    Scary stuff

    Sorry to hear about your experience. As with any other profession, the "bad" & "unethical" ones always paint a horrible picture of all. I do agree that there are some real questionable attorneys out there and I have been duped by quite a few, those that have been around a very long time -- the good old boys!! And I have had judges make decisions that have been heartbreaking -- just wrong decisions!! But I guess, being a member of the bar for only 3 years, I can still find the good in it and in most of the players.

    Well, how exciting! I'll live vicariously through your first jury trial experience. I too have had a number of bench trials but no jury yet. Can't wait!!! Good luck!!
  3. I begin this post with the caveat that I've only done one tandem (this past weekend) and I am so excited about going through AFF and hopefully continuing in the sport for years to come. I do recognize that it is a dangerous sport and fully respect and appreciate that. Like you, I have not told my parents. I am an only child -- be it one of 34 y.o. -- and when attempting to tell my mother this past weekend -- post jump -- she put her hand up and said "I don't want to know anything about it. It's your business but don't tell me anything about it. And don't tell your father." I will approach it again when I have a quantifiable number of jumps under my belt, but for now, when I begin AFF I'll just enjoy the hell out of it and be SAFE. The indestructible mentality you reference is perfectly natural -- in my opinion -- for your age. The senior in me would simply stress common sense and safety.
