You folks are great. Thanks for taking the time to post your words of wisdom. I relooked at my tandem videos last night and the smile on my face was of pure exhileration. As far as I am concerned, May cannot come fast enough. Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

That's why they have so many rolling blackouts. Or is it all the beer? hmmm Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

Go to a website for the tv show "Fantasy Island". There should be some photos of Tatoo there. Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

My guess would be if Nader was in office, he would have us bring all the terrorists to this country so we could shower them with hugs and kisses and love them to bits because that would soften their hearts. Of course he wouldn't realize that after we turn away a knife would be in our backs. Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

So basically, the most free beers gets the vote? Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

You think that garbage truck could take out Barbara Strisands also? Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

I'm a newbie, help me out. Do skydivers vote Republican or Democrat? Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

I actually grew up 1 town away from her. The garbage truck thing is a great idea...Damn I missed the golden opportunity!!! Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

This past December I made two perfect tandem jumps for the first time in my life. I can honestly say, I had no nerves...not even a queesy stomach. The landings were absolutely perfect. My second tandem, we went out backwards and completed four somersaults and our spins were much faster. I know all the credit goes to my tandem master (Mike at Skydive Space Center in Titusville, Florida). Since this was such a positive (exhilerating) experience for me I have gone ahead and booked my AFF course for this May back at the Skydive Space Center. I don't know if I am reading too many testimonials, but it seems there are alot of hairy moments during certain AFF levels. Are there actually uneventful AFF experiences...meaning, people who have gone through it and nicely progressed and graduated? Am I only reading about "exceptions" to AFF experiences because they are more intesting to read about? I am planning to allow for 12 days in Titusville to complete my AFF, is this reasonable or am I setting my standards to high? Thanks for any info. Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

Now that was scary! Don't you hate when work interferes with skydiving?

I guess I am a whuffo for now. I did 2 tandem jumps last month. The experience opened a whole new world for me. I have alot of questions and I am sure many of them are stupid, but that's how you learn and excel. I will taking my AFF this May and my goal is to earn my A license by Summer. At what point do I graduate from being a whuffo? Here's my whuffo question: Both times I did my tandem jumps, I experienced no nerves whatsoever. Not even a queesy stomach. Is this normal? Should I expect to start puking during AFF?

There is a down side to being Tom Cruise. Would you want Rosie O'Donnell stalking you? Ewwwwwww

I responded to one of those emails and my penis still has not increased by 3 inches.

Ok, I am a total newbie here. Discovered skydiving this past December. Been totally hooked ever since. Been doing alot of research about skydiving and I have discovered naked skydiving! Help me out here...I know the way my face looked on my tandem videos...it wasn't pretty. What happens...um...to everything else during naked skydiving? Isn't gravity a bitch?

The two tandems I have done has been from 15,000 feet. I am learning that this is pretty high. I am curious from the more experienced people...what is the highest elevation you have jumped from?

Why don't I just take the damn bus?

So I should just take the plunge and sell everything? Like pulling off a band aid in one swipe! It feels so awesome when that bandaid is off, letting in the fresh air. I have to take this in stages...I want my parents hearts to keep beating.

What else would I be looking at?

Thanks. I ordered both books off Amazon.com. I like the fact they are not lengthy. How much time do we spend in freefall...a minute or so? How much reading could I get done in that time?

A bellhop or a valet at a resort can make decent tips and have flexible hours. The best part is you don't have to use your brain, either.

You're never too old! Bush Sr. skydives in his late 70's! Every time I think of my jumps, I find myself with a really goofy grin on my face. I could be in my car at a red light and noone else in the car!!! I better get a skydiving bumper sticker so strangers will understand.

I understand completely....Since doing my first two tandems a month ago, I have already signed up for AFF and am selling my 2001 Acura to buy a car that is under 20K. Boy, my priorities are changing fast!!!!

While on vacation in Florida this past December, I had the enormous pleasure of doing my first two tandem jumps at the Skydive Space Center in Titusville. Since then, I have had difficulty concentrating on anything but skydiving. Since I live in the mountains of New England, jumping right now is not an option. I have signed up for AFF for this May back at the Skydive Space Center. Any suggestions for this Newbie? What research can I do between now and then to better prepare me?

Well I have my 2001 SUV on the market. Must free up cash for my AFF and a rig. If anyone interested, it is an Acura MDX. Asking $33,500.
