Tinkerbelle

OK wizeguy... so what would be the proper forum in which to post a "in search of missing skydiver" post? No, he's a lovely gentleman! I just need a new military ID, that's all! Tinkerbelle D 272 Rehab is for quitters.

So does anyone have any ideas how to find someone (especially a skydiver) these days without having to pay money with a credit card through a people search? Is there a free way? Frustrated Tink Rehab is for quitters.

Hi Kids... It's Tinkerbelle!!!! I'M BACK! I am urgently looking for a fellow skydiver named Sargent Peter Martin. He was last seen on the Screaming Eagles Parachute Demo Team at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. He is originally from Greensboro, North Carolina. The military is so strange and disorganized, they can't even tell me if he is even in the service any more,.... so I have come home to our own skydiving family in search of anyone who might know who he is and where I might find him. Thanks Tink D 272 Rehab is for quitters.

Those are absolutely beautiful peoms. I copied them both down and will include them with my tribute to my Daddy who just passed away. I am building a memorial garden for him up here in the mountains. Can I share a Twilight Zone moment with you guys? It was something my deceased fiancee and I encountered on a tumbstone out in the bushes in the middle of nowhere near Haines, Alaska? It was really eerie. I will never forget what it said! We took a rubbing of it. I kind of get a bit spooked that it was my Shawny who made the rubbing, and he passed on just one year later... If this bothers anyone please forgive me. I just think it's interesting. The date on the crumbling tubstone was in the late 1700s. It went like this: Think of me, as you pass by, As you are now, so once was I As I am now, soon you will be (So) Prepare for death, and follow me. I forgot the name if there was one Eerie isn't it?! I wonder who wrote it and why? My Shawny and I wanted to find a cave up in Alaska somewhere to put ourselves and all of our belongings like a time capsule. We wanted to be mummified too, so someone in the future would find us like they did the Ice Man. Unfortunately though my Shawny was killed in a King Air crash in Hawaii in '99, in which the plane went down in a couple hundred foot chasm just about 500 feet or less off the shore right in front of our house. The dolphins lead us to the plane, leaping and spinning at the crash site! With the assistance of a side scan sonar, a couple Navy Seal jumpers, and a jumper from Maui with a helicopter, they were able to raise the wreckage, but there was no Shawn to be found. There is a song by Sarah McGlauphlin which is very approprite about being raised from the wreckage. All of her songs, which were Shawn's favorite in life, all sound as if he is speaking through them to me from the other side, after his death. All that was found of Shawn was one of his shoes which a fisherman retrieved from the Ocean. Metaphorically speaking, at least I was able to salvage his sole/soul! I still like to think that he was knocked unconscious and just lost his memory, and is living somewhere in the islands, unaware of his past. Hey we can always wish for the best, even in the worse of situations. I released a couple dolphin balloons from the crash site, which wound around each other, up, and out past Kaiena Point. In old Hawaiian folklore, they used to imagine that souls left the islands by way of Kaiena Point, so they would take their deceased loved ones and throw them off the cliff there, and out into the Ocean where the swift current swept them out to Sea. He couldn't have had a more appropriate departure, although unfortuately it just happened about 50 years and several children too soon! I can empathize quite well with all those who have lost a loved one. I have lost too many already! I feel your pain, and send everyone who has lost anyone all of my love!

You know you're right! I just can't seem to win in this forum. I perceive a bit of a clique here, much like those I endured at the all girls' schools I went to all through Jr. high and high school, in which I do not feel very welcome. I just get so bored living up in the mountains all alone I do tend to talk too much, and bear my soul all too honestly and openly. This is not the place to do that, for there are too many critics who love to shred people on this forum. Guess I'd better just stick to talking to my cats. They aren't quite as judgemental. I am not feeling the love here. And in the words of the late, great Roger Nelson, can't we all just "Share the Love!"? Can I get a hug here before y'all make me cry? Tink

My former SO is dead! So it wouldn't be fair to, so I try not to compare the living and the dead. Tink Rehab is for quitters.

