Why do I see this going to speakers corner? But... if a drunk driver hits you and you die, since you were meant to die at that moment, should the drunk driver really go to prison for merely doing the job fate dictated for him? Or if you are the drunk driver and you die, did you die because fate said it was your time or because you made a stupid decision to drive drunk? If your decisions 'do affect whether you die or not', then how does fate have anything to do with it? If that healthy athlete who died of cancer was a chain smoker (or married to a chain smoker, so second hand smoke), then was it fate or choice that did him in? If you jump out of a plane without a parachute because you honestly forgot to put your rig on (it's happened) rather than intentional suicide, is that fate or choice?

Who on earth told you that about astigmatic contacts??? Yes, they are weighted so that they stay in the correct orientation on your eye, but they are also tapered to fit in such a way that the action of your eyelids keep them lined up the way they are supposed to be more than gravity. Skydiving will not affect this, although you will want good goggles as the air drying your contacts will affect how they sit on your eyes. There are some very good monthly disposable toric contacts that do come in your prescription, I would recommend trying those. Don't give up on the first pair of trials... as docs, we make our best guess on the fit of the lens based on the size/shape of your eye. Math and real life, however, don't always match, which is why during the fitting process you may try anywhere from 1-10 lenses before you find the lens material and Rx that best suits you. There are also RGP bitoric contacts that are made to match your corneal curvature and are not weighted. These may provide even better vision than soft lenses in your case due to the different optics of RGP lenses. Jen Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda

My husband and I both thing Vtines day is stupid. We do nothing for it, however, we both do enjoy Steak and Blowjob Day (modified to Steak and Oral Day

Optometrist, specialized in low vision rehab (I teach people who are visually impaired/legally blind to do whatever it is they want to do). Pay will be good once my student loans are paid off (1 more year!!) Also work on the side as a rigger, packer, and coach. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda

I love that article. An OB/Gyn friend (and jumper) gave me a copy a couple of years ago. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda

So much of freefall communication is eye contact... if other jumpers can't see your eyes, it's a lot harder for them to read you. I don't like other people jumping with sunglasses. I'll still do it, but don't like it. I wouldn't let a student jump with me on a coach jump with sunglasses though. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda

I both bought and sold gear on here... once each. Both were very good transactions... both parties gave the other references so everyone felt comfortable with the large amounts of money and value of gear getting shipped, in both cases to/from different countries.

Very true. And too bad... it would be so much easier if everyone's body chemistry worked the same way so it would be easy to figure out what worked I'm 3 years older than when I lost the weight before, and although I kept it off, just because my system worked then doesn't mean it'll still work now... but it's a starting place.

I don't know how people get through the morning eating breakfast... I have to force myself to eat breakfast when I'm actually trying to lose weight. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda

I do snack on fresh veggies during the day, and since I'm eating regularly, I doubt I'll go into starvation mode. Plus, when I lost all the weight before, I kept Sundays as my 'eat whatever the hell I want to day' just so I wouldn't go into starvation mode. It worked very well.

Patients don't seem to understand that their health is in their control more than their doctors... I was at first adamantly against the drug commercials, until I realized that they were encouraging patients to ask questions and taking control over their own health care instead of just blindly doing whatever the doc says.

What's wrong with coffee? I drink a ton of it, it's part of how I lost my first 80 lbs.... drinking coffee with a little skim milk and a little splenda is almost no calories and made me feel full all the time. I'm just finishing my pot of coffee for the day. Breakfast today was coffee and a large orange. Lunch was Confetti Chicken from Applebees (something like 350 calories for lunch) and more coffee, dinner is leftover ham/potato soup from last night (200 calories/cup, I eat 2 cups and am full). Then late night snack is a 60 calorie smoothie. I already drank over a quart of water. Definitely no starvation going on, I always feel full this way. Hang in there.. you can do it too!

LOL!! You know I'm going to hear the theme from Jaws in my head every time I see him under canopy now, just because of the mental image you just gave me. At least I'm extremely comfortable with my rigger, should I need to use my reserve. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda
