Woohoo, I didn't know that you were telling others, yet. Congrats to my Frenchy & Maria! Does this mean that you're not smoking as much, Nicky?

Sweetie, a few days ago...your Myspace account left MY myspace account the same exact comment that the OP posted on this thread. I deleted it. Unfortunately, you've been hacked, Senor Bolas. Edited: I would have told you earlier, but I forgot and thought that you already knew. I apologize!

Hello Chris~ Happy belated birthday, sweetie!

Something about this post was very "Sex & the City". Salud, Chelle!

Everyone is different, and not everyone trusts easily. I'm one of those private people who just doesn't let others in to my world very easily (not even casual friends), unless I trust them very much. I trust my friends to a certain degree, or they wouldn't be my friends. Yet, those people whom I trust 100% are on a very short list. I trust my two brothers, my two parents and Spencer. That said, there are many people, whom I think are trustworthy, like Bethany, Nick, Alex (non-skydiver), Millie (non-skydiver), Ladonna, Tanya from SD Elsinore, Alaura, Darcy and several more of my both whuffo and skydiver friends. Most of those people are not well-known DZ.commers, even if some of them are skydivers.

Maybe when you're better, we can go to the tunnel every now and again. I haven't flown in a tunnel for over a year and a half, so I'd love that as much as you would! Btw, it was GREAT seeing you last night, Ladonna. Despite both your and my crazy schedules, I'm glad that we made the time for dinner!

Awww, sweetie...lol.

...because men are sexy, and I love them. Plus, I cannot imagine my life without my brothers, father, love/best friend and many of my close male friends. I get so much unconditional love, respect and happiness from them all.

Good luck with getting your treadmill fixed, but if I were you, I'd go running outside. I'll bet that it would be much more fun and a more challenging workout, than you think.

Sweetie, I can totally relate. My late best friend (we were like sisters for over 10 years) and I went to Disneyland every year for her birthday for the last few of her birthdays before she died. Her death was not AIDS related...she was killed in a freak car accident one morning on her way to work. Still, Disneyland will ALWAYS remind me of her. It was the anniversary of her death on Saturday the 25th, and I had been thinking of her, Disneyland, etc. ***I would LOVE to go to Disneyland with our group, especially since it has special meaning for both Beth and myself for our remembered loved ones. Count me in! Ediited: One more thing...my late best friend and I had wanted very much to help those affected with AIDS through volunteer work. Prior to her sudden death, her and I had seriously talked of what we were going to do to help those stricken with AIDS. I am finally doing something in this area. I stayed away because it reminded me too much of her and my sadness at not having her in my life, but I know that she would be so happy, that one of was able to do this. It's not much, but it's a start. She is one of my inspirations for this, for sure. Now, Lisa and Beth (and their loved ones) are two more of my inspirations for doing this.

Watching this video makes me feel glad that I don't watch television. This young lady may have been nervous, but what I find troubling is that she had a difficult time forming an opinion on this subject by herself. It seems like she was trying so hard to find an appropriately rehearsed response, that she forgot to just "listen, think and respond".

I just got home from school, Ladonna. Ironically, I have been thinking of you a lot, lately. It's probably because we haven't seen each other in far too long. Knowing you, I know that it was really difficult for you to write what you posted. I wanted to thank you for posting that for the people, who may need it, so they may not feel alone with their situation. Also Ladonna, I hope that you continue to remember that you do have friends, who may not totally understand what it's like to feel suicidal, but we love and wish we could somehow help. That said, what are you doing tomorrow night? I'd love for you to come out with Lisa (?) and me for a couple of hours. PM me, if you are available, ok? If not, we need to plan a fun girl's night in the near future. (Miss you!)

Hey Lisa, I'm sorry, but I didn't see this prior to now. Sure, I'm in class until late tonight, but why don't I meet you at your work tomorrow. We can drive together from there. PM me or text me later, ok? I'll be home at around 11pm tonight, if you want to chat! Anyone else who wants to carpool, PM us!

