"Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home his face might burn up." - "DEEP THOUGHTS" by Jack Handy "I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they chose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas." - "DEEP THOUGHTS" by Jack Handy ~AirAnn~

Thank God this person is ok. His lozer 'friend' should have NOT fled. IMO At least I would never leave a friend of mine. Jail, fine or not. I cherish the few I have. Even if they are imperfect like me. However, I needed some information similar to this as I have a close friend that I dont want to BASE jump anymore. Absolutley for my own peace of mind. (selfish) I say very little but go freakin nuts in my head about it, and I can not sleep till he gets back home. I am Ok about bridge day, but the wires on a tower -Nope. Also you might get nailed with charges of criminal trespass and reckless entanglement. (Last time he got chased by a Mad Cow) ~AirAnn~

Hey Darlin, I know about the "my animals are my Babies" stuff. I really do, as the silly buggers I have will be my only kids for real. My former 'Dr' thought he was a Jedi Knight with the lazer swinging it all over the place and I barely lived. Result was no offsping for me. Likely good news as I can barely keep myself out of trouble. Vets can be a serious drain on the bank account. Years ago I paid right at $1000 for my Brittany Spaniel to make a poop. Baby Back ribs, long story. I cant imagine what kitty has got going on. I am truely hoping that kitty can get relief very soon. I am taking the dogs this week to the vet get their fingernails cut. I cant do it. I dont want to hurt the babies. But the drive to the vet is extremely dangerous. With Skeet in the car, people can no longer drive their cars, one time we caused a small wreck. And that was on the back streets to avoid that very thing. If they hit me the babies might get hurt. ~AirAnn~

Are you going to wear that ribbed thing inside out for your pleasure? ~AirAnn~

BwaahHhaaa hhh Aa... That is at least worth $25. for the exceptional thought process. I want to see the digital enhanced 'Sadam as a woman' shots. ~AirAnn~

I like ZOE!! I was abandoned at a vet office with 2 of my sisters and my mother, who have since passed away. There is no crying in Skydiving! (That jerked a tear out of one eye.) Let me get my backpack..... Where is this place ... ~AirAnn~

No I dont have instructions. Ceiling fan with light going to a dimmer switch. From the ceiling -looks like a black wire and a white wire. To the seiling fan -looks like green, blue, black and white. Now what?? Thank you.

3 Smurf's kitties are here. You know 11 animals is an odd number. I hate odd numbers. Let me go look for something else. That will make a nice even number. ~AirAnn~

BEM, I was wondering when you would show up. I figured it would be this morning. Guess you were alseep from working all night. Here is your wake up call. ~AirAnn~

Dont think the worst. Positive vibes. Kitty will feel better really soon. I know its hard, believe me I do. Hang in and wait till the word from Kitty's Doctor. A bad infection, those can come quick. 3 kittens born here last night about 7-7:30. I gotta write that down for birthday parties. {{{Kitty Kitty Vibes}}} ~AirAnn~

That is funny as hell. I will have to check back and see what FNC#1 says

Actually, that would take some secret coding I guess. He is always over there type type typing. He is making a deal where you click on the movie name or something. I will yell over there and about this search thing. It might be easy or hard to do. I just read web stuff writings not actually write them. ~AirAnn~

