Neat. I've always wanted to jump out of a plane

maybe fly in a jet, my dad says that it's a good time

Do it. The hour leading up to actually leaving the plane was stressful and terrifying... you get all worked up and nervous and start thinking about broken straps and chutes that don't open properly. And during the plane ride up I was close to shitting my pants in horrified anticipation... and the part where you stick your feet out the door and look down is bad, and the very second when you leave the plane and lose where up and down is for a second is like sheer terror... but once you've straightened out and are just free falling it gets good. Tie your shoes up well - it feels like they're going to come off when free falling and that's distracting. It doesn't feel like you're falling at all - just like you're suspended in a wind tunnel. Then another brief moment of terror when the chute starts to open and you're not sure that it's worked yet. And then, pure joy that you're alive and floating far above the Earth - complete silence (you might want to tell your partner to keep quite for this part of the ride before you jump - mine tried to act as tourist guide, and I just wanted to take it all in in silence. I did not care that the town of Chilliwack was to the East of us :fp: ). And the landing is nice and light (basically). It was amazing (not sure I would do it again though - once may have been enough). Also, if you go drinking after, it's the best drunk you'll ever have!

Awesome! I wanna go!

And I did better in math on my SAT.

Seriously, I'm telling my kids to consider becoming mechanics or building contractors. No student loan debt, you make fuckloads of money, and if you play your cards right, you get to be your own boss.

My pop was a mechanic. When I'd ask him for a dollar to go to the cornerstore, he would reach into his sock, pull out a huge roll of bills, go through about 15 hundreds, 15 twenties, a few tens, a few fives before he'd find that single dollar (maybe there were two) to give me.

i love peanuts & other salted mixed nuts. sometimes i buy bricks of chocolate (you know the kind in the baking section) & a jar or two of peanuts & i melt the chocolate bricks & pour the peanuts into the melted chocolate, stir, then dump onto wax paper on a cookie sheet and spread out.

place in freezer until hard. break apart & fill a old cookie tin.

That is soooo cool!

My dad was 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and he spends his time now on the board for Southern Wisconsin All Airborne Chapter. One of their big fundraisers for Wounded Warriors is a tandem jump. My dad and my daughter jumped last summer. My son and daughter are going to jump this summer.

I chickened out.

Maybe this summer...

I can also bend the very first join in my fingers down while keeping the rest of my finger completely straight.

I get completely creeped out by any freaky body trick and double- jointed stuff!

that's why no ones knows, well they do now.... :?

I can actually get horses to answer back!! On a good night, I can get Coyotes to howl.
It's fun. Once at a Fair... I won one hundred dollars imitating a horse, and all the horses
answered back!!
