  1. Congrats on getting your A. I guess I'm a little out of the loop here- I just figured that with over 3000 posts, that you already had your A!!! I just figured you were one of those people that didn't update your profile. Boy was I wrong . Congrats again.

  2. Ok, as most of you know, I haven't made my first jump- but I am sure as shit annoying my wife, because that's all I talk about. Anyway, we had a conversation today, in which she made a comment that "If you had asked me to go 5 years ago, I would have, but now that we have him (referancing my 20 month old son), I wouldn't do it." She feels that it's way too big a risk to take. I understand the risk- I understand that I can do everything right, and still die. I love my son with all my heart, and it would be horrible for him to grow up without me- but I feel that if I don't pursue my dream of skydiving, that I will regret it later in life. I know in a sense, that I am being selfish- it's not that I have to jump out of an airplane. But it's a dream I have had for a very long time. Have any of you dealt with the same issues, and how do your S/O's feel about your skydiving? Anyone with kids, I would really like to hear your opinions on this.

  3. Soooooooo happy that I don't have a MAstercard!!! That totally sucks though. Hope the assholes get cought and end up in prison.

  4. I voted yes- although I dont think the end is near. I just have a feeling that all these "little" quakes ar leading up to something bigger. For your sake, I hope I am wrong.

  5. No, I didn't know that- so thanks, that answered my question. The sole intention, is learning to fly.Condition grounded, but determined to try.Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies.Tongue tied and twisted, just an Earth bound misfit.
  6. Quite a few people here know my story (cant jump yet cause of the weight issue) but I'm really tired of looking next to my name (in the forums) and seeing the "Enter Jump #, License #" etc... How do I just clear all that and leave it blank? I've seen alot of people that have nothing written in next to thir names- but everytime I change my profile (just put in 0) it still says I have to enter my # 's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  7. Ok, so let's say that your wrong. And you don't have to tell anyones friends "I told you so." What if, in turn, Jeb gets to tell you "I told you so." What if someone with "alot less wingsuit experience" does something that you can't or won't try to do? Will he get any credit then??? Damn, I ask a simple question, to which I still haven't gotten an answer for- and in turn I get a thread that is more suited for Speakers Corner. I understand that some people don't care- but there are those of us out there that are interested, that do want to see it happen. So I guess all you naysayers out there can take that anyway you like it.

  8. To an extent I understand you- but my question wasn't "How is Jeb going to do this?" It was- Anyone here if he will make the attemp this summer (as he said he should be able to do) and if so, where and when?

  9. Im sure there is going to be somebody out there that says "She could have recovered...The autopsy was wrong...it was all a cover up." Damn right they made the right decision. I just hope the fanatics can cope with the fact that they were wrong.

  12. I know- most of you don't care, and this is old news and quite boring- but some of us do find this rather interesting. Sorry to add to your boredom- move along.

  13. Hope I didn't get anyone excited with the title there....I was just wondering if anyone had any info on his landing attempt? He had said it would be possible by this summer...so I was wondering if there were any plans to actually make an attempt this summer? And if so, when and where? Thanks for any info.

  14. Done and DONE!!!!! Careful is the word of the day.......unless people are shooting at you. Then it's time to get MEAN! Just wanted to throw in an extra- Be safe over there. When do you get to come home? If you dont mind me asking.

  15. I'm with you in this. They are both annoying as shit. Not to mention the fact that to bring an animal into a restaraunt is a health code violation. I work at Costco- and people always try to sneak those rat dogs in the building. I just don't get why they feel the need to bring their dog everywhere. When I tell people that they can't bring thir dogs in- I always get the "Well what am I supposed to do with him?" How about leave the little piece of shit at HOME where it belongs!!!! Sorry- these people really annoy me. I had to rant.

  16. About 5 years ago, I was a volunteer firmen. We had a house fire (fully involved) at about 4am- it was 92 degrees- AT 4AM!!!!!!!!! I'll tell you what- I sweat off about 10 pounds that morning. It's bad enough being in turnout gear in the summer- but when its 92 at 4am and you're running into a burning building- it's just a shitty way to start your morning The sole intention, is learning to fly.Condition grounded, but determined to try.Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies.Tongue tied and twisted, just an Earth bound misfit.
  17. That is a damn shame. Not guilty on all counts???? Damn freak molests children and gets away with it....I felt sick as they read the verdict.

  18. You should have made this a p[oll...but.....I personally think he's guilty as shit, and should spend the rest of his life in jail- but I think the jury found some shred (however little it was) of reasonable doubt, and I think he's walking again. I will be doing cartwheels if he's found guilty.

  19. Damn- another newbie question from me- cowbells? I'm confused, Anyone care to explain? The sole intention, is learning to fly.Condition grounded, but determined to try.Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies.Tongue tied and twisted, just an Earth bound misfit.
  20. Right now I only have a 33-gal Hex tank with 5 Fancy (or whatever they are called ) Goldfish. You know the ones with all the wierd colors, and big fan tails....anyway, I just set it up for my 19 month old son, because he likes "feesh" as he calls them. I have a 55 gal that I want to set up, but it's got crazy dead fish vibes in it. It was definitley the "Tank of Death"- didn't matter what I had in it- completley docile fish would up and eat other fish, aggressive fish got eaten by other fish- it was a big mess. I always kept complete records on what fish I had in the tank. When I wanted to buy another fish, I brought the list with me to the store. I would ask what fish were good/bad to go with what I had in the tank. If the employee told me "This fish would be great in your tank. No one will eat it, and it wont eat your other fish"- Armageddon would break out in my tank. If they told me "Dont buy that fish- it will kill your fish, or your fish will kill it"- the tank was a vision of peace. SO if and when I set it up, I think Im just going to put one kind of fish in there. It will make it easier for me.

  21. Just got this done today. I figured since my son was 19 months old, it was about time I got his name on me. He was born October 29- making him a Scorpio. Hence forth the significance of the Scorpion in the tattoo. If you can't tell from the picture (for anyone that cares) it's down the back side of my right forearm. I think it's pretty sweet.

  22. Skolls was my Grandfathers middle names. It's got an old-school tone to it. 081102 is my wedding date. Not very interesting I know, but it works for me.

  25. Thanks- he's a High School English teacher. He had interviews with 4 different schools, 2 wanted to hire him. He picked the high school that we both graduated from. So it's cool- he gets to teach with the teachers that mentored him. It was worth it- it just sucks that I have to lose 2 extra pounds now. But very cool that after 8 years, my brother is coming home to Jersey. I cant wait.
