Hehe! The bird abandoned her nest making in my flower pot and the other nest of birds have all gotten their wings and flown away! No need for any predators here! Yep, no need for any snakes here!!!! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

I loved reading your post! You managed to 'capture' your feelings and experience very well. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Absolutely priceless!!!!! What a great picture. LOL! So glad you stayed in the sport! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Oh, geez. I had not heard the news. I've just been 'reveling' in the quiet here and haven't heard any news. Very sad, but as you said, they went for what they wanted to do! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

This post of yours about your first jump........just wonderful and great writing in capturing your feelings! Thanks sooooo much for sharing it with us! Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

That is really wonderful!!!!!! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Jeeesh!!!!! Just a minor setback, you'll be back to finish AFF in no time! Positive thinking only allowed here!

Welcome to the forums. The fact that you are here and doing some research might suggest....you might not be as 'chicken' as you think. If it's something you really don't want to do, then don't do it. On the other hand.....what an experience! Is your friend a skydiver, or does she just want someone to join her in doing a tandem? J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Oh, I don't mind the facial hair, it's just the 'goatee' (is that what it's called?), I don't like. It doesn't make one any less or more attractive. My hubby has a beard, but a full beard. See, I knew I shouldn't have said anything. Next time I will think before typing!!!!! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

What a great write up of your experience!!!! You mentioned how odd it was to see everyone exit out that open door, I still love to see that! Simply amazing. I am so glad you had a good time. There is just no way you can describe to someone what it is like to jump from an airplane.....they have to do it themselves. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

It does look like fun! Hey guys, what's with that facial hair? Girls....do you like it or not? Maybe I should start a poll. -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Keep it away from here! We have a nest of baby birds, just learning to fly! Very cute, one just couldn't quite get the hang of it. We put it back up on a branch, and we saw Momma Bird coming back to feed it, so I guess its okay. Then, another bird thought it was going to make its nest in a big pot of flowers on my deck! I took the pot off the deck to a less traveled area. I think she has continued to make the nest, because it appears larger. Now, how do I 'tend to' the flowers without disturbing the nest and upcoming new arrivals?

I've been there, too many times. But remember, beauty comes from within. 'Don't sell yourself short', Chris. Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Ummm.....forgot to attach? Welcome! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Yep, sounds pretty familiar! Very true! I hate having to 'curb' what I want to say, but people just get tired of hearing about skydiving! They just don't know what they're missing out on! Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

And here I've been doing it the old way, by enclosing it with the bracts and url!!!!! You learn something new everyday!!!! Now, if I can just remember this little fact of making it clicky! Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is done. I've just been to the site and signed it. This is so necessary! Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

It's explained under FAQ, it isn't hard. I can't do it here or it makes a link! Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can do it. I'm also computer illiterate. Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

number should be more numb. Hey, I didn't write it. There were more, but I saved you all from the rest of it! Jan -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

WHY IS ENGLISH SO DIFFICULT? Let's begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice; yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet, and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that, and three would be those, yet hat in the plural would never be hose, and the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, but though we say mother we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim. Some reasons to be grateful if you grew up speaking English; 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) At the Army base, a bass was painted on the head of a bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) After a number of Novocain injections, my jaw got number. 19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
