Rock on HH! Please accept my apology for my part in the flame war. I love this site even though I may get fired for not working!! Keep up the good work and feel free to slap us around when we need it! 1111, GeekStreak

Sure does! Way back when I got divorced I swore I was gonna get laid again some day and vowed to lose the 60 lbs I had gained in the previous 14 years. Beleive me. 5.5 feet tall and 205 lbs is not a pretty sight! I went from a hefty 205 down to 143 using Herbalife... same stuff as Metabolife, but "natural". Took 4-5 months. Those metabolism boosting things work. The catch is, if you keep doing what got you "fluffy" in the first place, you'll get "fluffy" all over again when you quit taking them. 1111, GeekStreak

Me too. As Garp (as in The World According to...) would say, "It's pre-disastered".

LOL!!! I'm a fledgeling EVERYTHING when it comes to skydiving! Saturday will be my 3rd SL jump. I just thought it would be a good chance to meet some of the dz.com members... guess I was wrong. Please excuse me while I go sulk... 1111, GeekStreak

Everyone is beautiful... in there own waaaayyy. Everybody Sing! La la la la la la la, la la la la.... I forget the words. 1111, GeekStreak

Hmmmmm ... looks like I jump in a dz.com dead zone. 1111, GeekStreak

I couldn't agree more! 1111, GeekStreak

I'll be at the Bastille Day on the Blue Ridge Freefly Extravaganza with Mike Ortiz this coming Saturday. Will there be any other DZ.com members there?? I'd like to meet you! 1111, GeekStreak

Click on your screen name. You'll see the link at the bottom. CORRECTION: Click on anyone else's but yours! I think you found a bug. Since you have no 'newbie' title your probably screwed until you hit 'enthusiast'... just a guess. I'd post that in the bug forum if I were you. 1111, GeekStreak

OMG! That IS radical! Glad you're feeling better. 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

BTW: How's your head feeling?? 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

nope 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

That's so cool, Donna! Welcome back! 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

OOOOOOO!!! Planning a first, are we??

What did it say?? 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

Wanna buy my clubs? I quit golf when I made my first jump! 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

Right now I just want to freefall!

How cool! I've been training my Jack Russell Terrier, Maggie Mae, to ride in my coat while riding my motorcycle. That way she'll be more comfortable in a tandem harness later. If she develops door fear I figure I'll just throw a rabbit out the door and she'll follow! j/k about the rabbit

I had that very same car in black! 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

WooHoo For You !!! 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

Cool! What a great story this will make after you found your home in that big way! Please share with us afterwards

They signed up during the SNAFU a while back. HH says they are newbies that will eventually get titles when they reach enthusiast. 1111, GeekStreak M-00001

As usual, Michelle, you said it best

That's not good. They should have tought you that ! Is it a USPA DZ? I've only made 2 SL jumps and I'm admitedly ignorant to the inner workings of a good DZ, but ... I feel quite safe at my DZ. I've received lots of instruction all along the way. I've even had the benefit of student JMs training me followed by my JMs instruction and debriefing of the student JM in my presence. How cool is that? I had a mini-clinic occur on my back during my first gear check. The S&TA, my JM, a student JM, and a couple of un-named (thank you whoever you are) jumpers all checked my gear before I went up. There are SIMs and FARs available to review while you wait and wait and wait for perfect student weather conditions . There's a harness to practice on, lots of pictures of the DZ and canopy malfunctions, the c-182 sits right in front of the hanger, and there tons of nice skydivers to talk to. I'm afforded every opportunity to learn the things that I need to know... and I like the sign above the hanger door "Welcome to Skydive Orange. Please don't hurt yourself."

Luck and blue skies!! 1111, GeekStreak M-00001