I lived in Seattle, Washington for a while with my fiancee, Shawn Gloyer, where we had a great big house on Queen Anne hill, which Shawn used to tell me he called up the city to change the name just for me. Talk about bad weather days though! Nearly every morning you looked out the wondow to a gray day. I think you can count the sunny days on 2 hands, just about! I have no idea how the DZs there like Kapowsin and Snohomish can even stay afloat, and how the Farringtons, like Andy and Keri and Jessy and Joeff get in enough jumps to be so good?! Kapowsin is absolutely gorgrous though with Mt. Raindeer in the backbround, Also 4 months ain't nothing for those who get so screwed up they can't ever jump again! Count your blessings you are not permanently screwed up, which has more consequences on the spirit than just not being able to jump. It is devastating! It almost seems better to have died in an accident than to have come out of it severely maimed, unable to pursue your dreams any more. ever! You will be better. There will always be another jump for you, if not sooner, definitely later! So keep your chin up. You in not in the worst case situation by far! Tink Rehab is for quitters.

The kitty I am kitty sitting has issues. He was taken away from his Mommy too soon, so he sucks on his own nipples with a vengence! Perhaps that is the case with some of the men I have met as well... Perhaps they were just taken away from their Mommies too soon! Kitty also has an eating disorder! He acts like he is perpetually starving, and eats everything in sight! Weirdest kitty I ever met!

I want to be adopted! Adopt me! I am cute and cuddly, house trained, and I purr if you rub my back! Tink Rehab is for quitters.

Don't know about that one, but I have a T-shirt: "Runs with scissors". Rehab is for quitters.

Anything glass is bad 'cause it scatters when it shatters, so you can never find all the shards 'till long after when you step on one. The only thing worse than a carpeted kitchen is a carpeted bathroom in a guy's house! I've seen one of those, yuck! The behind the toilet scene gets really gross! I always insist the men who visit my house sit down to pee! Tink Rehab is for quitters.

OK, I get it, you dirty, dirty boys! Go wash your hands off! You know you'll grow hair on your hands and go blind if you do that too much! Tink Rehab is for quitters.

Who is this Dominique from Perris? Do you know the big Dominique guy who wears the yellow jump suit? He was helping Ben Conatser out with his fabrication & building of the Camel, old WW1 airplane! Do you know the guy who lives in the trailer behind the hanger? It is all rustic, no electricity, just propane stove, and lanterns, even his refrigerator is run on gas, as is his hot water heater for his shower. Totally cool! Please say "HI" to him from Annie. If you haven't seen it yet, you really ought to go check it out, quite impressive! Tink Rehab is for quitters.

How did you manage to capture the lightninging? I have seen some awesome phtographic displays of the bolts. but could never figure out how they caught the moment?! Florida is great for lightninging storms, one of the reasons I love that place! Seeing it from the air between clouds is really cool! We California people don't get to see it that much! One time when I was working as a commercial diver we had a lightninging storm, and couldn't decide whether or not to go in the water. We feared if we were holding onto metal parts under a boat, if the boat got struck, it would blow our fingers off! Some silly girls flew a kite on the beach during that storm. They got struckand ended up in the hospital! Guess they weren't paying attention during class when they talked about Ben Franklin! Duh! Rehab is for quitters.

You didn't catch anything like goose bumps did ya? Rehab is for quitters.

If anyone has any advice concerning what to do about a verbally abusive relationship, could you please either PM me or write to me at annbrolly@earthlink.net. Thanks! Tinkerbelle

PUBLIC APOLOGY: I need to make a point. I recently made a post about verbal and physical abuse. Granted I am experiencing that in my life in a big way, and need some input with regard to that issue, and how to make it stop, so I can preserve the relationship that is otherwise so valuable to me. But I am not pointing any fingers at anyone in particular, and definitely no one whom anyone knows personally! I am very upset that a number of people went running to my SO to tell him I was saying nasty stuff about him. I just want to clear the air for anyone who might have gotten that misperception. I was talking in general about an entirely different relationship. My SO, the one in the picture with me, is the sweetest, kindest, gentlest, most giving, thoughtful human being on this and every other planet. So for all you people who went running to him to tar and feather me, and try to destroy our union, for whatever reason, could you please now go run back to him and tell him that you were mistaken to have done that, and that I love him more than anything in this Universe and the next, and I would never say anything mean or hurtful about him, ever! He means the World to me! Instead he is the one about whom I wrote an entire thread about having a crush on. Let it be known to the World that I am deeply in love with my SO, and I wish his friends could appreciate that and support us, and be happy for us. I am sorry if anyone got the wrong impression from my post. Thanks for your consideration! Tinkerbelle

what attachment? And what point did I miss? Fill me in! Tinkerbelle Rehab is for quitters.

