I did it, and I'm not sure I'd do it again. I have pictures (one was posted on dz once) and video, but the videographer/photographer was just starting out, so half the time, I'm not even in the video and/or photos. Needless to say, I didn't pay for him to do video.

Haha, thanks! 😂 I just hope the little bastard selling it gets busted for theft. Karma.

Not sure where to post this. There's a rig on eBay that smells like stolen gear. The seller knows nothing about it, no canopy sizes listed, wingsuit, camera, and altimeter (he calls a watch). I can't upload images. Go to eBay, type in "flying squirrel suit." It's a Micron container, black and neon green wingsuit...

Allen was my first tandem instructor, then my AFF instructor. It's a sad deal. BSBD.

I get 8 days for vacation until two years, then it's 10 days. For sick/personal, I get 15 days until two years, then it gets raised to 18 days. I have no idea why we get more sick time than vacation time, but whatever. I call in sick as often as I can when I need a vacation day.

Bug is my little (HA!) rescue that I adopted in June 2008.

My beautiful kitty's name is Bug (the tabby). She was a "sorta" rescue. She was a feral, pregnant cat where I used to work that adopted me. When I told her to "come back by at 4 and I'd take her home" she actually showed up, followed me to my car, where I then slam-dunked her in to an Office Depot box and drove her straight to the vet's office. They delivered her kittens and kept them until they were old enough to adopt. Bug is seriously the best cat EVER! She is the sweetest, most loveable feral cat I have ever met and I'm happy that she wanted me as her slave.
The calico is Sundae. The vet named her when I brought her in (as a kitten to spay) since I couldn't come up with a name. There's no great story with her... Sorry... I got her off of craigslist.

Unfortunately, my computer is an old piece of shit without DVD capabilities. It does have an expansion bay on it though, so I think I can add it.

I'll try the capture screen on Walt's computer when I get the time to go to his apartment. Or take the DVD to work and see if I can't do something there.

The videographer told me he took still photos and he'd send them to me, but... Unfortunately, he's no longer among us. RIP Lee.

I hate asking for help... Especially from smart ass skydivers, but I am frustrated here. I am TRYING to figure out if it's possible (which I know it is - I just don't know how) to capture a still image from a DVD. I've called photo places, camera shops, print service locations, and no one seems to do the service. All I want is a couple of still images "cut" from my SCR video... Is that too much to ask for?? If anyone knows how to do it, PLEASE let me know. I've googled it, but the technical jargon used is way too technical for me to understand.

I might even offer a boobies picture in return for the help...

I am at a big, fat, nasty 0 for 2009, BUT, I am looking to change that. Hopefully after tomorrow, I can happily change the number to 1... or 2... or 4... or 73... And, the man has handcuffs!! Mmm... Cop!!

And, this will be the first "date" I've been on in a LONG time. The last "date" was with a very handsome man who drove in icy conditions to come take me to dinner, build me a fire and keep me warm for the night. Too bad he lives a few hours away. I guess I'll have to settle for the cop.

For every drunk dial I get tonight I'll be demanding a naughty pic in return for waking me up!!

Do you REALLY want one of my pictures after I've been drinking?

Um, yeah... I would LOVE some of naughty pics after you've been drinking... Or sober... Either way, I'm good.

This was sick, I know, but a friend of mine actually put two in the same tank and several friends made bets on which one would survive.

A couple of my buddies thought it would be cool to put two of them on the same tank and see which one would kill the other. Sadly (for my drunk friends), they must have been geriatric betas because neither of the fish made a move at the other. They (my friends) got bored watching for an awesome fight after about two hours and separated them again when nothing happened.

After our fun, we both were sporting a sticker or two that says... "I have clean hands." We rock.

oooooooooooh THAT'S what the sticker was from...hahaha

Yep. It was also discovered that certain placement of the sticker can be used as a staring detection system...

Uh yeah... I "forgot" the placement of one of my stickers when I was approached by an old dude at Wal-Mart asking if I had clean hands.

Dear Santa - I've been a very bad girl for most of my 31 years of life, but this year, I'm hoping you'll oversee most of that. This year, I am wishing you make my Christmas brighter a little early. You see, I'm going to Sin City next weekend and I'd love for you to rig up winning jackpot reels on the MegaMillions slot machine for me. I promise if you can do that, I will not blow the millions on booze or cigarettes. I'll spend a few grand on some new skydiving gear, buy a house, buy a car and... Invest some... Spend the rest... On me... You'll never have to grant any other wish for the rest of my life because surely, if the jackpot is big enough, I can buy my way through life... Right? If you can't make miracles happen, I understand. I'll just live my life day by day hoping to win the lottery instead. Until that day, I'll hope to do well in school, and hope that my new job flourishes in to an awesome new career for me. But, those winning reels sure would be nice.

