YES!!! Val is coming....someday, anyway! I've got to do a little shimmy, shimmy for that one!

Sweetie...I will come visit this weekend if I can.

It's ok. Have fun in the sunshine, Florida friends! Sorry, but I don't "love" Florida...just the people that I've become friends with from that state. I just wish it wasn't raining here so much, lately.

What happened to "It never rains in Southern California"? Babyface was wrong. Clint ~ And, you'll be off to Dublin! I see how you are...

UGH! How many weekends in a row of rainy weather has Southern California had? Anyone want to show me a special rain dance or two that might help?

Ok, that's a completely ADORABLE avatar!

option, he saw the signs of insecurity in addition to many other fine qualities. The good outweighed the bad. He loved her, he married her, he loves her still but as in any relationship, there are things about her he doesn't love. That's called marriage! Very well said! Chris ~ You should try to work on this issue of your wife's insecurities together with your wife. You may think that it's her problem and she should get over it, but having a "secretive friendship" (not that I think that there is anything wrong with you being friends with your ex) with an old girlfriend is not going to help your relationship with your wife at all. As a matter of fact, your wife will probably become even more jealous and insecure before this is over, once she finds out. My advice is to tone down the friendship with the ex for a little while, until you can talk things over with the wife. Let her know that you want to have this person in your lives. Then, when your wife is ready to meet the ex, invite the old friend over to visit with the two of you. You two can then integrate her into your lives together. Who knows? Maybe the wife will become friends with her, too. Above all, your ex shouldn't be taking away from your confidences with your wife or from your private time with your wife.

Completely agreed. If parents think that their children (well, depending on their ages, of course) haven't already heard this kind of language or aren't aware of this kind of language, then they are sadly mistaken. It's still their choice whether or not to curse. People, even little/young people, have a brain and a choice in life. Also, this may be offensive to parents everywhere, but most parents think that their child (or children) is the MOST special child to ever walk the face of the earth. As a former teacher, I've seen this kind of behavior quite a bit. Parents don't mean to be blind or biased, but they are and tend to think that surely their child is THE ONE child that their fellow skydivers want desperately to see while at the DZ. Sorry to have to give a wake up call, but no matter how special and wonderful that the child may be, he/she is still a minor. Also, he/she is still a child, who will have child-like tendencies and needs. These needs and tendencies cannot always be met or handled in the best way possible, while at the DZ. Personally, I don't necessarily want to see children at the DZ, day or night...at least, not when I am busy jumping or during partying. This doesn't mean that I don't love children, otherwise. As Bytch said, a dropzone is an adult playground, plain and simple.

Gia, HUSH! Your hair looks HOT. I already told you that you look really beautiful, silly girl.

WTH? Explain please...

Love them Big Horn Rams!

What a nice thread. Thank you. Good morning and have a wonderful weekend to you and to everyone else.

It hasn't been sooooooo long for me, but I'm already dying. COMPLETELY. Yikes!

That means a lot coming from you, Kaytee girl. (Feels good, huh?) Also, good luck with the pet search! Superman ~ Thank you.

Thanks so much, Acme, I love that corset! My palms are sweating from posting that pic...lol. I'm a little shy.

Acme is beautiful! Everyone's pictures are really nice.

Hi Alaura!

Btw, I am still gagging from Bill's post, so now I'm gag-laughing!

Bill, I once read that at nudist resorts, the appropriate etiquette is for everyone to sit down on towels whenever they sit down anywhere.

Happy 21st Birthday, Sheenie girl! Have fun!

Ditto. He's a really good guy.

Wow, what wonderful news! ~ Congratulations to you both!

Lol...it wasn't me who came up with the names, Rky girlie. See Buried's post a few posts up! Edited to say: I would have posted "Cocheese and Turtle", instead! What? Is that wrong?
