OK... #1 is the guy I work with. Seriously... just when I think he really can't be that dumb, he proves me wrong. #2 and 3 describe my sister-in-law. I have a LIST of pet peeves... but I don't want to seem stuck up! My top 2... Leaving the cordless phone off the hook all the time (ie. all night)... and leaving trash laying around when the trash can is less than 2 feet away!

What about the dumb girl that landed in the fire ants... and her buddies who thought that pouring Sierra Mist (FULL OF SUGAR!) would make the ants go away and stop biting her. Uhh, guys...

Hey, wait a minute... aren't you a celebrity who skydives?*** Well, yeah, but that's beside the point. We're talking about other celebrities who skydive. You and I... well, we're just the really well known ones.

Rodman did not jump. He was too scared. John Sikorski (I think that's how it's spelled) was his double. He jumps at Z-hills. Great guy.

I totally forgot about him! His name is Marcos. I think the last name is Farez or something like that. I made a jump with him... how could I forget!! One of my only head down jumps! Super great guy!!

Good point... what I heard about Tom and Nicole was second hand information and I have to admit... not always 100%. Thanks for the clarification!

I'm not sure... hopefully sometime towards the end of the year or so.

You're exactly right... he was too scared to jump - he told me!!

Stephen Baldwin and Tom Berenger both got their A licenses while filming "Cutaway." They did some of their own jumps in the movie. Nicole Kidman reportedly jumps to help with a drug problem (to replace drugs with jumping) I heard she got her A license as well... Tom Cruis supposedly took it up so he could experience it with her. I'm not sure of his experience.

It's Sunday now... beautiful blue skies here at Z-hills. Everyone else is jumping but I'm still grounnded from a car wreck last August. Hopefully I'll be back in the air in another 6-9 months... hopefully

My dad was working in NY when I went to make my first jump. My mom went with me. I wanted nothing to do with it but I was 16 and thought I would be cool and go with my friends. My mom was nervous, but ok with it. She and I agreed that I would do it once "just to say I did it." So I did a static line and she videoed it from the ground. She went to NY to see my dad the following week and took the video with her. He called me when she told him to and the conversation was something like this: "Hey Jaime. Moma told me to call you before we watched something on the video. What's this about?" "Just watch Dad." "Hey, it's an airport. Did you go somewhere?" "Sorta... just keep watching." "Lots of airplanes... Hey there you are! What's that on your back? Wait a minute... is that... is that a... oh no. Is that a parachute!?" "Just keep watching Dad." "Ok... now you're getting into an airplane, with a parachute on. DID YOU JUMP!!??" "Just wait Dad." "HOLY SHIT!! IS THAT YOU?? THERE IS A PARACHUTE LANDING!! HOT DAMN! YOU DID IT!! Son of a bitch... that means I have to do it now!"

A guy I work with filed his taxes and wasn't expecting his return this year because of a bankrupcy and student loans and who knows what else... anyway... he went to his mail box a couple of weeks ago and had a check for $4,000 in there!! He called them first thing the next day to make sure before he cashed it. They said yes, it was in fact his to cash. He said he felt a lot better about calling and verifying instead of putting it in the bank and wondering if it was his mistake or theirs. Good luck!

I know EXACTLY what you mean!! I feel that way every day!

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids... "WOW," the social worker exclaims, "are they ALL YOURS???" "Yes'am they is all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before. She says, "Sit down Leroy." All the children rush to find seats. "Well," says the social worker, "then you must be here to sign up. I'll need all your children's names." "This one's my oldest--he is Leroy." "OK, and who's next?" "Well, this one he is Leroy, also." The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy! "All right...," says the caseworker, "I'm seeing a pattern here..Are they ALL named Leroy?" Their Mumma replied, "Well, yes--it make it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yells, 'Leroy!' An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an' they all comes arunnin.'! An 'if I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I just yell 'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had, namin' them all Leroy." The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch? "Ah, that's so easy," said the momma. "Den I calls them by dey last names

OOOooooooooooohhhh... gotcha! Thanks!! I had two gerbils once... one named Sabre and one named Stilleto... they died. LOL

You lost me... I have NO idea what you mean by that!

I have 2 dogs... Slider and Sky!!

I met F1Freak through dz.com... sort of... we chatted online for a little while (like less than a month) but then we just stopped. Then we actually met at a boogie about 2 months later and hooked up right then and there and haven't been aprat since!!

Oh yes... he is very well.

My fault... didn't mean to hijack!! Back to NEMO!! These fishes are a little distracting... but Bloat just cracks me up!!

True... my boss decided to give us the day off... I'm not sure why exactly... he isn't the overly religios type... and neither are any of the employees. Guess he's just being nice.

Am I the only one off today? At first I thought, "There are a lot of people on dz.com today." Then I remembered it's Friday (nevermind that's is a holiday for some) ... and some people may actually be working today! This Nemo thread is quite entertaining!! I loved that movie!! Too bad I can't remember any of the lines... other than what's been posted already.

You suck! Because you posted that link, I had to download it and now I have fishes all over my computer! It's so cute! I love it! But you suck!

OMG I'm totally freaked out by this!!!! I asked "Are you live?" and he shook his head yes. I said, "Poor guy... good bye" and he waved!!!! OMG!!! What is going on?? I'm so confused!!!! Someone explain this to me PLEASE!!!

The fact that she has the children to take care of is a HUGE MAJOR factor!! When I first read your initial post I thought, "WOW! I was in that same situation (with my ex husband) not too long ago." But then I read the rest... the addition of this children changes the whole thing. You need to sit down and talk to her. Make a "chore list" or something. Split things up. Share. Compromise. That's what a marriage is all about.
