  1. In the 1880's the New Madrid fault moved and the Mississippi river changed it's course as a result. In the 1970's there was a very noticible quake, not sure of the numbers, but I watched my aquarium move and wondered if the water was gonna stay in it. (It did) The quake we had the other evening was a 4.5 so there was some serious moving, which I slept thru. One of my clients told me that she thought a large animal had gotten under her bed and was moving it. They say we are up for a pretty good one here. Sandwich is close to Chicago, Ottawa maybe, and the New Madrid fault is close to St. Louis. I am located halfway between the two. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  2. TOO COOL! you'll have to get on the international way challenge! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  3. Ok, let me answer this from a whuffo status. Yup, that's me WHUFFO. Only I know whuffo. I have been doing the WFFC every year since 1997. Talked my hubby into learning to skydive (yea, that was hard...) he started jumping for real in 2003. I have spent more hours at the WFFC than everyone here who responded so far, put together. Spent ONE HUNDRED DAYS working on it in 2001, looking for a new home for us. I will spend about 30 to 35 days this year. Some whuffos get it. Maybe yours is one of them. If so, bring her to me, I need LOTS AND LOTS of help. It takes about 180 to 300 volunteers per event to put this on. That's one of the main reasons that no one else does it. I will continue to take my vacation to work at the Convention every year for as long as Don will have me. There is nothing like it, but I am a 'free spirit- flower child' and don't get squeemish when a naked person asks me for directions, or throws her arms around my husband. If he gets to cop a feel, all the better! I like to see him have a good time, and I know that he ALWAYS will at the Convention. Use some judgement. Is she that open? If so BRING HER! If close, Bring her for a weekend. If not, leave her at HOME! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  4. 50lbs? Fuck 50lbs! It should be atleast 100lbs! I can carry 80. Had to move 30 bags of concrete mix, 80lbs each. The guy who works with me wimped out. I also taught him how to saw 45 and 90 degree angles, set fence posts and build a jig for a repeat custom design. He was a pussy! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  5. consider posting this on the freefall website, it'll get some attention there as well. www.freefall.com beth skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  6. don't be hurt, I don't think that she remembered much of ANYTHING after Rantoul..... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  7. Cocheese! VanillaSkyGirl, COME! check in with me, we can assign you posts that fit in with your ability. Just ask SkydivingLarry who came to us with a broken back a couple of years ago. He's turned into one of our most valuable assets! We promise not to beat you up! Work a couple of hours a day, get some cool WFFC wear in exchange, you can get your name in the hat for the drawings of observer rides, etc. We (the staff) have a terrific time! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  8. On behalf of ugly women everywhere, I thank you.... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  9. ooo, oo! you got your own Bell 412, how about dragging it to the WFFC with you? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  10. Whenever Bernice and I have a long trip, we try to call all of the skydivers we have programmed into our cell phones to tell them that we are working on WFFC stuff. WHAT?!! WE'VE NEVER CALLED YOU!!?? Guess you'll have to email me your phone number so we can! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  11. Windwatcher, first thing you gotta do is GET INTO THE CONVENTION. With fewer than fifty jumps there are only two ways to do this. ONE, register as a 'student' skydiver and pay the cost of the student entry. You will get a 'student' band, and be allowed to jump with the instructors til you get to your 50 mark. TWO, register as a 'friend of a skydiver' (which means you gotta have somebody you KNOW when you register) This will NOT give you a 'skydiving' wrist band and you will NOT be allowed to jump. I would suggest that if you are going to use this method, you either arrive with a skydiver, or have a cell phone number on hand, so that you can call someone on the grounds to come and vouch for you. I have seen long delays at registration when people show up at registration and don't know the drill. YES< VOLUNTEER! We need people to greet people in registration, help sign up people in the tandem area, I am in the PR area, and use lots of skydivers for carting around media types. We have shuttles taking skydivers from out landings, and the tandem area back to the manifest and packing areas. We need people to help shuttle folks to the showers! Check out the 'volunteer registration' on the website! When you get to the convention, look me up, I have a real name, it's Beth. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  12. Hey if you guys have any layout questions PM me, I do a little of the set up there, and know the grounds pretty well. Any skydiving type, what to do in the air kinda questions, ask WFFC, or FlyAngel2, they can point you in the right directions skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  14. I talked to Michael this evening, and he was 10 minutes from the DZ, did he make it? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  15. I delivered two cheapy swimming pool floats to Rantoul on Sat. Figured the kids can use them for swimming while we are setting up, and then the skydivers can have for free at registration, if anyone wants them. Hey Rev Jim, any possibility you could go to the Pink Mafia Sister thread, and add the names of those that want to do a PMS dive to this list like you did with the truck driverdive? Btw, are you availabe from like the 23rd of July til the Convention starts? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  16. Well, I think this Bari is GREAT...I better, he's the one I sleep with.. Oh SINGING! I remember, singing!

  20. Age is only protected above the age of 40. at my husbands last job interview, they looked at his gray hair and asked "how much longer do you plan to work" He responded "15 years" and the person who asked the question replied "WHAT?! Do you think you are gonna work FOREVER!!??" skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  21. SPAM is everywhere I tell you! I'm sending Weege's details to the AntiSPAM people as we speak. LOL! Hey I enjoyed it, even if she had used those words before. Wish that I could come, but the big boss tells me that I am spending that weekend finding new volunteers in Champaign and Urbana to help with the WFFC. We'll be spending the evening at the DZ in Paxton on Sat, but we'll drink a beer and think of you guys, and if anyone gets the urge feel free to dd me! b skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  24. Hey, what's your part? I'm bringing a great baritone with me to the WFFC, think we can find 2 more folks, and do a terrific rendition of " I take a look at my enormous penis" ? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  25. ok so im a woss i ran to my basement get over it When I was a little kid, my great aunts house was hit, and her barn was leveled. It made quite an impression. I have seen 3 in real life, but I have seen the devastation from several more, including what was left of Xenia, Ohio in 1974. When the sirens go off, I will always spend some 'quality' time in my basement, over who knows what upstairs. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