Happy birthday, Billy!!!

Of course, we will!

Me too!

I thought I was the violent one, SFB? (Btw, I missss youuuuu!!!) Gia~ Good luck with everything, girlie. Much love and many positive >>> sent your way!

I'm proud of you, sista! Please also send a Myspace bulletin prior to the event about the raffle, so I can remember to buy some tickets. Cheers!

I did a pantie exchange several months ago, so I sent some cute NEW (of course, they had to be new!) Victoria's Secret panties to a friend's friend back then as part of the exchange. Apparently, some of my friend's friends suck because NONE of them sent ME any panties! WTF! We were supposed to get 24 new ones or something like that. I guess the chain was broken with my friend's friends. Oh well, I'll never play that "fun game", again...

Hi fellow AIDS Walkers, I just received a call from a person named Scott Hoeninger regarding an AIDS Walk event this Tuesday night for the Star Walkers. (Star Walkers are people who decide to raise $1000 or more for the AIDS Walk.) The event is on Tuesday (Aug. 28th) at 855 Beverly in West Hollywood at a place called Hotel Sofitel from 7 - 9 pm. It's to honor last year's Star Walkers and to inspire us this year. There will be some appetizers, etc. Plus, we get to meet the AIDS walk staff. We all have different individual goals, but I told him that our team goal is $10,000, so we are ALL invited to this. There is also a fundraising workshop on Sept 6 (& also one on the 25th) from 6:30-8pm at 3550 Wilshire Blvd. 3rd floor. Regarding the event on this Tuesday night, Scott would like to know by tomorrow, how many of us can make it. Please let me know, and I will e-mail him a total. Also, this is his e-mail = ScottH@aidswalk.net, if you'd like to ask him any questions yourselves. Thanks, and just RSVP to me or by writing to Scott, if you can.

Happy birthday, Gogglesnteeth! Congratulations again to you and to your wife! Your daughter is gorgeous.

Hi Lisa! What are you (and I) doing up? I have a suggestion...the 6th graders, whom I was working with last school year seemed to LOVE their end of year 6th grade class trip to a water park called SOAKCITY. I remember that they wanted so much for me to go with them, which I did! (Nope, I didn't get in the water. I've read too many scary things about water park water...) You should take her to a fun theme park or other place of her choice, where you two (and maybe the mom, as well) can spend quality time together. I think that is so much better than giving her something material. Kids (especially at this age, believe it or not) want our attention, love and personal time, more than those superficial things.

Wow, that's fabulous! Keep us informed, if you decide to do this again. I remember thinking that it was a wonderful idea for a great cause. Take care, Jeremy!

Hey Scott, I guess that I am surprised at what you write in your posts. It's not the kind of person that I would have thought that you could be. I'm glad that this thread was not to be taken seriously. Don't worry about the stuff at Taft. That's not a big deal. I like to give everyone a fair chance, even if I didn't know you too well. It's a shame that Taft did close down back then, but I love that I've gone to many DZs and met lots of great people, since then. Anyway, if you remember to give people the benefit of the doubt, it will make life better for you, I promise. Take care, Scott.

Hello Scott, I've met you in person at our old DZ. I have to be honest that I had heard things about you back then, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt as a person. I even stuck up for you socially back then...although you don't know that. You seemed decent enough, just a little bit of a social misfit at times. Furthermore, I don't like to treat people differently just because they don't fit in. Scott, your posts have me concerned about what your mindset may be towards women. Do you really believe what you've posted? How can you have these thoughts about all women? What about your mother, sister (if you have one) or female friends? No matter what your attitude...no matter what you think, it is harmful, when you make sweeping generalizations about a group of people. Period. Isn't it only fair to give other people (even people of a different gender, race, culture, religion) the benefit of the doubt? Don't be one of those hateful people, Scott. Please think about what I'm saying as a possible alternative towards how you feel about women and people, in general. By making sweeping negative generalizations and assuming the worst of people, you lose credit as a person. By giving others a chance to be respected, you give yourself a chance to be respected.
