  1. It might be a good idea to avoid anything that has those open lace hooks like some Timberland boots do... it's just asking to get caught on something. Something with good ankle support and is comfortable is important to keep in mind too.

  2. Oldie but goodie:

    Whats the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver?


    A golfer goes Wack!, "shit!"...
    A skydiver goes "Shit!" Wack!

    well, its done...I don't remember much after they put the IV in me...in fact when they tried to wake me up I freaked a bit not knowing where I was, then I thought they were trying to wake me up in the middle of the procedure.




    AAAAAAAAck that reminds me I did wake up during my procedure. Not fun, for me or them.

  9. Mine came out with some others but they were never fully developed. One side swoll up some but it went away eventually. Is "swoll up" correct grammar or am I speaking my native redneck again? Apple sauce, ice cream, wendy's frostys. They're right though it's case by case...often depending on how developed they are...have they come in at all? If so ouch and I'm sorry.

    edit: Oh yea...jumping. I think I waited a little while but they put some extra stuff in there that I didn't want getting messed up cause it was kind pricey.

  12. I can't believe noone said when the little turtle is giving the dive brief .. "Alright on this dive..." and then I can't understand a word he says but it reminded me so much of one of my JM's from when I was on student status.

    I hear dam watching is pretty good in China at this time of year. :P

    Pssst...if you have to write a report when you get back, it's dam, not damn. ;)



    hahahah I was all kinds of wrong in that first post. That is kind of embarassing. My only excuse is that it was late at night.

  16. I'm excited since in the past few years they seem to be loosening up juuuuust a little on the whole communist thing. Maybe I can find a black market and load up on $5 copies of $400 dollar software and some Coach/Prada/Louis Vitton bags for my girlfriend. That is if she doesn't break up with me in about 30 minutes when she gets out of class. I'm not very hopeful of that right now.:(

Anyone been and have suggestions on what I should do? I don't suppose they have a dropzone?

    Guess what?

    They're reserving the right to read your e-mail!

    They can keep their privacy invasion e-mail, don't need it.



    I don't think it will be unlike what any of the spam filters all the other services like Hotmail are utilizing.

  20. Froogle has been around for awhile in Beta. They've had lots of stuff in the works for awhile, not just since Yahoo! dropped them. They keep the homepage very clean for a reason, so that it doesn't take long to load and is easy to use, I promise the code those MIT boys and girls are churning out aren't high-schoolish in any way.

    That was your Cobalt, right?



    That opening was on par and a little tame comparied to EVERY opening I've EVER had on a Cobalt.[:/]



    All my openings are like butter on mine. (knocks on wood) I've had a couple with a slight turn but I think it's cause I lean in the harness one way some times. Sorry to hear about the hard opening GFD, hope you recover ok. Mine was on a Sabre 190 after I just learned how to pro pack and it was my first zero-p too. I had BIG ole bruises on my thighs.

  23. Guys: Try peeing and lift up one foot behind you to hold the stall door closed. See if you can keep the flow continuous.

    SKYDIVE NAKED? OMG! :o




    Hahaha I think that is what the girl behind me was thinking when I threw my shorts at her! And in answer to the thread I think I would wrap myself up in my canopy to avoid the indecency ticket from the police.

  25. So my aging cat (16-17ish) decided it would be a good idea to spill water on my laptop while I was visiting home for spring break. So thankfully it didn't fry anything but I don't know the circumstances of the spill b/c my mom cleaned it up when she saw it. I just know that now my Ctrl , S , G and possibly the other control button are not working on my laptop keyboard. Now I've taken apart and cleaned desktop keyboards before and got them working again. I went ahead and disassembled the lappie keyboard as far as I could. I got to the plastic circuit board sheet things which is where I need to be. I can't discern any problems with the board, I have cleaned it and stuff but nothing I do seems to help. Any suggestions? It isn't under warranty anymore and isn't made by a major manufacturer.
