Through years of experience, I say it doesn't matter. If he goes to the library, he'll end up hooking up with the nastiest librarian there is. She'll no doubt be harboring secret needs to be a dancer. Very funny, Librarian. Somehow I'm wondering if he tries this, if it won't turn out worse? lol PhillyKev, Why don't you do an experiment for us? Go find a librarian, the one that appears the most demure, etc... Date her for a while and report back how it went? peace, jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

I've gotta say Andrea, I lived next to my great uncle for years, he fought at Normandy beach. No matter how much I loved him and respected him, I wanted to kill him every weekend. He'd mow his lawn at sunup (I'm talking as early as 6am) on sat/sun. Right under my bedroom window!

lol - kris your always the voice of simple logic. exactly what I was thinking. I hate to admit, but I didn't and still don't want, any big hairy guy strapped to me either. Course if our tandem instructors looked like Kris, then I'd probably be a tandem lunatic. peace, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

That is so cool Amber. Isn't incredible when shit works? When things just "go"? Blue Skies, Vibes, and Warmth to you. Go out, kick ass, and take names. The world is yours. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Absolutely nothing. Just another boring day, here in Paradise. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Yeah, hell, me too. I like being in the dark, that way when I discover the simple shit I'm so easily amazed! peace, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Not bad at all, I'm dialed in from my sons hospital room and I thought it loaded up nicely! Good job, nice design. Great site. Peace, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

yes It's a gas, gas, gas...

Shit Kai, keep this up and CrazyIvan will have to deputize you!!!! I am the tunnel king! Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Massively cool. j It's a gas, gas, gas...

Good point, forgive the fuckup.... Jeeez oh peez, kill me why don't ya. I look at the strange ones as b's only because I've never considered my sense of humor as "main stream" Regarding "almost a blockbuster"??? Well hell, I almost didn't get my chute open, so? peace, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Most definitly an excellent choice K. I love all the little scenes where the sperm are celebrating because they finally think they are getting free! Also when she rewards him for standing up to her old boyfriend, even though he got his butt kicked (more than likely because of)... :-) Cool Movie. I have to go with either Clerks though or Office Space, or Fight Club, or "Being John Malkovich".... All of which I think are in the equally sick mind frame... peace, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Shit, missed you by a little more than a week! You think it's cold out there? Come to Misery and freeze your butt off with us, it's somewhere around 20something right now! Take care, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Me too. Looks like we have a few things in common. I count myself lucky. While I've still been known to have a few drinks, it's fairly rare now days and I left behind drugs and week long disappearances years and years ago... At some point, I chose to love myself more. I've seen more than a few of mine in that position as well. Truly sad. As far as my support? Freely given. You deserve it. I wish I could help more. Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Thanks to everyone of you for the outpouring of love and caring. Eric's MRI came back today and it isn't showing any damage, though, in retrospect, we know there is some due to the issues he is faced with right now. However, it appears right now, and we have nothing to tell us different, that he is capable of a strong, if not full recovery! I'm trying real hard to contain myself, because I know we have a long road ahead, and it will take time to truly see how far back Eric can journey. Please keep him and my family in your thoughts and prayers. Truly, without a doubt, Love does heal all things. With professional help and all the love I can muster, and his family, church, friends, etc.... My hope is his heart will heal as well. He's an incredible boy, I've told him so before, and now, will continue. You all are amazing, warm, loving human beings. I am certainly happy to be amongst each of you. Peace Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Big vibes to you. I spent years addicted to coke, pot, meth, and damn near anything else I could find... I know exactly what the experience is like, and it's tough, on both ends. peace to you, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Thank you Paige. The crying is now down to once an hour. I think of how dark is heart was to have done this. I know how much he loved me, because he told me every day too. He knows how much I loved him. In the end though, it wasn't enough to sustain him. We will survive, he will get stronger. Whether he lives all his days with simply the ability to smile (that which he has now) or he recovers fully, I'll remain his number one fan and beside him till the end, which I hope will be beyond my days. My children (blood and step) are the greatest things I've ever experienced in life. The love they give is beyond what I could ever ask for. I'm thankful he chose to come back for a bit, and I will double my efforts to enjoy his existence. Thank You Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Thank you. Truly though, it was a blessing that God stepped in and brought him back. I'm so glad that I had taken CPR, but it was so many years before that I was way off on compressions to breaths, but alas, it worked. It worked and his heart started. For this I will be forever thankful. Take the class, you never know when you'll need it. Even though I was off on the ratios, if I had never done it, I would of been standing over him crying with no answers.... So at the very least, I was able to compress his chest, and breathe for him. Thanks for your heartfelt wishes. Peace to you, Jac It's a gas, gas, gas...

