I didn't know Chicago had another pro team either , just some nice fancy new stadium w/ no one in it. Now the Kane county Cougers - they're fun to watch!! Val - there's no experience like a Wrigley bleacher seat experience. I think I've seen your sis-in-law there a few times . Good job holding her back!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Could be, however, flannel sheets typically keep me the coolest, unless I'm overheating. I've use hight count cotton, low count, polyester (b/f's fault), those nice T-shirt material sheets, sleeping bag material, silk, satin & no sheets - I can't find a pattern - sometimes it's burning up, sometimes I wake up shaking I'm so cold. Doug, we all know Vallerina suffers from a case of hottieness - she's def smokin (not the tobacco way either)... There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Wow - thanks for the story - that's really cool; I never knew it. In Virginia we were only taught the war of the northern aggression (you yanks call it the civil war) , not much else. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

scary - but that is the only concern now - I've had it happen to me. I say you did a GREAT job - the way you handled that rocked!!! I'd go tell the RA what happened though. The more records the better & if you're on record first - you typically win. Good luck getting through the next few weeks - that really sucks to go through during finals (I know). There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Thank you so much, I remember vaguely hearing something about that - will have to check it out. I'm going on a sever exercise/weight loss regimine soon & so need to see a doc now anyway. Vallerina I sure as heck hope he's wrong - I wanna jump w/ you this summer!! Speaking of heat bouncing off sheets - I couldn't sleep, got up drank water, came back to bed - it was almost on fire. I was radiating so much heat, my s/o moved to the couch for a few hours . Then in the middle of the night, I woke up freezing & went to cuddle w/ him - we moved back to the bed

I don't remember when I started getting them, just realized that I was use to the sensation a few years ago. Typically I get them when sitting, sometimes walking, never when exercising though. Sometimes as often as once a day for a week, sometimes only monthly. They do hurt, kinda like slamming your fists together on the side w/ the pinky fingers together, but w/ more of a hard flop feeling.... what i'd imagine a balloon poping & then quickly growing back together would feel like if you were a balloon . It's good to know that other people have a somewhat similiar issue. When I was a baby I had a heart murmer that supposedly should've gone away as I grew up. I haven't been to a DR in YEARS other than for specific injuries. I couldn't even start to pick one in my area (I JUST moved). Plus they scare me & I'm pretty much a hypocondriac (sp?) Good advice though!! I need to look into it. Since coughing makes them go away after bout 30 - 60 seconds, I figured it'd be ok. But I can't do anything until it's gone. There is no can't.

I get hot flashes & heart palpitations all the time, fairly consistantly over the last say 10 years. I attribute it to a change in diet & climate (leaving parents home in FL to Chicago & not having my mommy cook healthy food for me) Val - I'll be interested to see the responses. Sometimes I get those hot flashes, I end up sweating in the middle of winter, outside... and in the summer, if it's below 75 I'm VERY cold. At night, I only have my torso covered & the bedding under me is so hot you could cook on it. Othertimes, I feel like a big block of ice. The 2 variations have happened under the same exact circumstances. I'm thinking of going to a DR for the heart palpatations. Sometimes they hurt, sometimes just a quick cough will even out the rythem. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

wow - good job.... my prob is the fact that I really had to think when you said "the split" I guess I just don't travel enough. plus, when the reporters say, the circle, the hump, the ____, the.... i really don't get it. but I grew up in FL, there are 3 highways & every major other street is numbered & called by that number. guess i destined to be confused. oh, the others are 55, 290 N of the 88 split & 88. I think that's it anyway There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Oops, I guess you just "save more money" @ Menards. I can say, being a transfer to Chicagoland - it is so super frustraiting the way they name the highways & tollroads. On the news in the AM on TV, they say the name & on the screen have the number.... I watch it trying my damdist to learn them. 9.5 yrs here & I've finally learned like 2 of the gazillion - grrrr. Now that I live on the SW side, the people on the train are more friendly. I've made a few new friends on my morning ride; now it's much more difficult to sleep. Oh, one of those friends is the g/f of a guy that's best friends w/ my ex.... they all did a tandem w/ me on my 2nd jump. How cool to bump into her on my new train!!!

AT MENARDS!! What's w/ the "Today" being tagged @ the end of the carpet ad? how's bout 773-202-LUNA. hey, I resemble that remark!! Sorry Val!! METRA is my secret lover too. I just love sleeping there all the time!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Yea, the interest free of 2% cards are great - IF you can get one!! I have about $20K in CC debt & $30k in student loans. I call to follow up on an offer - they say they won't give me a CC cause they can't give me more credit. I say I just want to transfer one of my other card's balance to them, no "new" debt, don't THEY want to earn interest on me? (other cards are closed) - they repeat themselves, adnausiem, back & forth. grrr... they say, pay 1 big one or 2 small ones off, then call back - how can I pay them off - other than jumping, I barely eat (actually, my s/o pays for my eating ) . I hate CC companies. However, when there's an emergency (car, hospital, family problems far away, sale @ Barneys (JK)) - they're a VERY good thing to have. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Yup, I'll be there, already registered & have the time off work - From registering.... P:Jumper Registration: 69 yea, jumper #69 - woohoo!! yeahooo!!! (I'd add my name to the list, but the posts are just so big) There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

OMG MissImperfect - THAT IS MOST EXCELLENT ADVICE!!! It is so true!! I can't believe I forgot that!! One thing I did was w/ the low limit card: buy my college class books & make sure it was paid off by semester's end. That really helped build a credit history, typically it was maxed @ the begenning of each semester, but then paid off. It is a weird mixed up system, but you can work it if you're smart, receive & heed good advice. Good luck to you!! Being 100% free of the parentals can be nice, but it can make life A LOT more tough @ times. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Hey there, eeneR; I had the same problem you did.... I drove from down town Naperville to: Wheaton Avenue College Avenue (Wheaton college's station) Downer's Grove & Glen Ellyn for parking - it SUCKED!! If your willing to drive far, Glen Ellyn typically has permit passes available w/in a month or 2 (from my own experience). I've moved to a SW burb now, they don't have a montly option. It' daily only, the lot is filled before the 7:25 train. I have to get there @ 7 to get a spot!! The train sucks sometimes, but it rocks compared to driving in hellish traffic!! Good luck on your interview!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Pretty much!! In HS, I got a $500 student card from Citibank.... I used it as a security deposit on hotels, cars & books - really emergency items. Then in college, as a waitress w/ $9k a reay in reported earnings... the same bank gave me a $10k Visa & a $5k MC, I thought I'd never use them... then I quit my job, got in a bit o trouble & had to use them to pay lawyers bills, an apartment, phone, insurance.... they suck bad!!! I'll prob get done paying them the same time I'm done w/ my long term student loan debt. I'm not lecuting you, I got lectured & it didn't help. Only you can prevent credit problems Good luck!! Ps. Target was the first store card I got - they practically threw it in my hands. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

unfortunately department store credit cards tend to be the best way to build credit if the card offers don't fly into your mail box. You could even get a Wal-Mart card or something a bit more useful than a Marshall Field's one. They do tend to have a higher interest rate, but they work. Also, a friend of mine in the mortgage business gave me this hint. Paying off your credit 100% everymonth is not a great way to build credit. It'll show an average balance of $0.00 on your report - which is like you never use the card. Lenders like to see that they might be able to get some money from you out of interest payments and that you are able to pay when a balance is built. Pay off at least 1/2 your card everyother month. Keep the balance low so you don't pay too much in interest, but have something to help build. Otherwise larger lenders (like mortgage or auto) will not see that you have the discipline to pay on something w/ a balance. Getting credit sucks - getting out of debt sucks even more.

Great advice; however is much more difficult than it seems. First, figuring out what you were REALLY meant to do is VERY difficult. Then finding this something in a position that actually supports the cost of the fun you found that you're suppose to do (skydiving) is (to me) neigh unto impossible. However, thank you for listing the signs - I have 100% of them, great! A 28 yr old burn-out. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

so, are you in the stupid canadian thread too? harhar... gotta remember this one for the bonfire!! Lets see, I suck @ - any sport which involves throwing a ball, being patient, remembering names (can forget w/in 2 min of learning it), spelling, dancing, singing, learning languages (trying my 4th one & it's not goin so well ), not creating run-on sentences and typically suck @ being nice to people.

That's what I'd do... get a mgr to pro-rate the bill & dump um. Comcast rawks!! Had them for 3 years, w/ moving each year. I've had about 2 days w/o service & they just run their happy asses over & fix the sh*t. They don't charge unless it's a prob INSIDE my apt. Also, I was able to schedule w/in 30 minutes their arrival time. Once, they were like 1.5 hrs ahead of the schedule, I was on my way home from work & the guy stayed & waited for me... Comcast is da bomb (IMHO), oh, I've been land line free for 5 years & LOVING it!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Rosa, I can only imaginethat this is a coward. Waiting until you had "just begun to use the toilet" to scream at you - is an incredulously ridiculous thing. If I were you though, I woulda swung the door open to see her face. She's basically attacking you - she deserves anything back. I can def see how this would bring back fresh horrors from Orlando & it's horrid for a tripe of a person to cause fear of any harm to you. I've heard of jealousy - but this is absolutely unacceptable!! Jeesh... I'm appalledthat this could happen to someone as kind as yourself. But, you're apparently so damn hot that you really pissed some chick off even while wearing a turtleneck - WOW!! That's an offsided compliment if there ever was one. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Very cool - I'm up for it!!

Yup, I can do a hd exit & hold the position if someone is holding onto me

Now THAT would KICKASS!!! - um, I can't yet go on my head though There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

i'm so excited too!! so many midwest neighbors to meet!! you Weege, are one of the few people who's definitaly being there influenced my decision - yea!! rockon!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)
