New Skydiver - Tandem Skydiving Next Month
sartre replied to chrismgtis's topic in Introductions and Greets
I will not bail out on you Julie!! I've spent the last few months just doing the things that my friends keep saying they'll do with me. I've become too impatient to wait on others, I guess! I know how it feels, everyone says they'd love to do at least a tandem, or fly in the tunnel, but when it comes to actually committing to it, everyone's got an excuse. That's why I've been so happy to start making friends who are equally consumed by these things as I am! -
That's hilarious!! I wonder if I should email it to my boss?
-
Congratulations!! You got a great TI-he's a very talented skydiver and tunnel coach as well. Now you'll have to give that a try!
-
I shall be there in November. Seems like forever!!! I hope to leave there a licensed skydiver....
-
Why is November so faaaar away? I literally can think of nothing else.

DZ.com Magic 8 Ball: Will Kelel01 Get Some Lovin' this Weekend?
sartre replied to NWFlyer's topic in The Bonfire
If anyone finds the magic 8 ball, I'd sure like to ask it some questions!! Love your edit to the demon's post, by the way! -
Absolutely. Take nothing for granted. See below for expansion on that thought. Now for me, I have gone through some experiences where my physical ability to do simple things like grip a steering wheel has been lost, and I've been in constant pain. If given the chance, I don't know that I would opt out of that experience. Because it has made me so much better as a therapist and as a person; I understand what it's like to lose independence and how constant pain really screws with your head. I am able to have infinite patience with some really difficult people (patients) as a result.

Just have another glass of Pinot and go to bed! I wouldn't change the major ups and downs of my life; they have made me who I am. But I really don't think useless guilt has served any purpose whatsoever in my life. But maybe I'll have a few beers and see if I change my mind!

Thank you for that!!

A few years ago a good friend of mine told me this true story. It seems her next door neighbor had a husband with an old sports jacket that was hideous, but he wouldn't get rid of it. Finally, out of desperation, on garbage day the wife through it out. Well, my friend's husband saw it sticking out of the trash and thought to himself, "Why, that's a perfectly good jacket right there!! Who would throw that away?" At the next neighborhood dinner party, my friend's husband showed up wearing the horrible dinner jacket. Both wives were mortified. The first one because she had been found out. My friend for the fact that everyone there knew her husband was wearing clothing he'd dug out of the neighbor's trash. It was awhile before everyone was back on speaking terms!!

Well, you know, it's considered medicinal if it's red wine.

Hey, my sister always told me if I could just run around with one glass of wine in my system, I'd be a lot less of a bitch. Only she used nicer words.
-
But for you Julie, I've already told you what to do about that. Remember?
-
Yep. It comes in a bottle and it's called Prozac. Well, it's worked for me, anyway.
-
That's the kind of thing I'm talking about!!!! Would you really sport the look you probably did in middle school if you could have a do-over?
-
While that is in general a nice sentiment, and I agree, there are still specific things that I wish I could change. Things I don't think added anything of value to the person I am today. Would I skip the pain, the disappointment, the highs and lows? No way. But if given the chance, I might choose to have been a little nicer to myself along the way. I would have given up perfectionism a lot sooner. And I would have really enjoyed my carefree lifestyle, knowing I had my whole life ahead of me to do the "responsible things".

But some of us are.
-
In that case, I want several do overs....
-
yeah, just get married....
-
What would you change? I've always thought, "I wouldn't change a thing, because everything I've been through has made me who I am today." But now I look back and realize, there are some things I would change if I could. For example, in my early twenties, I went out dancing with my friends nearly every night. I ate out for nearly every meal. My refrigerator usually had very little in it. And though it was only myself, I felt guilty for going out so much and for not cooking more meals at home. Why?!! I wish I would have just spent less time feeling guilty about stupid things. What would you do over?

It doesn't help much when the addiction can be further fed by tunnel time in between jumps....

Apparently I really get around!!

Thanks...she really can't afford COBRA. We're going to be able to get her on our insurance, but she's got to pick all new docs.
