I'll agree to being sick of winter. But, I must say that today is a beautiful day. Nice blue skies and I could actually feel the warmth from the sun when I went of for a coffee. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was at the show. Thankfully he made it out in time. He has some second degrees burns on his face and on his arm. Whew, my heart is still racing. I got a call from his roomate saying that he went. Took me nearly an hour to get a hold of him to see if he was okay. He said it was absolutely a horrific scence. I only wish that others were as lucky as him to get out in time. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

It is so sad. I saw this in the local news this morning while I was heading out to work. I have been to this place many times. They always had real fun shows there. My heart goes out the families of those involved. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I don't really recieve a hard time. Then again I have only done a few tandems so I guess we will see. But, my old boss did give me a nice gift certificate to the DZ as a Christmas present to use towards AFF. Inside the card she wrote "Just please be safe". "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

Cool video - thanks for posting it. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I love Rotties. My parents have six and they breed them as well. Nothing cuter than a puppy Rottie. Attached are some from a litter a few years ago. How cute. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

Cool sig line. Brings back some memories. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I'll try to be as short as possible in my explaination. A few months ago I started a new reporting position at my company. It was more like I was just moved over into my current position because I have experience in reporting. Well, it started off that I was going to be working with my new manager on consolidating all of the reporting that is done across the division. In the beginning, the result that my company was looking for was for there to be fewer reports that were standardized. After this was done they were going to have each department in our division still take part in the completion of these monthly reports. Now, the head of the division wants to form a central reporting team and utilize some of the people who are currently in reporting related positions. This means taking resources away from each of the departments. My old manager approached me today about this and was not too happy because she would be losing the largest number of people to the new reporting team. This will result in a huge loss of budget dollars for her department. I'm not sure how to handle this because she was the one who put my name in for my current position. I think that she feels like in some way I betrayed her or something. In fact, none of these decisions are even up to me. I will have some say in who we bring in to our group, but, not the final say. Any advise on how I should handle the situation. I tried to brush it off today but I am meeting with her first thing in the morning on an unrelated subject, but I'm sure this will come up.

Well good vibes coming your way. I'm sure everything will be fine. I was in a simiar situation last fall. I thought I was coming down with the flu - instead, I found out I needed to have my gall bladder removed. I was a wreck before hand, but it was not as bad as I thought. Within a few weeks of the surgery I was feeling back to normal.

On my first tandem while still on the ground. Me: "I think I'm going to throw up". Camera Guy: "Cool, I'll make sure I have the camera rolling." Funny thing is that I don't remember even saying this - I only know because it was on the video. BTW - I didn't wind up getting sick.

Be safe out there - wherever it is that you will be sent off to. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I waited until I got home to open this. I thought it was something real bad that I couldn't open at work. All I have to say is GROSS. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

Okay in the future I will give some sort of warning.

Sorry - was not trying to scare you. Just trying to figure out what you were talking about by the process of elimination. I would have gone on posting horrendous pics if you hadn't said what you were talking about. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

You should have been a bit more specific in your original post. Then we would not have been left to try and figure out what you were referring to. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

OPPS - maybe I was wrong. Sorry . "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I think he's talking about http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=5859 "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

Me too - not sure if it would have made my ten things about myself though. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

When I first read this I thought it said Good Hunger. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

This one here. http://www.despair.com/idiocy.html I love these things. Still trying to decide which one to get for my desk. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

Yes - there is an extra hour of footage only on the DVD. Just got mine over the weekend. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I would walk. I walked for my Master's. I did not want to but I did it to make my mom and dad happy. After it was all over I was happy that I had. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I was a big fan of the smurfs. Kind of a fun show. Smurfette surround by all the male smurfs while they all lived in little mushrooms. What was the creator of that show smoking or dropping... "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

I'm getting the same storm as you right now. We've already got like 6-7 inches. They say maybe 12-16 more by tonight. I just went out to turn my car around in the driveway and got stuck. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."
