New Zealand or Scotland. The landscape of both gets me in the heart. But I'd rather just not have to leave Canada Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

Not crazy! I haven't needed to try that, but I know plenty of people who found relief and healing that way, my brother being one. He has degenerative disc problems, and accupuncture has helped hugely. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

Ditto on the chiropractor. When I messed my back up about 9 years ago, I tried physio and drugs. Only getting theraputic massage and seeing my chiropractor helped at all. That and excercise for my abs. I know when I've been slacking on my crunchies and stretching cause my back starts to hurt. See someone about it though. As I understand it, (from having been there done that) small back pains can easily become big back pains when not looked after.

Michele ((((HUGS)))) It is a huge thing to choose your direction instead of drifting with old (outdated/incorrect) perceptions. Re-write your personal script! It may be the hardest piece of writing you ever do, but I know you're up to it. Thanks for sharing. I think that many of us are prying open that door, and it's good to know that we're all in the battle together.

Good on you! Getting work published is a pain in the ass; congrats on breaking into the club.

Sweet! raising something good for a toast... here's to hundred's more! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

Congrats! It is the most amazing feeling, ain't it? And it gets better and better. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

You missed a category... Jokes only! The forwards that make me laugh are the petitions. I can't imagine that any petition signed on-line can have any influence on anyone anywhere, let alone ANY legal use whatsoever. And ditto about e-mails that aren't cleaned up. If it's really worth forwarding, it's worth the time to clean it up. Otherwise, do us all a favour and hit delete!

Love ABBA! My favourite is probably 'Thank you for the Music'. I remember listening to my older sister play their music in her room, and I always loved it when 'Mama Mia' came on. And of course 'Dancing Queen'. When my neice was younger, I'd visit with her and we'd listen to music. She hated it when I knew all the words to 'her' music because it was just cover versions of 'my' music. So of course I pointed out every cover version.

Hey Michele if you don't mind I'm gonna print that out and stick it in my logbook! I'd put money on it that everyone has 'been there, done that'. You look around at everyone who makes it look easy, and want to be at that point too. So I've just decided to enjoy the journey. And as far as being cold goes... gal you have to come here and jump if you want to feel cold! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

Whoohoo! Congrats on your 'A'! 10:1:0 10 fingers frozen to the bone. 1 jump, knowing it'd be stupid cold but I did it for karma. Filled the load so a new student who was aching for his second jump could go up. I was in his spot so very recently - and occasionally still am! Didn't think he should go home disappointed.

Absolutely not! I did 5 jumps in 2001, then waited 6 months before starting up again. It was painful! Every day, every other minute, it was all I could think about. Still is, actually! So you can relax, you are completely, 100% normal! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

Good on you! It feels awesome, don't it? Like you're able to take on the world with that license. That's the truth! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

My cat loved it at first, but after too many times of it disappearing just as she caught it, or somehow rising up through her paw, she is horribly paranoid now. Soon as she sees it, she gets a twitch and runs away. Funny, but she won't calm down for hours. And the way they shake their feet after they come in from the snow is hillarious!

What did you do for your 100th jump?
Snowbird replied to Milney's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Did my 100th just yesterday! A tube exit from the Cessna with one of my dz owners. It was much fun. Of course, I had planned a balloon jump while at the Invasion in Eloy, but a dust storm messed that up. And as far as the pie goes... well, my hair hasn't been this soft in ages!

Fitness and Skydiving project

Quade, I'll agree with that therapist. After a weekend of jumping, my butt is sore. My hubby says it's one of the best things about me jumping. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein -
Great name! How much longer until he enters the world? Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

Are you planning on coming up? I've already booked off time at work. Can't wait

Thanks! I guess this means I'm kinda hooked...

Good for you. Carpe dadum.

Congratulations! Enjoy that honeymoon 6 pies in the face:2:none for a change The skies were perfectly clear, and not even too cold. Finally got in the air around 2pm, did a tube exit out of the cessna for my 100th jump! Woohoo! Got completely and utterly pied later on. I was being cautious, and they still surprised me. Discovered that a whipped cream treatment is good for the hair! Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

How long since your last jump!?
Snowbird replied to lukepinion's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
About three weeks since the Invasion. Hopefully the weather stays mild, and I'll get some altitude on Sunday. Right now there is a hot air balloon fiesta in town, and I'm watching them through my window at work, wondering what I'd have to do to get a one-way ride... This? Oh it's just my backpack. Honest! Hey look at that nice flat field below us. C-ya! Oh well I'm allowed to dream... Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein -
My Beauty is in her gear bag, in my home office. It's the only place that she is safe from the cat, and I can see her all the time.

They're all sweeties, but my Shawnee wins, if you ask me. She loves to pose for the camera. For those wondering, she's husky/border collie. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein

Yeah, I was in grade 2, and that's how I remember it. Jan 27 was also the anniversary of the Apollo fire. 3 astronauts lost their lives in that.
