Ahhhhhhh, I see....it's just, I've, well, never, uh, done that before...so don't quite know the protocol. Or the rules. Or the generally accepted things...you know? It's all new to me. I guess I should bring (lots of) beer to this picnic... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Failed me????? Nope, worry not. No forgiveness needed, Sunnyone. You didn't fail...pshaw! Hugs, girl. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Sue... Nope. I've talked with both...and nope... Yessir, "MrBoombostic."... LOLOLOL.. C'mon, kids, I know it's a full moon, and a Monday, but enough of this already, o.k.? It's boring and wastes bandwidth. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

It's also quite illegal... I'll check into some things about CA eviction law and RE law, and see if there isn't a determinant answer floating around somewhere in the vast resources at my office... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Nacmac said it. If it's addressed via pm, then leave it in pm's. Additionally, I have certain views on this subject, and how we help/hurt a situation as skydivers. I haven't yet had enough coffee to have managed to get my tact hat on yet, so I shall refrain from that post for the nonce. I will, however, try to address this a bit later, if this thread is not locked down in the mean time. If anyone is truly interested in addressing the question, and not just rail about how shitty people are, then calm down, and keep the personal shit in pm's...otherwise, like a poster said, it is just coming across as a personal lashing out at another person here. Which is, ultimately, uncalled for, and may not actually be what is intended by the poster. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I always hate taking these tests.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tap Water Michele, you are ordinary. You are not alpine filtered, you do not run for years over rocks, and no beer brags about being made by you. There's no fancy french name for you. Simply put, you drift through the city pipes filled with sludge. You're like a dripping faucet, simply annoying. You have no flavor, no admirers, and no interests. You are plain. You are only good for cooking rice in, and that's only if someone can't afford chicken broth instead. Go away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Welcome home, Max! Good deal on the new jkob - and making it through the training. Now, just go and produce. With 18 appointments coming this week, I think you are off to a rocking start. I wish I could get 18 appointments. For anything. At all.... And get back into the sky where you belong. It's missed you - as have we.

Ditto. And since I've been on these bizarre medications for the hives, I've been itching for a fight... Bring. it. on. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Dancer... You'll get used to bringing your head around, moving your body, adjusting to what you need to do. You will, I promise. The tandem and fist few jumps are literally overwhelming, and it takes a bit of getting used to. But you will. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Geeeeeeeeshhhhhhhh.... What an idiot! I mean, come on - Dan BC's rig??? It's so identifiable. Fucker. Whomever did this, they are a fucker. (and no, that's not a personal attack, that's the truth! Fucker fucker fucker) Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Morning, Slowpoke. Thanks for the considered response - I appreciate your taking my post well and understanding where I am coming from. Not being in either Len's or your shoes, I can only offer an ear and a shoulder; I can only offer support and friendship. I have, and I understand (not agree with, but understand) your commentary. In one perspective, yes, it could be considered unfair that Len posted what he did. But it can also be said that he came to friends, and came to a place for some support, and needs that right now. When you really consider it, how does anyone really know anyone here ever tells the truth or the whole story? When it's considered from that position, of course you will only be getting someone's perspective and as we all know, 6 blind men will describe the same elephant 6 different ways. After a while, there are certain people you learn to take with a grain of salt, you know? Len posted his feelings; and those are real, true for him, and important to him. He also asked for support, which I will always bring to the table... Interesting point, and agreed with somewhat. But why shouldn't one prefer to socialize with likeminded folk? I too get bored quickly with people who always complain about this or that, but then, hey, I do the same...people who bowl, for example, talk to others who bowl. People who golf spend a great deal of time with those who golf. Fishing, hiking, camping, work, etc...people will a) always complain about not being understood, b) will always prefer those who enjoy the same things, and c) can have conflict with others who don't understand. So I am not sure that this is a sport specific issue, and if it is an issue for you, then I suggest you don't indulge in it. Did that make sense? (It's still very early for me

YAYAY for you! Now go jump a lot, and say hi to the sky for me, please! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Dear slow... I think that, having been here a little while, you would've discovered far more about this community than that...considering this is your third post, and the only one I can find on here (I guess the other two were deleted?), I would guess you haven't spent a terrible amount of time understanding what's going on. I am glad you and your significant other have managed something which some people can't, and for that, a hearty congratulations to you both! How about sharing how that conversation went, and what it was like, and how you came up with a solution instead of threatening (to me, at least) to tell the family this post exists? That would be constructive, rather than destructive; helpful rather than detrimental; campassionate rather than critical. Just my thoughts...

Well done, to have eased the soul of a dying man. How great it is to make that connection, at a time in life when it is worst, scariest. Blues, Vernon. And thanks, Lauri. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Wow, Lenny, that's rough. Counseling is a good choice. It may be really hard, but stick with it, even if it feels like you're not getting anywhere. Lots of times, counseling can be confrontive - my parents took it, it didn't keep the marriage together, but made for an easier divorce. So stay with it, confrontive or not; as Layton said, honesty is vital for it to work. We build walls around ourselves because we fear hurt, fear loss. We do what we can to placate ourselves however we can, because we are scared of things not being good enough. You're good enough; she's good enough. And maybe, instead of building your good stuff up together, it's coming apart. The only way to really tell is to be brutally honest with yourself, and with your therapist. If divorce is what comes, then let it come. Don't be too angry, allow it to take it's course, realize you are your own person, before, during and after the divorce. It's your choice, mostly, how you will react to whatever is going on. Find a good, listening friend, and talk it out. There are many here who would listen, myself included. Reach out and talk, should you need to. Grieve, but move toward another goal. I am always wary when I hear it's about skydiving...I don't think it is, in my opinion. It's about something else, some other fear/loss, and cloaks it's self in an easy excuse. For my ex, when sex stopped, he attributed it to I had put on weight. Yes, I had, but the truth is that he was attracted to men...when a person is not honest with the real issue, then excuses come through. And if you listen to your heart, you will know when you're being dishonest, and you will also know when you are being lied to...even if the liar doesn't realize they're lying. And sometimes they don't. Maybe you will be married this time next year, and maybe not. But you will still be you, with all your perfections and imperfections. be true and honest to yourself, and you will manage to come through this. And as I said, there are many who will listen. Many hugs, Lenny. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
