>In response to kingbunky: Well said! I can recall skating in junior league hockey (on a very rough pond thinking, "damn this sh*t is cold!!!") before I was even of the age that's eligible to play little league baseball!!! Weather: JR Hockey season = Nov-Apr Black flies & summer season= somewhere in the middle{winks} We've never had the pleasure of the smooth ice that they're skating on 'down south'. Cheers to the original six!!!! "This is the 4th time I've been late for work this week!!...and it's only Tuesday!" ...Cheech and Chong

You've seen this??? (BTW: Congrats on your 'A' !!!) Never lose that attitude!!!!!!! Making funny faces in freefall doesn't make a skydiver 'unsafe'. Slotperfect asked about the student experience overall.

Hey wait just a minute Rem. I 'bumb' into silly 'americains' all the time and I still feel going to any DZ can have it's certain advantages times!

Couldn't agree more SP! Although my TM/I rating is a bit expired ,, I used to work with some pretty animated TM's and it tends to take away from the student's video and their overall first jump experience. I've eyewitnessed this by the looks on their faces while watching the video which includes their TM's antics. It can tend to 'cheapen' their whole first jump experience. Nice one ~smile~! [imho] They (students) came out to do this jump for themselves and even though I as a tandem master might be bored sh*tl*ss because I'm doing my 10th 'passenger strapped to me' load of the day does not give me the excuse to try and play a comedian in the sky for the simple reason to amuse myself and fellow experienced jumpers in the video room after the sun goes down. [/imho]. Plus then the T/M can look really cool! ...totally J/K!!!!!!! Being in 'drogue fall' is always a beautiful thing in every TM's heart me thinks!!!

No cheap goals at all so far. ------------------------------------------------------------- Wow ain't that the truth. I think the Wings got a good dose of 'close only counts in horseshoes' in this game. You could hear the 'post'man ring on about 5 Wing shots at the goal yesterday!!!

In response to flyhi.... Ouch!!

So sorry to hear that. Glad to hear it wasn't worse than it was. I really hope they recover quickly and can get back in the air!!

My heart can't take this!!! GO RED WINGS!!!!!!! "This is the 4th time I've been late for work this week!!...and it's only Tuesday!" ...Cheech and Chong

OMG I guess I did forget to equate in the 'beer factor' as mentioned in above posts!! well...ummmm.... ......WOW!!!!! that would make it almost all of my income for the rest of my life!!! "This is the 4th time I've been late for work this week!!...and it's only Tuesday!" ...Cheech and Chong

So right!!! best response I've personally heard to this same question...."Roughly $150U.S. and half of your income for the rest of your life." "This is the 4th time I've been late for work this week!!...and it's only Tuesday!" ...Cheech and Chong

Couldn't have said it better freeflier!! Why don't we also consider putting video footage of people being shot in holdups and fatal car accidents on t.v.??? [psssst ... ummm, hey Gravitysurf.....they already do this daily] OH MAN...WTF is current society/media thinking???????

I wouldn't say that the wuffos are "unsaved" but it's definetely a spiritual experience everytime I jump out of an airplane!!!! (last time, I promise
