1) You rock it's Monday morning and you should start the week by high fiving yourself! So get up in your cube and high five yourself. Feel free to call yourself epic and legendary and awesome. Anything but "Radical" that's just too strange. And if your BF/Husband/Booty call/Male slave give you any odd looks slap that bitch! Get ready for your head to explode Shah; I like it so much I have a subscription.

This women will go on the record and admit I haven't read 50 shades, don't plan to read 50 shades and am perfectly happy with Penthouse Forum. Really happy

Congrats! Sounds like it was a great day.

Heh! I expected them to levitate. Bummer.

And aren't you friends with people because you want to share that joy and passion for life? I searched for a 'non-skydiver friend' thread because I'm struggling a bit lately with some things that have caused me to reevaluate some of my friendships. I think there's several factors in my case -- people who don't like detail should skip over the part in parens -- (made a major move 3 years ago, have been adjusting to a serious of sad life-changing events which caused a serious of epiphanies, which led to the skydiving) but the end result is that many of my friendships just seem much different. It's like my friends are pissed at me for going after what I really want and it pisses me off. What I struggle with specifically is the lack of support and/or interest in general from people who I considered to be close friends. I'm very independent and live strong (vs. fall apart in pity mode) because I don't require support, but, I give it to them regardless of what I might think about what they are doing in their lives. My situation might not apply to the majority here on dz.com, but I'm sure some of you started skydiving and it changed your life. I've gotta believe your friends supported that and celebrated that with you. If my friends aren't doing that, that should tell me something wouldn't you say?

Please let us all know if that actually ever works with someone you don't know.

Bwahahahaha! I'd have to give someone some credit for using that one.

I thought that only worked if you had a Mirage? That was a SEXY ad.

It's the hat that does it for ya, isn't it? I do like hats.

My other favorite variation on the breakfast one is 'let's have breakfast, should I call you or nudge you?' A pickup line I like to bust out once in awhile under the right circumstances is "I like that shirt/those pants; it/they would look a lot better crumpled up in a ball on the floor". It's so versatile.

HA! I wouldn't be able to hold back a laugh. Most recent funny one I got was "Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?"

Heh! You're with the wrong girls then if they are focused on Oprah.

I actually love that pic you have now. Very cute. I was thinking about changing mine randomly for like an hour just to see if anyone noticed

Apparently I should just make my profile pic a pic of my rack. Wouldn't that be easier?

I have a few good shots I could upload but since only a few who know me here (so far) it's probably premature. I've been told I have a nice rack.

Heh, The bold part (my emphasis) made me laugh. Speaking as a fellow ADD/overthinker, I can relate! Congrats on your successful CAT A!

Bumped because he's right!

Will have to find that thread. Currently early on in AFF progression with a significant amount of tunnel time but trying to figure out best course of training for ME (I agree it's helpful to tailor to student). Some friends have suggested SL ... my biggest problem at the moment is not trusting myself and second guessing that I know what I'm doing.

Some good ideas here. Namowal, I know you said a cold wrap didn't help but I take a bandana and put some ice cubes in it then wrap and put around the back of my neck. It really helps keep my core temp a bit better under control. Just a bit... I've also realized I have to stop giving a crap about how I look at the DZ. It's totally out of my control :)

I'm with you. I think more people should give their partner a show. "Self-help" is both educational and a major turn on.

This is brilliant. Love it.

What can I say. I'm honest

Way late to the party on this one but being a total Newbie skydiver/forum lurker, this is the only forum I feel qualified to post in. Couple of good points in this post I'll elaborate on. 1. Keep it clean: manly smells are great but, there's a fine line between musk and funk. Also, think about manscaping. I know it's a PIA but I tend to only spend large amounts of time in places that I enjoy being. Enough said. 2. Selfish is no good. Part of what makes really great sex great, is enjoying bringing pleasure to someone. Not just getting it. Like the wise Rob Base said, "It takes two to make a thing go right". That said, I'm personally ok with not 'getting mine' EVERY time but when I'm with someone selfish, I'll happily kick them out of bed or pull a toy out to take care of things myself (in front of them if I can't actually kick them out of the bed). A few of my own points: 1. Humor - sex is FUNNY when you think about it. You have to be able to laugh at the weird stuff that happens in those situations and not take everything so seriously! 2. Play! - I hate saying 'foreplay' is important because that's so cliche but... you have hands guys... use them. Kiss, touch, play. That time will pay off in spades. When we've already "gotten ours" a few times (if we're lucky) before actual penetration, we're pretty happy and not thinking about another one. At that point we're only thinking about how awesome you are and hoping you'll stay hard for awhile. Besides, it's fun to tease. 3. Put the shoe on the other foot. If you're pleasuring your partner (bj) and he's not responding... change it up. Liken it to masturbation... you don't rub the same spot the same way the whole time... it's the different types of, and changes of stimulation that make you come. 4. Know that sometimes we feel the same way you do... we don't want to talk and cuddle after. LOL. Really. 5. Learn your partners body (or even just some common sense if you don't have time to learn their body!). There are many many places that bring someone pleasure and they aren't all obvious. I get weak in the knees with soft kisses in the right places. Renders me USELESS. Granted, I rebound but still, those moments are nice. That's a good place to wrap on this for now... enjoy the small moments too... it's not just about the big O.

Thanks for posting the video cheese... I'm a current AFF student so find this stuff helpful. ufk22 thanks also for the info on the previous page re: tweaking body position going into barrel roll.

Great place for your first tandem jump or for anytime tandem jumps. Friendly, safe and small dropzone. I had a great time here and Owner Matt Fitch clearly takes great pride in running a safe and fun tandem oriented business. I look forward to seeing the business continue to expand to the point where they offer consistent and easy to schedule AFF training. For tandems, you can't beat it.
