  1. I'm trying to envision this. Does it cause you to turn if your hands aren't perfectly straight? TPM Sister #102
  2. Its available online. I had the link, but my cow ate it. If your cow is the one that fell onto the car, you're never getting it back. Try the USPA website. TPM Sister #102
  3. Ahhh, Carl's not feelin' the love . . . but the thing is, it's not about us. She'll show up for PETER. And, after all, it's Peter. TPM Sister #102
  4. I believe you . . . this once! Okay, yes, I know you would. TPM Sister #102
  5. The weather should cooperate. I think it's supposed to be 70 that day. TPM Sister #102
  6. Come to the tunnel, I'll be working there friday...i'm sure we can "coax" Jewels into making an appearance there too LisaH just informed me that I was missing all the action in this thread! Yes, OF COURSE I'll fly at the tunnel. You don't have to follow Cocheese's sweet advice; just come play in the wind tunnel. That would be fantastic! There are several people around who are easily convinced to come out. Just let us know and psipike02 can get us on the schedule. Of course, I am acting like you WANT to come do this. . . . I can't jump, but I can fly. . . . TPM Sister #102
  7. You running types look unnaturally happy for all the misery I'd expect a marathon to be! At least you made it into one shot yourself! TPM Sister #102
  8. Go Cora! Those are some pretty shots. I put in my three votes.
  9. Don't tell until the new owners start having issues with her sleeping there every night, I say! TPM Sister #102
  10. *hijack* Not blasting you at all, but I'm just curious why you think this is a troll. I usually think of a troll as someone who posts no profile info and then tries to stir things up. I don't think I've seen any "LegallyGirl" posts that look like they're out to incite inflammatory discussions . . . but maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, as for the few jumps I can claim, I've never felt more alive than in those moments. Different people find it in different places and different ways. I find it in freefall. Not everyone will understand--but then, they don't need to. TPM Sister #102

    Black Widow

    I like it! What a sassy little thing. Glad she's off doing what little black widows do and that you're a softie. TPM Sister #102

    HOORAY!!!!!!!!! Thank you. She can shiver in peace now. Glad she wasn't nibbling on you, though! TPM Sister #102

    I can't believe YOU just said that. Why? I don't mind spiders. Or was it the neighbor thing? TPM Sister #102

    Black Widow

    Awwwww! Don't let her out in your house. Take her to the neighbor you like the least and let her play in their garden. TPM Sister #102

    By "dispose," I hope you mean "let her go." Please! TPM Sister #102
  16. This bears repeating!! I think charging for calling an Rx in is absurd, but I can see how the large volume busy practices would think they needed to since they likely are paying one person to do that one task all day. I understand that a doctor's office is also a business and that they have overhead needs, but I expect those expenses to be rolled into the office's charges in general and not to have them blatantly passed on to me--at a tidy little profit, nonetheless. Other offices are covering these expenses without announcing it and making it a separate fee. I would rather pay a slightly increased overall cost that encompasses those expenses than feel like I was being charged for every interaction I had with the office. It's like using another bank's ATM and paying all the nickel and dime fees every time you want something. They also have a lot of nerve to try to make it sound like they're offering you a real deal. I agree that this tells you a lot about how they approach their practice and I would rather cut my losses, pay the $50 fee and get out. It's still $25 cheaper than their "special" offer. TPM Sister #102
  17. BTW, thanks for being willing to take time with a patient when it's needed. I will admit that there have been times that I wondered why the doctor scheduled so many appointments and didn't allow longer for each to begin with, but I have also really appreciated it when I felt like I could talk to my doctor and get the information I needed without being pushed out because--DING!--my time was up. So, thanks for being sensitive to that. I'd rather have a doctor who is truly available to me than a doctor who is just punctual. TPM Sister #102
  18. Same here, what the fuck?!? So...I go to the office to get the script in person and pay a $25 copay each month, OR pay the $10/month fee for the office calling in the script refill, OR pay an annual fee of $75 for these admin services. I would go in and pick up the files in person (no mailing fee--well, if they'd actually give them to you)--and then I'd use the opportunity to explain that they had just lost my business. Talk about offensive. Those fees are ridiculous. TPM Sister #102

    The Cat

    Any basic command works in translation. As long as you do the cat's bidding, you should generally be correct. TPM Sister #102
  20. I think they could be fun! Sorry your thread started off on the tone it did, but it looks like you're already getting a lot of voting input. I hope it goes well for you! TPM Sister #102
  21. Too true! It's hard work, a hard schedule, and a lot of physical wear and tear. I love our owners here in Denver so I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but it's like a lot of jobs--it just doesn't necessarily pay the real value of the service, like teaching.
  22. Congratulations! That has to feel really good. I'm glad you got it figured out. TPM Sister #102
  23. Beautiful shots!! I have no kids and, therefore, no pumpkin pics, but I like yours! TPM Sister #102
  24. NOT ENOUGH. They earn every cent, plus a lot of cents they never see. If you're interested, do it because you love it. That'll make you a better instructor and you won't have unmet expectations. TPM Sister #102
  25. What a cutie! I can think of a few ripped papers that would make me laugh that way, too! TPM Sister #102
