U2 "Elevation" and Staind "So far away" are my favs.

LOVE that car!! Yours? Or like me, do you pass one on the road and think "damn I want one of those!!"

Awww, yes you do, if you'd like one!!!

Hehee, actually, that's my stuffed elephant who happens to be outta whack in the pic. They say they bring good luck. I have a few, in my apartment waiting for the good luck to come!! Yes, occasionally she lets me sleep there. Edited to add, yes she thinks she is the queen, that's for sure

The spoiled one. She's my sunshine!

That's exactly how I respond to people. Yes, I eat alot, I just choose to eat healthy foods. Usually, the people who say those things are the people whos diets consist of Mcdonald's five nights a week. It gets quite irritating when someone says...oh geez you're so skinny. Have you lost weight? How would they feel if you were to ask them if they've gained weight?? It is insulting.

Thanks for the feedback guys!! Even though I've been having some $$ problems, I think the extra cash is worth it to me. Can't wait to play in the sky again with y'all!!

Thanks! I so look forward to it every single day!

I have not jumped since June, due to personal and financial reasons. I will probably not be able to get back in the air until May. I have my A. What will I need to do with almost a year out? I think I may want to do a tandem before my refresher. Does that make me a wimp?

Sorry, Slappie, I didn't think I was being graded on my post!

thanks to all for the responses. I have learned my lesson!! Deny......deny!!! Esp. to the government!!! I wasn't raised in a convent, I just trust people too much, I guess. I like to believe what I'm told by people to be the truth. I'm sure the test will come out fine. It's just that I've been through alot since October and I thought the worst was behind me. Hopefully after tomorrow, it will be!!

Just wanted to post how I got myself into this mess to begin with, as I am SOO very upset about this. On October 19th '03, I lost my license for a drunk driving offense (in NO way am I condoning my behaviour that evening, it was wrong, I have learned my lesson and after everything I have gone through since, I can say I will NEVER drive after drinking again!!) So, the state of NJ requires you to attend "classes", two consecutive evenings as part of your conviction. The first night, they handed out a little questionaire telling us it is just a way for them to get to understand our individual situations. In the questions, they asked things like.....Do you engage in risky or dangerous activities just for fun?? Well, I love throwing myself out of airplanes at 13,000ft, so I answered yes. They also asked...Have you ever spent a good amount of time getting over the effects of drugs/alcohol. Well, of course I answered yes!! Who has ever drank and NOT had a hangover and spent the next day in sweat pants, eating greasy food???? Then finally, I admitted to smoking a little a New Years Eve party. AFTER these were handed in, they tell us all depending on your score, you may be referred to a program to help w/you addiction. WTF!!! I found it very decietful (sp?) Entrapment I call it. NOW....85% of the people there drove THEMSELVES and went to the instructors and asked if it was safe for them to park in their lot...again WTF, we were all there because we lost our damned DL. NOTHING happened to these people..NOTHING. I turned my tags in to DMV and my car has been sitting in my parents f'n back yard since OCT, now beacuse of this, I have to go for a "re-evaluation"...pay another $75 and if they put my in this program, it's $25 per week for sixteen weeks. All BULLSH*T if you ask me!!! I've held the same job for 11 1/2 years now, NEVER call out sick, I don't steal from anyone, don't shoot shit in my veins, snort anything up my nose, have done everything this damn state has asked/made me do since the loss of DL and now this!!!! I hardly even drink anymore. It makes me sick to my stomach!! All because I was honest!!! I urge everyone not to drink and drive, not only for the obivious reasons, but because of the other BS that comes with it!!!! AHH..sorry for the rant!! And thanks for listening!!

Thanks for the reply. I paid $24.95 and am saving my receipt. Since I'm not a regular user, I'm hoping it works. I am a little concerned about the ingredients being detectable though. I reguarly drink insane amounts of water and have VERY little body fat, so I'm hoping all this will result in a negative result. I really need this nightmare to be over so I can sleep peaceful again!!!!

Just picked up a bottle for use tomorrow. Was wondering if anyone out there has used it and what their results were??

Okay, I'm so glad I'm in the process of selling all my sh*t to move to Palm Harbor in December. WTF!!! Although, I really do HATE the snow, the cold and all the other nasty stuff that comes with winter. Now I'm wondering WTF to do!!!!!

You're welcome. The only other thing I could really think of, other than a few vodka and tonics would be what Jib already mentioned about the clove oil. Good luck to you!!(with everything)

Hey there. Sorry you're in so much pain!! I've been in the biz for 11 years now. It really sounds like dry socket to me. Did an OS take it out or your general do it?? If an OS did, I'd go to your general Dr and have him check it out. You said you didn't smoke..did they tell you also not to drink through straws? I wouldn't torture yourself w/those teabags. They do nothing for the pain, they only help stop bleeding. Can't remember if you mentioned any antibodics, but that wouldn't hurt a bit. Hope you get to feeling better. You guys down there have enough to worry about!!

Thanks for posting this!!! I signed three times!! One for my mom, my aunt AND my sister!!! All are survivors and my heros. Now I'll go back and sign for myself in hopes for a cure before it's my turn

Thanks joeybob!! It's good to know that it's an hour drive from Orlando. Hopefully, I can get a little closer to the coast since I'm looking to having my toes in the sand as often as I can!!! Best of luck to you in your AFF!!!! Have fun, stay safe!!!

Thanks so much Cora for the info!! Maybe I'll see ya in July!!

I'm wondering if there is anyone in the Zephyrhills area who could help me. I am seriously thinking of making the move to Florida...SOOO tired of the winters here in New Jersey. I've heard so many great things about Z Hills, I'm thinking that may be the area for me to look into. I'm trying to plan a trip for July to check out the surrounding areas of Z Hills. I have a ton of questions. I'm guessing I should start off by getting a newspaper subscription to check the job situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

Agree 110% with what she said!!

This was a great idea for a post!!!! I can't believe I'm gonna post this but is wasn't until maybe two years ago I learned that Stevie Nicks song.."White Winged Dove" WASN'T "One Winged Dove". One of those 70's show round table moments...feeling good, singing my heart out and having my two best friends practically pee themselves!!! T'was hilarious!!!!

I hope I don't get too much crap for this but....may I ask what a step through is???

I do own one .....because I am a SWF and live alone. I grew up in farm town South Jersey and my dad started taking me shooting when I was ten years old. I'm a pretty good shot I just got my own this past Christmas. Besides all you guys here, none of my friends know. I don't want to freak anyone out. I know and respect my gun. I would never, ever want to take someone's life. I am a very peaceful person!!!!!! But I'll say this, if someone was to break in and try to take my life...I feel better knowing I have the resources to protect myself. ...edited cause I can't spell!!!!!
