don't feel it would have been safe for me to learn freeflying if the person I learned w/ wasn't experienced enough to watch out for me. Even now, I can hold a head down but I refuse to fly head down w/ anyone but my boyfriend until I'm MUCH MORE consistent. I don't think it's an amount of jumps that determines if you're ready or not for something new in the air. If you've been flying on your belly for 1,000 jumps and never have tried to sit-fly, you're back at square one, just like someone w/ 50 jumps learning to sit-fly. In AFF, they graduate you on the basis that they think you're *aware* enought to be a skydiver, so why wouldn't you be *aware* enough to try freeflying, under the right conditions (ie. w/ someone very experienced.) I consider myself a safe skydiver and I don't see anything wrong w/ me freeflying at 20 jumps.

It's been my experience, that when the sausages want to train, THEY come to the girls, not the other way around.

Hmmmm, this might be true? Looks like you guys are just screwed....JUST TEASING!

Oh, and on Sept. 11, many airlines are offering tickets for free.

I agree and disagree. For me, it's being able to back up the words w/ actions. I like to hear, "I love you," from my boyfriend, but like you said, it needs to be backed up by actions. I think a healthy balance between the two is necessary, for me, at least. I tend to believe a man who can't say how he feels, IF HE'S SURE HE FEELS IT, has other issues. At the risk of being *analytical*, usually not being able to say "i love you" if you really feel it stems from something that occured in your past. Either, regection, fear of being rejected if you say so, or having loved before (parents or family) and not had them care for you in return. It takes a BIG person to put themselves out there, not knowing how others will react. It's certainly understandable why it's hard for some people...but I've always been impressed with you, Ray, so I'm sure, you won't have your "L-word" issues forever.

I think all skydivers are riots to be around.

Ha ha ha, Pammi! Yea, salt water fish tanks can be difficult but no so much if you make them more of a coral tank cute little fish, than if you want bigger fish and less coral. The coral sort of adds a homeostasis and makes it more self-caring than w/out it. Plus, if you *really* want to, you can hire people to come once a month and take care of your tank. But, I refuse to pay someone else for something I can do myself so I will probalby just learn the proper way to do it. I'd LOVE to have one in the bedroom or in a hallway wall so that you can see it from the living room and another room. My middle school had a HUGE salt water tank in the entrance where they had a lot of coral and even a small shark (about 2.5 feet in length.)

Ha ha ha....I know the difference, too. I wanted to be a marine veterinarian for my entire life until college, when I had to work, WAY TOO HARD in my chemistry class.
