    I just had a FULL rig assembly (Cypress, Main, Reserve, Skyhook) and it took my rigger about 2 hours. Just to give you an idea. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    You would need closer to a household income of $200,000 to live comfortably in Cali. You could find locations in Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Texas, etc... to live fairly comfortably on half that money with the same quality of life. Out of all those states I'd recommend Colorado, but I'm biased. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    When I was going through AFF the weather was too crappy on the first day and we couldn't jump. The same happened the following 2 weekends I went out to try to get my first jump in. I got so antsy to jump that I went to the tunnel to try and get some kind of feel for free fall. I did 10 minutes in the tunnel and looking back it was a complete waste of time and money. At the time I didn't find it that fun or beneficial to my first few jumps. That being said the tunnel is a great place to hone your skills and practice new disciplines. I can see the benefits to teaching new jumpers some basics as well. I passed AFF in 7... Loved all my AFFI's, great peeps. *I am not afraid of dying...

    I'm going to be a meteorite hunter and quit my job. Anyone seen this show - Meteorite Hunter? Man... a meteorite the size of a golf ball is worth like a thousand bucks and these guys are picking them up off the ground like acorns. *I am not afraid of dying...

    Do you think that video was shot in the US? I think that is in Brooklyn. Walked by there a couple of times when I lived there. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    Haha... yeah that too. As far as gays in the military... I think it's mostly a non-issue. I really don't think there are that many people who honestly give a shit about gays in the military republican or otherwise. We all know that gays can look down the barrel probably better than anyone... (sorry I couldn't resist that last sentence, but I was sincere about the rest.) *I am not afraid of dying...

    How would you deal with a mother that smokes pot (grows her own so it doesn't cost anything) but is otherwise a decent mother? Hahaha.... I'm just thinking about ALL the "decent" mothers out there that are growing their own pot. *I am not afraid of dying...

    Hahahahaha.... I'm laughing too, cause this is a complete joke. -Keeping an eye on the lobbyists? Aaah yeah right, thought he already promised that. -Keeping an eye on ear-marks? Hahahaha... -Listen to and work with the Repubs? He's going to have to open the door first. -Obama- "I'm not interested in re-litigating the past." Wow he actually said that with a straight face. He just within the past 15min gave the "Whoa is me for what I adopted" at least 3 or 4 times. *I am not afraid of dying...

    Sweeeeet even MORE shovel ready infrastructure. Maybe they can start by shoveling some asphalt into the potholes I hit every day. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    On the edge of my seat... reminiscing the past year and how nice it's been driving on new roads and bridges everywhere I go . I can only imagine what the future will bring... maybe golden brick roads to the Wizard of Oz. With this administration any promise of hope is possible. *I am not afraid of dying...

    I already filled all of them in... figured it would be easier to erase any that didn't hit. But I used a sharpie cause I don't think I'll need and erasure. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    Probably double that... More than that. It was posted earlier this week, and I reposted it into the "Thong or Boyshorts" Poll thread. It's still funny. Completely fake, horrible CGI, but funny. No way.... That was fake??? *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

    why do you hate poor people that can't afford hands-free? Haha.... Poor people like their cell phones and cell phone accessories, they were the first one's walking around with their blue tooth in their ear every where they went. *I am not afraid of dying...
