Call her. she'll tell you, she didn't raise no sissy. (she also didn't raise no stupid girl, thus you won't get to twist her to your dark side of the truth)

Her number is 123-555-1234. Go ahead, call her. I aint skered. K.

My mother's not here now. K. (by the way, we're hijacking this thread)

That should count as exercise... at least the making of them should (depending on how "aerobatic" your technique is)

Like you should be talking.... nap boy. K

Could be worse--your doctor could tell you that you need to quit drinking! Walt Quit drinking. Oh and go and get your annual pap smear and mammogram. p.s. congrats on the 6wks. your lungs are much happier.

Umm... just wondering, you two. Looking at your sig lines - how much Orange is there in the bedroon there?

Great Job!! -pm sent Karen

Haha, thats what i was thinking too. When i think of Clay, i think of VD. He's not post-whoring near as much over here as he did while in country.... hmmm... maybe he's more "busy" here. (Welcome back and let me know if you need anything before going back) Karen

I wonder if this is going to make it more difficult to carry your rig on the airplane. How much would that freak out the wuffos to have someone with a rig on messing with the door?

umm.... procrastinate much (just teasing, cuz I'm supposed to be working on a presentation right now too... instead I'm here just relaxing)

My name was always a respectably boring name, even when I was in trouble... which wasn't often But my older sister had trouble pronouncing Karen (like how hard is that really?!) so she called me Kono... and it kinda stuck. At least with family and close friends....

OK... maybe ours are more expensive, but we work harder at trying to please the male of the species .... spending extra money to try to look sexy while still trying hard not to have metal piercing through our ribs and causing nasty and annoying pneumothoraxes.. Seriously though, ours is more expensive because the retail world will support it. Whether it's guys buying us cute little things to take off, or us buying stuff that just makes us feel pretty (oh so pretty.....), our economy will currently allow it. Now if we went into a recession.... don't know how many little tighty whitey packs I would have. (and for the record - you can get womens undergarmets in packs too. My deployment bag only has the sealed Fruit of the Loom packs. All precounted and ready to go..... my supply at home, lets just say that they are the single purchase type.) edit cuz I messed up the silly icons.

You misunderstood me.... I wasn't trying to say that he was looking to start a family and live "happily ever after". I was alluding to the fact that by his qualifing criteria, he was seeming to target certain types of females... for certain types of activities.... Wasn't saying there was anything wrong with that... just that it could lead up to what we were discussing with the "not as far as I know" statements.....

Those questions are only ones that you can answer... and you know that. As a psych major, you should read and understand some of the principles of objectivism and Ayn Rand. After studying that you might begin to believe in some of her theories and then understand.... "I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." — John Galt Atlas Shrugged Whether it's 20, 40, 80 or 100yrs, it's always too short... the important thing is living FULL and being enlivened. Do what it takes to make you happy. For some people, that means spending time with family, doing crafts, playing sports, teaching music, or dancing in the sky.... find out what makes you happy and live for that. Another psych reference from Jonathan Livingston Seagull that can be manipulated to support my argument - You should learn to eat to fly, not fly to eat. Meaning don't spend all the time just doing the basic needs.... strive for a higher level , whatever that takes or means to you. Good Luck. Karen

Well...as far as you know... Ever heard guys say that, "Well, no kids...as far as I know." You almost never hear chicks say that. I've heard statements like that from females.... or they tell you one thing and you get records from somewhere else and it's totally different. I don't understand how you would just forget to mention "oh yeah, I've had a couple before .... and the last one took only about 1/2 hour... " It becomes a challenge sometimes..... But, I think that we may have hijacked his thread on trying to get some hot females that might lead up to what we're talking about.

Welcome Back!!! So, now you have all these cool stories to tell and monies to allow you to be a man of leisure. Was it worth the time without sheep?

He wanted pranks...... not ways to kill them.

Saran wrap over the top of the toilet bowl, but not if you have carpet in the bathroom vaseline or baby oil on door knobs. or some of these: http://www.laststory.com/Driving%20Your%20Roommate%20Spouse%20Parent%20Mad.htm

Good friends listen to your woes and worries.... Best friends help you hide the bodies.... Seriously though - Although I believe the words of John Galt: "I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."; there are definately some that I have met in life (not just on DZ.com or in skydiving) that I would do whatever it took to make their life happy. And there are some that I know without even looking over my shoulder, that I would have in my corner if I ever chose to go and get in a wild ass bar fight. Life is great that way.... if you have great friends. It's not about the money (been broke after my dad's stroke, been comfortable), it's not about jobs, it's not about power (cuz that can change with the winds).... it's about stories with friends. It's too short to look at it any other way. Who would be on my list? Probably quite a few more that they know... the short list would have to be Kramer (although he decided to get himself an admit to the hospital on my birthday and made me come see him instead of him driving to see me) SkymonkeyOne (I've only met him a couple of times - but he's the kind of guy that you just have to respect as a friend, and he was a close friend of one dear to my heart - as such, he would get whatever needed) ChasingBlueSkies (I just like to randomly surprise him with visits- it's fun) Clay (despite the fact that he turned down my offer for some toys to play with while overseas... but that was cuz he was busy thinking about other things at that time.... sheep?) I know there's more, but there's also too many of you that I haven't gotten to meet yet.... but with time. Karen

OK... so it's bad to grab the tandem masters package? Hmmm.... good thing that I didn't do that. Not that the one that I learned with had ANY problems getting girls to willingly strap themselves to him. Whiner

and so you're saying that you don't even want to think about the anal probings? (I'm postcall and way sleep deprived - or just depraved. But that's my excuse)

and after the spankings? WooooHooooo!

