She has a tremendous amount of courage!

It's non-fiction, and is Rita's personal story of her skydiving experience, tandem-AFF.It's great!

Dysfunctional is good!

Has anybody read the book "Falling Into Place" by Rita M Ippoliti? It's good.

I am a newbie to skydiving, and to these forums, and I just wanted to say how amazed I am at the level of support and friendship here! It certainly isn't like that in other sports! I, for one, want to post my thank you!

Some weed and Days Of Future Passed

I have done a tandem jump and am considering the ISP course at Orange,since I live in Arlington, Virginia.Has anybody been through it?

I go see them every year they're here, and two years ago i got to meet John Lodge!

Very true! When i was young, one thing I remember is the Dodge dealership down the street from us, and the Dodge Daytona Chargers lined up wing to wing! Made me drool even then!

Yeah, my tandem master said it wasen't necessary, but I gave it to him anyway.I told him he had given me one of the most exciting experiences of my life and it was worth it!

That's where I read it too, and I didn't know about jump tickets, what are they?

that's really nice! Drag racing is something else I've always wanted to try!

It does me too! My parents got me "To Our Children's, Children's Children" one Christmas, and I just sat and listened to it over and over, I couldn't believe people could write music that fantastic!

Moody Blues or U2 most of the tme

Snakes are fantastic, I had a 12 foot Boa Constrictor, and a 6 foot Burmese Python.

Fantastic! Mopars are my favorite! A hemi-cuda or a superbee wou;ld make me VERY happy!

Are there any other Moody Blues fans out there?

I went through the same thing once with a baby bird, and if you call a nature center, they can refer you to a Wildlife Rehabilitator near you.

Did anyone else tip their jumpmaster after their first jump?

Ok people, let's get out minds out of the gutter! Awwwwww, never mind!

Anybody else here into 60's/early 70's musclecars???? You know, the need for speed!!!

single malt scotch or Belgian beer

After I made my tandem jump, I found myself breaking into giggles unexpectedly for the next week, and taking time out in my day to relive the experience in excruciating detail!

I made my first tandem jump a couple of weeks ago, and am considering AFF training.One of the programs I'm considering is the ISP at Orange Virginia's dropzone, and another is the windtunnel Aff at Deland.I know it's expensive, but it sure seems the way to save a lot of repeat jumps,from what I've read. Can someone give a confused newbie some good/bad points of these? Thanks so much!

I did eat a couple of hours before the jump, so it wasen't blood sugar.I think it was the straps, but either way, i am DEFINITELY going to do it again!
