Lolie, If you want one from Seattle, pm me and I'll send you one! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

I pm'd you, so if you want one from Seattle, you got it! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

They were ready for rioting because of their no-show last night in Vancouver and the rioting that took place. They did go on tonight, an hour late, but there was a show! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

As of a few minutes ago (10:00 pm) for a show that was to go on at 9:00pm, their show still hadn't started here! The news says they are there and there will be a show! The police are ready for rioting, if it happens again tonight. Geez, I wish he would get his act together.

Thanks, I'm still looking for the one I had. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

I had a really cool skydiving pic as my desktop wallpaper. I accidently lost it. I got it off a site mentioned here, but I can't find it now and I've done a search for the thread, but I obviously am not using the right words, because I can't get it! Anybody know of any good skydiving wallpaper sites? J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Geez, I agree with you! My first reaction was Ewwwwwww! A nice rack is nice, but those were way too big. The guys will enjoy them though. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

That was downright mean! Isn't funny how many of us were afraid to open it, but did anyway? I was not going to open it, but after reading the other posts, I felt better about it. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Yeah, what is the proper name for that thing anyway? And thanks! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Michele, I wish I could write what I feel the way you can. My thoughts are there, I just can't put them in a written piece the way you can! I admire you for that and being able to say what you mean so eloquently! You rawk, girl! I think we all are wondering what circumstances caused the loss of a beautiful girl.

I agree with you Michele. Whenever somebody goes 'out over their norm', people tend to call it a mid life crisis or whatever. Unfortunately, some of us have to wait WAY TOO LONG to discover what makes us really happy. I've gotten the reaction of disbelief, that I would do anything as risky as skydiving. I stepped way over the edge, according to some people, and sadly, they will never understand. If I decide to never go any farther with skydiving, than tandems, at least I can say "I did something for ME". It's a great feeling.

I think they are more willing to introduce themselves. Now they have a forum to do that in. When I started, I didn't introduce myself, I just "jumped" right in! I guess I just didn't feel the need to formally introduce myself or thought it was necessary. So here goes....Hi, I'm "hooked" (on skydiving that is).

LOL!!!! Too funny, but I would be screaming too! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

As everyone else says, take care of you, enjoy what you want, and 30 is no where near mid-life!!!!!! Too many times we sacrifice what we want because of someone else. Enjoy life!!!!!! Do what you want to do for a change

It has been posted before, but to a specific page on how skydiving works. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Famed Elderly Skydiver Dies In House Fire - press clips
hooked replied to quade's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I saw this on our local news. I thought, how terrific that he was able to fulfill a dream of his and how great that at his age he accomplished it! Of course it was tandems but he still did it! How sad he died in a fire though. His jumps made it to the newscasts and let everyone know it was possible. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings. -
Me too, but I think HH did it intentionally because the postings there were not from non-jumpers. It was being used in a way that wasn't intended. Good idea, if that is what happened

What a tragic loss for you and everyone who loved her. My heart, prayers and condolences to you all. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

Hey, thanks, I have thought about it, I just hate taking pills though. Worth a shot anyway. Casch, you made a good point about the cold. That probably has a lot to do with it also. I guess I should have reworded this post and left out the "strength" part. I have the strength (I think). It wasn't the strength, I was concerned about.

Enjoy your new found quiet! For a while, at least, just enjoy being by yourself. I found that I worried less about my boys, after they moved out! I had no "empty nest syndrome". You've worked hard to get to this stage, enjoy the peace, freedom and solitude

Thanks, I was wondering about the 'gripping' part, because that would be the problem. Strength, I have. Actually, it has been just recently that I have noticed the sore joints, but only if I have repeatedly had to do repetitive gripping. I've been here awhile, and it is so hard to post and try to word stuff, so that someone doesn't "take off" with the wording. Sometimes things are just taken the wrong way, and I find myself trying to word things so that won't happen!

Since I have not actually started AFF or SL yet, I think I should ask this question. What kind of strength is needed for the hands in landing a chute? I ask because, I might be developing some arthritis in my fingers and if that is going to play a role in being able to pull on the toggles, I think I would want to know. Repetitive use seems to leave me in a bit of pain and the finger joints swollen. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

I have often thought the same thing! I cannot understand why skateboarding would be called an extreme sport. Yes, I have seen some of the stunts that they do, but, extreme? I don't think so. I am not sure what sports (beside skydiving, base jumping) would be considered "extreme". J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

I can only imagine the heartbreak you are going through. Having almost lost a son years ago, I still can only imagine losing a child. He will always be with you, in your hearts. If I could, I would take away your pain. A 'tear' for you and your wife for your loss. J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.

No need to be quiet! Sending great vibes back at you! I can tell you must be on cloud nine, good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J -------------------------------------- Sometimes we're just being Humans.....But we're always Human Beings.
