Opinions on my future rig colors?
silent_pumpkin replied to silent_pumpkin's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
but...but...I want a purple harness I thought about gray for the trim, but it looked odd on the 3D simulator, black just seems more appropriate and no need to add to the variety. Thanks for the thoughts. -

I hadn't thought of this, probably would send it back for repairs if it really came down to it. Thanks for the heads-up. -

silent_pumpkin replied to silent_pumpkin's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I did think about this...for a split second. Then I considered the facts that I do plan to keep this for a looong time and that I am 5'2", so someone buying this will probably be a girl and not mind the purple. I think neon green/yellow/pink would be much harder to sell. The fact that I'm rather petite would be the main inhibitory factor in trying to sell it. JMHO. -

I thought about using white for the trim, but plan to keep the container for a while and not sure about the dirty/yellowing factor down the road... -

That was a borrowed jumpsuit, so no worries there. I know, I just wondered if there should be more black or purple...I'm not the most artistically inclined and wanted another opinion before I lay $$ down. -

Ready to stop renting and planning to order a Wings. Attached is the color combo I'm thinking of - black and purple. Any thoughts? -
'Low brow' ? It's called 'SHIT my dad says,' not 'shiny, pearls of wisdom spoken by my eloquent father.' To the OP, I love SMDS, provides a laugh which I've been needing a lot lately.

How about having a pleasant first date and then having a random, idiotic hoodlum spit in your face? There's a big back story, but basically I was 16 and feeling confident and the hoodlum acted like an idiot - those combined weren't pretty. Since it happened on BART (SF subway duh), right as the hoodlum was leaving the train, my date was ready to run after (and beat down) said hoodlum, but stayed with me as I was now a crumpled, crying mess. We got back to the end station and I cleaned up. And what does my date decide to do in the BART parking lot as he opens my car door??? - - - - - - - That's right, he kisses me. If the spitting wasn't weird enough, that kiss certainly was beyond awkward. You know what? He was so sweet and protective of me that I could overlook the timing of our first kiss.....and he's now my husband. That happened 10 years ago this July and he still puts up with my shenanigans and is just as sweet as the day I met him.

You know you're hooked on skydiving when...
silent_pumpkin replied to emmiwy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Yeah, but I hate waking up with my heart beating and "cutaway, pull reserve!!" pounding in my head. What a way to wake up...better than being a lawn dart, I suppose. -

Peanut butter in the jelly, or jelly in the peanut butter?
silent_pumpkin replied to DigitalDave's topic in The Bonfire
Being OCD food germ freak and bio major - that is nasty. I know who will not be making me any PB&Js from now on, bastard! -
Peanut butter in the jelly, or jelly in the peanut butter?
silent_pumpkin replied to DigitalDave's topic in The Bonfire
Jelly on one slice and wipe both sides of the knife on the other slice (pre-peanut butter). Apply peanut butter. Done. If you want an answer to contamination, peanut butter in the jelly jar is far superior to jelly in the peanut butter. At least the jelly jar goes in the fridge assuming you are an average person and keep the pb at room temp. Bacterial growth will be halted in the fridge, but jelly in the pb at RT will only exasperate bacterial growth. If you keep both in the fridge, then whatever floats your boat. -
the useless (but educational) trivia thread
silent_pumpkin replied to virgin-burner's topic in The Bonfire
The Blackberry was originally called the Strawberry (its buttons looked like seeds) but people at RIM thought it sounded 'slow'. Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards, but do not walk very well (poorly developed feet). A squirrel can climb down headfirst because it has special joints and bones in its hips/knees/ankles allowing it to rotate its hindfeet 180degrees. The daguerreotype process (1st photos) was only discovered after exposure to mercury from a broken thermometer. Penicillin was discovered when Fleming came back after a week-long vacation. By sheer 'luck', he kept a messy lab and went to clean his petri dishes. He discovered that Staph had continued to grow on the dishes, except where a fungus had contaminated them. Fleming had called this 'mould juice' but later identified it as from the Penicillium genus and thus, Penicillin as its product. -
Are you going to send Christmas cards this year?

I wouldn't want to send them either, if that was the case. That bites -

I'd notice the note, not the address. If you're going to hand write something, let it be something personal and print out the addresses on labels. Just my 0.02. -
I use 2 ways to say 'pecan': Pea-can pie and Puh-cahn (when referring to pecans by themselves) ....I guess the answer to your poll is Pea-can, if just referring to pies...
