nacmacfeegle 0 #26 May 10, 2002 Awww your sooo nice.....see what I mean folks? 'If I don't see agin in this world, I'll see you in the next one, don't be late' --Jimmi Hendrix-Voodo Chile, (also immortalised by local boy Stevie Ray Vaughan).The skydiving world is a very small one Jessica, I'm sure we'll meet at some blown out, back of beyond DZ, somewhere over the rainbow, way up high........CyaD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBS 0 #27 May 10, 2002 Maybe I do have it all wrong and I am the negative one. --------------Don't be hard on yourself. I think it might be a function of not getting on here much, not being familiar with the tones that many people take when they are serious vs. joking vs. sarcastic, insulting, etc. I think this really does resemble a family or a dropzone. Difference is, like someone pointed out, we're jumping at the dropzone, not sitting at work looking for something to do or to bitch about. Also, though, it's a difference in interpersonal communication...there is a mountain of information about someone's attitude that you can get from looking at their face. They may say something that, when written, would come off extremely harsh. I am finding that in learning sign language, that their expressions and wording are so different from English, that a lot of times, they can be misconstrued as harsh and/or rude. I think that looking past that comes, in a big part, from being familiar with different people's personalities and writing styles.Anyway, point is, I totally see where you are coming from, but I enjoy the interactions (even though everyone thinks I'm a dick). :-)Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dove 0 #28 May 10, 2002 Wow! You must have really selective reading. Did you miss the posts where everyone pitched in to help Ann when she needed it most? Have you missed all the posts where everyone has been cheering me on through my small achievements in my healing process? Or how when gale got discouraged after her recent injury there was nothing but support and encouragement for her? I think you should click on more that just the hot topics before you pass judgement. For me recovering from an injury alone - it is my family here that really cheered me on and made me smile each and every day.

He makes me do the wobble board, stand on one leg, kick one leg out, steps, wall squats, leg presses, one-legged dip, stand on these air-filled disks, walk the inclined treadmill *backwards* for awhile (which is harder than it sounds) ride the bike for awhile... then, I think I'm done... we usually end with the bike... but Bill is feeling more sadistic than normal.. he wants to do the stair master thing. Well, let me tell you, there's no cheating on this thing - you have to step fast enough to keep it at the top of its range. So Bill sets the thing for 7 minutes and I get to work. He comes back 5 minutes later: "How ya doing?" me (breathing heavily and sweating profusely - hey, I've been doing thsi crap for a solid hour now!): "pretty good" ... so he reaches up, and bumps the speed up on the thing. Bastard! If I had something sharp and pointy at the time, I would have jabbed it in his eye! Oh well, I'll take some solice in the fact that Bill's a pansie, and I can't talk him into doing a tandem.So after all that I'm pretty sore/exausted/wore out.. and I have to drive 45 minutes to the doctor's where I sit for an hour waiting to talk to him for 5 minutes, the drive 45 minutes back home.I know, I know... Bill is just doing his job, and I"ll probably thank him for it someday... but right now I just want to jab him in the eye.You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!
