  1. After refusing to do anything but CRW for nine months, Jim Rasmussen made a point of telling me that I needed to continue doing some freefall. "What if you need to cut away? You want to be able to get stable so you can pull your reserve." Hating it, but knowing that he was right, I did a few solo freefalls here and there...just to make sure I still could!

  2. I have had lessons from quite a few people in my skydiving heyday, each of them great in their own way. I can still hear Woody in my head as he was guiding me in for my first landing..."Left, left, left...let it flyyyy." Cool dude and so much patience with me!
  3. Do you know this from experience? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  4. I got a Nook color (which is awesome) and some snowman flannel sheets!
  5. I think we had 2, 5, 11 and 17 (which was TNT) and then a PBS channel which I *think* was 8. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  6. I am so hooked!!! I have a desktop computer, laptop, two phones with internet. And all of these things are Wi-Fi capable, so no matter where I am, I have "connections." DSi XL Nook Color Nook Wii IPod Touch Do you remember when we were kids, before cable, dish, satellite, etc? And we were all stressed out when the president was on tv and on all of the channels? Well, that's about how bad I am if I can't get on the internet. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

    If you love gazing up into the night sky, then you'll definitely want to be on the lookout for some special happenings this month. A meteor shower and a total lunar eclipse!!
  9. I have to say that I like the way this is going!!
  10. I don't know where your dad lives, but isn't it cold almost everywhere right now? How about a steam train blanket? Even if he won't use it to curl up under, they're good for making wall hangings out of, a throw across the back of your sofa or laying on the top of a made up bed. I clicked on some of the links and there are some pretty amazing ones. And there's even one site that will do a custom blanket too. I'm not a huge train fan and I got excited about some of them!

  11. It's sealed in plastic wrap. You won't be able to view the popups. If you decide to buy it, it's cheaper on line, particularly if you're a member! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  12. I am giving all of my grandchildren a popup Robert Sabuda's: "The Night Before Christmas" that I will be writing a personal note to each of them and dating them. If you've never seen it, it's a pretty expensive popup book, but the details in the popups are amazing! Well worth the price of them! (of course, I'm using coupons from Barnes and Noble to get them one by one) Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  13. I LOVE bungee cords!! I have a big bag of them tossed in my truck. You never know when they're going to come in handy!
  14. Probably part of why I loved my tea present so much!
  15. I got Godiva chocolate for Valentine's. Loved the milk, but didn't care for the dark or the white. And I am steadfast in trying to avoid Apple stuff for the most part. I'm just stubborn that way.... Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  16. I agree with you totally. And that's why I have stopped going to GA for Christmas and go two times a year on my granddaughter's birthdays instead! I keep the Christmas presents 'til then too. Gives me time to pick things out at leisure and my presents don't get lost in the Christmas shuffle when you get so much that you don't even know what you got!

  17. My son lives in Georgia. He is in his school's ROTC and he tried out for the rifle team. He didn't make it, but I was damned proud of him for making the effort.
  18. It's funny you mentioned magazines, as I *did* ask for a subscription to Woman's World. But as it's such an odd magazine, I'm not sure I'll be getting that. I agree that experiences are nice. My first skydive was a present. At the time, he was debating on either a hang gliding experience, a skydiving experience or fly fishing lessons. Pretty obvious what he chose, huh? I want to drive a racecar but it's a pretty expensive wish because I would NOT be content to do a ride along. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

  19. My honey has taken very good care of me in the gun department. I can't say that I'm very fond of the smell of the cleaning stuff, though. I'm not sure about the oil...I might have to go take a sniff! I bought some flash drives on sale during the Black Friday sales...blue, since it's my favorite color. I have more socks than a person should be allowed! Please, please, please tell me that you want plain M&M's!!! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

  20. I'll start... While I've gotten lots of great gifts throughout my life, I got a special "gift that keeps on giving" last year. My honey bought me a tea of the month membership. Every month for a year, I have gotten a shipment of three 1 ounce packages of various teas delivered to my doorstep by FedEx. One of the greatest gifts ever because I get a present every month this way! And for those of you who don't like tea, I found BEER! Actually, that particular site might be sort of pricey, but if you do a search for gift of the month membership, you find all sorts of nifty stuff. Maybe something in your price range too!

  21. It's December 1'st. And for those of you who haven't even started thinking about what sort of gifts to give, I've created this thread so that others might offer suggestions and help you out. I know it's a hard task to ask of everyone on this forum...but could we keep this serious and semi-clean? So tell us, what have been some of the greatest gifts you've ever gotten?