Thanks,

P.S. I'll leave milk and cookies for you only if I come back from Vegas with enough cash to buy that stuff for you. I'm sure you can accept a little bribery.

I had it the end of May to June-ish this year. I went to the doctor, she did a chest x-ray and gave me the diagnosis... After I started anti-biotics, I started feeling worse than I had before, but the doctor swore it was working. Even after finishing the 10-days of meds, I was still feeling like hell, weak, and coughing up some very unlovely crap. The doc said it just had to "run it's course" and I'd still have some of the coughing for a few weeks after. The "feeling like hell and weak" lasted for about two weeks, but the "coughing up a lung" persisted for about 4-6 weeks after my antibiotics were done.

Take care of yourself and hopefully by the holidays you'll be feeling somewhat normal.

What??!! No thong pictures?? I'm disappointed.

My first thought was a pic of him in a thong too...

+1

Why would I let him wear one of my thongs when he has his own? And, would that really be "clean" fun?

So, I had an unexpected visitor tonight. That's right, Bolas came to visit. I've experienced this "clean" fun with Cora and Walt before, so tonight, I made Bolas do it too. Oh yeah... What is it that we're doing? Fully clothed in a public place...

Walt was the photographer tonight, and Cora... Well, she won't give you any hints...

But, oh yeah... Good, clean fun...

Don't believe everything you read...... It's "people" that may be responsible.....don't blame an entire state.

Amen! I love living in Texas. Some of the people are fucking idiots, but the state is not responsible for their behavior.

Like I said (in my e-mail to you), I am SO sorry I missed your birthday! Happy belated, and I PROMISE to make it up to you.



Hope you had a good one!

*hugz*

I know now why the airbags didn't deploy in the Chrysler. The shop said I was going 28mph when it came to a complete stop in seconds. The censors for that vehicle are on the radiator cage. Apparently, I hit the woman at a slight angle, with more damage to the driver's side (which is how the power steering pulley shattered). The radiator, air conditioner compressor, condensor, all that other crap wasn't even touched.

The estimate stands at $4253 at the moment until the fucking adjuster decides to get off his fucking ass and totals the car out.

I took care of my "citation" this morning (it was dismissed, of course). My wonderful father is a freak about having his identity stolen, so he removed EVERYTHING out of the car, including the insurance card. The car was fully insured, and my car is fully insured, so basically I had to go to court and have it dismissed. The woman I hit? Her citations stand at "Failure to Yield ROW" and running a stop sign. This little accident is going to cost her... It's unfortunate, but we're all lucky to be alive.

I saw it earlier and all I had to say was, "Wow. That's fucking awesome." Clear skies tonight.

appears to be very minor damage..

Appears to be minor, yes, but according to the preliminary estimate, the car is totaled. The "visual" inspection by the shop was $3500, and now after mechanical inspection was done, it's up to $4300 (I somehow shattered the power steering pulley and 'damaged' part of the transmission??). The car is only worth about 4200 in excellent retail condition.

I'm still hurting pretty bad from impact as well as my passenger (which is even worse because she's pregnant). I will say, however, I am only taking one of my pills at night and trying to survive off of Aleve and/or Advil during the day. The doc said I'll be hurting for about two weeks. I'm just happy to be alive.

More than you prolly want to know...

Ummm... Was that English?

I've been getting conflicting reports from Chrysler about what the speed has to be before an airbag will deploy. Anyone have an idea? They told me 27 mph, then they lowered it to 18mph, and another person told me over 30mph. WTF?

Basically, I was driving my parent's 2000 Chrysler Concorde when a woman ran a stop sign and I t-boned her. The front of the Chrysler was torn off completely but the airbags never deployed?? I was going 35mph and wasn't able to slow down THAT much before I realized what the bitch was doing. She SAID she didn't "see me." The doctor told me if the bags DID deploy, I wouldn't be hurting as much as I have been. The Flexeril is nice though.

Anyhoo, I asked the shop to look in to it, but they said until her insurance adjuster shows up (who knows when that will be), they can't "tear" the car apart. If they decide to fix the car, I'm not willing to drive the thing if the airbags are faulty.
