I agree, it was really cool listening to him speak about his experience and show the footage of the landing...I especially liked the part where the one guy (Chris?) said there was 2:1 odds that he wouldn't jump... ~R+R... edited because I can't spell ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

While this made me laugh out loud, I have to admit I don't understand what negative connotation there is associated with "cheese-eating." I love cheese. Cheese is wonderful and delicious. (Well, it's wonderful because it's delicious --- I don't suppose it would be very wonderful except for being delicious...) How about, "whiny, wine-swilling, surrender monkey"? "Whiny, baguette-on-a-bicycle carrying, surrender monkey"? "Whiny, refusing-to-help-international-coalitions, surrender monkey"? Just a few suggestions. - ROFLAO!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that is good stuff...::mentally puts them away for future use::......However, I am a big fan of monkeys...especially spider monkeys...So...in that case...not being too big of a fan of sloths...here is my meager contribution... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

ROFLAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LoL...that sounds about right...... I agree and very well put...... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

My thought exactly...All the money being "saved" by instituting a "system" will only be funneled through different channels...still a loss...either way...... Neither are oneliners, so what's your point? ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

I know someone who owes pimp fees...... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Honey, I have been there and done that...I had a terrible landing and promptly performed a tib/fib with a little dislocation in for variety. Trust me, bones will heal, physical therapy will be work, and you will be back up and jumping in no time! Stay cool and don't get bummed, I know how you feel and that the down time will suck, but learn from mistakes and ::hugs, kisses, and vibes::. SMILE! You will heal faster if you do! ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

My ex always hated it when I waved off... Too bad we routinely had mals. That's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFLAO!!!!!! Wave off huh...hmmmmm.... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Hell, that's cheap...I bought a Gary Fisher for $650.00 two years ago...I love that bike... Good god...I have ADD...... ~R+R...What was I talking about again? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Ok, the last couple of weeks have been particularly trying, however, I have been privileged to have these rare moments where everything seems right in the world and I feel truly happy. Well, a "certain individual" gave me a bright shining moment last night when I was feeling pretty low, by making me giggle so hard I had tears in my eyes. He informed me of his bright shining moment of the day, where he received a gift certificate for a job well done!! (MEGA APPLAUSE TO YOU!) It seems like everyday I have a bright shining moment. Anyway, I was curious, do other people out there in DZ.comland have these bright shining moments where even when the weight of the world is upon your shoulders you feel like everything is ok?

Hey people this is going to be a really cool weekend!!!!!!!!!!! So come on out and have some fun...oh, and visit the pro-shop...... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

When you said that you worked in a petting zoo I didn't realise that was what you meant! OMG...LoL...that made me laugh my ass off...and I will definitely have to tell the zoo keepers this one...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I don't work in a petting zoo, well, that is unless you think a mountain lion, a black and white tegu, and a cougar are good pets you want to well, "pet." ~R+R...Ruffed lemurs make scary noises when they are startled...... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Ditto:...zero : zip : nada... ~R+R...::bitch, moan, and whine::...Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! edited to add:...Five more days... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

So you must be sad... ~R+R...Might I remind you that today is Memorial Day, and yes, I shaked an elderly gentleman's hand today who was in uniform and thanked him for the hard work and sacrifices he made for this country...Have you ever heard the phrase, if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say anything at all? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

I have one phrase for you..."Ignorance is bliss"... ~R+R..Enjoy your bliss...... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Ok, I heard another one yesterday...: To the "Boys of Summer" song...: "Your bras get shattered in the sun..." I thought that one was particularly funny!! ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Thank you!! And a Happy Memorial Day to you too...... I have to admit, that was one of the best posts that I have ever read...thanks again...

I agree, my mom would listen to Chicago when I was younger, and so I love a few of their songs...Cetera made them sound unique. ~R+R...Of course, my mom used to listen to Queen, I guess that's why I get "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Under Pressure" stuck in my head all the time...... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

To tell you the truth, I am shocked...I have never heard a male openly admit to liking a Neil Diamond song...You have earned mucho respect...... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

I feel your pain...except, I worked a 7 hour shift with little kids poking and prodding me...and some rather unsavory parents letting them do so......Hope your kiddie gets better soon!!!

Ok, well, since you want to hear a story, this isn't funny, but I thought it was when I was younger... When I first moved to Indiana, there was this place on the corner not far from where I lived that was called...Yonuts....I am not joking people. Anyway, my family and I went to "Yonuts" to get some doughnuts, and some frozen yogurt, because that is where they get that delightful name...Frozen YOgurt and DoughNUTS. My mom wanted some frozen yogurt and we were immediately informed that not only did they recently stop serving certain flavors of frozen yogurt, but that they were eventually going to stop serving frozen yogurt period. Well, my family raised the question about whether the name should be changed to NUTS...and from the reaction, it seems that the employees had gotten that question and solution more than once. Several years later, Yonuts went out of business, but for some reason the sign would turn on partially, only the YO part worked after a few years and for the longest time, everyone would say, "Look, Yo 'nuts is broken!" It's one of those, cheesy but true stories...... ~R+R......it's so bad its funny... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
