I second the vote on Spaceland as a stop!

I couldn't afford physical therapy nor the surgery to remove my hardware, luckily i didn't really need the PT and my doc was impressed by the progress I made on my own but i need to get the hardware removed and can't! If anyone knows how to find fairly cheap but good insurance let me know!

i haven't had health insurance since just after i started jumping, almost 2 years ago, i broke my leg skydiving last year and needed surgery, $15000 later in medical bills... i've jumped a few time since then but not since april, i may jump this week but won't get heavy into it until i get some insurance, that accident killed me financially and i won't recover financially from another one! as soon as i have a steady income (next 2 to 3 weeks) i'll be getting myself some insurance

0:0:0 though I should be getting back in the air tomorrow or tuesday, haven't jumped since august!! Loving the texas weather and people at spaceland!

I just moved to Texas to work Manifest at Spaceland... I work alot but I could help you out with babysitting when I'm not working or even when its slow. There are lots of great people down here, I'm sure many of us would be willing to help you out.

That is fucking hysterical! Karen I can hear you laughing in the background!!!!! Definitely your "fuckery" laugh!!

I'm surprised you'd never had it! Pancake was walking around at Freezefest with a bottle... I do believe that its his favourite, hes even got a tuaca baseball hat. I love it too!

Thanks! I actually grew up here, though I have spent the last 12 years in Connecticut. Up until the past year or so I was back in Toronto at least 4 times a year. I miss it here.

Hey Guys, I'm in T.O for the weekend and was wondering if any of the dz's around here will be open... The weather looks iffy for Sat and Sun but Friday looks good... I'm not jumping at the moment but would love to come out and look around and meet some people!

Square 1 carries little rubber stamps... maybe check with them?

Damnit Stephan! How'd you figure it out so quickly?

I broke my tib and fib on May 10 2008, had surgery May 14, had 6 screws and a plate put in. No removal of hardware as of yet though as soon as I have the money they'll be coming out. Was out of my cast and into a walking boot June 22. I started jumping again August 6th 2008. Listen to your doc, do hyou physical therapy and jump when the doc says you can and when you feel your ready, don't rush into it, the sky isn't going anywhere!

I detest Valentines day, I boycott every year. Dumb holiday created to make single people feel bad and lonely and for couples to try to come up with ways to show eachother they love eachother by spending money which is unnecessary.

Bolas when he's wearing his thongs could win best/worst dressed depending on who's voting!! hehe

Wait till you see the in his thongs.... Cross Keys had that pleasure last Saturday night. While playing drunken dodgeball, no less! Now that had to have been a site to see... Hahaha people were still talking about it this weekend!!

3 weeks after my surgery for my tib/fib i was back at the dz on my crutches. it was difficult though! I had to learn to drive with my left foot! I worked full time manifest throughout my recovery and even did most of my PT on the dropzone, it made it much more bearable to be around the sport, around my "family" they all supported me and cheered me on as I slowly began weightbearing and pushing myself to recover. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't been able to be at the dz. The best thing you can do is keep a positive attitude, no matter how bad you feel, do you physical therapy and surround yourself with people who will be supportive and help you! The best feeling was making my first jump back and having everyone lined up on the lz cheering me on as I plf'd my landing!!

That intimidating sculpture wasn't all that lonely. The sculpture was freakin awesome! Theres a pic of me "on top" of it!

I'm heading down friday afternoon, anyone who wants a ride down from the ranch friday afternoon let me know and I can pick you up, or if your on the road on the way i'll pick you up! jusst be warned i'm not coming back on sunday night!

I've been doing that alot within the past year... which makes the damn bras even more uncomfortable when I actually do wear them. g I had to go to court the other day so i put a real one on and by the end of the first hour of wearing it I wanted to kill someone! Sometimes you just need that extra little bit of padding though... the shirt I wore would have looked terrible if I had just worn a tank...

I gave up on them a long time ago... I've started always wearing a tank with the built in bra.. unless i need the extra padding, then I'll give in and wear one of the two bras i still own. I don't think i'll ever wear a real bra all the time anymore, the tanks work well and are alot more comfortable

it's so far! south of philly? really? its not that bad, about 3 hours

I have 3 skirts we can use for our catholic schoolgirl team! I'm trying to dig up a few more!

You coming down Stephan?! Can't wait to see you!!! -Ali

I'm gettinbg excited, I get to meet some new friends!
