I think it kinda looks like you, but not really. The one w/ you & Andy REALLY looks like teh crazy fun Val we all know & love. That pic of you when you're young looks more like you than your current stepford wives lookin avitar though. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

21% pure! Thank goodness at least one more person is less pure than I. I didn't even pick a lot of the things on there... how did I end up here? Jeesh. And, why is it that women are so much less pure than men on here - perhaps are we judged by a higher standard? Discrimination (hehehe)!!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

Thank you both - that is a very cool web-site! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Jimmy Buffet discriminates against women. runs & hides.... comes back out - KIDDING - JEESH!!

Wow - that's cool (well, crazy anyway). Where is your source? I love to look up things like that? Does it have a date around when this story happened? There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Yes, they were, but I don't know the story behind this one. However... "Ring around the roses" is talking about protection from the black death while everyone else is dying & "London bridges falling down" is talking about the burning of london in the middle of the plague There is no can't.

yup ... but I can get on monster jobs {shrug} There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Sick & twisted nursery rhyme? I could only find 1 person in my circle of acquaintances that does. Here it is: My dear, do you know, How a long time ago, Two poor little babes, Whose names I don't know, Were stolen away on a fine summer's day, And left in a wood, as I've heard people say. And when it was night, So sad was their plight! The sun it went down, And the moon gave no light! They sobbed and they sighed, and they bitterly cried, And the poor little things, they lay down and died. And when they were dead, The robins so red, Brought strawberry-leaves And over them spread'; And all the day long, They sung them this song: "Poor babes'in 'the wood! Poor babes in the wood' Oh don't you remember the babes in the wood ?" There were so many crazy things passed through generations. One on-line source quotes it from the early 1600's. Funny thing is, now there are a few newer versions saying they were strolling away & got lost in the woods. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

This looks so cool - however, I get this warning when I click on ANY of your links... There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

No way, I agree w/ Billvon - crazy!! I also agree w/ TomA, wrong way & Kennedy. There are many women that have natural misscarages - I do not think they've gone through an abortion. Ps. I'm pro-life, but as many have said here, not an absolutionist (sp?) & I also don't project my morals on others. I've gone into the PPH office, walking through a line of picketers calling me a killer - funny, cause I think I recognized one of the ladies from the life chain I was in years ago.... anyway. have a great night - I'm outtie.

Val, College was a blast, but I couldn't wait to get the heck outta there and get on w/ my super great "grown up life"... well, I graduated, realized I didn't have any friends left & my job sucked. Last year, almost 1 month shy of 5 years out of college - I FINALLY was happy w/ my life (I still hate my job though). I've gone in & out of many people's lives, just never seeming to fit in w/ the group. Now, I have many friends & 3 "best friends" (b/f included). Often I have nothing to do, but I'm happy @ home. It's like peace finally found itself to me. As much as the world continues to suck, my friends ROCK!! (Or I'm just old & complacent ). There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

Yup, lawyer - I'd love to be one, just not sure which kind. I could sell Honda's, but would pull all my hair out & have permanent acne from the stress of commission living. I just LOVE to hear people success stories - it really helps!! And they're a great place for ideas on survival. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Perhaps, but I don't want to, I want to run someone else's business. ACME - there are too many of us. if not for buying a jump package over winter, I wouldn't be able to jump this summer - I simply don't know how people do it Clay - it's that, depending on finding people to pay me that keeps me from anything commission based - I couldn't sell a heater in Alaska , let alone my own company. I've looked into being a counselor @ a camp for children that would otherwise go to juvie, teaching (math), going to law school, joining the peace corp & finally going back to school for architecture. I've briefly looked into working to be a job site foreman (would that be forewoman?) and even into construction (housing). None of the tallents I've built (other than arguing) will help me in any of these - I'm desk trained, not life trained. My parents have point blank told me that I can not move back home or even store my furniture @ their place for any reason, not for going to school, moving onto a campsite or going into the corp. I could sell my stuff & go to school, but then Mr. Bank One, Citibank & MBNA still want their monthly payments. And the student loan banks will only hold off as long as I'm adding more debt onto their books, that's counting on the fact that they'd even lend me more money (ha). Anyway, things will be fine, I can always be a waitress & work a second job @ the mall or something. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

WOW - those are big steps!! Congrats on gettin your own company up & running. Sounds like hard work put to good use. I believe it'd be frustraiting to be told what to do and where to be after being your own boss. I wish I had that much direction in my life. Andy, I'm getting up to 5 months notice - they could let me go tomorrow. I'm "probably" getting severence, but there's a good chance it won't come through. It is a growing industry - but I hate working in it. My entire educational career lands me here (even in HS, I took business classes rather than art, shop or other core classes) and now - I want out.

[shankin in my boots]

I know, I know, thank you so much for the reinforcement!! I just know that I won't be able to pay my bills & have fun if I go back to entry level in those type of jobs. Crazy as it may seem, I really want to do some type of building work. Be it on a construction sight, woodwork or in wearhouse organization.... i just dunno. It is an opportunity - just a very scary 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)

Yah, one of those silly blessing in desguise thingies, right? I guess I should have expected it. I'll be @ CSC tomorrow morning . At least I already paid for my jump package There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

It does suck, if there is any solice, it's in the fact that I'm not alone. But sometimes I wonder if God isn't playing a cruel trick on me. Like, ok - you wanted to move there when you hated life in Chicago, now that life's great, you love your friends, have a super man, things are under control - NOW, now you have a job somewhere else. A replacement job - nope . Well, there are a few entry level options, all paying bout $15k less than I have to make to pay my bills. My other prob is that I don't like being in finance, but that's where all my experience is from. All I can hope is that they give me severence. It'd be nice to have a more narrow time frame. 150 days is mid-September, but it could happen anytime between now & then . There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

Fired - that's right; my job is being outsourced to Dallas, TX. Grrr.... Exactly one year ago, I was making plans to move to Houston. But, it didn't happen. Now, my job is moving there & I'm not - grrr. I've known this as a secret for months, but now it's public knowledge & so I can beef about it on a public forum. 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 - that is a great joke!! My parents haven't really bothered me for a while. When I was 22 my mom tried to hook me up w/ a co-worker of hers. I went for coffee w/ him & 2 months later he was arrested on possesition of cocaine w/ intent to sell!! I told my parents to not bother bout me untill I was 35 & still hard core single. NOW it's my b/f's mom that keeps bothering me bout us getting married & being ready for children - ugh!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Everyone's giving the right advice. I stopped telling my parents about any men in my life. Then, just before going on a 10 day vacation I told them bout my current s/o... they asked who I was going w/, I said his name, they asked who he was, i said my b/f - "been together for bout 8 months, hadn't I mentioned him to them - hmm, odd." next thing they knew was that we are moving in together

NO Tomas is the Weenie . Actually, Peter & I swung by CSC to pick up our gear (stored there) and they had decided to open for the holiday. He did 6, I did 3 jumps. Actually did a belly 4 way & had a bunch of people ask where I got my "new" RW suit I wear it about 1x/weekend - why can't they remember . Did 2 great sit jumps. I actully docked on Peter's foot 5x on the 2nd one -

My b/f's sis-in-law is from Romania. Great food!! And there's this home-made drink, Cherries soaked in almost pure alcohol w/ lot of sugar for a few months - then they strain it - delicious!!
