Hi We got the bad news from our vet last week, for one of our chocolate labs that we rescued when he was a yr old. We've had him 7 yrs . No symptoms just took the hounds in for their rabies shot. We asked the vet about a small tumor that we found on his neck. Turned out to be one of those bad tumors, on the thyroid gland. The dog should live until 14 all we needed was 6 more yrs So we agreed to a ultrasound and Xray. To see if the tumor was operable. No joy The tumor had already attached itself to the blood veins so it's inoperable. We were shocked the dog weighs 120 lbs has a little grey on his mussel and is still acting like a puppy with lots of energy and enjoys eating. At least we can spoil him even more than before, for the time he has left, however long that is. The vet was real busy, didn't have to much time to explain what was going on but at least we got Google. Hopefully we found out soon enough that the bad stuff won't start for 3months to as long as 3 yrs.So we can still enjoy him everyday he is with us. As soon as things get bad we will not make our buddy suffer one extra day. Since we're not jumping anymore maybe we will do the ash thing, over Mt Ranier or off the end of the ferry into Puget sound, or in the woods where we take the hounds for walks or all three. -

Dave Don't understand why your seriously lowball ing the man on the cost of being a jumper. Try again $25/jump times how many jumps a yr. Some people used to consider 100 jumps per yr a minimum to be current. Why not tell the dude howmuch a packing class is, a canopy flying course will cost. Tunnel time, coach for this and that. Almost forgot the $40 annual dues to join USPA to feed the DZ monopoly. In order for the dz to break even I wouldnt be to see coin operated toilets next. R. One Jump Wonder -
Hi Jerry Being a engineer was ok, but we were able to graduate without debt, thanks to my rich uncle. I don't know if its worth paying the big bucks these days for the privilege of being a engr. Otoh if I was going to go to the big school for something. I think being a M.D. would be worth the effort. A letter from a M.D. goes a long way

If you're in this thread simply to bad mouth my friend, please do so elsewhere. This thread is intended to raise funds and support for someone in need. +1. R. One Jump Wonder

If the stork brings the babies, what bird keeps them away? The swallow. Hi John Great comeback. I'm guessing with your household demographics you've heard it all. Mom and Dad were outnumbered 2 to one and did a great job in spite of the odds. R One Jump Wonder

Yikes! - Lion Air Incidents & Accidents It must be THE place to send airliners to die...and be written off and recycle the aluminum. Hi AJ Glad to see you back.

That has got to hurt! I had the pleasure of at least 3 kidney stones all on different occasions. The first-time was a bitch because it hurts so bad, you don't a clue what broke, and you think your going to die. When the second stone hits we know it's another stone, it will pass, and we, re not going to die on the spot. No big , drink plenty of water, and run up and down the stairs.

Hi P5 Talk to your folks about the birds and bees. Then just say no and keep saying it. Nice girls get their baby's delivered by a stork, to their homes. R. One Jump Wonder

hahaha... Kids today....sheesh... while i certainly DO enjoy having a hobby which can also be enjoyed by Women...i never have relied on that "ice -breaker " aspect of it. In fact, my wife of 30+ years sorta cringed when she first found out....But By then i had over 1,200 jumps none of which had helped me "find" a woman... WE connected because of all the OTHER wonderful traits that i possess!! I started jumping when i was a teen so i USED to be able to say.. " I've made more skydives than times I've been laid.... and when whuffo guys laughed at me.. I'd follow it Up with "i've made More skydives than times YOU'VE been laid..." that usually shut 'em up...

Hi P5 Just got a call from the vet at 8 A.M. One of our dogs had a biopsy yesterday, due to a lump found during a routine exam. The results were due back today. When the Dr calls with the test results, instead of the nurse That means it's going to hurt. At least we have Google to help us figure out what a Thyroid tumor is. So far our Vet of 15 yrs is going by the book.

Anyone particularly skilled at dealing with insurance claims?

You can NEVER underestimate the importance of willing and compliant "witnesses". Hi AJ You need to recover from surgery before you interview the witness and give them a hug One Jump Wonder -

Of course you were right and dont forget it because it will happen. These days there are lots of places to get loans, but the worse your credit rateing the higher the interest rate. Payday loan and you need a job. Car tittle loan and you need a car. Notarized loan agreement Some collection company's, can't get a dime out of a real dead beats. Twardo knows how to loan money, Collateral that exceeds loan value. Twardo is nice enough that he can make his own collections if he had to.

I admire your gung ho attitude. But everytime I read one of these threads it reminds me of the little kids that want to runaway from home to join the circuse. Unless you know the right people, or luck out and are at the right dz at the right time your going to be shoveling lots of animal shit before you get a chance to work in the big tent. Get your degree first. One Jump Wonder -
Bullshit. This was pure and simple greed to appease big spenders. Bullshit back. 51% of us in here don't see it that way. The way we see it, the jumper was deliberately picking a fight, and he got what he sought. See above, as well as the companion thread (threads?) in SC. This thread is exactly why I don't go to SC Yes no, yes, no. Andy tsk tsk, first you pull the -2 card to trump the nice old ladies +1 Iexpect more than that from a mature adult. Where did you come up the 51% of the peeps agree with you.? There are at least two type's of wounds that can be experienced in war , the ones that are visable and the ones that are invisable. PTSD and TBI'S are real injuries even if you can't see them, and based on the vets behavior over the last 4 yrs,posted above. Well folks thats PTSD and TBI. Get used to it, there are a lot of these type of injured kids walking around and the V.A. is what it is. Thity miles from our house is Ft Lewis, there's a G.I in the stockade looking at the death penalty, for sneaking out of his base, slaughtering a bunch of afghans then returned to his unit. Andy rather than come up with you BS numbers and wise cracks since you have so much time on your hands check out the injured vets charity and follow the money. It might take you 10 minutes. If he's one of the bad ones that spend 90% of the funds raised on fundraising and executive pay, that's not PTSD that's a rat. FWIW I would have sent you a PM. But you,ve got that blocked. Enjoy.

It's laughable how every one keeps referring to him as "The Vet",His military status has absolutely ZERO bearing on this incident. Wearing a "fuck you" tattoo is the issue. and being a dick when asked to hide it's offensiveness. Hi Squeak I saw the tattoo and wouldnt know what it meant unless someone told me. IMO the tat is a subtle code to let the other vets know he served over there. The vet has earned that right by doing his job for us, and even worse getting injured in the process. The job has its own hazrds but there, s the collateral damage to his family and loved ones. Who are we to tell the man he has to cover his tats for the people from qatar just because they are spending $$$ and hurts their feeling. What would a jumper say if the DZO asked everyone on the dz to keep the soles of their shoes pointed away from the foreign jumpers, in the acft, while packing and sitting on a chair, so the dudes from qatar were'nt offended. Make way for the TANDEMS, The cry babies from Qatar. R One Jump Wonder

+1 40 yrs ago got a owee on my ankle from jumping in high winds. Jumped the next weekend and unknowingly favored the bad ankle and broke the ankle and fib on the good leg. Instead of waiting a week or two for the original owee to heal I had to wait a couple of month's for the broken leg to heal. R One Jump Wonder
