  1. Well, they are usually pretty acurate. My husband has 22 years and they have never messed up an les. We have been lucky. You don't have a clothing allowance in there by chance do you? Good luck on your level 2. I will start on the 20th of this month, my birthday so all weekend at the dropzone for me!
  2. That does seem like a lot. Check your DFAS site. Maybe you got lucky and you can use the raise toward jumps!
  3. Hershey's taste alot like the Dark chocolate. A little bitter. Don't like it at all!
  4. I have a blood disorder that does not allow my blood to clot like it is suppose to. My doctor doesn't see any reason why I shouldn't jump. But you should speak to your doctor.
  5. It's not playing here! Bummer. Can't find it anywhere.
  6. How do you know how often these people are logged on here unless you are logged on also! So what's that make you?
  7. UUUUUMMMM So whatever happened to the mother that slept through the whole thing? You mean to tell me she didn't hear a thing? There was a minor at her house and last I heard she could be charged also.
  8. We bought two a few years ago. My girls loved them. ANd yes they grew like crazy. Had to give them a hair cut. Ours came with new packets of seeds to regrow them after they die! We still have the molds but have not grown them a second time.
  9. No. I have a twin and we look nothing alike. Alot of people had a hard time believing we were related!
  10. Try getting a parking ticket for stopping in a fire lane to pick up my mother that was waiting on the sidewalk. No that was a bunch of crap because she came out I drove up and the fire dept. drove up in their little car and gave me a ticket. I didn't even have it in park. I was doing a drop off/pick up thing. I called his boss and found out he is not even employed by the city and is a volunteer.
  11. Our doctor kept teling us "any time now" and ten days later they finally induced. TWICE! But hang in there and get some rest, both of you. Good luck!
  12. I have debated for two years to go back to UPS. The money was GREAT, not to mention the benefits. But if I actually sit a think..........there is no way. I went back for Christmas help a few years ago and that woke me up!

    What's old?

    I just want to say that my mother just turned 63 and did her first tandem two months ago and a second last month! So 63 really isn't that old either!
  14. My intention was to do one Tandem and then straight to AFF. You won't believe the training you get during a tandem ride. I would recommend tandem first. I have done 5 so far. (I know this is a bit much) I will start my training for AFF in January. Not sure how many more tandems I will do before then. If you have a tunnel near you then give that a try also. Good Luck and have a blast!
  15. I Loved this! Great job writing it. I can't wait until I get to say the same! Have fun!

    Manic Monday

    Hey, the weekend is only four days away!
  17. I am a mother of two girls ages 7 and 13. One is a special needs child. My girls and husband have been very supportive of me wanting to skydive. It also gives us a chance to spend some time together as a family. They come with me everytime I go to the DZ and are actually enthusiatic about it. I don't think it is a selfish thing at all. My husband hunts, my 7 year old plays the piano, my 13 year old plays soccer, and mom pretends to be brave one weekend out of the month. So, I think it is great and so does the rest of the family. Keep jumping and include the entire family. Have fun!
  18. OK I will try that and will put a link to here!
  19. How do I post my video on here? It's actually pretty good.
  20. Suffolk does not offer static line.
  21. I guess I have always been quick to point out the mistakes I made. Let's see...........I did my turns correctly, learned a bit on landing patterns, and canopy control! So I did learn a little on this jump and also learned what not to do. So I would have to say that it was a good jump. And was told I had a good flare for landing. So OK, not too bad. Thanks Jimmy for the encouragement. I will do another and will be more "alt aware" that's for sure! The Aircraft is a PAC 750 and I'm jumping from 13,500.
  22. OMG! I totally bombed today. I don't know if it was too early or what. We exited and I had a hard time finding the pull to do the practice pulls. That must have thrown me off because it NEVER even crossed my mind that I hadn't checked the alti AT ALL. Everyting else went well but I felt like I really should have done that jump again. I did learn how to turn and all; I think I got caught up in that also. But gosh, what an idiot I was. This was my 5th tandem and I should know to check by now. I practically did it by myself last time. I guess it is up in the plane I go again, I need to build my confidence. It worries me that I will screw up bad when I do my AFF.
  23. Money is really not the issue. I just keep finding excuses to do another tandem! So I do have my date set for January and my daughter and I will do some tunnel time for Christmas in Florida! Oh, and I know for a fact I can not do a single jump in December.
