Oh yeah....NO! DON'T DO THAT! Ever hear of that guy Pavlov? DON'T DO THAT! She, your better half, should give you loving because she loves you. Not because she is getting something speical or you did something special. And that's the "talk" I had. I simply said, "you love me? then love me. If not then well hay we had a good run let's move on with our lives." Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

And to think women say that we men are dogs. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

d123, Here is the gig....I like my life. I don't mind only jumping in the morning and in the evening when the winds are nice and light. I'm A-OK with that. Just like I'm AOK with not doing 140mph on the highway with my bike. I'm a freefall junky, I just want soft landings. Soft safe and free of any snapping sounds. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

I don't wish to sound rude but in my 32 years I've learned that women like men who are men. Yes they do wish for all the nice romantic stuff but in the end they just want a guy who will look them square in the eyes and tell them the gods honest truth. And I sat her down, looked her square in the eyes and told her how I felt. That I had no issues with cleaning the house and making dinner while she was taking night classes and working towards her degree. After all, I lived there as well and I actually like cooking. But that I felt that she was not showing me the love that I needed and if it continued then perhaps it was best if we called it quits. As one gorgeous girl once told me, “There is nothing more sexy than a guy who looks me square in the eyes, treats me as an equal, gives me the respect he would expect to receive then politely asks me to get him a beer.” Yes lots of contractions in that sentence and I don’t claim to fully understand it but I think she was saying that she wished to be taken seriously and at her word but she also wishes to be helpful when she can. So maybe the article needs to reworded to say "Cleaning house together.....leads to good sex?"

Are all these skydiving injuries? What are you guys doing! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

He seems to be light 150 pounds on something like 280 or 300 sqft. d123 Mate I'm a solid 185lbs naked and I was landing a well work 260. Do you think if I were to ask the DZ to put me on a 280 or bigger I too can have solf landings like this if I flared at the right height. No disrespect to any one, but swooping is not my thing. I have a bike for that. I just wish to come down soft and safe. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I'm a very complicated guy. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

No....a simple "Girl, we have to talk about our life and where we are going." conversation. I never thought I would have to have it but it was needed and she apologized and now we are much better. We sometimes forget that a simple honest conversation is all that is needed. So, no. No smack down was needed nor warranted nor ever appropriate.

+1! This very issue almost led to us getting a divorce. I don't mind cleaning the house and making dinner while she is at university. It's just a part of being a good husband. But she wasn't doing her part of being a good wife and showing me how thankful she was. But we had a frank discussion a few months back and well now she gets it.

REALLY! I guess I should have made it a yes no answer? I think I'll be beeping and beeping good. Add to it that I'm from Iran and I expect to get my ass grabbed by many a security guards even though it's my shinbone that has a titanium rod.

Got titanium? Just speaking with a number of people in my office I was simply amazed at the number of people who now have titanium bits and pieces in their bodies. Be it a rod such as I have or a bit of screws and a plate. So I was just wondering who here is…..how shall I put it…upgraded? And for how long have you had these upgrades?

In all my jumps I never had anything that soft! His forward speed coming in was easily 1/4th of what I had. My god what am I / was I doing wrong?

Wendy, Now I'm not sure of the model I saw but we were able to get ok reading from unmowed grass (+-/2ft). I'm not an expert in the field but from what I gather the sound waves are bouncing off the water and the rocks and not so much as the grass. Now would it work? Only if you aim it right. So if you are comming in with your feet straight down, assuming you have this little guy attached parallel with your leg then it will give you a reading. If you come in with your feet an an angle then no it will give you a faulse reading. It's just an idea, not that I can make one nor even use one at the moment. But I agree nothing is better than a good radio and a good instructor. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I got hurt inpart do to an inproper PLF and jumping when i was too windy. All my fualt, 100% But I always had an issue with knowing exactly when to flare. And when the engineer came in with that little range finder I thought "Well will you look at this! What a cool little device....I wonder how I can use this?"

d123 Yeah sorry abou that, I'm an engineer and we engineers are always trying to find mechanical solutions to lifes great problems.

Yeah but look at me, one bad mistake and I'm out for a year. If I had a better understanding of how high I was I would have flared harder and maybe have walked away. It won't be the end all and be all of the sport but it will help poeple learn to judge height off the deck.

The calling of X girl friends....oh that's so bad! I've been there I've done that....and sure you get some but then it all goes to poop so fast!

At about 4 days out I start getting nutty! When I go on travel it's the worst but when I come back I more than make up for it. I don't know, maybe I have a problem? Are your arms starting to look like this? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Sy-dqYXcA3c/R1Z9W_3i6VI/AAAAAAAABVQ/CxaMlfDD2R0/S300/popeye.jpeg Are you screaming your own name? Have you started to lower your standards? In that women well over 300lbs are starting to look better and better every day? Or worse, have you started calling your x girl friends?

I was thinking it would make a good teaching aid. It's not easy to judge 20ft or 10ft. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

I work in a high tech facility with many people who have IQ's that make most people look dumb. One of them after hearing about what happened suggest perhaps a simple acoustic range finder strapped to ones leg with an audible signal would assist in learning height perception. He even had one on hand, about 1in across and ran on a 9volt battery. It was solid state and looked very rugged and could be set to buzz when a given range was needed. I can see it as a good tool if used properly. Maybe when I get better and I gather the guts to get back into the sport (thought 8 jumps hardly qualifies as being in the sport) I'll give it a shot.

Nope honest! She loves the soccer mom jokes. She does say I'm shallow but that she has seen worse. But that she is ok with it because I'm honest about it and I am just as critical of myself. Like I said, in the end it's all about finding someone who gets your jokes. Now if you wish to be crass and rude to me, who you don't know from a grain of salt, ok. But it really reflect poorly on you when you pick on my friends or family. I hope you find someone who gets your jokes. Because in the end, well all just want someone we can joke around with and smile. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

She likes the soccer mom jokes Get's a good giggle out of them. In the end it's all about finding some one who gets your jokes. Sure it would be super great if they were a perfect ten and were tallented and had gobs of cash but it's all about finding some one who gets your jokes. Even the off color dorky ones about how soccer moms dig guys who wear all their moto gear to the local grocers.

So from reading all this, it's about getting the height right and fully commiting to the flare? God it sounds so easy but I know it's not.
