The doctor who had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life, finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her. As the young doctor was looking through the list, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills. "Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?!?" "Yes, they help me sleep at night." "Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!" She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee. "Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16-year old granddaughter drinks. And believe me, it helps me sleep at night!"

I think my Chemistry set was one of my favorites. I loved concocting formulas that would explode. I loved to blow things up. Patrick -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Postal Rodriguez, Muff 3342

I have to have my morning "Redeye". French roast with a double espresso shot in it. I have also heard this called a "Hammerhead". Patrick -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Postal Rodriguez, Muff 3342

I guess I had wanted to skydive for quite a while. When I moved to Buffalo I decided I wanted to make some changes in my life. Then my wife of 30 years decided she was moving to CA forever so I called my cuz at Marana and arranged a trip. My son also wanted to jump so we met there and did our first tandems from Marana's Cessna the same day. Before I reached the ground I knew I would be jumping for the rest of my life. That was May 15, 2002 and I now have 63 jumps. I hope to have 163 by the end of this season. I wish now I had started this adventure 30 years ago.

0:4:1 Opening weekend at Frontier. 4 jumps. 1 landing off DZ in the tall bushes (well, saplings, not really trees). No video, so it never happened. I bought beer anyway. Patrick -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Postal Rodriguez, Muff 3342

Sounds about right to me: A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes." The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and proceeded to pour the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things -- your family, your partner, your health, your children -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. "Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers." -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Postal Rodriguez, Muff 3342

I was wondering if anyone keeps statistics on how many jumps are done each year worldwide. I'm pretty sure each DZ will know its own stats, but does anyone consolidate all the numbers? If so, where can I find them? Patrick -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Postal Rodriguez, Muff 3342

One thing we did with our son as he grew up was to give him choices. Usually 2 of the 3 choices were OK with us and the 3rd was one he didn't want. But he felt he was getting to choose. Sometimes he fooled us and chose the 3rd one anyway. Patrick -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Postal Rodriguez, Muff 3342
