  1. I don't know if there's anything official, but Travis and I will be there, and we'll be glad to slap (heh) together some freefly dives after the competition for any who are interested. Travis will be organizing the next weekend at Skydive Atlanta anyway, so he may want to get his feet wet this weekend. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  2. Holy crapola! Cool! Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  3. You should start a thread on this. It seems like an interesting topic. Personally, I started dating my husband when he had about 900 jumps and I had about 250. I married him when he had about 1600 jumps and I had about 950. Now, he has about 1700 jumps and I have about 1000.
  4. OMG, I can't believe I made a list with those three women! It's such an honor! Come to the SDA Halloween boogie, you have officially sucked up enough for some free coaching!
  5. um.....thanks. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  6. Ever have a serious conversation, and the other person says something like "Yes, I do do that on occasion." It's freakin HILARIOUS! In my recent job interview several of the lawyers I spoke with said "do do." It was all I could do not to laugh. Got any good "do do" stories? Do you usually try to ignore it, or snicker and point it out? Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

  8. Because it implies a serious lack of respect. If you're just spending money on a woman to have sex with her (hence the prostitute analogy), you are basically saying that you're not spending money to "eat & drink well, have fun.." You're spending it to get laid. I would call eating and drinking well and having fun having a relationship with someone (albeit a shallow one, but hey, we can't always date our soul mates). To compare that to prostitution is like saying you only value that woman for how much she's going to put out, not the other stuff. And that's not cool - it's objectifies the woman. She's simply a way for you to have sex, and not a person. Not that I have a problem with prostitution. I just think that most women wouldn't want for a relationship to be thought of as just getting stuff to have sex with someone. And if you read some of the responses by females in this thread, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  9. I'm not replying to you specifically, Lindercles, but geez, am I the only one who is really offended by this thread? I know, I know, "If you don't like it, stay away, don't read it, don't reply, blah blah blah." But if the gentlemen who are replying to this thread really think (or think it's a funny joke) that dating is really spending money in order to just have sex with the woman (instead of actually having to *gasp* have a real relationship with her), then....well.....humph. I'm offended. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  10. Yes, very happily married. Danny Page does freefly. Just not very well. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  11. I'm not an amazing freefly coach or anything, but I'd be glad to go out with you, throw you some signals, and get you on camera. I'm the short blonde in the black jumpsuit, and I'll probably be humping something. We aim to please.
  12. 20:3:0 20 minutes in the tunnel working on belly skills. That makes an hour in the tunnel preparing for the AFF course in the past month. I FINALLY have jump numbers after three weeks! 3 great jumps at Skydive Palatka on Sunday - such a great little DZ.
  13. If you want to get any sleep, I would suggest getting a room - that party goes so late and the hangar BOOMS until the wee hours of the morning. (That, and your tent might fall victim to some drunk shenanigans!) And we got in trouble last year for trying to camp farther away from the hangar - the FBO will only let you camp close to the parking lot.

  14. A friend of mine in my office has one - she says half the guys are not cute at all - the cover guy is the cutest one.
  15. I have BAD senioritis. I already have the job and the cool house to move into in Chattanooga. All I have to do is get a 67 in all my classes to graduate with honors. Work is so boring. And I can't make myself DO ANYTHING. I probably spent more time figuring out the lowest grade I could get in my classes to still have the honors cords than I have done for all of my classes this semester. Combined. Any others experiencing the same thing? What was your senioritis like? Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  16. I didn't think I was being hostile. I'm sorry if it came across that way. Although it kinda sucks when someone demeans your chosen profession as enabling terrible people in ruining people's lives, I'm quite used to the idea.
  17. I do disagree. But it's not worth it to explain why - you haven't sat through the horror that is a law school ethics class. Besides, lawrocket and Andy9o8 have already posted eloquently on the issue. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  18. I don't think that filing suit against someone who made you lose a job is "suing someone when they say something we don't like." There's a big difference between saying things that mess with someone's livelihood and saying things that we don't agree with. Then again.....I don't know why I bother. It's amazing that this kind of opinion is most commonly expressed by those who know nothing about the legal profession. Characterizing people who file lawsuits as those who are mad because they "don't get their own way" is a misnomer. People don't file lawsuits because they feel like someone should pay for their mistakes. They file lawsuits because someone ELSE caused them harm. I can totally respect Krisanne's position - it truly is about what an individual thinks is worth a lawsuit. But I have personally lost a job because my boss was extremely sexist, and if I were back in that place again, knowing what I know, I would think that a month and a half of having to do landscaping in Florida in the summertime to make ends meet would be worth something. And I've just accepted a job at a defense firm. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
  19. While I agree that the notice thing is probably a misunderstanding, it's unlikely that simply telling a prospective employer that she didn't give notice would be the reason the prospective employer decided not to hire her. Her previous employer would likely have to tell them something much worse. Of course, I'm not too experienced at these things. Either way, if a person kept me from getting a job I wanted, I'd pursue legal recourse. This person messed with her life, and kept her from getting significant money. Plus, these kinds of tort actions are often contingency-based, so she won't be out of pocket if she does decide to sue. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  20. From what little I remember from my torts class, you can probably sue that lady for however much the job would have paid you, for however long you probably would have stayed at the job. I think you should go talk to an employment or tort attorney - it will be worth the money if they charge for a consult. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  21. I learned very early that when I drink liquor, I have a hangover - VERY upset stomache, usually. So I don't drink liquor anymore. Otherwise, I'm such an unbelievable lightweight that I can't really drink enough to get hungover - my limit is three glasses of wine or 4 beers - any more than that, and I'm on the floor anyway.

  22. Wow. I was just about to post the same thing about Travis. He really is the only person I ALWAYS want to see. And I really think that he's going to keep me young at heart because we're always playing. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

  23. We're not sure - probably Deland or Palatka - they're both on the way home. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie
