Quote LOL Granny, before I finished reading Bec's post I was thinking two old Men??? Then it dawned on me Bec no doubt doesn't remember Captain Kangaroo nor Mr. Green Jeans.


Hey now! I do to remember Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans! You can't see me, but I'm sticking my tonge out at both of you - DW and Granny!

Now that I look at the stamp again, I recognize Captain Kangaroo (on the left as you're looking at it). I forgot what Mr. Green Jeans looked like though.

Quote I also remember coming home and watching, get this, and this is where I get my love of reading Stephen King and the Sci-Fi aspect of my "ID".

Watching Dark Shadows and Dr. Who


WOW - I watched Dr Who religously!!!!! I loved that show!!!

That sounds like a GREAT idea y'all! I will get discounts for anyone wanting to do this!!! =) Aerohio here we come!!! They are a great group up there----every bit as warm and welcoming *and addicted* as we are---only to skydiving! It's a whole lot more expensive however but after your 6th or so jump....the price drops a lot!

BTW---I think it is the 6th jump that you are to do a backflip?! You have NEVER---EVER laughed your butt off as much as when you do this at about 80 mph and about 10-12 thousand feet off the ground?! (Each jump has a different purpose....but all with the same goal....land safely to jump another day!)

I'll tell you what----if there really is enough interest----and since Jim and Stacey were so gracious to show their video of the "great letterboxing proposal series" I MAY be willing to show my skydiving videos at a mini gathering where you would all have to take an oath of some sort. For those who skydive---you already know why---they are embarrassing times TEN!!! lol

There is no way on earth---let alone 14,000 feet *above* the earth----that ANYone can have MORE UN(freaking)flattering video shot of your body, face, cheeks....and later legs...than a skydiving video. You could be the skinniest person on the planet and still have UGLY video shot of you!!! Alchohol might be involved in this mini-gather....so that you forget what you saw....

Then after YOU all jump and pay the big bucks to video tape the dives.....you MUST also be willing to share?! =) Deal or no deal?! =P

One more thing....NOT knowing the NYEE was a birthday surprise....I had actually gotten a design together for you all to give me advice over the next year of what I should add to my "bucket list". I started one over 10 years ago...and have checked off several things including skydiving! But I ran out of time to carve it up!

No Way!!!! I'm not jumping out of anything. I'll stand on the ground and take pics, but I'm definitely a scaredy-cat. I rollerbladed 3 years ago and jumped a ramp that my son built, but made rifleman and my son hold my hands as I did it!

I hear ya! I'll be happy to come cheer you all on but I am NOT jumping with you. That is so not on my "Bucket List" (Which is , btw, one of my resolutions--to get my album/list going so I can start crossing stuff off!)

In my younger days I had a pilot's license- I never could see a reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

I hiked and I hiked, admiring the views around me. Many establishments tried to lure me into stopping. I did stop at a small grocery store and deli for breakfast (including fresh fruit!), but sadly walked passed a sky diving establishment encouraging people to "Sky dive Key West!" Sounds like fun, huh?


Hey, even the Green Tortunga thinks it would be fun to sky dive!!! I read this on his blog just a few minutes ago.

I'm still in . . . I can't wait! I'm saving up right now!!!

Rose----then you can be the pilot for the 40th birthday bash skydiving team! How cool would THAT be!! =)

And I've heard that a hundred times about "jumping out of a perfectly good airplane" but after learning to skydive, it occured to me the next time I was flying to dallas....how insane it is to fly in an airplane without a chute on your back?! (I started reciting the "grab green" montra at that point!) =P

Oh man! That is one of the BEST places to skydive from what I've heard. That is where some of the major formation competitions are held and training wind tunnels are. Do it Ryan---Do it!!!

I think we should do this. I'm serious. I have a height phobia, but looking out a window in a plane I'm all "oooooo and ahhhhh's". (???) Someone may have to push me out of the plane to get me started, but I'm sure I could find plenty of volunteers for that.

Hi, Ernie, Hi, Ernie, I want some bananas today ... at least that's what I remember.

My cousins would call my dad "Uncle Al" and I still crack up when I hear that. And Captain Wendy taught us all to "don't forget the shadow."

I have to skim over all these posts, just to get caught up. Sorry I missed the wassa stuff.
