JUMPNFLY, I HEAR YOU! Who knows... I should have said, *except when it comes to relationships* men are VERY easy to figure out.

Ha ha ha...You're all right, beer, bong, get along...it's all good to me.

Nope....it has nothing to do w/ any of the major threads...just one in particular that pretty much EVERYONE who responded was being very judgemental. Ironically, it's as if I'm judging them for being judemental. Ha ha ha....but seriously, don't we all get enought of that shit outside of the DZ. Who wants it from fellow skydivers? I mean, the rest of the world doesn't understand us anyways so LOVE YOUR SKYDIVING BROTHA'S AND SISTA'S will you?

What is it w/ all men wanting a big twig to go w/ their berries? Learn how to work what you've got before you go blaming it on the size. MOST WOMEN DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MAN'S SHLONG! As long as you know how to work your rooster, IT'S ALL GOOD. If you can make her squeal, you've done your job. Quit worrying about shrinkage or performance anxiety or all that other bull shit. Just work it, baby, YEA!

Ha ha ha. Let me put it this way. For a lot of men, it's VERY hard to get a point across w/out being mean. Women who try to drop subtle, polite hints to a man in a bar that she is not interested, usually end up being bothered by that man the rest of the night. For some men, being a bitch is the only way to get a point across to them. Now that the background information is out of the way...the "my boyfriend" comment comes in to play when, the girl might think you're cute, she might not, either way, she has a boyfriend and doesn't want to feel that she's leading you on. Why would a simple conversation lead you on? B/c some men, mentioned in background information, just take, ANYTHING as a sign that you want them. If you smile politely in a guy's direction, he might automatically think, "she wants me" and proceed to approach the woman and make some sly remark. And so, the boyfriend comment is a defense mechanism, like, "i'm talking to you as a friend, not b/c I'm interested." It all sounds complicated, but then again, women are the most complicated creatures on earth. For the most part, I don't understand them myself. You men should just accept that you'll never figure us out. Me personally, I don't mention the boyfriend. It's pretty obvious, at the DZ that I'm BZs girl. I'm a BIG flirt, but that's as far as it goes and I don't feel I need to mention BZ b/c it's obvious, the difference between the attention I pay him, and the attention I pay other men. Outside of the DZ, to people who don't see me w/ my boyfriend, I rarely mention him unless it's pertinent to the conversation. It's funny, though. I go to Starbucks EVERY morning and see the same scammers there and we always have friendly conversation. Then one morning BZ came w/ me and the next day, every one of them asked, "So was that your boyfriend?"

Okay...I've spent a little time reading some of the posts and didn't respond b/c I didn't want to be involved in the drama. I would just like to say, here, one thing to make me feel better: No matter what size, age, skin color, sex, ugly/pretty/handsome, nice/mean, tall/short or WHATEVER, everyone faces judgement from others and everyone faces roadblocks. If you're ugly and you think handsome men have it easier, you're wrong. If you're tall and you think short people have it easier, you're wrong. If you're black and you think white people have it easier, you're wrong. Everybody gets judged. Can we please try not to judge each other on this forum? Everybody judges, some more than others. I am guilty of it too, but conciously, I always try not to. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG, or am I really being WAY too much of an idealist here? I should mention that this post came as a result of one thread in particular, not one that I responded in, but pretty much everyone in that thread caused me to write this.

Sometimes I wear mine, sometimes I don't. When I wear it, I like feeling that I'm wearing something that means something close to me. When I don't , it's usually b/c, like Stacy said, it's not appropriate for work. I have a mini, sterling silver closing pin that cost about $30 (it was a gift, I didn't pay for it.) That closing pin is on my kitty cat, Sabre's colar. My closing pin is the regular size and cost $5. For $5, why not wear it?

Geez...didn't mean to start a cat fight. Since I started this thread, here's my two sense: Any web cam is better than NO CAM! I realize it's not the best coverage, but I'm just stoked I get to see anything at all because I can't be there. It makes me feel a littel closer to the action.

