ACMESkydiver 0 #1 July 26, 2004 -My 8 year old Sprouty-girl asks me, after looking over at Luke's flying handkerchief... "Because I'm a much better pilot than he is, sweet-pea. You see, you have to be really good like mommy is to fly one of these big ones." Anyone else told skydiving lies to their children? Edited to add: Nope, I don't have a picture of his.... He just got a new SMALLER one last week. An 88, if memory serves. What a nut. And I swear to GAWD Turtle if you make a comment about me and the moon you are sooo dead...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

ACMESkydiver 0 #3 July 26, 2004 Here's another one I tell the lil' dumplin' when she asks why I land out in the middle of the field when everyone else lands next to the 'X' thingy... "Mommy has her own 'X' out there in the middle, and I'm the only one good enough to hit it." -To which the little princess answers, "Yeah. Riiiiiight, mama." ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Push 0 #7 July 26, 2004 It so happens that I have a top quality personal X right here with me! Very cheap, only $100 USD. Think of the savings in jump money it will give you! It's top quality, with a high tech security system. To guarantee that you are the only one who can use it, it is invisible to others -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have just an 'A' not due to accuracy, but due to a promise I made someone...I will not advance until he jumps again. nobody in the group would ever think of landing and aim for that. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
