What is the best advice you ever got?

Blame the site I copied and pasted from.:P
It's amazing how many errors those sites have.



Sheesh! Take responsibility for your own posts. >:(:D. I mean, what's going to happen, now that the idea of stray Lone Rangers taking over has been put out out there, because of an ill-thought response to a post? We could be overrun by a host of "High-Ho-Silver"ing".

It's the stuff of nightmares :o

Well, technically there have been multiple Lone Rangers:
John L. Barrett
George Seaton
James Jewell
Jack Deeds
Earle Graser
Brace Beemer
Fred Foy

Got it here, from somebody's sig line, honestly don't remember whose. It's served me well in skydiving, but even more importantly (perish the thought!) it's served me INCREDIBLY well in the world of EMS and nursing:

"If you have time to panic, you have time to be doing something more productive. "

...and when it comes to EMS and nursing I always add, "and if there isn't time to panic, well, just start compressions."

"I've got 3000 jumps, and I won't jump in winds like that"

I can't remember the guy's name right now, but I had 50+ jumps and went up when winds were howling, just because there was a load going up. Pilot put us out about 3/4 mile out to compensate for the uppers, and I ended up crashing 3/4 mile out the other side of the DZ. :$

Hint: it's the same guy who became infamous for climbing up on top of the super king air t-tail 200 at the tail and posing for video/pics before sliding off, at the WFFC over a decade ago, IIRC. The FAA wanted his ass then. :D

Don't change who you are - just try to be your best self.


ETA: My mom always believed in me... She said all kinds of things like "if you really want something, you'll find a way" or if I asked her should I try something, her answer was invariably yes. So much so that when I mentioned skydiving, she said: "let's jump together!" She did her first (and only) IAD jump seconds before I did mine - I was very touched.

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Working for a survey crew when I was in high school. I was driving the 50 miles from the office to the land we were working one morning and moving up the road pretty good when the old guy sitting beside me said, "Son, it takes a stupid son of a bitch to get a speeding ticket on the clock.":)
