    A mower deck....hmmmm....I knew it was missing something.....It gets the worst mileage of anything I have ever owned. It started out as my kid's car and I took over the payments.......It wouldn't be my first choice, but I've gotten used to it. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

    I have a 2003 Exterra. Gas mileage is pretty poor, about 18-20 mpg overall. I like driving it, but there is rollover potential with the one I have. I don't know about newer ones. My son tells me it's good for 4 wheeling. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Hi Fozz, I'm envious of all you lucky folks who are there. Someday [big sigh] Do a few jumps for me and have a great time! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Yes, people can change, but change doesn't happen overnight. You know, that 2 steps forward, one step backwards. When you're not acting on those thoughts you don't like, you're making progress. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    How about a maid? I'm just not a domestic type person. i'd rather mow the lawn than do dishes, laundry, dust......ycch... "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Well, I remeber renting the phones and having a party line. I never made a phone, but I remember helping my best friend "fix her phone" so it wouldn't ring. We'd skipped school and didn't want the school to call her mom. We ended up taking the bell out, but it still made some noise. Busted!

    Oh, please. I believe I'd be getting a lot better prepared students at the college level then. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Oh, good. The research must be scientific, of course.

    I haven't heard, but keep in mind that sometimes it takes lots and lots of research to find the answer "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Try 17 years unless you're only 13! Make you feel any older? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    I find it pretty much incomprehensible that people really think that giving kids a realistic sexual education is going to warp their minds and corrupt them. Simple fact---sex feels good and kids are going to find out one way or another---I believe we have a responsibility to give them options that work, not just preach abstinance.

    That's impressive unless you get paid a lot more than teachers here. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    It's really hard when you lose someone after a lifetime of knowing them, but time helps, eventually. I lost my little brother unexpectedly to cancer two years ago. I still miss him at lot, but the ache is less. Take time to call/see his mom and just be there for her. Share good memories as you can. I wish I had more to offer, but it will get better.

    No way. It just means you know how to get the most out of everything you do.... "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    YepBut this is the right kind of trouble to be in. Not only is skydiving a great adventure, but it attracts a lot of pretty great people, definitely free spirits. I've always like flying in planes, usually with a window weat and my nose stuck to the window, but the view is sooooooo much better without the plane in the way!!! You're gonna love it.

    My first jump was also a tandem in October and it really is a fantastic experience. It can grab you hook, line and sinker. It did me. Within a few hours of landing what was only going to be a one-time experience, I was on the phone to the DZ finding out about training for getting my license. I've done two AFF jumps now and it just gets better. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    They are fantastic. I've seen them three years in a row and plan on going again next year. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

    Not for me. There's something about grandma getting run over that doesn't set well with me "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
