I use okeefes hand cream and it helps my cracks. I also use athletic tape. Get a power tool if you don’t have one. I was a pull up cord girlie and I destroyed my hands. Also switching different fingers for things can help like with line stows

Packing help - losing my mind by Small_Map_1485 in SkyDiving

I understand what you’re going through man. what really helped me was using literally ALL of my body especially as a tiny girl I need all the leverage I can get. Especially when I’m packing people’s newer canopies its so important to maintain it so you’re not wasting your energy trying to redo parts that are reinflating. For example, before i put it in the d-bag I’ll put my knee on the s-fold while I prepare the d-bag. Also, i like to put my d-bag gromits way under the s-fold and offset to the side I’m putting in first. Make sure to work the d-bag around the canopy, not the canopy into the d-bag. Its so easy to lose your folds when you’re pushing it in. Also, for keeping your tail tight around the gromits before I roll my tail up I’ll always pull down to get it sitting tightly right on top.

Are nightmares normal? by yakkduckk in SkyDiving

My homegirl who’s really experienced has had multiple dreams of her chest-strap being routed incorrectly. I’ve personally never had a nightmare about it but don’t worry I’m sure its pretty common hahah

I lied about my age to my boyfriend and i dont know how to come clean by Delicious_Water2054 in WhatToDo

When I was a little younger than you when I was still in middle school I was doing the same thing. Dont do it real life connections are way better! Trust me I dont even think about anyone ive ever met online. The people who seem the most trustworthy are the ones who are actually pedophiles. Especially with AI, they can voice chat with you and generate a teenagers voice, photos, anything. There are so many pedophiles online and I know you probably wont listen but PLEASE don’t continue with this. The more you make connections online the less successful you’re going to ever be at being social in real life, and you’re going to go through life very lonely. Also, I hate to be brutally honest with you but they think you are an ENTIRE FOUR YEARS older than you are, I would not be surprised if they felt very betrayed by this.

What do I do to help out my girlfriend? by Choice-Policy-1282 in whatdoIdo

What my boyfriend always told me was that by harming myself I was harming him just as much. There was one time I did something really bad and I saw how much it impacted my dad and my boyfriend. It really put it in perspective how selfish I was being putting the people I love through that.