Tom, thank you so much. I didn't think I'd get him back. I know what his mother went through when she found him. It is the most frightening thing in the world. I only wish she would've gotten him back as well. I have to believe that she and her husband are completely and totally heartbroken. The pain of this is beyond anything I could've ever imagined and for me this is even after I found out Eric's heart was beating. My heart goes out to them. Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

LOL Hell Yes he does! In fact, he asked where I was when I met him. lol remember: learning to fly is simple. you simply have to throw yourself hard at the ground and miss. 42 Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

You know Lisa, I have to say. I'm sure you could be a bytch when you want. As I can be a complete and downright total ass. But honestly? Any interaction I've ever had with you, or watching you with others? Well, SkyAngel would be more appropriate. Thank You for your thoughts, I will let you all know of his progress. Also? I'm seeking a doctor myself this week. I've come to the realization that I have to or I will go completely nuts over this one. Peace Lisa, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Thanks Kel, Much appreciated. I'm having a very tough time seeing out the other side of this thing, but I'm trying. I know this, when he opened his eyes, and smiled at me, I thought my heart was going to explode. I've never seen anything more beautiful. It reminded me of his birth when he opened his eyes. Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

Thank You Kris. I'm sitting here in the hospital right now, and believe it or not, I'm not sure what the add info is, but I'll try and get it. I sure missed you last week, was looking forward to meeting you. BIG BIG Thanks and vibes for the directions, along with a map at the rental place, I used your directions to get to the dz. Your a sweetie Kris, I hope I get to meet you sometime down the road, maybe I'll get the chance to shoot directions or assistance your way some day. peace Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

You are, such an incredible sweetheart. Thank you. Please do call. I'll be busy until around 9:30pm Central, but call anytime then or after. I'm still at the hospital, in fact, I'm having a really really tough time leaving him. This will be my first nite away from him since it happened. Everytime I close my eyes I see him and it frightens me to no end. Anyhow, you were also the biggest highlite for me last week. Getting to Perris and meeting someone that I knew, a friendly voice that I could put with a face, you were incredible for taking time out and meeting me. Hugs to You Rosa, call me when you can. Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

A week ago I did Tunnel in Perris Valley with Pat McGowan. It was an incredible experience that I'll never forget. A week ago my biggest worry was my form. I returned to St. Louis. Woke up the following day, feeling fabulous. That evening, my son, my baby, decided to hang himself. My daughter found him, dead in his room. She screamed, I ran, pulled him down, laid his lifeless body on the floor, checked his vitals, and began CPR. After thirty seconds or so, his heart started beating, and he began to breathe. The streets were covered in snow and ice, as I wept, and breathed with him (his breaths were irregular at best) my daughters friend was downstairs on the phone with 911. To compress it all, he spent the first part of the week in a coma at ICU at Cardinal Glennon in St. Louis. He is out of the coma, walking (with assistance) eating (with assistance), smiling, kissing, and hugging. Since he can only speak one word at a time that I can understand, and his awareness is marginal for the most part, I have no idea what he remembers of his life previously. I don't really know if he even knows me at this point. He is at this moment getting an MRI. The CAT scans and EEG done earlier in the week are promising and the results haven't shown any major damage yet. However, he has a long road ahead, and we'll just have to take it one step at a time. I've been a wreck for a week. I've felt every emotion from thankfulness to anger. Understand, this wasn't a wake up call to me. My entire life since my son and daughter has been born has revolved around them. I love them, hug them, kiss them, praise them and take part in every aspect of their lives with all of my being. My son was very very happy the two weeks prior to my trip to CA. He has been under the care of a psychiatrist for over a year and in counseling for some time as well. However, all signs pointed to a strong child, involved in his church, three years a football player, drummer, chess player, Scout, etc..etc... I almost lost him. In fact I did. But, he came back. I'm not sure what my point is here, just that I thought I should share. My heart is completely and totally broken. A week ago, everything was right with my world. Now I'm frightened, saddened, and heartbroken. I've never asked, but if it's in you, vibes would be wonderful. peace to you all, Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...
