  1. My aunt is the queen of terrible gifts to me. Here are five years of bad gifts: #1 An umbrella #2 An umbrella again #3 Yet another umbrella (seriously. Other niece got a massage kit) #4 A screwdriver (other nieces and nephews got a $25 card to Borders) And this year (she gave it early) a beautiful Christmas box filled with very strange expired food. Some expired as long ago as 2003. She even said as I opened it, "I'm not sure how old some of this is." Why does she hate me?
  2. We said "Ragdolls!" (grew up in socal) Then another family taught us to call it Jello.
  3. Nope. They have done three of seven rounds. Guano is in 7th currently. According to this: http://www.worldmeet2006.com/scores/freefly.htm
  4. I am flying tomorrow on Southwest and even they are requiring no liquids and no gels including beverages, shampoo, lotions, creams, toothpaste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency. This is even for a flight from northern CA to southern CA. They say this about baby formula: Baby formula, breast milk, or juice if a baby or small child is traveling, are exceptions subject to inspection at the checkpoint. I would definitely check with whatever airline you are flying with even if it is a short in state flight.

  6. If I go by that I am Boom-Boom Margarita! It sounds like I have a Latin flair, and that I am possibly huge.
  7. Tansy is often recommended as an ant repellant but may only work on sugar type ants. These are the ones that you see on peonies and marching into the kitchen. Placing tansy clippings by the greenhouse door has kept them out. Deters flying insects, Japanese beetles, striped cucumber beetles, squash bugs, ants and mice. Tie up and hang a bunch of tansy leaves indoors as a fly repellent.
  8. A toe is not an organ. It's a digit.
  9. I couldn't find it on the American Boogie site. I think you just have to register when you get there. They do have one day registration for $15. The registration for the whole weekend is $40. It says: Full registration for the boogie is $40 for 4 days. Includes 2 dinners, beer and goodie bag. Current USPA membership and in date reserve required. New One Day Registration Pricing: DAILY REGISTRATION, $15 This is to accommodate those of you that can only make it out for one day of fun.It gives you access to our complete fleet of jump planes and a jet ride if you want. * Price does not include Beer, Dinner, or T-shirt.
  10. I backpacked alone through 9 countries in Europe when I was 22. It was easy there to meet people to travel with or talk to about recommendations. I didn't walk around at night alone but Iwas usually able to hook up with another traveller to hang out with.
  11. Counties visited in the order I visited them: USA Mexico Canada Japan England France Spain Italy Austria Switzerland Germany Belgium Netherlands Iceland Turkey (next week) Belize (in December)
  12. I live in Fairfield and jump in Davis at SkyDance SkyDiving.
