All acne really is, is a skin infection. Some times antibiotics applied directly to the skin work but other times oral antibiotics work better. Shame more people don't understand this. So many lives could be made better with a bit of info. Shah Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

When you do the math per minute there are a lot of cheaper things to do in life than fall from altitude. First 1K ft in 10 seconds, every 1k ft after 5 seconds. 11K ft => 5k ft = 35 seconds @ $22 not including gear. But I can't think of any other activity that brings me such peace. But be it ever so fleeting. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Yeah wooh! That was close! Did you hear about my slide into the tall grass! That's what happens when you are a total n00b and use one canopy one day and another the next. NOT SMART! But hay it was jumps #5 (went long into the bushes) and #6 (came in way too fast and skated over the power lines). Jump #7 was much much better but I'm still not proficient in judging my height and visualizing my final. Never the less, I think I got a line on a second hand suit for $100. It's a little longer on the arms and legs which should help a little. As for the riding pants, I was looking at them and they have zippers on the sides and I'm worried they may undo themselves on the way down. But again thanks so much for the help guys! Greatly appreciate it! 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!

Oh relax! OK well I have a pair of really baggy riding pants which I'll try next time. Not only are they super baggy and air tight but....are also black and water resistant so if I go into the mud, it will clean up easier! Thanks guys! Greatly appreciate it!

BDU, you know what the Army / Marine guys wear. Fatigues. And come on, don't lie you like that soccer mom line! But thanks so much for the advice guys. I think I'll do another dozen or so jumps before dropping the big $$$! Thanks so much!!

Yeah ok I learned about how reducing arch will increase my lift in the WT. But is it really that much? Can I at 180lbs fall as slow as a guy @130lbs?

Thanks for your help guys, I think I'll utilize what I learned from my WT time to my free fall time. I'll try arching a little less and putting my arms and legs out a little bit further. I just didn't want to make things too hard for my friends. That being said I'll stop over at the PX and see if I can get my self a BDU to wear so as to not make a mess out of my normal clothes and to maybe slow down just a little.

Well for me right now $ = jump time so.....I'm trying to stay on the cheap. And these things are custom! WOW! OK that explains the price!

+1! Yeah I've had 4 min of tunnel time and it's amazing how mcuh simply moving ones head effects how one "floats" As for the leathers.... http://www.newenough.com/browse/view_product_images/3472$512! And it's leather! What are they making this suits out of! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

NOW THAT THERE IS SMART! I HAVE A HOOK UP WITH BDU'S! So this may work! 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!

$400! I can get a full leather jacket at that price! Hell for $600 I can get a full set of leathers and impress way more soccer moms! OUCH! Wait, if you are 5'11" @180lbs you would fall much slower than me, so I'm the "fat one" Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I'm on AFF-7 and I’ve come to realize that I'm the fastest faller in the DZ! I'm 5'9" @190lbs. And as such I'm thinking I may need a suit to slow down a little so as not to make the lives of my friends difficult for all the coached jumps. Besides not going to the gym and Yoga class and leaning out what would you recommend? What is a "good" suit for a new guy like myself? I'm looking to spend no more than say $200. Thanks!

Are you part Persian? Nope.. I just don't see the sense in re-living a painful hearbreak. Yeah but to "keep" a bitter sweet thought close to ones heart. Such a Persian way of viewing of the world.

Why did I jump? I've only been in the sport for 2 months and have only 6 jumps under my belt and it's the question on every ones lips. "Shah, why are you jumping?" Truth be told I can't tell people why I'm jumping. It's deeply personal. But if I had to sum it up in under a million words? To find inner peace with the world and most importantly with my self. I can't explain it other than to say, by the time my feel are on the ground my mind is at peace.

Hi every one I'm on jump 7 of my AFP. I'm flying a 9 cell Telesis, not sure of the size, or the number of jumps on the system but I weigh 190lbs at 5'9". I'm having a very hard time with my landings. Either I come in too low or too high. Are there any rules of thumb which I can utilize? Such as given a 0mph condition what should be my final approach? And can I rely on my altimeter at such an altitude to help me set up for final? Also I've noticed that some people pull the togles half way before starting their final, what's that about? Is it just to square up and to take stock of the situation? Thanks in advance. Shah Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I took my wife, A Finn, to Paris 4 years ago. She hated it! In Finland she is a Medium, in the US she is a size 6, in Paris.....they just don't make clothes that big!

In this day and age where alcoholism is a major issue with many people, be it do to themselves having issues with drinking or having a close friend or family member who has issues with drinking, not drinking and or not choosing to drinking isn't that unusual and shouldn't be looked as such. I'm sure every one at you DZ greatly appreciated the gesture and are happy with you being a part of the community. I've only been in this sport for 2 months and I've only meet great, kind hearted, and understanding individuals.

Ok, I can get with you on the eating will costing more than eating poorly, but how in the world is drinking well expensive?? Try water. Figure of speech. But yeah crap food will last ages and pennies to buy. Good food? A week at best and 5X the price! And as such, crap goes in crap stays in and people get fat.

My longest relationship before getting married was with a fuck buddy. It was a one night stand that lasted about a year. She was great. To this day I still miss her and her tallents.

According to the BMI I'm at the upper edge as well. But....when we do the fat test and the foat test and the take a deep breath test and the run on this machine till you are blue in the face while we attach stickers to your nipples......I'm not only healthy I'm really freaking healthy! So much so that my life insurance went down by $20 a month! But that being said two years ago I was a bit bigger, a 36in gut at 5'9" which wasn't good. I started taking Yoga classes twice a week and I stopped drinking high fructose corn syrup, and now I'm down to a 33in gut! Weight is the same but I feel better, I sleep better and well the insuarance thing was nice too, But it's not cheap! Yoga sets me back about $100 a month and well eating well and drinking well isn't cheap either. But it's well worth it. For the first time in my life I have a two pack gut :-) So long story short, perhaps this isn't so much a measure of Americans over eating, rather its a measure of Americans now being able to afford to eat well!

hu...I'm 32. How old is Dolly Parton? We are only as old as we think. And in this day and age, age isn't an issue. But I've noticed girls go for the older guys and the older girls love the younger guys. So in a way it all works out.
