Prolly going to come to SDD and find the 'sistah so he can try to get cozy! lol haha i got the leash ready for his ass sis

Well, I just need to vent! TGIF!! If it wasn't Friday I think I might go into terminal bitchosity. (yeah that is a real medical term, just ask all the whuffos who I have dealt with today!!) I have had a just awful week. Here at work, the shelter has been packed to the brim with screaming children and abused women, and the crisis hotline has been ringing off the wall. At home, my whuffo roommate has been trying to convince me that skydiving is the root of all my problems (ROFLMAO!!!! hahahaha) and that I should lay off until "you get your shit together." I didn't know I lost my shit, but hey, I would rather SHE find my shit than me, 'cause that's gross! I was beginning to think all hope had faded for this low-time jumper whose weather forecast all week was for RAIN RAIN RAIN all weekend! Yikes! (again? damn its going to be green in a month or so) Anyway, then my good old buddy Bwilling sends me an instant message, saying, "You know your obsession? No, the OTHER one..." (I am thinking, which one? skydiving, sex or the weather?) I thought, must be the weather! So I checked it...and this is what I saw: Sherman (Dallas) TX: Sat 3-3-01 Partly Cloudy, wind 4 mph, high 62 Sun 3-4-01 Partly Cloudy, wind 8 mph, high 67 SIXTY SEVEN FREAKIN' DEGREES??!!! wooohoo!!!! low winds??

my prayers are with him...

No, you're not talking B.S. here PatKat...in fact what you just wrote is exactly what I have been trying to explain to my whuffo best friend for two days. We are in the midst of a "discussion" (ah, debate maybe) about my "addiction" to skydiving. I have been having some problems with college (motivation level) and other things. I have a very stressful job, as I work a rape crisis/domestic violence hotline which is located inside a domestic violence shelter. So at any given time I am talking to drug addicts, suicidal mental cases, rape victims, parents whose kids have been molested by god knows who you name it, and then dealing face to face with about 20 women and their children who are staying at the shelter. When I get off work at midnight, I have nothing left to give it seems like. I just want to play...on the internet, making my hemp jewelry, etc. So I am having a hard time with school, and my roommate/best friend (?) blames it on skydiving, and says I either need to quit or take a break for awhile until I can "get my shit together." I said oh well you automatically think its skydiving huh, not MY JOB? possibly? or something else? maybe everthing together?? I said, at least I don't come home and immediately raid the liquor cabinet and start pounding down some heavy drugs to deal with the stress in my life. She says yeah, well, anytime something goes wrong you say, "I wish I could just JUMP!" I said, oh that is bad? Where was I going with this here?? Oh yeah, I am trying to make her understand how powerful skydiving is to one who does it. She does respect the fact that I am not going to quit or whatever, but as we all know whuffos cannot understand how compelling jumping is to us. So I am going to print this thread and let her read it, as a last ditch effort to see what skydiving means to people, straight from the jumper's mouth. I do realize it probably won't work, but I am trying one last time. I mean, my parents understand, why can't my best friend?? argh! Once she does that tandem on her birthday I bet she changes her mind!! Sorry for the soapbox, guys, I guess I am a little toasty. Sentimental or something. Love and Blue skies, sistah

that's a great story Pat! hahaha!! wow, too cool! luv ya'll, sis

ya'll are slaying me!! i haven't laughed this hard since some other post i read! hahahahahaha!!! people puke in planes all the time i am told but THANK GOD no one has puked on me yet. god carrie you poor thing! that would soooooo piss me off. i don't know how i would react. probably the same way you did unless i had PMS or i too was hungover. i rarely make the first load of the day, because i like to sleep but also because i don't want to jump w/a hangover. i did once and the pilot gave me those cute little puke baggies from airliners just in case. how sweet...i thankfully didn't need them but i was afraid i would. so now, no more first loads if i am feeling puny. lol!!!!!!!!!!!! sis

touchy touchy u must need some

I did static line too, and I used a ripcord until my 23rd jump...held onto it every time, too!

