Don't you just hate that? Been there. Done that. So I definitely feel for you, man. But as I mentioned in a posting a little while back, with enough determination, persistance and desire, you might be able to overcome that opinion. Good luck, Nina Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I bought a 1992 Mustang Convertible in 1994. I drove that car until 1998. I lived in Spartanburg, SC, Athens, GA and then moved to the Atlanta area. I always locked the car. Never had a problem. If someone wants into something bad enough, it's not going to matter how well you lock it. Locks are only keeping the semi-honest people out. True criminals already know all the ins and outs. If you want a better opinion of the incident rates, you might ask your insurance company. I'm betting that they actually keep up with those sort of statistics. Or go on line and do a search. You can find just about anything on line nowadays. Nina Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I must say that I've had a suprisingly pleasant Christmas. No fussing, fighting or bad kids. That in itself would have been enough. This was my rational "wish list" from a previous posting: A new pair of tennis shoes Diet soft drinks Orville Redenbacher Movie Theater Butter Popcorn Bags of M&M's (plain) Hershey Kisses Wild Sex I'm very pleased that I received everything on my list, plus some. I also got: *A digital camera with a self printing port *A Super Scrabble game (twice the old game) *Chocolate covered marshmallow santas *CD's *A Pooh/Tigger calendar (My birthday month just happens to say something about watching the clouds go by) *Avon's Soft Musk (my favorite) *A wonderful visit from all of my kids and my granddaughter. Plus, I hope to be having more wild sex very soon! Life is GOOD!!! Nina Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it. I was pretty proud of it myself. The holidays have been very good to me. Thanks for the kind wishes. Perhaps we'll meet up somewhere in the near future at a CRW meet. Nina Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Can I have three memorable moments? OK. I admit it....I'm greedy, but always very thankful for everything that happens to me. #1-August 1'st-Docking 16'th on a 33 way. Biggest CRW formation I've ever been in so far! #2-October 23'rd-My first balloon jump, kiss pass and becoming a Rodriguez brother. #3-Septemer-Being published in "Parachutist." (They even paid me! WOW! I would have paid THEM for that honor) Nina Tharp Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

In honor of the season and my favorite activity, I present to you, my favorite people, my rendition of an old song with a new twist. The tune is "My Favorite Things" from the movie "The Sound of Music." I look forward to jumping with everyone. May all of your landings be soft in 2005. Nina Tharp MY FAVORITE THINGS Flying in echelon and building a big-way Being in a Chico wrap and a subsequent cutaway Bright colored Lightnings held down with strings These are a few of my favorite things. Red colored A lines and 2-1's on risers Diamonds and 4 stacks and wing lockup flyers CRWdogs that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things. TOADSUCKERS, hook knives and doing a dragplane Lineburns on ankles and docking an 8-way Away from an entanglement my body flings These are a few of my favorite things. When the sky's gray When the grip's wrong When the formation goes bad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad.

Yes, your Christmas could suck worse, as there are still a few days before Christmas is actually here, but we won't even go there. Never say things can't get any worse because as soon as you say that, they can/will. The good news is that you have all of us dz.commers to commiserate with you and give you pep talks. The better news is that you only have 6 more days until you head for Z-Hills and get to jump to your hearts content. I envy you.

These are the 4 question results: WOW!!! This is so close to being me, I think it IS me! ESFJ Well, what's there to say about ya, huh? You're a helpful person who places a high value on harmony. You pay close attention to people's needs and wants and work well with others to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way. You follow through on your commitments...you like structure and closure and like situations where warmth and compassion is shown. You're at your best by organizing people in getting a job done. Radiate warmth and fellowship and generally fit in well with your classmates or workers....concerned about the feelings of others and like to help out when possible. You know it's important to give as well as receive and like to donate your services as a volunteer. You like to be with compatible people. You have an easier time making friends and accepting their roles in life... you like doing things traditionally.. you're old-fashioned that way. You take the parent, spouse, employee or whatever role seriously...you learn best in a situation where you know what you can expect...you don't like continued interruptions..you really have to get along and like your teachers to learn well from 'em, huh? You place a high value on following through on tasks and assignments...you take the time to see how things fit together in the big picture, but this sometimes slows you down and makes you feel like you're learning slower than others...you respect rules and authority.. you do what you can to make sure your relationships run smoothly... When you're in a leading situation, you pay attention to the needs of others. You often come across to others as friendly, warm and concerned....leisure is to be earned after work is done...like posting on the Storm Palace before playing the games.. ...you like including others in your relaxing... you like to have your social events regularly planned -- like a weekly softball league.. Love means warmth and commitment and you show this to your partner in many tangible ways...like cards and gifts and flowers and so on ...once you're committed, you stay in it even if it's an inconvenience to you...and maybe even longer than it's healthy...because you give so easily in a relationship, you're disappointed if others don't give as freely as you do.. you're more loyal to the institution of the relationship or marriage than the person...when burned in a relationship, you get hurt bad, and may need time to heal and get over it before moving on....you can really hurt someone if you wanted to... Watch for: you tend to avoid conflict and sweep problems under the rug.. learn how to manage conflict and appreciate that conflict can help people in relationships to understand each other better...value your own priorities more and don't always put others' needs ahead of your own...don't bite off more than you can chew...hard to take or give corrective feedback, isn't it? You may not always ask for appreciation that you deserve...you might need to develop more assertiveness that way..you assume you know what's best for others and state these opinions.. that might rub 'em wrong and make you look bossy and rigid.... don't get so caught up in the details that you forget the larger picture....