How is that DZ going anyway? ~AirAnn~

Kelly, you wont believe this. (but, maybe you will knowing me) After my coffee and post this am, I remembered about the Levin cat who started to have her first litter last night, rudely during Star Trek and beside me on the couch. I think there was a commercial. It was her first litter. So her knowing zip, nada, nothing was an under statement. Especially with some 6 dogs looking on, not the optimal spot. Skeet of course was oblivious and the other 5 make up about one leg before the hip on Skeet, but still. So- I take her to the birthing room. (master bath) I stick her there and explained it is not a tummy ache. I put sterile stuff all around and since I have done this before, thats about all I need to do. So, I am back on the couch watching Alfred Hitchcock by this time. Three commercials/kittys later, it seems to be ok. I cleaned them all up for her and she is not sure what the heck they are. But they shut up when they get to a nipple. (must be male) So again after my morning post, I go check it out. I can not find the kittys. I look around and around. I look in the jacuzzi bath, nothing. Shower, nothing... I can not find the damn things any where. Finally I did.... They were in the litter box. Stop bugging your eyes out, I said litter box. So anyway - I have bug eyes at this point and OMG no, no, this can not be. I have just come back from explaining the whole thing to her and put them in a cardboard box. Jiminey Crickets! (ps- kitty litter was clean) Should I now go looking for poop? There is a glass door that leads out to the atrium so. BUT this is the same kitty kitty who fell in the pool 3x. (she gets out fine) I am starting to get the idea that she is not quite bright. ~AirAnn~

We call it liquor you call it liqueor. We call it checker you call it chequer. Now why does something called -Dubar- actually remind me of AgDave? ~AirAnn~

Its not that the kitty has hot issues there, its just that kitty remembers Texas. Now kitty kitty wants everything cold. Including kitty environment. Well, so its in the fridge - get a kitty door, is my solution. Doesnt like hooknswoop? Why does that not surprise me at all? He needs to stop thinking evil thoughts. Flat Face? Oh... I thought it was just you shut the door on the poor thing. ~AirAnn~

Could you be more good looking in that uniform? Tan is definitely your color. Oops... the reason its taken me minutes to post is I was staring at the -guy in uniform-. Stops me in my tracks every time.

What up with this trebuchet deal? (medieval device for throwing rocks) ...catapult humans from zero to 55 feet in the air in 1.9 seconds. That is this guys sport... umm kay.. So what, he is sitting around one day in his underwear, drinking a beer and says -I am going to make this thing and hurl myself violently thru the air. There you go the birth of another sport- Extreme Trebuchet. About BASE, I think the article points out legal or organized jumps - Venues: Organized U.S. events include West Virginia Bridge Day, the world's longest span bridge; Utah's Tombstone Challenge, a 390-foot cliff; and The Snake River BASE Games, Idaho, the 450-foot Perrine Bridge. The highest jump was from Malaysia's 1,381-foot Petronas twin towers. Individuals are "encouraged" to get their own insurance. Street Luging - Wasnt that on on Jackass but the guy was in a bathtub.? ~AirAnn~

You are exactly right Quade. Especially in May of 86? was it. Texas' own Beck Weathers, wow how about that one and how they reconstructed his nose. Damn. Amazing that he stumbled back from beyond deaths door. There are 2 or 3 snowboarders on Everest right now that are going to snowboard down. I have been watching their progress. It is the OFF season. Its now the monsoon season. The guys are from Wyoming. I am somewhat concerned about their lives first and their test of acclimation. They are going to skip staying at, I forgot, C3 I think. Id look it up for ya, but I am in a hurry. Check this http://www.mounteverest.net/story/stories/HighspeedandlighttechforEverestSnowboardersJul142003.shtml and then then Stephen has his own website with updates. The last at 7-25-03. Again, the season is over in May!!! His link is on this page. I saw this guy on Conan, and his family has already lost one son from alvalance. He is also afraid of heights. I am an Everest follower. I dont know why. I cant even climb out of the only ditch on the dz. I like to read, and this topic is more interesting than to me than any other sport. The human spirit never ceases to amaze me. They are talking about Paragliding off K2. http://www.mounteverest.net/story/stories/ParaglidingK2Jul112003.shtml Dang... ~AirAnn~