Gee Aggie Dave, who must that have been? I admit though, I always thought it was funny when they would tell new students you could land on a cloud and make another jump, with your reserve or with plastic bag. One person actually believed that and no one had the heart to tell him it wasn't true! That is a cruel cruel dropzone...

My favorite thing to do when drunk: drive (just kidding! hahahaha) i like blare loud music or have sex but the guy has to be relatively sober so it doesn't suck sis

poor omri...he may not get to jump for another 2 years! we have to keep our fingers crossed for him...the dz is "considering" letting him jump, if i understand it correctly. he'll explain it for ya

How the hell do all you people get these giant tax returns? I was elated to find out I was getting $712 back (that's five hundred more than last year). You must have kids or something! Or maybe you just don't take any exemptions on your W-2 so you can get more back as a refund. I dunno, but like they said, it was yours to begin with. The government pisses me off!

eeewwwwwww yuck! the 80s were horrible weren't they? leg warmers, blue eyeshadow, and whatever the hell they were thinking when they made that poster, well i just can't imagine. way to go pammi, you got em good! sis

rock on frank! i will share only the best brew with you, bro! lol that was a tounge twister sis

uh, yeah...they are washing the plane in their thong bikinis, washing EACH OTHER in their thong bikinis, you get the picture. the best part is the end when they are in a hot tub and they are, um....you're too young for this Omri! sis

Oh man!!!!!!! ROFLMAO!! I haven't laughed that hard in ages!! way to go! thanks! sis

What is YOUR DZ doing for safety day? I think Dallas has some great ideas here for getting people out on safety day. Build it, and they will come...(give it away free and they will come) Yeah people should go anyway, but let's face it, not everybody will!

Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 20:09:38 EST That's right, March 10th, you can get one free jump from either our Super Otter or Caravan. All you have to do is take your rig to our gear check station. If you meet the manufacturers recommendations on placarded weights on your main and reserve, you get a free jump. It's that simple. (Before you ask, No, you don't get two jumps if you have two rigs.) You can earn a $10 jump from the turbines just by attending the seminars, and practicing your emergency procedures. We want to encourage everyone to give a little thought towards their own safety, and taking care of the friends around us. We have a lot planned for Safety Day! Seminars on: Freefly Safety Emergency Procedures Canopy Control (Including High Performance Canopies) Videography Safety Aircraft Procedures Gear and Equipment Choices and Maintenance Mental and Physical Preparedness Some of these seminars will be panel discussions, so you'll get to hear more than one point of view. The objective isn't to preach the same old stuff to you, but to get everyone to share ideas and information. We've designed the seminars so that they will appeal to all levels of skydivers from student to expert and beyond. We want to make sure everyone comes out and participates, so we plan to keep it upbeat, and fun. THIS ISN'T THE SAME OLD BORING SAFETY MEETING. We'll provide Beer and Music after the seminars. Bo's back by popular demand to feed us. He said to tell everyone that he's going to feed us a first class dinner at special prices, because he wants to keep all his skydiving buddies safe. If you've eaten with Bo before, you know he's not kidding about how good the food is. Just sign up for dinner at the Cafe. We haven't worked out all the scheduling details, so keep tuned for more information. We'll probably have a "Plan B" in the event of bad weather, so plan on being here rain or shine. I'll update you as soon as we work out the details. Remember: SAFETY DAY at SKYDIVE DALLAS, on Saturday, March 10, 2001. Come out for a great day of skydiving, and then an evening of camaraderie, and sharing. Be there! If you have any questions, or recommendations about topics, give us a call. See you on the 10th!

what is your favorite real skydiving movie? Good Stuff by Joe Jennings Chronicle III Willing To Fly ANY Quincy film you own bad ass in action-andy will like this 1 Pack Like a Pro HAHAHA! quit, my brain hurts! don't make me choose! i can't choose between Good Stuff and Chronicle III, myself! I love the way Chronic.3 starts with the atomic bomb but the naked chicks i could do without (did I just say that? LOL) BLUE ONES!!!!!! sis krishan where are YOU????!!!!

