Mandy, Hon, you aren't a freak. Everyone areound you is! Hugs hon, how are you? As you can see I'm into ranting today! -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Wendy, JT is a hunk. When we first met it was mid summer in GA. Imagine what he was wearing. YUM -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Bump because I need a smile; It is good that I am a teacher even if I am "Ms. Fuckin'Brain Wizard to some, most of my kids appreciate the fact that I do care about them and strive to guide them in the generally right direction. It is good that I have Wendy as my company here in this distinguished group. It is good that I can share struggles with my friends (you know who you are) and see warts and all in myself and others, but still love you. OK, I feel better now. OH, yeah, it is really good that Sat is supposed to be nice weather here. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Guess that makes me a dumb fuck (borrowing Rhino's phrase for NASA people). -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

I chose to be a teacher not for what I get paid or don't get paid. Trust me GA does not pay the highest of any stant in hardly anything. I teach for several reasons: 1. I actually enjoy what I do 2. I am good at what I do 3. Teaching allows me the freedom to spend time with my girls which is very important to me 4. Teaching allows me to show my kids there are options and choices in life. There is one child (African American from a single parent home) that I taught in 4th grade who is now here at the middle school. His mother is in Kuwait and he has not seen her in several months, nor does he expect to. He comes to me every day for a hug and a kind word. I was the one who looked at his report card and praised and encouraged him. All this to say don't knock a teacher until you have walked a mile in my shoes, and saying that all teachers are lefties is like saying all skydivers are freaks, or all cops are crooked. Sorry, I guess I'm really into ranting today. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Trust me Chuckie, Billy Bob is NOT invisible so go ahead and post his picture. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Rhino, I honestly believe that if ANYONE at NASA thought for a moment replacement or repair of those tiles could have been made they would have at least attempted it. I really think they would do all that was possible to save the crew, the shuttle and their own livelyhood. I understand your frustration. I'm sure they are frustrated too. The crew are heros but I also feel those who made it possible for the crew to experience the thrill of space flight are heros in their own right and deserve a little credit and respect. Again...ranting. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

If you step back and look at the big picture you will see that NASA does put a lot of thought into emergency and possible repair situations. They are humans just like the rest of us. They can't imagine and forsee every situation. It is not possible. They learn from mistakes just like the rest of us. I'm not going to play the analogy game with you or try to compare apples to oranges because you wouldn't see the big picture anyway. Point is the shuttle and crew has been lost. NASA is now trying to figure out exactly what happened and why. They are hurting just like everyone else because they are human and have feelings too. If they messed up well then so be it they will learn from this mistake. Granted it will be a costly mistake, but we all make them at one time or another in our lives. Attacking the group is not the way to handle the mistake. Even placing blame will not alter what happened. The only hope is to learn for this and move on. Sorry for the rant. Thumper's father in BAMBI had it right when he said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

I think it is beautiful. Like in Michelle's writing I can almost see myself there. Thanks for sharing.

Ever heard the phrase "You snooze, you loose"? -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Great...make sure to sign it so I can say I knew you when!!! I agree that Michelle should just go for it and send something out. She writes beautifully and with such feeling. People are enthralled and mesmerized by her stuff. ( HINT, HINT, girl!) -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Better????? I like the smiles....they were cute. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Congrats Stephen. Don't knock the fact that you were chosen. The fact that you put yourself out there and were picked is an honor. Treat it as such. Want to post a copy for us to read??? -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

You forgot he does quickies -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

The site needed to be down longer for that...trust me. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Video would be good. Lew would love us for it. BTW..Boobiecootie...you are disqualified. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Did that the day my divorce was final. I have everything laid out all legal like for each of my girls. They each inherit a portion of what I have at 18, 25, and 30. It will remain in trust with an executor until that time. College is taken care of with stipulations for funds requests from either child for various other needs/wants. (They can each purchase an AFF program and new gear if they wish to take up jumping.) I agree that you need to do this all legal like now. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Deucie Baby I have been here ALL day. All you have to do is talk to me. Bets, we should have them audtion for the honor. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

We should be able to whip you into shape in no time. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

God Speed to the crew. That had to have been hard realizing what was happening but not being about to do anything about it. Think about how long 20-30 seconds was on your first skydive. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Bytch, B^2 and I will need a Jello Shot Bitch Boy in Perris then you can practice your skills. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

You didn't miss it Ferdi....you just didn't notice it either so it must not have been as good for you as it was for HH. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

You tell 'em sister. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Thanks for the invite...quickies are not really my thing. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Best I've ever had! You ROCK bossman. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.
