Way to go Lisa! We all knew you would do it.

Hmmm....Kitten or pleasure? Kitten or pleasure? I'm going to have to go with pleasure on this one. Tee

Good luck and have fun! Hope you run into my sweetie down there, he's there from Tuesday till Tuesday.

BA HA HA HA HA!!! We went out to a club with male strippers for my girlfriends stagette and here were some of the events planned - after 11pm, the men were let into the club: - Buck-a-suck lifesaver T-shirt which made her $75 - Scavenger hunt in the club including getting a condom from the mens washroom, getting a signature on your body from a bartender (place of his choice) - large penis drinking cup that must be used all night - Blow up doll lovingly named Mr. Munchy and dorned with underwear stuffed to look politically correct that she must carry all night. If she was caught without it there was a list of things she had to do. etc. etc. This was also in the days where we did not feel really old being in the clubs like we do now, but it was a ton of fun!!! Tee

Awww... thanks guys, I am sure going to miss being there!

I hear ya!!! Last monday we got a dump of 44cm (approx 18 inches)...it was melted by Wednesday but damn, what's up with that?!?!?! And my sweetie is at Skydive Arizona right now and it is 100 degrees F. I soooooo need to move south.

If it wasn't for this whole "6 months pregnant" thing I would have been there *pout* Have fun!!!

And if you get REALLY good at it, just think how happy your woman will be Tee

[whiney voice] No fair, I wanna be a turbine snob! [/whiney voice] Actually I have jumped from otters, caravans, king airs, skyvans, a fokker etc. and as fantastic as they are. I would miss our turbo 182 and 206s. Like Skybytch says, there is something to be said about the experience of sitting on the floor in a tangled mess with your fellow jumpers and kissing the pilot on the way out. (the wide body, turbo cessnas with extra large steps are a must though) However, I wouldn't kick a turbine out of our dz!

Sure they do.

Hey Merrick. I have no advice to offer, but I do want to say that your helmet looks fantastic!!! Tee

My sweetie and I will have the same dreams at times. TOO CREEPY!

H A P P Y BIRTHDAY !!!!! Tee

Dove, that exact same thing happened to me. I was married to a man 8 1/2 years older and it was great at the beginning but when he entered the next phase and I didn't things began to get really bad. You can only compromise so much for so long, but if the differences in what you need in life are too extreme, things can fall apart. Tee

Hey we're still getting snow! Let me know how the demo goes. Tee

Great news! You'll be back in the air in no time.

ROFLMAO! I learnt that the hard way. It was a particularly windy day so we decided to do a cross-country jump from 10,500. I exited facing the wind, pulled...nothing...nothing...now my body is turning downwind...still belly-to-earth, I see my canopy out in front of me fluttering. Soon enough the slider came sliding down and I prepare myself for the spanking that lay ahead. After swinging back under canopy, we made it 13 miles that day! tee

Doesn't that just fit perfectly with the "poop chute" conversation. If only they would let us get close to the spot. tee

EVIL, EVIL man! I would drink now, but this baby would come out and be a french skydiver or something terrible like that. Tee

As mentioned, there are certain canopies, such as the Sabre, that have a habit of opening very quickly and can really spank you. Rolling the nose is a great technique for the Sabre to make sure you have consistent soft openings. The Spectre, on the other hand, is generally a slow opening canopy so there usually isn't a need to roll the nose. Tee

Ohhhhhhh...pisco sours...brings back many an "interesting" evening. tee

And Clay would know. Tee

And for us Canadians, that dime will be worth a whole 16 1/2 cents! Boy won't I get the best end of the deal. tee

OMG, I find myself agreeing with Clay on an issue about women.

I've got a nickel...but what would you do for 10 cents?
