"Might"? I think we can say that's a fact - I testify to it ... O

Coffee ... probably some egg white + tomatoes (my favorite) if I have the time ... Some of that "broken ankle weight" is starting to come off - woohoo ... O

Good morning gang! I'm glad I'm finally awake ... somebody stole my rig (in my dream) and I spent most of the night trying to find it - ugh. This is probably an unconscious thought from seeing this girl at my DZ jumping it all weekend (instead of me). I felt some kind of separation anxiety not having my rig with me for a few weeks - is that weird? O

33% of Americans obese ... 63% overweight
OlympiaStoica replied to OlympiaStoica's topic in The Bonfire
Sweetie, there are fat people in other countries. Have you ever traveled through Europe? I have and I can tell you that food is much more expensive. Have I been to Europe? No ... I was only born there ... and spent the first 24 years of my life. Sure there are "fat people" everywhere ... nowhere in the world to the extent we have here in the US ... and that's an undisputed fact. O -
I got my "wings" back!!!
OlympiaStoica replied to OlympiaStoica's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I was so depressed being at the DZ on Friday and Saturday without being able to jump, I just left and went home - I couldn't stand it anymore. Yeah ... I knew how much I missed it when I got all misty eyed when getting off the highway (heading to the DZ) and I looked up to see the sky full of canopies ... O -
Yep ... the question is, how long before he is back in the dog house? O

Look who the cat dragged in ... yey, "Turtle" is back ... O

Nothing weird about it; emotionless sex is fun ... once or twice, than it leaves you with an empty feeling. If there is no chemistry, it can get boring too ... if there is chemistry, some kind of attachment will develop ... To answer the OP's question - I've had both ... it's not a sustainable form of relationship for me ... I'm not interested in going there again ... O
-
I'm not getting them either - I thought nobody wants to "talk" to me anymore ... O

Good morning! Waking up to f*cking rain again - I've had it with this weather. Taking little Minnie (my new furry baby) to the vet this morning - she is severely underweight, has a double ear infection - I just hope the bad news stop there. O

Agreed! I'd like to think we all are more than a bunch of geeks prone to anti-social behavior, who happen to like jumping out of airplanes; we got a life!

Am I the only skydiver who doesn't drink ?
OlympiaStoica replied to Bibliophile's topic in The Bonfire
A Russian that doesn't drink vodka? Straight up? You are an embarrassment to all Eastern Europeans ... O -
(Insert kissing icon here) ... Thanks for the cheerful wake up call yesterday morning - it pulled me out of my "dark hole" (I was quite depressed) and it marked the start of what turned out to be a wonderful day ... O

OlympiaStoica replied to OlympiaStoica's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Yesterday was the one year anniversary since my first jump, an event that has changed my life (for the better). It was love at first jump for me and this “crazy activity” of leaping out of airplanes for fun, has brought me much joy over the past year. How did I celebrate? By getting back on the horse, so to speak; I was scared out of my mind (a glimpse back to my days as a terrified student), but with the help of my old coach, I got up … and I got down … safely. These were my first jumps returning from an injury, so the fear was not completely irrational. Teri (my coach and dear friend) was there to help me get my “sky balls” back once more, just as she has done it in the past. Starting physical therapy today (broken ankle 6+ weeks ago, on a botched landing) and hopefully I’ll regain full range of motion very soon. It was wonderful being able to get some altitude – I missed it … very much … O -
Good morning gang!!! I got very little sleep last night (I didn't make it home until 2:30am), but it is a wonderful morning. Yesterday I got my "wings" back ... and this morning I woke up to a gorgeous sunny day ... Oh, I became a mommy this weekend too ... to a little malnourished dog

0:2:0 The "dry spell" continues - I decided against "sex with the ex" and I turned down the "quick hump at the boogie" opportunities. I had a pretty rough start to the weekend, as I couldn't jump and I didn't handle being at the drop zone and grounded very well. Friday there was no wind; Saturday too much wind (everyone was landing everywhere, except the airport) ... and yesterday was perfect, but I was scared out of my mind. I mustered the courage and went up on the CASA with my old coach ... she helped me get my "sky balls" back when I lost them before, during my student days. Beer? I didn't have to buy any, but ... - 1st jump coming back from injury - 1 year anniversary since I started jumping - 1st jump above 15K - 1st experience with hypoxia and longest freefall (90s) on a jump ... So, I got us extra altitude on both jumps ... and I didn't even have to flash the pilot. I did however agree to go out with him for a drink

I woke up in my friend's camper on the drop zone today ... with 4 other people ... (some of us had a bit too much to drink last night ). I had hoped to be able to resume jumping his weekend - today marks 6 weeks since my injury and tomorrow marks one year since I started jumping. Yesterday there was no wind, today there is too much wind - came home as I couldn't handle being grounded and watching other people jump ... I may head back to the DZ for the BBQ party they are having tonight ... and I'm getting a little rescue dog from our manifest lady

Josh, are you planning on joining the "Burning Sky" camp? Going to "Burning Man" is on my long "bucket list" ... so I have to make it there sooner or later ... O
-
A couple of weeks ago I got a notification that the Burning Sky camp has a couple of openings ... so, it might still be a possibility ... O

I drive a "Broke More than Working" (BMW) and recently had issues with it. I left my iPod charger plugged in while I was gone for a week, skiing in Utah. First, I had to replace the battery, that was drained and couldn't hold the charge anymore. Than I had to replace the alternator, which got ruined in the process of me figuring out the battery is "kaput". The next thing I was going for was the alternator

I was planning on going, but haven't found anyone to join me -- all my friends are pussies ... I need to get me more adventurous friends. I was planing to join the "Burning Sky" camp ... I made sure to meet the 100 jump requirement just for that ... O
-
Good morning crazy people! Late getting up today ... didn't sleep well. I woke up in the middle of the night and had trouble falling back asleep. I have decided that I'll be doing at least one jump this weekend and although it didn't become a conscious thought, I think I'm nervous about it ... Heading to the DZ later, than CT tonight, back to the DZ tomorrow ... O
-
I agree with that ... it makes perfect sense ... O

I guess I haven’t answered my own question … I am a very passionate person – I love with intensity and I hate with intensity … I don’t do anything with half measures. In those cases where heart break was involved, I’m not interested in having sex with the ex … I couldn’t handle it; there are too many emotions that would get in the way. When the breakup was civilized and we managed to remain friends – hmm … I don’t know. I haven’t done it (yet), but I find myself a bit tempted ... O