Lookit Ma, proof skydiving isnt all that bad..... Worlds Most Dangerous Sports- Forbes Magazine- (significantly shortened from 11 pages) Defining the world's most dangerous sport remains a tricky subject, mainly due to limited data: Unsurprisingly, organizers and participants are loath to publicize deaths. Existing information produces curious results. In the U.K., for example, angling kills more people each year than any other sport. (Fishing) Most recently Harry Kirke adapted the trebuchet, a medieval device for throwing rocks, to catapult humans from zero to 55 feet in the air in 1.9 seconds. By taking things to extremes, he says, it puts the rest of life into perspective. As Einstein would say, it's all relative. Organizations and sponsors such as Red Bull, the energy drink, have turned formerly counterculture pastimes into moneymaking industries with regular televised events, offering prize money and endorsements. The Billibong Odyssey offers $100,000 for the first surfer to ride a 100-foot wave. But it you are game for one of these sports, remember: Insurance exists for a reason. BASE jumper individuals who hurl themselves with nothing but a parachute from buildings, antenna, span (bridges) or earth (cliffs). Between 5 and 15 people die each year, according to the International PRO BASE Circuit--it is also illegal in many parts of the world, including the U.S., except at organized events. The highest jump was from Malaysia's 1,381-foot Petronas twin towers. Individuals are "encouraged" to get their own insurance. Heli-Skiing Helicoptered to untouched snowy mountains, they leap onto virgin snow and ski down. If an avalanche doesn't kill you, a change of weather might leave you stranded. Even the helicopter ride can be perilous: the former president of Walt Disney died in a helicopter crash during a heli-skiing trip. Scuba diving imitating fish clearly has its drawbacks. The ascent from a dive, if done too fast, can cause decompression illnesses (including the bends), potentially causing failure of the spinal cord, brain and lungs. Not to mention that sharks passing by might be peckish. Cave Diving Hypothermia, getting lost, getting separated from your diving buddy, low visibility, air loss and lighting failure are just some of the hazards in this unusual sport. The NSS defines a successful dive as "one you return from." Unlike open-sea diving, you can't simply come up for air--you'd smash your head. Bull Riding If one of these beasts, weighing up to 1,800 pounds, tramples you, the next ride you take will be in an ambulance--or a hearse. Success is 60% mental and 40% ability. The only question is whether he's talking about the riders or the bulls. Big-wave surfing These waves aren't big, they're ludicrously big. Drowning, by being pulled under by the current, by smashing your head against hidden rocks, or by being whacked by the board on which you were supposed to be elegantly surfing, can be deadly. A surf forecaster points out: "Anyone can try this sport, but the chances are you won't be coming back." Street Luging (1970s) Californian kids practiced an extreme sport virtually before the word had been invented. They hit the road--literally, lying down on their skateboards and "butt-boarding" next to motor vehicles. Short of a collision, the only thing to stop them was their feet. Protective leathers and a helmet are essential--that is, if you don't want to smear yourself all over the road. Mountain Climbing You can twist ankles, sprain muscles, tear ligaments, break bones, injure your back, suffer frostbite or even suffer concussion. And you still have to get back down. BMX While astride a bicycle, BMX--bicycle motocross--in its basic form involves racing, but offshoots include bicycle stunts, vertical ramp and flatland. The ultimate goal? "To do a trick no one has done before," with, of course, attractive war wounds to show for it at the end. White Water Rafting Surrounded by untamed rapids, participants hurtle towards...well, possibilities include smashing into rocks, being tossed out and drowning. If you fall out of the boat, foot entrapment could ensnare you, making it impossible to dislodge yourself for quite some time. http://www.forbes.com/2002/08/07/0807sport.html ~AirAnn~

TG is right. Hooknswoop has rules and regulations. (when he drinks himself, at least) ~AirAnn~

***The one time I made it to spaceland you weren't there. There is a question if I would have been there if I had been there. However, was I supposed to be there? Dang, I am sorry I wasnt there to be not there. ~AirAnn~

I am very sorry to hear about your situation. Indeed I am familiar with the periodic downside of life. Some say, the bad makes the good look a lot better. (?) Helloooo, What ever happened to VIDEO??? About this back on the drop zone tour thing, if you make it past Peanut in one piece, come on down yankee. You are always welcome.
