  1. Self employed. Any day I want to, I can take off,,,it just means that I have to work extra hours some other time to make up the dif. As a result, I pretty much work 7 days a week from Apr1 to Dec15, and just part time from Dec 15 to Apr 1. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  2. The answers have been interesting so far. Things like "bring back the round bumper stickers" No more reggae. LOTS more reggae. Let the whiners stay home. It's fun to read them all. But you are right the number one answer is DING DING DING JET!! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  3. ok folks, at the end of the World Free Fall Convention we always try to have a survey, so that we can monitor the experience you have had there. This way we can try to keep a pretty accurate reflection of what you are wanting us to produce from year to year. This years survey also asks questions from people who DIDN'T come, to see what they might like to have at the WFFC. If you would like your responses to be taken into consideration go to www.freefall.com, and fill out the survey. It's annonymous, but having your location really helps us know who we are and are NOT reaching. I've been having a great time reading the responses to date, and I'll tally them all up soon and let you all know what the overall feelings are. We already have some great changes in mind for next year, there have been several planning meetings, and it's coming together GREAT! Thanks! Beth skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  4. George Foreman grills. MMmmmmm. I like to cook hot dogs on them. The little lines in the grill hold hot dogs perfectly. I thought about putting my penis in the grill but then I would have a burned penis and that would be 1.) Just downright painful and 2.) I could'nt do anything with it until the blisters healed. So a guy has been working in a pickle factory for 30 years and is about to retire. He confesses to his wife that all 30 years he has had the desire to put his penis in the pickle slicer. Last day of work he comes home and tells her that he HAS put his penis in the pickle slicer, and it was great. She runs to him, rips his pants off and examines his penis. It's in fine shape. She asks "what happened?" He replies. They fired me,,,, she says "and the pickle slicer?" He says," yea, they fired her too"..... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  5. I watched 'roots' which one were you? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  6. oops, guess I wasn't supposed to read this, but hey! I had a great time with all of you losers this weekend. Pathetic, I know! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  7. The guy who owns the blimp owns an RC hobby store in Champaign. I'll ask the airboss what his name is. The guy with the RC plane is a friend of the the blimp guy, and they do a lot of flying together. They have some sort of a club, and the blimp guy supplies the planes and stuff. They were both excellent pilots. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  8. I think I responded to a thing about migraines before, but here is what I said then, and what happened with me. I had TERRIBLE migraines every Friday for about 10 years. Friday I did pay roll and taxes for 2 businesses. I hate taxes and payroll. Went to the doctor about something else, but mentioned the migraines to him. His response was "you've had 2 concussions and a broken neck, you're gonna have headaches." Years go by, new doc. He asks about history. I tell him the migraine thing. He asks how they start, and I explain that I have like a capital C in my vision, where the pieces aren't together, like a broken mirror. Then the heat thing where the waves start. Then the next day BAM, I can't open my eyes, or feel warm, or smell stuff without throwing up. He says before we do anything else, keep a diary of EVERY morsel that crosses your lips. Even a sip of communion wine, REALLY. Then come back in a month and we'll talk about it, and go further if we need to. Well, doesn't take a genius to see that I'm eating hotdogs and drinking red wine on Thursday nights, while Streaker is at bowling league, or golf or whatever this Thursdays seasonal thing is. Eliminated the red wine, hot dogs, and a couple of other minor things and haven't had a head ache in YEARS. So they don't necessarily get worse with age, and I haven't spent a fortune on Doctors, chiros or Massage, and I've managed to get my Fridays back. So take the diary thing and try it, you mentioned allergies. It doesn't cost anything, and may save you a bunch of grief. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  9. Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald... No, really, congrats. Hope you are as happy in 31 years as Streaker and I are... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  10. Did you let Eener know? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  11. Contact Tom Birdwell and tell him you are coming to town, you can exchange a few jump stories...maybe even a beer or two PM sent skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  12. I believe in Karma. You know they say that "the good die young" and they also say "no rest for the wicked". Put together it means I'm gonna live forever, and work every day of it.... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  13. What?! Only men can refer to some girl as a hottie? Aren't you glad to know that we girls can be turned on by you guys, too? Ok, so some of us aren't exactly girls any more... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  14. Cool, a clicky and everything. Well, that is one hottie I don't know, so I'll have to look for him down the road a piece. And being that I'm an old woman, it'll be safe.. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  15. Well, my husband was on the stage with the Temptations, and I got to wait on Doc Severinson in my music store once. And Stepan Grapelli and his whole orchestra came in to my music store once. And the guy from the Loving Spoonful, John Whatshisname that wrote Welcome back Cotter, I had him come into the store once and talk to me for hours about a Country Gentleman Guitar I was working on. Oh yea, and then there was the Father of BlueGrass music, who had me put a string on his mandolin. But the closest bands were all in Champaign, 3 hours away, unless you consider the Bellsons. But they had grown up and become famous before I ever got to meet them. Louie is a pretty cool guy, and comes home once a year to do a fund raiser for our jazz folk here. Everyone of these guys was REALLY nice, not a fat head in the group. Oh yea, and Bix Beiderbeke, but he was dead a million years ago. I'm right on the Mississippi River, LOTS of music here. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  16. This question has been asked several times and it still isn't in caps.. WHO"S THE HOTTIE??!! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  17. 5 Birthdays on Sept 25th in our family. Guess what we do for Christmas at our house? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  18. Ok, I've been following this thread for a while. First off, I'd like to thank the ladies in manifest for quickly identifying him as a problem. Then I would like to thank the security persons who decided to question him immediately, and who managed to ask the correct questions to find out that he had been stealing all of the way from his home DZ to us. Thirdly, I would like to thank the Rantoul PD, who watched over this whole process, and let us handle it in house. Lastly, I would like to thank the skydivers and vendors who had had gear, cash and tickets stolen by him, who showed tremendous. If those who posted really are friends to this young man, he has a lot of 'splainin' to do if he wants to ever be welcomed back into this community again. I think he will be serving some time as he was found to have more than just skydiving gear as stolen goods..... When your friend gets out, make sure he has had, or gets, some serious counseling, or a major pox will be on him if he ever sets foot into a jump plane again.. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  19. Amen to that! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  20. Gary, I spent 27 years as a violin/guitar maker. Couldn't tell you how many sets of Floyd Rose trems, people asked me to REMOVE. Pain in the ass to tune, so no quick tuning on stage, and if you leave them loose so that you CAN quick tune, they ratttle like hell. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  21. I got to unplug all of the toilets at the WFFC every morning. Boy am I good at it. YUCK, some of you guys/girls are real pigs! Many thanks to those of you who clean up after yourself. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  22. how long are you there? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  23. You have to understand what kind of product you are using. Roundup is a SYSTEMIC killer, and it works by osmosis. (Osmosis happens best during rapid growth periods, and in the midwest does not happen at all in about another month.) Applied to a LEAF or directly to an open vein, like coating a cut off tree, it will kill the plants roots within 48 hours. ONLY THAT PLANT. It does NOT stay in the ground. That is why it is suggested in areas that you want to replant in a couple of weeks. A product that is a TOTAL VEGETATION killer will stay in the ground and NOTHING will grow back, most of them say for 2 months. It will also bleed off into water supplies, and kill ponds during that same period, so be careful when you use them. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  24. Thanks for the site, and thanks for the clicky! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  25. My son has traveled the world over. He says American are the only ones who drink their wine from boxes. What the heck, it works. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
