Erno's right... need more info. But, I always update my system every month and didn't know about this site when I was running an older OS. Suggest you go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com. That site automatically scans your computer and detects any microsoft related updates/patches you should install to make your system run better. If you're not using windows media player you might want to make that your default and make sure you have the current version.

I don't think we really care where we sleep as long as we get some decent weather to skydive. This NC weather sucks! I'll just bring a hammock and string it up between two trees (or cacti - whichever is more abundant).

I had to think just for a second whether or not to take offense to the "latest fling" comment but I decided against. This girl doesn't do "flings"!

That's not really my picture but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night! Damn, I f@#$ed that up. Think I got my jokes mixed up. Oh well! See ya at the next meeting. No one likes a quitter!

15 yard penalty, Viking, Unsportsmanlike conduct!

(I'm only picking on you because you share the name of my favorite flailing NFL team who managed to lose in the last two minutes yet again - not to mention peppering the post-game report with off-field drama!)

Is that why I'm not at work and I've been drinking since 0930? Partly, AND because it was crappy outside and the last day of the black and gold meet (ie. free skydives) was officially cancelled. The Raeford crew had to relocate to Crazy D's for hot wings and beer!

Seriously, good on you, Michele! Great post! Let's keep our fingers crossed that Uncle Sam considers almost 22 years enough for one monkey and lets him retire this year!

Hi, James! Ever wonder why they called it Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is say your name?

Welcome to the forums!

We'd be glad to have you back... hopefully when the weather's not so shifty! You're right about Tony... enough said!

You actually made more loads than I did. I made 7 between Friday and Saturday and decided not to test the wind gods on Sunday. The Dragon gets testy sometimes at Raeford!

Not sure if I ran into you or not... so many people, so many names for a blonde to remember!

See you next trip!

Alright girls... who else thinks Dave needs to be spanked for that one?

Ok, I'm playing catchup... just returned to the house after a weekend at Raeford. Recovering very slowly.

I'll be flying out on the 25th but a little earlier. Couldn't get on the same flights but I appreciate the offer. See ya in Atlanta!

It won't be long before the skychicks take over!

Hey Lori... I'm sure we'll see you in the women's forum! Like Amber says, we always need more skychicks!

Blue Skies!

All the culture is very confusing for me so I'll just say welcome to dz.com!

Blue Skies!

Great story... glad to hear you're Ok. You'll have to meet my friend Adrian when she gets online. Can't tell her story now - that wouldn't be fair. But once she gets the hang of dz.com I will definitely spill the beans!

Let me try one more time...

Have to add mine... I had more clothes on than anyone and still managed to win. The outfit does not at all parallel my personal habits.

Damn computers!!!

He is a menace but he's an entertaining menace!

Be sure to give Chuckie a nice smack on the ass for me.

Can I linger and squeeze too?

What DZ (or should I say city) are they headed for?

Not sure...

Also, you need 50 posts to get off of newbie status.

Ok, that means I'm getting there. I might follow Nathan's advice for a couple more days!

Cool! See you in Eloy!

Guess like others I have been lurking (mostly in the Women Only Forum) but feel I should do the full intro.

Started skydiving in August at Z-Hills but live in NC. Have been jumping at Raeford since late August. I'm in the Army so I travel a lot so my chances of meeting many of you are great! I'm originally from MN but haven't been to any DZ's there yet.

I am totally taken with all the people and needed this new sport in my life right now. Timing for me the last 6 months has been incredible.

I'll ask all you DZ.comers to look out for my two friends that started shortly after I did. They are en-route to Colorado and should come online as soon as they get settled. They are probably the coolest married couple I've ever met: Kevin and Adrian Keen. They both just got out of the Army and packed up to begin a new life in a new part of the country together. If you run into them, please take care of them!

Hey to all the other newbies! How many posts does it take to get off newbie status? Nathan told me I need to become a "post whore". Told him I wouldn't stoop! Besides, then AggieDave would have competition! (Sorry Dave!)

BLUE SKIES!!!

Well, you've already won points by doing two very important things: 1 - Making your first and then second skydive; 2 - Joining DZ.com and posting.

Welcome to the crowd!

You go girl! I remember how excited I was when I began my new career! You're doing something where you will touch many people's lives and that will be so rewarding!

Good luck!

Ok, it's confirmed, I'm playing! I know now that I've bought the ticket something will come up. Hopefully the skygoddess will be looking out for us girls!

Betsy - Right on girl! I am a kiss pass virgin as well. Think that has anything to do with the full face helmet that I am attached to?
I think I'm going to have to give it up... I have my eye on a monkey that would gladly de-virginize me! Tongue or no tongue!

Tickets are $218 right now from NC to AZ. Might have to jump on the bandwagon.

Amber - most of us DON'T swing that way but it's still fun watching the guys that think we do!

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you!
