I with I was jumping, but I'll settle for wading in the beautiful Atlantic Ocean in the nice warm weather. I'll be jumping next weekend in the frigid air of Idaho (and loving every minute of it!!!)"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

NWFlyer 2 #27 January 19, 2008 QuoteQuoteQuote Has anybody ever done the donating blood for money thing? I'd like to keep my kidney and most of my liver, but selling blood for money doesn't sound too bad. I think you have to sell plasma ... I think whole blood can only be donated in the U.S. Does it pay good? Depends on what you consider to be good pay ... here's what I found by googling... http://www.ehow.com/how_110908_sell-plasma.html You could just get a job."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

ladydyver 0 #28 January 19, 2008 Quote Current conditions are 30 degrees and overcast, ceiling is 1800 feet. Besides that, we currently have no plane, and even if we did, it's hard to scrape up even 4 hardy souls this time of year. Oh, and tomorrow's high is supposed to be 21 and Monday's 17, with lows in the single digits. Vint oh now Vint....you have me at 30 degrees - I am ready to go play but for the reasons you listed -sigh-DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

DougH 270 #37 January 20, 2008 Quote Our DZ is open and jumping despite the high of 24 deg F for the day, but the runway is ploughed and we're going up. I'm calling it a day for me though. I love jumping in the cold, but I was up for a few hours last night tossing my cookies after eatting some chicken that wasn't prepared all the way. So, I may swing out later and help with the accounting, but I'm resting today. Because it is busy season and I work for a big four accounting firm so they have the fuck me on the ass on saturdays instead of giving me the day off. No lube of course, it keeps us inline."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #43 January 20, 2008 Let me see ... It's at least -20C degrees outside and I'd say about 4-5 inches of fresh snow as fallen on the ground in the last 48 hours. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
