  2. You don't what you're missing chuckie. You know that when a bunch of women get together, we all have pillow fights in our pajamas. I thought that was 'bra and panties' fight! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  3. Oh pretty please, can I? Gee, I can't believe people are starting to the grumpies (is that a word?) of "Where's my video?" Relax, Grant has a lot to deal with and will have it out when he's got a fantastic product to put out. Do you want it half ass, or do you want the video to be done properly? Hey Mar! I'll hold 'em while you beat 'em, k? And yes, the video is WORTH THE WAIT! I do know that it helps to look at hours of beautiful jumps when the weather starts changing. Keeps me out of the doldrums! So I am looking forward to MY COPY FIRST!!! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  5. If you want to 'antique' a piece of wood that hasn't had a permanent finish put on it before, soak it in coffee, or pepsi or coke, they all work great. You can use coffee or tea to antique a quilt or other object made of natural fiber materials. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  6. I took my buddy Steve to South Carolina to jump at Chester, so he and my husband Dave, who lives in South Carolina could do AFF together. Steve and I live in Illinois (not together) about 900 miles to do AFF with a great group of folks. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  7. Duh, just hand them your rig, and say "YOU try, then we'll talk!" You guys are the most amazing athletes on the face of the earth. Now, why do they list cricket as a sport? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  9. A guy turned the corner at a high rate of speed, ran into a parked car, which pushed it into a parked car, pushing it into a THIRD parked car. We all ran out side to see what was going on. When the cops got there, the driver swore all three cars BACKED into him. Yes, alcohol was involved. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  10. Hey Kennedy, sent your pics to my very long distance husband, I am sure he thanks you for them...... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  11. Most times when I'm outside doing some bouldering, I just get a group of my friends to stand under me with their arms raised. Yes, I have friends. oh my gosh, don't get me started with how many friends she has! There are not enough Margarita's or enough band width in the world to accomodate THAT crowd. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  12. - measuring Jimbo for his container. Still not sure I got the inseam correct; we may need to remeasure that Can we do it again next year? Huh? Can we?? If you need any help with that measurement, I could bring my crotch tape and give you a HAND, er yea, that's it a HAND. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  17. You bought a house with out your husband knowing? thats got to be a good story..lets hear it...... I had a little music business I was running out of the basement of our house, it had been growing nicely. It suddenly got WAY too big to stay in the basement, but I couldn't afford to move it. I thought. We had been looking for a new site, and in the search had gone thru a building a block from our home, but it was TOO big and TOO expensive, and Dave HATED it.So the search was still on. Everything we looked at was worse than whatever we had looked at before, so I was getting really discouraged. Well, I decided to give the house that was one block over one more try, so I made a ridiculously low offer, exactly HALF of what they had been asking. They came back with a counter offer, but I held firm, and they TOOK it! I told them I had NO down payment, and wanted to pay a 300 amount every month, at the end of the year I wanted CREDIT for 1/2 of the 300 monthly, so that I could go to the bank and finance the house. In the meantime, I wanted them to carry it on contract for me. THEY DID IT ALL! I thought the whole thing was so ridiculous that I didn't have a chance, but the owner was in a coma, and the estate wanted to get it off their hands before the snow flew. So one day, here comes their lawyer with the key. I spent every morning for the next three months cleaning, painting, glazing windows and gettting the place set up to be a shop in the lower half, and an apartment in the upper half. By the time Dave saw the house, I had won a bid from the School System for a bunch of basses and cellos, so when he walked into our home, full of instruments, he about had a heart attack, and said "you've GOT to find a music shop". I told him, "honey, come look at a piece of property that you might be interested in with me tomorrow" He said he knew that something was up the minute I pulled the key from my pocket. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  19. I think that is the consensus..JOKE JOKE JOKE skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  20. The first time I bought a house in my name only, it took me three months to get up the courage to tell my husband. By then I had made 3 payments without any input from him, so he was cool with it. Don't worry, the butterflies go away at about month 12. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  21. My original training is as a violin maker. I have made a couple dozen guitars and (I shudder to admit it) MANY banjos. After 26 years in the music industry, someone walked into my shop and offered me too much money to resist for the building, so I sold it. I still have a TON of instruments, including a bunch of cellos, violins, guitars etc. Lucky for me, my husband, son and I are all musicians. We love music almost as much as skydiving. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  22. Get a pitch pipe. They're fairly accurate if you get a decent one. They're only accurate if you blow into them ever so gently. The overtone on dialtone is A 440. Your telephone is the most accurate tuning device in the world. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  23. Doc Severenson came into my music shop one time looking for just the RIGHT Bach trumpet. Mt. Vernon 4 digit serial. If you ever run across one, let me know, I know how to get a hold of Doc, and you can make some good money. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  24. I would love to hear the world famous Duck Joke. I have a sisters who'sname is Michel Quackenbush. We love to tell her related jokes, and then hang them over her head for long periods of time. As far as band surfing goes, there used to be couple that did some band surfing and were great fans of my husbands band. He got tired of them breaking instruments and falling over expensive equipment. At one point the stupid woman of this couple taped him on the end of his trumpet, lightly, but with enough force that it split his lip and chipped his tooth. Next week that she showed up, he held a pair of drum sticks in her hand and smacked her when she reached for his trumpet. Watch out for pissed off trumpet/bass players. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  25. Uh oh, you messed up now! Share with the class. I want one Well, I will see what I can do, not sure how many I have left, but glad that would make you happy. Send me your address, I'll do some digging. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
