1. I have learned the hard way to NEVER use the spell checker on this site. 2. It came from another forum that I go to a lot. But it was a lot of fun, Jerry Baumchen For the life of me, I still cannot figure out that word. I'll probably whack myself when someone clues me in, because then it will make perfect sense. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

I understood all words except "sgtrane" without thinking about it. My question is: How the heck did you do that w/o spell check giving you hissy-fits? lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Yep. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

WTF is wrong with people? Unless this street is cleared similar to a Hollywood "shoot", how the hell do they expect the innocent children to be safely cloistered away? lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

My favorite instructor in art school illustrated a children's book, titled "My Dad's a Smokejumper". Does that count? lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

I think it depends on how adventurous (mine were not) or prudish (very) your parents are. Mine had no desire to watch the jumping, because it scared them silly, and probably would been apoplectic to have seen what really went on after hours. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

I'm with you there! A 40 ft. jump into the water-filled quarry at Elsinore is about my limit! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Seems very suspicious to me. Although, a "shute" for a grand seems like a "steal" to me. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

John, I couldn't agree with you more, It doesn't matter what the job is. Fireman, cop, SEAL, Ranger, Marine… If you don't qualify (physically, mentally, emotionally) to actually do the job, you should not have the job. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

A local "celeb". He did a lot of charitable stuff, but was constantly in trouble with the law. RIP. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Hmmmm, Bunkhouse. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

You picked a good time to be in DC. Normally, the middle of August is nasty, hot and humid, but it's been great as of late. I think the whole weekend is supposed to be beautiful!

It's funny... I was initially against having a cat because I also believed they couldn't give a shit. But in my experience, NOTHING could be further from the truth. The difference between dogs and cats lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Do or do not, there is no try. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

(some) Cats are smarter than people may think. I've had several cats that I've taught to sit on command, one I taught to fetch (and retrieve), and a few who were leash trained. But, the problem is most of them couldn't give a shit. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Yep, Billy, you've pretty darn-near out-done yourself. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Thanks for checking this out. Unfortunately, I'm still not getting any notifications as of this writing. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Hey, THAT'S a real concern! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Clickified for your viewing pleasure! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Can we expect them to ever show up anymore? lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Oooooops! Sorry for the drift, p5. Congrats! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

I think I was on that jump! Mike and I did a night dive at Perris on that same night. A 5-way w/cluster to a 10-way round. How many 10-way night dives could there have been on that night? lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Just when I thought these people couldn't get any more ridiculous. funny how people are able to carry on conversations at a drop zone during the day, isn't it. WHAT? lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9

Hi "P-5," That's quite a number,"294,840!!!" That means that since USPA, and even before, PCA, finally decided to get everyone's "USPA #" in some chronological order, yours is "That" number, the "Newest" member of the Sport!! "Congrats!" Funny how that goes, 'have to do some diggin' in my "archives" but "back when" PCA just issued numbers yearly or something and after they decided to do this "Get Organized" trip, they took all the current members "way back when" and assigned numbers from who was the longest continuous member on up. Well when the smoke cleared, mine was USPA#...............3-5-6!!! That was back in the late 60's or early 70's?? Yup!, "356!!" Funny how that goes, My buddy Caz Zielewski signed some dude' log with his "4-digit" "D" license # and the dude went to the DZO complaining that Caz didn't use "enough numbers????" As the now late Frank Gallop would say....,"R-E-A-L-L-Y-!!!!!" 'Some of us are that old......and still....."SKYDIVE!!!!!!"...."Like ME!!!" I think I have a lower FB # than you though. How'd that happen? lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9
