-Nothing glorious about it and you don't need to try and glamorize it. You're about on my last nerve tonight. You hit the nail on the head. My first husband killed himself. I spent so long wishing I could just ask him why? Wondering what tiny thing I could have done differently that would have changed the outcome of that day. Feeling like I failed him. If you love someone, you just don't do that to them.

*** It's all part of the price we pay to experience a life beyond what most people will ever know. I think that sums it up. Very profoundly.

LOL!

Amen to that.

If this thread is not doing you any good, why don't you stay off of it? I've actually spent yesterday and this morning thinking about it quite a lot. To think you know & accept the risks intellectually, and to really get that there's a significant chance of death or severe injury are really two different things. Not everyone sees the world from your viewpoint, so give us enough respect to not ridicule what you don't understand.

There's no way around it. Life is fatal. If I skipped sex (or whatever, insert your own noun) for the next five years, I'd look back in regret at what I hadn't done for fear of dying.

I was hoping Icon134 would marry me and become my favorite kitchen appliance, but he hasn't said yes yet. Of course, my husband would have to agree to that, too. But I'm sure he would. He loves to eat! Otherwise, my favorite kitchen appliance would have to be the rack that my keys hang from. Because I'd rather go out to dinner than cook it myself.

Apparently, for my husband, it was the day we got married. (He stopped opening doors for me then, too, but that's another thread!). For me, if neither of us ever had to do it in front of the other, that would be great with me. His excuse is "but you don't want me to get sick, do you?" And if, despite my best efforts, I accidentally let one slip, he shouts, "Good one, honey!" and tries to high five me.

LOL! Good point! I did wonder why the only time people actually listen to me is when stupid stuff comes out of my mouth...

I was at a friend's party and a large group of people were scattered nearby, most of whom I did not know. My friend's 18 month old kept walking up to me with a ball, I'd throw it, and he'd bring it back to me. About the fifth time, he noticed a second ball nearby, so came waddling towards me with a ball in each hand. I practically shouted out, "Wow, Caleb, do you have two balls?" I never saw a room get so quiet so quickly!

I didn't know her personally but was made to laugh many times by her naughtiness on-line. It's taken me three sessions to read this thread because everyone's sentiments bring me to tears. I'm very sorry for this terrible loss.

That's too funny! I was just now considering changing it because I started thinking that maybe people would take it wrong....thanks!

Hi Ro- You are absolutely not frightening me about my jump at all. I'm learning from it all. But it did give me pause this afternoon when I read about the Ohio tandem fatality. Just made me more aware of what I need to pay attention to. From everything I've read about you, it doesn't surpise me that your first jump was an AFF jump. Seems like you are a go-getter with a heart of gold! Thanks- Yvonne

Not that I know him, but he does seem a little grouchy about it.....

..I'm with you.....

I plan to.

I have been following your thread all weekend with great interest. And now it's eerie that your major fear is a poor-fitting rig, and now a woman in Ohio has died from falling out of one. I'm so glad you're being cautious! Next weekend is my first tandem jump, and I am trying to get as much info as I can in order to not be spooked by the Ohio accident. But I'm a little heeby-jeebied by the occurrence after having spent the weekend reading about the importance of a properly adjusted rig. You better believe I will (quietly) be bringing up my concerns at the DZ next weekend. PS I'm not anywhere as tiny as you nor as large as is being reported the victim was. I hope this makes it more likely I'll be just fine.

Sounds familiar.

Well, first off, you really need to ask yourself, is a woman who responds to being denigrated anyone you'd want to have a relationship with? A confident, mature woman is not looking to play games and have games played on them. Above all, you need to be yourself, be confident about it but not an ass, and wait for the woman who is smart enough to appreciate you. Don't waste time on idiots.

Probably after too many drinks.....

Thank you, all of our dear servicemen and women for doing the tough stuff that we tend to take for granted. My prayers are for those of you currently serving to come home safely and quickly; for the loved ones of the soldiers who've passed on, and for all of us to remember the freedoms we have now are thanks to those who've been willing to die for what we believe in. Thanks to you all. ~ -
Forgiving is really for yourself; as has been better stated, holding a grudge only hurts you. That said, I recall a saying that goes something like this: Forgive a thief, but guard your camel.

Women: You're way too smart to get blinded by beer goggles and let the ugly guy take you home. Men: You're not horny enough to get blinded by beer goggles and take the ugly girl home.

Good: "Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes." Better: "Sex is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes."