yeah i think my scr jump video is my favorite. i am acting (pretending i know what the fuck i am doing) very well! thank god for my 10000jump coach to hold onto me! LOL i voted for wesley though...can't be that egotistical. hey i am going to go make a new poll! just had an idea [light bulb]

well...i didn't quit drugs because of skydiving, i quit (most) drugs before i started jumping. i see the jumping/drugs thing ya'll are talking about but just to be fair i know a lot of jumpers who don't drink or do anything else. maybe they did it in the past, i don't know. anyway, i will smoke some bud and drink some brew and once in awhile i might do something a little more crazy like x or acid if its handy and i don't have to be up the next day, etc. but i don't get addicted from just doing it one time every so often...i won't get on a load with anyone visibly intoxicated either, thank you very much i have kicked many addictions over the years and like others here, i have bounced around from hobby to hobby all my life. my best friend told me i would get over jumping, that pissed me off. this is IT! i will never stop jumping unless i am forced to sis

yup told my mom the same thing! i said remember when you used to ask me ________ (fill in bridge statement) if you asked me now i would say hell yeah!!!!!!!!! but i answered the poll with "only the best kind" sis

oh yeah, i forgot all about that... i got pulled over in a small hick ass town driving back from dallas one weekend. it was a monday and i had to be at work by 4 PM so i was crusing. the dude (it wasn't texas dps it was like childress city police) is only like 30, young you know? i think, cool...well he says the usual, etc. 80 in a 70, blah blah. then he says oh so you skydive? don't they have someplace to do that WHERE YOU LIVE? i said, NO, if they did i wouldn't drive 350 miles to do it...he says, what does that THING on your neck mean? i told him what it was and he says, OH, i thought it had some kind of religious significance. i said, NO, then it would be a cross...(duh) anyway, so i can't find the damn insurance card...he says look for it and meet me at the back of the car (??what the F?) i find it and walk back there, he acts surprised i don't have any warrants or something, and then asks me, "SO, do you smoke dope?" i just sort of stood there, like huh? i said NO...then i realize well i have on shorts, a sleeveless t-shirt with a huge red arrow pointing DOWN (at you know what) and tevas...so my tattoos are showing (one of them is a moon smoking a joint)he said, oh well aren't you an adrenaline junkie? i said, i dunno, never thought about it but i guess so...he says, WELL>>> most of those adrenaline junkies smoke dope,i guess to come down or whatever...i just stood there, thinking is this for real? am i dreaming??? i said nah, most of the ones i know don't, one is the district attorney and the other is a cop...he said well, you are kind of branded you know...that tattoo...i said well its sort of PERMANENT. he says you can have it removed and i'm like, well i think i would rather spend the money on SKYDIVING or COLLEGE...but thanks for the tip. gave me the ticket and life moves on. the longer i thought about it the more i thought, what an asshole! how stereotypical can one whuffo be? geez. pretty funny though...my nickname after that for awhile was "Satanic Dope-Smoking Adrenaline Junkie" Sistah!

any of those meals will do, bro, i am not complaining

good one, grasshopper! always the classic, blue skies, black death, sis

hey skreamer, you know all my friends are ravers. old school xers who took x back in the day (like 6 years ago) and we listened to people like moby and prodigy before anyone knew who they were. we all still love dance/techno music and a bunch of my friends are excellent DJs who play at clubs in dallas and san francisco. thing is, now none of us take x or really anything else. we drink but that is about it. none of them are skydivers, but they all stuck with me as close as before, and TOTALLY tolerate my "eyes glazed over skydiving soapbox" i get on. they watch all the skydiving videos and i think most of them will do tandems...but i have been waiting for 9 months for them to do it and they haven't yet, so we'll see. anyway, point being that real friends are stronger than drugs, and you don't need to do x or anything else to still fit in the club scene...at least not over here in the US you don't. of course, we don't even have the stuff available to us anymore so that sort of shuts you down right there. its all about the MUSIC man...definitely!
