  1. Three...I'm going to have a hard enough time explaining two cats if he ever figures it out! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  2. Good thing you didn't head off to work or something without seeing her first! It's funny how cats seem to have routines - just like us. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  3. I'm sort of counting on that I'll need something to keep me company when the kids are gone! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  4. Congrats! I had three months off once - broken ankle. So, I can relate to the feeling of coming back after a layoff. Glad to here you're back in the air! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  5. That's what the pediatrician said about my daughter Thankfully, she wasn't peeing on the carpets! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  6. Thanks to everyone that posted. I'm sure it's going to be fun having some new life in our home. My children have wanted this for a long time - they are both cat people and are very excited. They understand about the responsibilities of owning a cat and I think they are old enough to help (7 and 14). As soon as our kitchen construction is complete, I'm going to surprise them with their new pet(s). Thanks again! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  7. I live in Montgomery County, Maryland - and I've been told it's illegal to let your cat roam here. I'm not sure about the declawing - it seems a cruel. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  8. I guess the best thing to do is see what I can find. I'd like to do a rescue thing. Our county has a program For $120, you get a kitten that has been fixed and has all it's shots for a year. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  9. This is what I love about skydiving! People are so incredibly friendly. I think it might be all those happy endorphins we get from jumping. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  10. Maybe I can find identical twin cats and hope my husband doesn't notice. Next question: Male or Female Is one sex better than the other? Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  11. Your zoo sounds fun! My kids would love it there. I feel like I'm already pushing my luck with one. I know the cat will get plenty of attention. Right now, my kids beg me to let them go to the neighbors house so that they can play with the cats - she has four and a new kitten. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  12. My children would like a cat. They've wanted one for almost two years, but my spouse is opposed. I've finally convinced him that he can live through the experience. I would like to get one kitten, but I've heard that they do better if you get two. So, my question: Does anyone just have one cat? Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  13. Frenchy, Thanks for going with us on our seven way and thanks for the kind words about my decision to ground myself due to the wind conditions. Look forward to jumping with you again! Be Safe ~ Sarah Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  14. I'll pass a hug on to Jaime when I see her
  15. West Point is awesome! We were immediately adopted into the group and found ourselves on the first load doing 4 way with some of the West Point regulars. I'd like to thank Jaime for suggesting a trip to West Point and for bringing Norman and Frenchy with her. I'd like to thank Jennifer for coming to West Point - her third drop zone in three days. I'd like to thank the regular gang at West Point ~ Jason, Willow, Carolyn, Jim, Rick, Keith, Rabbit, and everyone else! Hope to come back soon! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  16. Anyone know what time they will start jumping? We are heading down tomorrow and plan to arrive around 8:30 am. Is that too early? Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  17. Very cool! It's great that she is supporting you! I wish I could say the same. I got a lovely water pitcher. When I saw the box, I immediately thought - It's a new helmet! Wrong... Oh, and I got a gift certificate to a spa. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  18. Happy Birthday Nate! Woo hoo! When are you jumping again? Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  19. Nice shot! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  20. Just back from the doctor. They gave her a prescription for Bactrium (sp?), but they said it might not work because they have to do a culture first. So, two days from now she might be on something else. Geesh - this was the first really super scary ordeal with one of my kids. It's amazing how much it takes out of you. I'm exhausted. She and I are going to take a nap now - Thanks again for your support. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  21. Thanks. The doctor was the one that told me to give her the extra Advil. I made sure I gave her food with it. It does concern me that she has to take so much to stay cool. I'll let you all know how things turn out. I'm sure she'll be fine, but I completely freaked out last night. I was afraid to go to sleep last night because I wasn't sure how high she'd get when the Advil wore off. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  22. I put her in the tub immediately and called her doctor. They called me back while she was in the tub cooling off. I thought about calling 911, but my first reaction was to cool her off. I've seen many 103.5s, and I know that it is different for kids, but 106+ scared me. I was sure the thermometer was broken. At the night time place, the doctor we saw was a GP and she was worried about the high fever, but she consulted the pediatrician on duty and she wasn't as alarmed. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  23. This happened last night - I took her to the Night Time Pediatric place that my primary care physician recommended. They told me that she could have a virus and that could be causing the fever. They kept saying that she looks healthy - which she does. They did a throat culture and a urine culture. Negative for strep. The urine showed some blood and some white blood cells. She might have a UTI, but they won't know for a couple of days. I got her fever down by giving her 1.5 times the Advil she should have, but if she isn't taking the Advil it goes back up. We are headed back to the pediatrician now - appointment at 11:00. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
  24. What an ordeal Andrea. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I'm completely exhausted and your post made me cry. I remember as a child looking for our dog, but we couldn't find him anywhere. One of the neighbors called to tell my mom that they find him on the road and moved him off to the side. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
