bad? Thats quality entertainment right there - you've never laughed so hard in your life right? Lots of folks think its real quality: http://www.dailynexus.com/artsweek/2001/1020.html Jen Arianna Frances

make me Jen Arianna Frances

Some friends he had too - they just left him in a heap like trash Arianna Frances

Its the 'cutaway' story line doll Did you see it? Its too danm funny Jen Arianna Frances

ok... coworkers are looking at me funny cause I can't stop laughing Jen Arianna Frances

I didn't learn PLFs in my FJC either - thought it was strange cause I had spent so much time going over it the year before in another FJC I had taken. Even Scott Miller goes over it in his canopy course... I don't prepare for PLFs very well when coming in to land... I suppose I should re-evaluate that huh? Jen Arianna Frances

LOL I bust out laughing on that one! "Dude, its gonna pop off your head! I lost mine that way, you still have some time to get it in free fall though!" Ya, my brother is not looking at me the same way now Jen Arianna Frances

OMG - I was so totally into Dark Angel! They had to go and screw it up in the second season. But Jess Alba totally kicked major ass! I actually got turned onto Alias on account of a fan site for Dark Angel. As far as who is cooler... Jennifer Garner's character, cause no only does she kick ass but she does it in blue latex tube dresses and 3" stillettos. Jen Arianna Frances

Ya, but I was waiting for Michael Vartans character to fall out of his rig - he didn't even have the slack taken up... anywhere... I wonder if the military rigs really have the cutaway pillow above the chest strap though? I though it looked a little high They had a pretty good track going on... can't wait 'til next week Not the first time they've had parachuting on the show, they usually do a pretty good job with it. The writers have been seriously lacking this season though - there have been quite a few times my brother and I (we watch on his big screen) just bust out laughing at how totally unbelievable it is. "Look out for the sloan clone" Seriously, couldn't they have done better with names? Jen Arianna Frances

ha! Try moving to an isolated island then - this is America, land of the "take your money and you have very little say in it" Very few things will affect peoples quality of life than weight management. We might be living longer, but at the current rate those remaining years will be horrible due to the lifetime of flab and sugar. Jen Arianna Frances

http://lionvs40midgets.tripod.com/ I think its pretty funny Jen Arianna Frances

Very true. I remember reading a study that said that just by switching to diet cola you would lose 23 lbs. in one year. Thats an amazing amount of sugar The biggest learning curve for me was processed flour products. I couldn't have any type of 'bread' for 7 months (it was already in the shakes I was using) - now I know that I can do without them. Learning has been the biggest step for me. Now I just need to learn to start liking the way I look now that I'm healthy, which will never happen Jen Arianna Frances

And how does your tax dollars affect that? If your talking about governement funded social programs - trust me, if your money wasn't spent that way they would surely find other ways to spend it - you'll never get that money back so it might as well be spent on something that can benefit the most amount of people... and based on this current 'epidemic', it'll help lots of people if spent on weight control/management strategies. Jen Arianna Frances

What are you talking about?? Arianna Frances

yep, you just summed up what I was going to say! Thats exactly the problem! My mom crushed a vertebrae in her back a few years back - spent 14 months in bed. She put on weight and was very frustrated by it - don't blame her! She asked the doctor what she should do, and he told her to stay in bed In reality she should have seen a nutritionist at the least. Who are we supposed to believe? One source says Atkins is good - another says its bad. One says weight watchers is great, yet it never worked for me. I asked my doctor what I can do - eat less. duh! Standardization would help - but our capatalistic society is not condusive to that... Jen Arianna Frances

Yep - same with prunes and raisins. I wish they made this stuff more available to people - I had to do 4 years of diet programs to learn most of the stuff that will help me keep this weight off... it shouldn't be like that. Jen Arianna Frances

It's not that black & white. When I turned 20 I was told by doctors that I couldn't do any form of exercise for the rest of my life. Needless to say I put on some weight - the reason? I continued to eat as I usually did minus the gym part of it. I didn't necessarily put two and two together. So after gaining weight I joined weight watchers where they have to count points. I became obsessed with the supermarket - where it got worse. Butterscotch... with a HUGE "fat free!" label on it. Must be good if its fat free right? HELLLOOOO???!! It's 100% sugar! it has no fat! But people will buy it thinking its better for them than something else - cause it says fat free... Thats where more education comes into play. I'm still trying to learn the affects of sugars (in all its forms) on the body. Think fruit is good for you? Think again. There is so much hidden in foods that people never know - clever packaging and the like. It's a scary world out there when it comes to foods. Fat free or sugar free items are not helping at all - if anything they are causing people to gain even more weight. But they're still trying, they're buying something fat free after all. Jen Arianna Frances

Just be sure you know that they're doing nothing about it before passing judgement. Education is the only tool that will help people lose weight. Its getting better, now we only need to get people to listen. Jen Arianna Frances

I agree After losing 75 lbs. people talk to me now... it's truely pathetic I'm the same person... only a size 8. What was wrong with me when I was a size 20? If anything losing all that weight made me more self conscious because I've seen the way people react to me now. I plan my time at the gym for when no one else is there I can't stand it when I see an overweight person at the gym being the topic of discussion for some twiggy blonde bimbo. WTF? Do you know the kind of self humiliation that person had to go through in order to get themselves to go to the gym and subject themselves to your shit talking? No, you don't - chances are pretty good you've never been overweight and your life is just so f'ing cheery. So just STFU I'm not a religous person, but I hope everyone that is so judgemental of the overweight get their 'judgement day' during a time when they can take it all back. Jen Arianna Frances

I did my AFF at Sebastian this past winter. I was also back to visit a few weeks ago. You will find your jumps during the week are limited due to the time of year. Not many people visit during the summer (its nice at home now), so loads do not get up as frequently. You may find your ready to jump but there are not enough people to get a load up. When I was there the first part of April if the group I was with wasn't there they wouldn't have gotten anything up I seriously hope this isn't the case for you. I enjoyed my time at Sebastian and was able to finish AFF in just a few days - I hope you'll be able to do that too. Say 'Hi!' to Rob and rigger Dave for me Good luck! Jen Arianna Frances

I had to really think about this. It was probably about 4 months after we moved in together... about a year after we 'met' in a chat room. I'm such a different person now, thanks in no small part to him - he stuck through stuff no other guy would, not even my family ... I'm very very very lucky. Jen Arianna Frances

Just glance through the forum, there's only about 20-gazillion people Arianna Frances

Just finished my degree - no loans. Took 6 years to get it because I worked full time, but my work paid for all of my courses and books. And its SO danm good to be done!!! Jen Arianna Frances

um ya.... what time tonight? Jen Arianna Frances

hmmmm Jen Arianna Frances