I have two major things I want to accomplish in 2005 more than anything else. #1-Be on the Women's World CRW Record. #2-Be invited to and jump ON the 81-Way World CRW Record in November. Anything above and beyond that is just gravy! Nina Tharp Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I love my new Dolphin. I balked at first when I thought all they offered was basic black, but when i found out the had awesome color options and all my CRW rig is now matching, I was all in! I have not regretted my decision in the least. Plus, they've added a few cool options, like a flap to cover the bridle for you freefliers and large tuck tabs to cover the funky risers we CRWDOGS use. I haven't gotten to do this, but I did do a few "monkeyhugs" out of a KingAir and then a Casa with a 6'2" giant hunk! It's great when I am so short I can easily wrap my legs around him! It made the jump easy. Plus, I don't even have to duck when they yell "DOOR! Nina Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

You are welcome! Of course I could also tell you a funny story of when I was in California in July and was in the middle of a 30-way diamond. Thank you Chris. You can come and hug ME anytime!

When I got off student status, my DZO offered me a "deal" on a brand new Wings container, supposedly sized just to me, a new main and a new reserve. The price was great so I jumped on it. The gear came in and I jumped it a few times. Then I started doing my heart's desire, which is CRW. My coach kept fussing at me because I wasn't looking down to find the red center A lines and make sure my legs were wrapped in them. A wrong grip can cause a wrap/funnel in a big formation. I told him I couldn't look down, as my chest strap was rising up on opening, resting on my neck and choking the living S H _ _ out of me! I had bruises from it more than once. This was a bone of contention for quite a while. He used to call it my "neck strap." I keep a pillowed chest altimeter and a hook knife on that strap too. I had to keep the altimeter to the side because can you imagine the damage I could have done to myself had it ever hit me in the face? I contacted Wings and their answer was to have me downsize my main, my reserve and rebuild the rig, which I did. It didn't help. I finally gave in and followed his suggestion and ordered a Dolphin rig. I called the owner in person and explained my issues. He offered suggestions and options on my new rig. The rig is a little wide in some spots, but I no longer have the fear of being choked, as my chest strap stays down in an acceptable place.

I guess I'm an accountant's nightmare. I make my deposit. I write checks, use the debit card, etc. I have some automatic drafts that come out. I try to be efficient and write the stuff down, but sometimes I forget. I couldn't tell you to the cent how much I have if my life depended on it. I do bank on line and go there several times a week, but stuff that you use your debit card on sometimes don't show up for as long as a week! I know how much I can roughly spend and just mentally round it. I don't bounce anything, but am sure I am living on a "wing and a prayer" most of the time!

Oh, don't act like you still love him. Poor thing. He's feeling so neglected and kicked to the curb. When's the last time you showed him any love or driven him since you got your new sexy ride? Hmmm? Now, the prospective new owner is no bastard family, but you should ask him about the night ride, busted fence and a disabled VW.

WOW!!! Talk about being brutally honest. The question wasn't about being brutal. Just being honest. I think most of us have concurred that saying the truth in a nice way is the best way (sugarcoat me anyday, sweetie). Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Thank you, Dave. I totally agree. The best sort of honesty is the kind that doesn't kill someone's hope, pride and spirit. You can tell someone they stink at something and be honest, but say it so that they feel they have a chance to improve at it someday. Why kick a person when they're down? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I prefer honesty. But could we sugarcoat it a little so it'll go down better? Sometimes, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

While I really adore what Vallerina bought herself, I could never buy it for myself. Very nice Vallerina! Where are you going to wear it? I guess my needs are too simple. I've read all the postings and even lusted over some of the stuff, but would probably never spend that kind of money on myself. I already have enough gear and I work at a car lot, so I drive new cars all the time, without the payment or insurance. I bought myself a dart board at Walmart for $5. It even came with 6 darts (3 of each color). I've hung it at work and am having the time of my life sharing it with my friends here. Now, if I was being totally impractical and had money to burn, I'd buy myself a Jaguar convertible, an XM radio satellite system and another Lightning (in a 143).

Being honest, I'd have to say appearance plays a factor in that first "meet." But I agree that looks fade. Unfortunately, I've found that even people who would not be considered attractive can turn out to be very ugly on the inside also. Nowadays, I look for personality. Someone who REALLY listens to me. Likeable, honest, kind and willing to put forth effort. Am I asking for too much? If so, I'll just settle for hot, insatiable sex.