I was reading this article and thought - they're full of shit. My generation (I'm mid thirties) took many risks and some of us got away with it, some didn't.... but we just didn't have the internet to publicize our foolishniess. What are your thoughts. Are kids today more risk takers? Experts Say Youngsters Are Trying Riskier Stunts Teens 'Have to Keep Upping the Ante in Order to Get the Same Thrill' By MARTHA IRVINE, AP (July 24) - Two young people have died in Idaho, each suspected of trying to catch a buzz by cutting off the blood supply to their brains. Also in recent weeks, a college student in Kentucky and another youth in Michigan have fallen to their deaths while "surfing" atop moving vehicles. Brian Kersey/AP Photo Risky Behavior: Jennifer Collette says daughter, Amanda, right, played a dangerous "choking game" with a 17-year-old neighbor boy. The "game" burst blood vessels in the girl's eyes and face. Talk About It: · Post Thoughts Dangerous activities like these aren't new, but experts say today's teens are increasingly likely to try them - and to take more risks than previous generations. "It's certainly part of the teenage psyche - but we're seeing an enormous amount of it of late," says Frank Farley, a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia who's been studying risk-takers since the 1960s. The trend not only includes stunts that clearly cross the line of common sense - such as "the choking game" that may have caused the Idaho deaths - but also more calculated risk-taking, such as extreme sports with trick-heavy competitions involving skateboards, snowboards or BMX bikes. "My generation is looking to be different; they're looking for ways to be individuals," says Christopher Sorichetti, a 20-year-old from San Diego who's been doing high-flying bicycle stunts since he was 12. "My sport is almost like a rebel sport. For the guys, it's kind of like a bad boy image. You're popular, pretty much, because you're known as a bad boy." Sorichetti has ruptured a kidney, punctured a lung and broken many ribs doing bike stunts that have gone wrong. And this summer, he broke his right forearm in two places after falling. Still, he plans to get back on his bike when he recovers. "I do it for the feeling of knowing it's dangerous and knowing you can get hurt doing it." -Christopher Sorichetti, who does bicycle stunts "I do it for the feeling of knowing it's dangerous and knowing you can get hurt doing it," Sorichetti says from his hospital bed. "I couldn't see my life without it." It's an attitude that causes many adults to scratch their heads. But experts say that young people today are wearing their wounds as a badge of courage - and constantly looking for ways to outdo one another. "As stuff becomes more common, then the degree that you have to go to be uncommon - to be unique - is a little more extreme," says Dr. Jeffrey Smith, the orthopedic trauma surgeon in San Diego who put Sorichetti's arm back together. Others note that young risk-takers may react the way they do because they've grown up with constant stimulation from video games and TV. "They have become adrenaline junkies," says Dr. Lynne Tan, a psychiatrist at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. "They also have to keep upping the ante in order to get the same thrill because, after a while, the body gets used to the activity." Technology also has given young people the ability to share their stunts with one another by way of the Internet - whether it be their latest skateboarding trick or an outrageous stunt, such as friends pepper-spraying a buddy for a laugh, or even jumping off buildings. "In this wired world, you can link with other people doing these things instantly. And it develops a kind of camaraderie - almost a license to do it," says Farley, the psychologist at Temple. "In an earlier time, we didn't have such instant access to peer validation." "Parents need to be aware of what teenagers are doing so they can talk to their kids." -Jennifer Collette, concerned mother Parents and others can, of course, talk to their kids about avoiding really dangerous stunts - sharing the many instances when car surfing, for example, has turned deadly or resulted in massive head injuries. The choking game, which flares up every so often in various regions across the country, also claims at least a couple of lives a year. "Parents need to be aware of what teenagers are doing so they can talk to their kids," says Jennifer Collette, a mother in Valparaiso, Ind., whose daughter played the choking game with friends at a neighbor's house last December. Her daughter, now 13, didn't pass out, but the choking - done by a 17-year-old boy - caused blood vessels in her eyes and face to burst. "She was pretty scared, and she said she'd never do it again," Collette says. Extreme sports are a trickier call. As the popularity of pro competitions increases, so does the emphasis on safety. Still, a spokesman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Smith in San Diego says he regularly runs across young patients who injure themselves - and who plan to return to a dangerous sport. So he does what he can: He stresses the importance of wearing safety equipment, such as helmets and wrist-guards and hopes for the best. Other physicians agree that this kind of risk-taking can be dangerous - but they point out that, more often, young people die in car accidents or from violence. "Our kids are getting shot," says Dr. Karen Sheehan, a physician at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago who is also the medical director of the Injury Free Coalition for Kids. "They get enough of a thrill trying to make it to school safely." 07-24-05 20:06 EDT

Hey Rosa, I do have mine waxed at the salon. But not cuz I have a unibrow or anything like that. I've just found that of all the possible changes (cut my hair, dye color chages, blah blah blah...) the only thing he routinely notices is when I have my brows shaped. I actually am a touch annoyed at having it done cuz it's a bit sensitive and brings tears to the eyes for a bit.... (it does NOT make me cry). But other hair maintaince can be fun. But you should definately do something to make you feel pretty and sexy before Spencer gets back. (not that you need anything to make you pretty or sexy) Karen
