  1. French braid No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  2. Anyone else deal with a person acting stalkerish online? I think I've asked this before. It's beyond creepy. I really don't know how to deal with it. They basically just kinda stalk me in forums, threads,etc. ok I'll admit I was pretty trusting and if someone ask me my username on a site I would tell them. No biggie I thought until this person started showing up in all of them making comments and then wanting me to know it was them. I was so thankful when it stopped the last time but Ugh, the person is back. I feel like saying "get a life" but last time I responded they seemed to become more and more obsessed. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

  8. I am so sorry you were put through things like that. Survivors truly don't want to have anyone "feel" any part of what they've gone through. But just to have patience in their healing process. I suppose some that don't heal as much as others mistakenly take that a route that they think will help but only hurts others and themselves. I'm truly sorry. Life is an amazing thing and healing from anything frees us to experience it to the fullest. Including skydiving!!! :-) No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

  14. Just wanted to add this. When a survivor is able to do a tandem these are some of the things they have overcome. Trust is a HUGE thing to a survivor, basically in a short period of time that seems like it's lasted for hours all trust and feeling safe is ripped from them. They may or may not be hurt physically but their soul has been hurt, their sense of value, and so many more things that are hard to describe have been inflicted deeply on them. Hopefully they begin a long and painful process to healing. But sometimes the soul is the hardest to heal. You may not think twice about sitting next to a stranger on a bus or train or standing in a crowd. But when you do that,you are in a sense trusting that stranger or strangers not to hurt you. A survivors a lot of times isn't able to. There's the panic, the doubt if they're safe, the "could this person hurt me","can I get away","how would I escape".And so many more thoughts can flash through their minds. There are a thousand and one ways a survivor can be triggered and yet has to learn to deal with each one and work towards overcoming that trigger. There's the hard work of learning to trust those they love again yes many times they've lost the trust in them too. They've also lost trust in themselves, in their own judgment in the ability to keep themselves safe and they second guess every minute, every action. I could go on and on about the road to healing but for many it's a life long process. For those lucky enough to get extremely expensive help it's still a hard and life changing process. With time and hard work they begin to trust again those they love those that in a sense they're "safe" with but again it hard work. Some never make it, some only make it that far. Now comes the woman that decides to make a tandem to celebrate the road to healing. She is now going to put her trust in a stranger mostly likely a guy that she met a few minutes before. She will be physically harnessed to him, she will be intimately close to him. Then she's in a plane, a confined space with no exit with people she may or may not know or have just met a minute before. Trusting them to not harm her just like she's placed trust in the TI. Then when it's time to jump she's given up even that tiny bit of control over the situation if she had decided to ride the plane down. Again a Huge step of trust that no one realizes. Each step in the tandem is a huge step of trust for a survivor. Now the jump. That point where there is absolute freedom from thought and any control they may have had. They have given up everything and trusted a stranger to keep them safe and that trust wasn't misplaced. They've proven to themselves that they can and will overcome every thing that was stripped from them. That an ugliness no longer has even the tiniest hold on their lives. That's what a tandem can be to a survivor. I know I've done a bad job of describing it all and repeated myself over several times but as usual my thoughts come a million miles an hour and I want to say so much but just don't know how. Now you have the TI that is a sex offender that has ripped someone's world apart and yet it's ok for them to do tandems. And if this TI gets a survivor and doesn't have the decency to step aside and let another TI take the survivor? Afterall according to them they paid the price of what they did and it's in their past so hey" suck it up people and deal with it". Plus, maybe they get a thrill out of having a woman legally in his control again. The thrill of mocking everything the woman has done to heal. But that's his right for being "good" and hopefully changing or at the least not getting caught. I know some will take this and advocate for the perps rights and all that. That's fine. I never said they couldn't skydive, I've just said they shouldn't be TI's is that really a lot to ask? I guess for some it is. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
