    That song was popular when I was a little kid. I remember hearing it on the radio and and wondering what on earth they were talking about... My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    And I would watch it! He's probably more interesting than most other reality show stars . . . And smarter too, even if he isn't the brightest dolphin... My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    He's probably in negotiations for a reality show as we speak. My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    "Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues, And you know it don't come easy." -"It Don't Come Easy" by Ringo Starr (and George Harrison) May sound a bit sappy, but for me it's true. Then again, I never was a fast learner. And for laffs... My momma talking to me trying to tell me how to live, But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve! -"Earache my Eye" by Cheech & Chong My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    Thanks, UliToo. I'm not sure what's a bigger surprise- that I became a skydiver or that my duck character has gotten so much kind feedback. Good luck with your progression (Though I bet you do great!)

    FIFY Heh heh. Thanks! I'm not exactly mastering this sport yet, but I have learned that I can (and have!) gotten better at things that once gave me trouble. My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    That's impressive. I'd never have the patience to do something so elaborate. And when I first glanced it it, I didn't have my reading glasses on and mistook it for a photograph! My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    Very good! "777" is still up for grabs. Same author.

    I definitely felt the drop on my first jump (a tandem) but it became much less noticeable with each jump. Now it doesn't feel like a drop at all. I'm not sure if my early nerves were exaggerating the sensation... ...or if I just got desensitized after doing it repeatedly. My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    And I was sure someone would beat me as I struggled to get "Thoroughly" spelled correctly. Here's some kid books... Junk Continent White Ugliness The Text of the Tame My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    Not sure what this one would be... ...but if it were "Afghanistan" by itself I'd say it was "South Pacific!" My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    Thanks, Trafficdiver. Hopefully my jumping-with-others skills will have improved by the time we go out the door together! My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    Good wishes on the way! (but I bet you'll do a fine job ) My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    Docking is when you do it correctly. Ducking is when you'd like to dock, but backslide, shoot past the dockee, find yourself in burbleland... When you debrief, you say "I ducked up!" Do the longer daylight hours in the summer make up for lost winter time? That's one of my favorite "episodes." Boy, was I scared! When I get nervous now I remind myself "Well, it used to be a lot worse..." My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    I agree. This too.

    This line made me laugh: My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.
  23. Namowal
    Oh, did you really just say that? I say it doesn't count until I end up actually docked to two other people. My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.

    I'm the biggest chicken ever- I'm the type who gets nervous on a stepladder. Even looking at pictures and videos of people leaving the plane scared me! Yet it didn't stop me from going out that !@^&* door each time. I'm still quite new at this, but so far learning how to skydive is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's been amazing. When I was little, Peter Pan was my favorite story and I remember thinking it was too bad that it wasn't real- that you couldn't really fly or go to Neverland. Well, this comes pretty close.

    Thanks. More adventures to come, including what happened on my first attempt at a 3 way jump. I'm surprised the video isn't circulating as one of those slapsticky "Fail!" clips. My blog with the skydiving duck cartoons.