Ha ha ha. Thanks Dave. I should have done that. It's not the best coverage, but at least it's something.

"mistake somewhere" HA HA HA! I like that. I'm like that in general, but when it comes to money, I'm very precise. If I'm going to be able to jump every week, I need to keep track of where my money goes, how my investments are doing (b/c when I get returns, that means more jumps), etc. In this case, I'm glad I checked b/c the person who was supposed to have received a transfer from my two months ago, did not receive it and I thought they did. Turn out I had forgotten to send an e-mail to transfer, even though I wrote it in my register. Every time I see someone bouncing a check at the DZ, I'm thankful for my accurate accounts of my money.

HA! I love that. Everyone said pretty much what I would have said. However, I have one to add: A guy at my DZ said the idea of the pin is to always wear it. If someone crashes in, the first person to approach that person is supposed to take their pin necklace and wear it forever to keep that person close to the sport and their friends. I've never heard that from anyone else but I thought I'd add it to the mix.

Hi guys, BZ called me from the Ranch after a briefing and said they had set up a swoop cam on the pond. You can access it by going to the Skydive The Ranch website. It will be running, live, for the entire competition. CHECK IT OUT! BZ and his teammates, Rob Herrick, Scott Miller and Vladi Pesa are numbers 33, 34, 35 and 36, so watch for them. Look for #35, that's my boy-toy. Much love and blue skies!

I FOUND IT!!! Whew! It happened in May. I had transfered $50 from one account to another. The $50 showed up in one account but didn't show that it had been taken from the account I transfered it from. I called the person whose account it was supposed to be transfered to, and sure enough, I was right. Sooooooo, I got an extra $50! I don't know where the other .95 cents is but at this point, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! My account hasn't had any activity for a week so everything is caught up and I have the correct balance now. Thanks for your support guys. I know it's been silly but I feel much better now.

Cute, Rhino, and pretty true. I believe you make your own luck. Very rarely are things handed to you.

Ha ha ha! I do. But a lot of my luck is self-made. Also, it's possible I have so many problems that even the littlest thing frustrates me. Nah, neither are true. But you can't tell about a person's problems simply by the things that frustrate them. Maybe b/c of my problems, I've become a perfectionist? Or maybe I don't have any problems and I like to create them subconsciously? Ha ha ha. Seriously, I'm not getting all emotional on your ass, just trying to get a point across w/out starting an arguement over it. Let us not compare our sad stories but instead allow a place for people to vent w/out putting them down or comparing their problems to yours. Seriously, though, you can almost never tell where a person has come from or what they've gone through unless they tell you straight up. Otherwise, you're just assuming and probably doing so wrong.

That is EXACTLY what I might end up doing. And "yet" isn't forever...my system has NEVER failed in 10 years until now. (I know what you're thinking...10 years ago I was 12 years old, but yes, at 12, I had a checking account. My father used to be the head of a banking software company. Since he was NEVER in town, it was necessary for me to have one.)

I totatlly agree. My "words" were a bit general, but they got my point across.

ME TOO...and wouldn't you be pissed, if after all that organization, you had an extra $50?

GEEZ, what dirty minds. I was just thinking of Rice-A-Roni and Kraft Mac-N-Cheese. HA HA HA HA. Who am I kidding?

Yea, part of me says, f*ck it, if it's there in 3 months, I'll spend it. But I know me, and I know I won't rest until I figure it out. At this point, though, it HAS to be a bank mistake in my favor, even though they don't show that, because I've checked all my shit twice and it's all correct.

I didn't think it was possible to look good in an RW suit. JUST KIDDING...NOT TRYING TO START FREEFLY/RW WARS HERE!

Apparently it's gone to Isle 7.

HA HA HA HA HA! I Like that one, Smurf. I must say though, I enjoy a good bitch session every now and then. It helps open the pores.

MEOW.
