    Thanks guys, nice to know that skydivers in the US are as friendly as the ones I've met in the UK and Spain (where I did my AFF)



    I don't think it matters where you go in the world, skydivers in general are pretty friendly people. I've personally only jumped here in Canada, so I vouch for the Canadian skydivers ;) .

  4. My advice is take the job and jump if possible. IF the DZ is closed during the winter save the money you would have spent jumping and jump twice as much come spring. Taking the winter off of jumping does suck but it won't kill you. I don't jump all winter because of the lack of cash and the cold ass weather. Don't worry, it will be spring before you know it.;)

    Years and years ago my husband and I owned and managed an apartment building. I learned during that time that most people are rude and don't care that they are using up your time. I learned to look at it this way. If they were rude enough to not keep their appointment with me, then there is no way I wanted them renting from me. It weeds out the bad seeds that you don't want to deal with when it comes time to collect rent money.

    Try not to let it worry you. So enough the right person will come along, and you'll know it, cause they will have either cash or check in hand.




    I must say that you're right, I really wouldn't want any of those people living in my house. It pisses me off how they act but I guess it's better to see their true colors now and not later. It's allways better to look at the positive side of a situation so "Thanks" :)

  13. I'm currently renting out two rooms in my house and I can't believe the mentality of the people interested (well somewhat). I've had at least 8 different people set up a time to look at the place and not show up. I've even asked them to call back if they can't make it but that has not helped. I've also had 3 different people say they want the room and will be back later in the day with a deposit. "please just call if for some reason your not coming back" you would here me say but all 3 neither called nor returned. What the fuck is wrong with these people?>:( Too many assholes out there I guess....

  14. Well, I finally got to jump this weekend, I jumped twice yesterday and once today. Have not jumped since early october so it felt really good to get back in the air. Anyways on the second jump yesterday (close to sunset) I had a bit of funny incident in freefall. As I was doing a front loop my helmet flew right off my head. The adjustable part on the chin strap was a bit loose and just before jump run I believe I theaded the strap threw the clip the wrong way. After I had deployed and was under my main for about 30 sec I actually got to watched my helmet go by. I saw where it landed but it was getting dark so it was picked up the next morning. Bit of damage to it but I think I can fix it. All and all a pretty funny experience. :)

  15. This is a message to all the skydivers in the Northern U.S. and Canada : It is almost May and the weather is getting nicer..... So it's time to come out of Hybernation and get back in the sky.Time to make up for all that time sitting and thinking about this sport and actually go out and do it.:)

  16. You just modivated me to study more for my exams.
    Thanx aggie dave! you saved the day again;)

    (that second sentence is a tad sarcastic but was written in fun and not meant to belittle any parties involved)

    (hehehe:):o:D[:/]:S:(:|:)

  20. I went out to the DZ on thursday hoping to make my first jump of the year and the plane was gone. "It's being serviced, but will be back tomorrow" I was told. Okay. Friday: Arrived at the DZ, "the plane is on it's way back, should be here in half an hour" o.k. . The plane arrived all right but I seemed to be the only sole there that actually wanted to jump . "Need a min of 3 to go up" , well I wasn't going to pay for 3 slots, so guess what? I didn't jump. [:/] Kinda pissed me off. Weather sucks here today plus I'm studing for exams anyway. Hopefully I can jump next weekend. I ended up chatting with the rigger there who was very nice, then we watched a freefly video so it wasn't all bad, but I still would have rather jumped :|. oh well...............

  23. I remember reading about a guy a few months back in Toronto that was driving down a one way street the wrong way at about 5 am while downloading kiddy porn on his laptop and was also not wearing any pants. Imagine being the cop coming across that one :D
