23. You allow a maximum 55 seconds of " working time " when making love. 24. You refer to your recent break-up as an " intentional cut-away. 25. You can't remember the true meaning of the words " Stilkletto " " Javelin " or " Talon "

Thanks, but I was trying to find out where the nipples are!

"Smoke" and "Candlefish", are you being punny? I guess the anchovies are a salt and beer thing. I had a craving for anchovies one time and called in a pizza. When I got there some drunk was sitting at the counter going on about, " what kinda idiot would order a anchovy pizza." Ahh, Mr. Idiot here to pick up his pizza Sir. Wish I would have had a camera!

If you like biting into a fishy salt block!

No but my dog drags his ass on the grass when it's burn n'

Sounds like someones had one tee many martoonis! Cold pizza and Guiness, yeah, yeah, two thumbs up! Throw in some anchovies and we gotta match.

For tru for tru. but change is the only constant!

Uhh, that was my sig. To much like stupid is as stupid does?

Hey Pat, I'm a computer idjit, how do you add a quote to your profile? I think I found one that fits. Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Well yes he did make the mistake of telling me he wouldn't tell me I couldn't skydive but that I needed to give it serious thought. I know I have to work hard on getting this turned around and I'll do what ever it takes but I can't stop this. He did tell me I did a good job chopping when I did and landing on the reserve but that doesn't really offset the bonehead move that put me in that situation to begin with. I guess I should have been afraid but I was pretty calm about it all. The only thing I was really afraid of was failure. There are good things that come out of bad situations. My wife , to say the least , has never been thrilled about me doing this but when I came home I couldn't just tell her I had a bad day and leave it at that when she's been supportive of me. I sat her down, told her what happened and without hesitation she told me, well you love to ride too and you wouldn't let a horse throwin' ya stop you from riding again. Didn't see that comin', she must be delirious with some sorta virus or something! To make a long story short I'm gonna be hangin' around that DZ like a damn cat they made the mistake of feeding just one time! Your next jump is coming up this Sunday depending on the weather isn't it? Have fun , Blue Skies P.S. How's the road trip going?

Hi Pearl,the weather was beautiful here this weekend and I was looking forward to level 6, leaving the step on my own, back flips and tracking. I sucked. The first time I had a bad exit and took too long to get stable so I just waved off and pulled. The second try was better but still took too long to get stable. I was high enough when I got stable I did a back flip but started to get unstable again so I didn't try to track. I should have thrown right then( when in doubt, whip it out ) but I wasted time trying to stabalize. My main was still sniveling when I pasted 2k, where my AAD was set for. Crap now I've got two canopies out. I cut away and rode the reserve in. My instructor told me he wasn't going to tell me what to do but that I should go home and think about if this is for me. I can't imagine not ever being in the sky anymore, I'm really kicking myself right now

Don't you mean a Wizcanzun accent

And the Blue Ribbongoes to----- Gets my vote

Ever watch " No Reservations " ? Kinda surprised I got hooked on this show but it can be pretty interesting, real every day people and cultures around the world. Plus Anthony Bourdains a smart ass and I guess I kinda admire that in a person.

History Channel, shit I thoght the H was for the Hitler Channel

Bugger? Where ya from iluvtofly, down under per chance? If so, what DZ?

Thank You bigun BS

Where is Parachute Center at?

I was looking forward to my level 6 this past weekend and woke up Saturday morning with sinusitus, pain in the cheek bones and feeling my pulse pounding in my ears. I used to have this problem all the time but only a couple of times since I quit smoking three years ago. Turns out we were blanketed with heavy cloud cover all weekend anyway. No I haven't packed yet but probably will this weekend. I'm nervous about jumping my first pack too but I'd rather do that than past it off to someone else. I'd like to jump my first pack on a level 7 and not on the level 8 3,000 ft. hop n' pop though. This weekend will be my first spot too. When you have time explain the steps you go through on your levels. Sounds like a little different systems at our dz's or just different terminology, not sure which. Sounds like you've got some busy days ahead traveling, work or fun? BS

The only thing screwy here is me. I've got almost as much computer experience as skydiving experience. Duh, turn the page, thanks professor, I'll try to pay more attention in class. Can I take a make up test?

Did you get anesthesia like you were wondering cause if you did I must have crappy health insurance so to speak. When I laid down on the bed I noticed they had the pictures hanging sideways on the wall which cracked me up, until they said you might feel a little pressure and I felt the tubes inflate to about 90 psi. Wiped the smile right off my face, so to speak.

I guess we could just shoot ourselves out of that giant Iraqi cannon Sadam was building!

Wow, you've got guts. I'm just a beginner with only 9 jumps but that's with at least one person alongside me and pulling at 5,500 feet. That leaves some room for hesitations, dumb decisions and inexperience. Not much margin of error there my friend. I understand, I've watched films of friends of mine jumping off bridges, towers, buildings and start thinking about it too. Somebody out there with lots of experience have some advise?

How does your wife feel about that? My daughter and I set up our tandem ( first skydive ) without tellin' Mama. Sorry Babe, but I can't let your fears be our fears. My daughters not really interested in taking it further yet, but she loves coming out to the DZ and taking pictures. My wife won't come out to the drop zone yet but she bought me an altimeter for Christmas. Funny thing is I think wants to encourage me because she knows how happy it makes me. It would be really cool to jump side by side with your daughter wouldn't it Joe Cheers

Hi Pearl, I was getting ready to answer your reply when my last two posts and your reply disappeared. After looking back over the rules the only thing that I can think of is that when I answered your question about where I skydive and then I kinda went into a rant about the place it got interpreted as an endorsement. If that's the case I am very sorry. I guess I tend to get a little hyped up on this subject an rattle on without thinking. I was only intending to share experiences nothing more. If I offended someone please, please forgive me
