I guess it's a good thing that I don't make a living out of the interwebs... Owned by Remi #?

Good catch. I'm sure that eventually someone will say "that could never happen to me". I hope that they have someone looking out for them too. Owned by Remi #?

Medic, FF1 in Palmer Alaska? Jesus... we've knocked head a few times Internet forum wise.... Bur seriously. You f'ing rock, Owned by Remi #?

Starting with strength of character and moving forward? Owned by Remi #?

I see... but I'm not. It must be writing style. I'm a really sarcastic and dry humored type. I don't think that always "types out" well. Owned by Remi #?

I'm not even sure what that means. Is there some behavior requirement? Owned by Remi #?

My personal preferences changed a lot as I learned more and more about skydiving. I started out thinking that RW looked tedious, but I gave it a shot and discovered that I loved it. My suggestion is that you make a goal of getting your license and becoming a competent jumper. Try some solos and see how you really feel. Try a few RW jumps... you may find that it's a hell of a lot more fun than you think it is. Spend some time in the sport and get exposed to the stuff people are doing. If accuracy sounds appealing to you, make it a goal to become as accurate as possible on every landing starting on jump #1. That'll set you up for taking it seriously as a discipline and if you realize that the discipline doesn't really appeal as much as you thought it did, you've still practiced a valuable skill. There's never any harm in being good at landing where you want to, right? It's fine to think about what you want to do, but there's not a lot to be gained in speculation at this point. It takes *hundreds* of jumps just to *start* getting good at something. I have almost 1000 jumps now and I've only tried to sit fly 3 or 4 times. I'm looking forward to giving it some time and effort now that I've achieved some of my RW goals. Owned by Remi #?

Feel free to run my numbers any time. My name really is Kelly Olsen. My profile pic is an actual picture of me. I'm D29848 and I've worked at AerOhio for about 5 years. I've jumped there for 10. My DZO is Sherry Butcher. Owned by Remi #?

Awesome. Hit me up with an actual real name, a home DZ, and a license number and I'll pop for a plane ticket to kiss your ass *and* buy you a beer. Owned by Remi #?

That's really the best time to criticize someone Bill... I mean... you're a mile away from them and you have their shoes. Owned by Remi #?

Keep thinking that way. There's a very loose rule of thumb about maximum wing loading that I like a lot. Starting at about 1 is a good idea. Don't add any more than .1 per 100 jumps. For example, don't go to 1.1 until you have 100 jumps. 1.2 at 200, etc. And keep in mind that those are maximums and that there are many other things to also consider including your overall ability to pilot the canopy you're currently on.

The biggest possible down-side to buying a semi-stowless bag at your experience level is that there may be fewer people familiar with how it works who can help you if you have questions. If you have a local rigger who's accessible to help you, ask them to help you decide. Owned by Remi #?

The wing loading charts don't recommend wing loadings. They list what PD considers to be the highest acceptable wing loading. It's always okay to be more conservative than the highest recommended wing loading. Owned by Remi #?

It can't be any clearer than that. This guy, in my opinion, showed a really appalling lack of judgement. I know how many times I've been guilty of that. The missing mother in this case is the bad guy. Owned by Remi #?

From my non-"mountainside secret enclave house" in the middle of an actual place where other human beings live. You're actually defending a guy who claims to live by a standard set by the biblical Jesus... who openly admits to shunning anyone who doesn't buy into his beliefs? This is so richly ironic.

Meanwhile... I'll just huck my atheist ass over to the shelter and see how many people need a coat. Owned by Remi #?

Not so much as he encourages all to accept his very narrow definition of Jesus... as he strokes his cat on a mountainside and stuffs himself with buttered popcorn and focuses his HD cams on the damned so that he doesn't miss any of the suffering while he chuckles. Owned by Remi #?

Sorry. I may like guys (But not *that* way) Oh, BTW. Nice new profile pic. What were you arrested for? http://www.big10tens.com/now-these-are-some-sexy-mughsots-24-photos/ Owned by Remi #?

Where the hell do you live that harbors all these hostile lesbians? Almost every single one of my lesbian friends is anything *but* hostile to men, including myself. I kinda like guys better than women (just not *that* way) ETA: I forgot to ask. Are you *actually* Jessica Younker or are you just such a huge fan of hers that you're using her picture in your profile. Owned by Remi #?

That rates right up there as one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard anyone say in SC about lesbians. You seem to think lesbians are some kind of genetically and emotionally identical clones Owned by Remi #?

You don't have to have "no money" to be eligible for Medicaid, just low income. And someone with low income can still have assets like the house they've lived in for 50 years... Owned by Remi #?
