  2. Mariann was one of my best friends, and her son is very dear to me. He lost his mother. Although money in no way can make up for that, I want to contribute to his life in a meaningful way and want to use this as my contribution to his upbringing.

    To answer the question above - it is my only rig. I've retired from skydiving :) but will still be rockin' it in the tunnels!

  3. Howdy!

    I'll be auctioning off my gear at SkyFest and donating all proceeds and additional donations to Mariann Kramer's son Garrett.

    Yellow with purple accent PIMP Mirage MSX 1/2
    Yellow and purple 120 Stiletto that was Mariann's when it was new
    PDR 113 - saved my life twice
    Cypress from 1998

    All in fantastic condition and well loved.

    Please spread the word and repost. I'm hoping you will pull your monies and make this a wonderful gift for this most amazing little man!

    If you can't make it and would like to donate you can PayPal to [email protected]. I will send you a receipt.

    Much love to you all!

  5. this so surreal... I've gotten so used to missing her since I moved that it's hard for me to realize I'm not going to see her again, in this lifetime.

    mariann represented all I want to be in the sport: giving, free, limit-less, humble, super cool, and a hard-core kickass chick!

    I miss you girl!

    memories and such:

    wearing red shoes, orange socks, purple stretch pants with green shorts over it, and a pink shirt on our one-and-only 2-way freefly jump at Elsinore - just to make me laugh! Wyat Drews - where's my video???

    convincing me to jump on a 24-way as superfloat when I had 120ish jumps - getting rid of my "i don't have a belly suit" excuse by giving me one of hers to keep (that I still wear)
    then flying by to give me a smile and a thumbs up before flying to the otherside

    stan schrimsher made these itty bitty shorts out of parachute pieces - which no one would even try on, but she wore them for hours at a party

    dancing at a club all night, by dirt-diving 4way - you should have seen the awed whuffos around us!!! B|

    queen of the dance

    red wine and thai food

    our "team" rigs

    fantasy skydiving

    so many I can't keep them straight right now

    Mariann,
    Always
    River-dancing.
    Inspiring.
    Ass-kickin'!
    Never-ending
    Nonsense

    I was always smiling, and usually laughing, anytime I was with you. You inspire me to be my crazy self, always knowing that no matter how crazy I get - you'll always be better at it! hahahahaha :P
    I love you so much!

  7. Wow - John, I'm going to miss you!
    Thanks for always sharing your wonderful wine
    Thanks, to you and your family, for all the fabulous dinners on the redwood deck
    Thanks for encouraging me to sing
    Thanks for always smiling

    I give my sincerest condolences and love to the Appleton family

    See you in the eternal sky, my brother
    Love,
    Deva

  8. Wow - thanks Amanda! I had just as much fun as, if not more than, you!!!:)

    As far as this thread is concerned, following the original request, the person who jumps to mind is Elfanie. Most of her posts I've read in the Woment's Forum, and they are always uplifting and supportive and full of positive energy for others. I've also checked out her professional website and absolutely love her work. I've actually referred several of my friends to her website for information and would contact her immediately if I were pregnant.

    Thank you, Elfanie, for such wonderful information!

    ps: Thank you BKDice for pointing this thread out to me!!! :)

  9. I also got to hang with Bryan and Shannon from Gravity Rats!!! (posting in the wee hours after a long boogie affects the memory...)

    It was awesome seeing you guys!!!
    Shannon - good luck in San Diego - you're going to absolutely love it! I get out to SoCal a couple times of year - so I look forward to visiting :)
    Bryan - you still owe me a jump!

  10. Amanda - it was awesome meeting you! You totally rocked out on our chicky-tracking dive!!! Seriously hard to believe that was your 39th jump... I was so stoked that you won the scholarship and get freefly coaching from our amazing Anomoly boyz... next skydive you'll be teaching me stuff!!! B|:D I would love to be part of your Pink Mafia initiation - too bad it didn't go down this weekend - but perhaps it's meant to be a head down dive... so we should be able to do it in, what? a couple weeks? ;););) I'm going to try to make it back soon.

    Megsterr and Rodney - I love you guys!!!! It was awesome getting to know you better (and the kitters!) thank you so much for your hospitality and love. Meg - thanks for being a SWOOPY GROOPY groupie! Email me and I'll send you some raw food info/links. I know how much you like doing solos :P but I look forward to jumping with you again!

    Mel - thanks for your never-ending love and patience (Mel: "We're on MF-12" Deva: "So what load is that?" Mel: "MF-12" Deva: "I got that - but what load number is that?" Mel: "Um... 12..." Deva: "rrrriiiggghhhttt.... maybe sleep is a good thing!") We still have a date with the Skyvan - we are not suck!

    Alli - awesome to see you again (as usual!) my RSSSC sistah! I'm so excited for your move - I can't wait to visit! :)

    Krista - it was great seeing you again! I had so much fun on our 1 jump - we need to do more! Is there skydiving in Canada? :P Maybe I'll come visit...

    Yoshi - Thanks for the beads bro. If I ever go on a CDZ, I'm going for a negative number!



    hmm..the negative.. that is a VERY ballzy move:P Maybe you will even land your slot in number 9 with the first premi:o



    No No - remember the #9 slot is never to be filled... at least not on purpose!!! :ph34r:

    BK and Jeanne - thanks for posting the pics! I had so much fun meeting more sisters - can't wait until the next Pink Mafia get together in a mere 3 weeks! Sebastian here we come! B|

    Pussy trusts no one without a good explanation!
    Would the strips cause bumps? What is so special about a salon besides the price? How much does it cost? How long does it last?



    If you've never waxed yourself the last place you want to start is in your most sensitive area. Plus - you need at least 3 hands -when you go to the salon you take an active role in the waxing "hand here, hand there - pull skin taut" keeps it from hurting and gets in all the crevices. there is no way you could do this yourself, even with the help of an SO (or other willing participant) unless you knew what exactly you were doing
    my salon charges $55 and it takes about 20 minutes
    they run a special where you can buy 6 at once and so you end up only paying for 5... each time is easier... after a series of 6 you may be able to maintain it on your own - but self waxing is messy and often more painful because you may use to much wax, or let it dry, or not use the right kind of strips... $55 once a month is worth it to me

  22. Well - you guys missed some fun... got to jump Sunday and Monday afternoon...
    and stellar good times hanging out with the peeps - remember - boogies are just as much about jumping as getting to know people better -> bad weather is at least condusive to socializing!!! :P

  24. I've looked at the Javelin website and searched through these posts, but I cannot find a place that tells me what size harness/container I would need.

    Can anyone tell me where I can find a list that shows height/weight against harness/container size?

    Thanks,