I would say the best way to kill a kitten is to hold it really tight and hurl yourself off of a 20 story building. 'Cause anyone who would even consider killing a kitty doesn't deserve to live themselved! How dare anyone even consider such a horrific crime! Kitties are the most precious creatures alive. I swear if I didn't have my kitties to keep me company, I would go crazy for sure! My little kitty who my sister named "P" so I call him "P Kitty Ditty" or "Scuby Dooby Kitty" is like a puppy dog. He follows me around everywhere. Even when I am feeling bad and stay in bed all day, he never leaves my side. He kissed me and loves on me all day, every day. I would go crazy without him. He is half Siamese and half Persian, the cutest creature ever to walk this planet besides my SO, Carl Daugherty, who I love with all my heart! My "P" kitty looks much like an owl, with the biggest blue eyes and an acorn shaped face. Apparently he won't get very big, so he's much more delicate than my other kitties. He is my absolute best friend, since he, unlike other people, is not the least bit judgemental. If I could, I'd marry my kitty, but I would never be into the sex thing, that would be just very wrong! I love kitties. Anyone who would consider killing a kitty doesn't deserve to live themselves! Kitty Lover Tinkerbelle Rehab is for quitters.

Yeah, whenever I start playing the "oh poor me" game with myself. I just think about my sweetie Shawn. Had he just pulled up on that darned stick (wheel) he would be alive today. Also, a great source of inspiration is Christopher Reeve. Whenever I think things just couldn't get any worse, and I start flogging myself for the mistakes I made that lead to my injury, and they were operator error, I just think of how many times that guy has dwelled on why he got on that damned horse in the first place. He may be better off financially than the rest of us, so thus better able to get and pay for the medical attention he needs, but still, he is in really bad shape, much worse than just a broken heel that will heal. I'm surprised I haven't heard any heal puns as yet. Also, when Shawn died, soon after JFK JR. died in a plane crash. I hate to admitt it, but that did make me feel less alone to have the whole World grieving so publically the loss of a loved in a similar way. It helped make me feel better and less alone to imagine they were all grieving the loss of Shawn. My Daddy just died too in October. And somehow this Reagan death has helped in that respect too. I have told my Mother to pretend all the grieving Nationally is for my Father. It helps to know that you are not alone, and that others are suffering similar heart breaks. So keep your head up and think how lucky you relative to all those other people. In that context, 3 or 4 months is nothing! You can do that standing on your head! Tink

I was and still am in love with a jump pilot, named Shawn Gloyer! He's dead now, but he still rules too! He also flew tourists in Otters down there, same place for a long time. He even had to wear a cute little white shirt with captain's epaulets. How life does go in cycles doesn't it! Tinkerbelle Rehab is for quitters.

Gosh, you people made me cry. I was just trying to share a little from my own experience. I even offered to send her flowers if I had the money to. I am just lonely since I broke my neck, and can't jump like I used to, so I am sorry that I do get a little out of hand writing so much. I just can't do much of anything else but write, laying in bed. Vanillaskygirl is lucky. She will be up and back in the game in a couple months. That's great! Some of us aren't so lucky, and it hurts. Please forgive me. I meant no harm! Tink Rehab is for quitters.

Ah, baw hum bug! I have given Vanillaskygirl plenty of hugs and kisses and encouragement to make her feel better! You obviously didn't read the rest of my posts to her here! Here, I will give her some more.... huuuuuggggg!, squeeeeze! smooooooch! It will all be OK in a couple months! Now, don't be nasty you other feline, OK! You girls get so sensitive sometimes! I just had something to say, so I said it. This is supposed to be the soapbox venue, so I just got on my soap box for a minute. Please forgive me. Didn't mean to detract from the issue at hand! So sorry! Luv-n-stuff Tink Rehab is for quitters.

What is STFU? No question is a stupid question! Tink Rehab is for quitters.
