  1. from what I can tell you probably save $34. The deal is $310 + ($20*6) = $430 From what I can tell 10 min of coached tunnel time according to the tunnel website is $200. Depending where you look a coach jump is $40 + 2*$24= $88 per coach jump So the total there would be $464. Now if they are talking about their student (as in non-A license coach jumps) They quote $144 per coach jump on their web site. Then the total would end up being $632. But either way, yes you are saving money. They are not ripping you off.
  2. Actually no. It's his (or her) decision. If they knew you were injured & allowed you to jump anyway & you got more injured somehow, they could be held liable, even if you don't think they're liable. Like someone else said, "the sky will still be there". Don't risk further injury.
  3. Another forum I frequent actually does that. There's a monthly ban thread. Everyone votes and the person with the most votes gets a perma-ban. It's rather useful to get rid of the most annoying people. every month somebody has to go? or just when somebody get tool-y enough to need it?
  4. Italy is also supposed to be beautiful, especially if you're in the country instead of the normal tourist hot spots. A friend of mine is from there, and she keeps trying to get me to go.
  5. Australia has been on my list of places to go forever. From what I hear, its BEAUTIFUL!
  6. Is there a recommended number to call or person to reach at the USPA in situations like this? I'm flying to Dubai on Sat and bringing my rig. Was going to carry it on as I'm somewhat concerned not having it in my possession at all times. IF you have a problem with your travel uspa.org tells you this: "Problems? Skydivers encountering problems with screeners should request that the screener's supervisor become involved. Skydivers should insist that the supervisor review "The Parachute Screening section of the Screening Checkpoint Standard Operating Procedure." Skydivers encountering unsatisfactory treatment should contact USPA at (540) 604-9740 or e-mail us. Be ready to provide the airport, date and time of flight, airline and flight number, and names of TSA officials involved." Do a search in the forums for opinions about how to carry on your rig. I have a rolling carry-on that I put my rig, and just my rig, in. It helped me decide on doing that instead of just carrying it on. But if you do have a problem let USPA know about it so they can fix it. Hope this helps
  7. ...to NOT put a pink mustache on your car and go joy riding afterwards. ..... yea it's kinda hard to claim it wasn't you with a giant pink mustached car.... It's kinda memorable
  8. No, but I have had several banana mudslides and if they are made right it tastes like a banana milk shake. Oh that sounds amazing. I have been on a major banana kick lately. I have like four loaves of banana bread in the fridge right now. just add rum to any fruit smoothie you like. delicious! just make sure to factor it into the liquid you use so you dont have a soupy smoothie.
  9. sorry to hear about the hard openings I've got a Sabre 1 150 (because I'm poor) so I know how you feel but at least you learned your lesson. Too few people don't. Good luck with your new canopy!
  10. Tonight I had my first beer smoothie. Yup, BEER smoothie. Made from Young's Double Chocolate Stout, I was skeptical at first. But it was surprisingly delicious! I suggest everybody try one. It was like having deliciously cold beer and ice cream.

    boobies....

    good point! I think they are different. Boobies makes me giggle just a little when I hear it where as boobs does not. So I'd vote separate terms.
  12. Honestly, your doctor may not even know. If he gives you an answer, it's probably just a stab in the dark guess. He probably won't know for sure the effect of skydiving on the nasal passages nor how healed you have to be. He'll probably just give the full recovery timeframe to play it safe.
  13. for the best good vibes go to the Good Vibes boogie @ Skydive the Farm. We'll see who hits on who there.
  14. There are always options. Sounds like you need some good vibes. Even if you take a financial hit, you might end up way happier.
  15. I thought you loved your condo.... if you hate it move. Just up and leave. I know plenty of people have done it & are very happy. Sounds like you need a major change in life. Just do it
  16. Actually, the pilot can tell you that you can't carry it on. But that usually only happens when you just carry it without a gear bag & even then I've only heard of it happening once. If he had it in a gear bag, I can't image how they even knew a parachute was in the bag.
  17. If memory serves me right, this was the same Kermit reaction to 2 girls 1 cup... (How sad that I even recognised the back-ground music!! ) Yes I believe you are right. Kermit is very one dimensional. I think his reaction to the bully getting his ass kicked was the same. Kermit needs some new writers. Talk to Christian Bale's writers then. They're clearly the same person. http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/27350111.html
  18. They'll also give you diarrhea if you eat too much without being used to it. So switch over slowly.
  19. Are you going for better or worse health-wise or taste-wise? Health-wise, they all suck for you. (I still use them all the time though.) If you're just going for taste though, I prefer Splenda. I think the other two have weird after tastes. There is also that new stevia as well. It's also called Truvia and Purevia. I haven't tried it yet though.
  20. If you had it in a gear bag how did Jet Blue know it was a rig? If you got through security, I don't understand how Jet Blue would know what's in your carry on.... I flew with them in February and once past security, no questions were asked about what was in my carry on.
  21. You know that saying "money can't buy happiness"? It's true. Maybe Shah does have money and a great house. That doesn't guarantee his happiness, just a comfortable life. He's not claiming to be starving or poor, just unhappy.
  22. Actually yes very. It gave me about a minute of entertainment in my very dull day. So thank you speedracer

  24. So I have been told. Can you make an app for that?
  25. There are vibrator apps...... not as nice as a bit of tongue play.. lol true dat i'm bored; you in!? you seem to keep forgetting that you're 5000 miles away.
