I think it's funny, 'cause some guy asked me the other day if I was a Floridian and since I've been here since 1985, I HAD to say (yes)!! He laughed!! There are beautiful places indeed, but like you said, the heat is just overwhelming!!

What do you mean??? Florida Redneck is a Culture all its on!! That's right, them big wheel trucks and the gator restling out in the country!!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

There are some pretty sites, sure. However, not much culture other than beaches and the heat (& humidity) SUCKS!!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

Well, shoot... We have an Italian young man volunteering at our office and I would ask him for you but he left about an hour ago. Anywho, I'm sure you'll get some great ideas... How FUN!!!

Well, I'm glad you feel all good again!!! P.S. I really love those curly fries too!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

I'm right there with you Skymama!!!!

Well, I'm still in the same town/county where I went to (through) high school. I'm here only 'cause parents are here!! Don't like it much but after living away for several years I came back about 6 years ago to be near them. Now, of course, I'm just itching to move out -- and so is my SO. We'll see....

Very good honey!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

Good luck to you and happy times enjoying everything else that life has to offer!!!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

OMG!!! How adorable!! Especially number 5 -- what a cutie!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

Although I don't know you, you seem (from your posts) like someone who is kind and has a great heart!!! Glad to hear you have such a great perspective on life and that you appreciate the pure gift that it is!! Good luck to you and good vibes coming your way!!

Well, why don't you have a choice --"undying love for SO"?? And, better yet ..... about the boobies .... NOT if you don't want to get into A LOT of trouble, Mr.!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

Happy Birthday!!

I've thought about this subject a lot since meeting my current SO. I'm saddened by the quickness with which we, as human beings, are so willing to exclude others from our lives. The fact of the matter is that one never really knows where one's true love will come from. I have NEVER been athletic, and specifically never into extreme sports, and although for a short period of time I did consider skydiving, I would have never in a million years imagined that I would fall in love and be with a skydiver!! Although I have three jumps under my belt, I very much consider myself a WHUFFO b/c I have such respect for the sport and those in it that I would not lump myself in with them or call myself a skydiver. As a WHUFFO it is easy to understand the potential (and sometimes very real) conflict between both worlds. I worry about my SO jumping and yet I feel very bad that he is not able to jump as often as he would like. But more than anything, I NEVER want to be the cause of his not jumping!! And, I know I would NEVER ask him to choose. I think finding true honest love is difficult enough and that excluding a certain group of people b/c they are skydivers or whuffos or anything else is just a great loss. But, being the whuffo in a relationship is certainly not an easy task either. Reaching true compromise is key! However, I have no idea how!!

Absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking scenery and you entering the water is a really cool pic!! I'm jealous!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

I never kept an SO as a secret but NEVER had my parents meet any of my SOs, whether they were serious or not. Not until my current SO. He couldn't believe was going to be the first one taken home to meet the parents!!! Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process. -- Phillips Brooks

Awesome video, music included! By the way, your solo jump in the video (w/ plane overhead) -- totally rocks!!

Happy birthday!!

How incredibly AWESOME for you both to share such important moments with one another!!!!!

She is absolutely beautiful!!!! I think 1&2 truly show her flirtatious side (the eyes)!!

First of all, I offer my condolences to your friend for his/her loss. It is a terrible thing for someone to die so young. I do try to let people I love that I do love them. I can be a royal pain the the a** but I hope I am clear in showing them that I do love them very much!

1. Strawberry cheesecake - awesome!! 2. Chocolate brownies (warm) with vanilla ice cream!! 3. Lastly, I am nuts for "Bananas Supreme" (sliced bananas and vanilla ice cream on warm banana-nut bread, with hot, homemade butterscotch brandy sauce) at Bahama Breeze. Yummy!!!! I'm hungry now!!
