Also on Ifilm is a couple of funny video's on that ifilm here: Talking bare men's butts and girl in bathtub wanting 'something'. New pin jewelry!

I think it was on that site, Ifilm. Pretty weird! New pin jewelry!

Yeah, him too. They actually named Dz.com as the main source of the 'problem'. He really didn't even surf on it that much, he just left it open while he did other stuff and flipped back and forth sometimes. I kinda wonder if they thought he was viewing it that whole time ;) Shit :) New pin jewelry!

LOL! Got that yesterday too. Printed it and took it to work. They all made copies and spent the day actually trying to use it until my friend decided it was too hard and just said "Fuck off! That's easier to remember!" haha New pin jewelry!

Oh Zennie be careful! It ended up being an excuse for them to use when they let Merrick go :/ New pin jewelry!

Very nice! I love it! New pin jewelry!

LOL! I'm so superstitious that I actually freaked out when I found out about bounce-proofing! hehe It was like "Phew, I'm lucky I didn't bounce!" LOL! New pin jewelry!

Lisa, I've apologized I believe at least three times here. You yourself said you were in a bad mood, so perhaps I'm not the only one at fault, although I AM the only one who's offered an apology. I didn't give you the name canopynazi, either. I also never said I didn't think you had good intentions. Just that you don't like when someone disagrees with them. I don't consider myself any less safety conscience and I definately don't think I'm less concerned about others' safety. I, do, however respect a person's right to choose without giving them a hard time about it or making them feel irresponsible for their decision. I've been accused of being foolish and irresponsible for skydiving at all. Perhaps I should quit. They know better then I what is good for me. Argh! I'm sorry..I keep saying I'm going to quit even looking at this thread. I promise everyone else...I'm shutting up on this. This is almost as bad as the ole' Cypres debate. Don't want to be a muck dragger, with the moderator no less :) Have a good weekend! New pin jewelry!

Oh absolutely Zen. I'm certain she has more knowledge then myself from her experience, I'm not debating that at all. And good opinions are always welcomed. It's when things are said about the fact you choose to do something other then that person's opinion that bothers me. But that's my own personal philosophy, live and let live. For instance. Say you're told on here you should never ever downsize to a certain canopy. You then talk to your JM, someone with about 5000 jumps and your DZO, heaven knows how many jumps, and they say "No, I think it'll work for you." so you do it. They know you and you trust them. Then you tell the first person "Guess what I did?" and they think you've made a big mistake and tell you so. Ultimate decision is yours and hopefully you've made an informed one, and everyone will wish you well on it. Anyway...that's all. I'll hush. Again, sorry. New pin jewelry!

Out of curiousity, how many of you have bounce-proofed your logbook? I was thinking about that today while I was copying Merrick and mine. (Just in case we lost it or it got stolen or something...I freaked out at the thought after it came up on here a while back...hadn't thought about that before!!) New pin jewelry!

Yeah Darkzone!! Good to hear that you stuck with it and are doing well now!! Let us know when you get your "A"..we're pullin' for ya :) New pin jewelry!

ROFL!! It's a going theme right now Dave hun :) hehe And here I thought I was doing so well with keeping my hole shut lately :) This is actually very interesting Skreamer! I never really thought about where it might have started. I know that I felt like a poser at the thought of getting one before I graduated and got my A. It just snowballed from there *laugh* New pin jewelry!

THAT is what upsets me! You just basically said that everyone on this forum is not as intelligent or safety conscience as yourself. A pretty arrogant statement. Everyone has a right to do as they like....and anyone has a right to give their opinion on it. Telling them their an idiot for their decision is stepping over lines. THAT is how things got out of hand before. New pin jewelry!

Okay, here goes. I'm so sorry that this thread ended up going in this direction. I was kinda afraid it would, THAT'S why I joked around about it in the beginning. (Thanks Aggiedave...that is exactly how it was intended.) As it turns out, my joking to actually make light of things STARTED something simply because someone is in a 'bitchy mood' (self-proclaimed). I downsized according to recommendations by people that know me, JM's AND the DZO. I'm not preaching it, nor am I preaching NOT to do it. I, personally, feel like it's none of my business what anyone else does. I can give my opinion, but I've heard more *preaching* about not downsizing then actually hearing people trying to talk others into downsizing faster. Again, I'm sorry that things went this way out of what I thought was just a teasing remark. This is all just sad and ridiculous how careful we have to be anymore. Things have changed a lot since the old Dz.com days. Newbies who want to brag about graduating or just starting progressions get less acknowledgment then a boobies thread. Is that truly necessary? This is the kind of language that has been closing threads quickly, and unfortunately very frequently, anymore. New pin jewelry!

Hmmm...apparently. Cripes. Was just teasing, but I will keep my posts on a more serious from here on out. So sorry. (had no idea about the resignation either...haven't kept up that close with the whole canopy nazi drama) New pin jewelry!

*looking around for Skybytch* 21 jumps on a Manta 288 1 jump on a skymaster 230 11 jumps on Triathlon 160 Now Sabre 135 with 40ish jumps so far and 1 on a Hornet 150 (borrowed) and 2 on a Chuteshop 170 (borrowed) I'll be with the Sabre indefinately providing I don't pull an Ally McBeal, which I don't foresee happening :) New pin jewelry!

Oh yeah Emmie!! I'm so happy for you!!! Congrats girl! New pin jewelry!

Holy crap! Quite a span there! Good luck to ya :) New pin jewelry!

You know what's funniest? That no where on DZ.com can you find a picture of your face! LOL! Butt and frontal view, but no face :) New pin jewelry!

Holy s***! You really did it! Cool! LOL! New pin jewelry!

Lots and lots of water. Before bed, whenever you wake up and when you get up. Ibuprofin or something of that nature before going to sleep. Some tomato juice helps too (or something with tomato...something in the tomato helps a lot with hangovers). Has anyone tried the new Morning stuff from Alkaselzer? I bought some but have woken up the two times I might have needed it since clear of hangovers so haven't tried it yet. I like the commercial though. "Feel better then you should." LOL! New pin jewelry!

ROFL Dave! Congrats Chris!! Things are going to change so much, but it'll be amazing :) New pin jewelry!

I can't believe I didn't figure out it was you Monkey! Duh! I didn't even notice the captions Very cool! She seemed to be doing okay with it and seemed genuine when she was cheering about how fun it was. New pin jewelry!

Congrats Jessica!! Good to hear of some good people makin' it :) New pin jewelry!

I watched a pretty cool show the last weekend about the Golden Knights. It had Joan (Collins I think?? The blonde news lady) doing the wind tunnel then doing a couple of tandems with them while they did a formation on the second one. But it was neat to watch her talk about things she was finding out, like how little you need to change body position to totally change how you fly and such. She seemed to really dig it too. It was a pretty good little show. (It was funny...I didn't even know it was on, and our son came running in to where Merrick and I was watching TV yelling "Skydiving is on!!!!" hehe) New pin jewelry!
