So sorry to hear about your injury. [B]PLEASE[/B] take your time to get completely healed. You don't want to take a chance, have another "iffy" landing and do permanent damage. 6 weeks without jumping is a hell of a lot better than a lifetime of never being able to jump again. Be safe! Let us know when you go back and how things go!

[B][RED]WAY TO GO!!!![/RED][/B] . Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

While it might be less of an issue to some, for most of us who live on a budget and are struggling to get by as it is....a 50 cents a gallon increase in the last 3 months is an enormous jump! And the scary part is that they are predicting the prices to jump even higher still! For those who bought one of those gas-guzzling vehicles, it is worse. They are stuck in a vehicle that they probably will find it hard to trade out of, because everyone else is trying to do the same thing. Negative equity and lack of demand makes it hard to trade sometimes. So they are stuck with a gas guzzler AND gas price increases. It sounds silly, but stuff like this can change a person's standard of living. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Your opinion is sort of the direction I am leaning. I have been described as having a bouncy/pouncy personality and don't normally let things upset me for very long. I might stay upset for a day. Then I'm bouncing off the walls again like nothing bad ever happened. Since I don't hold grudges, I'm starting to think it's not worth even bringing up. THEY might hold a grudge and might not see my point of view at all. There's a proverb that starts, "Pride goeth before a fall...."

A situation happens that upsets you. You are willing to suppress your hurt feelings, but then the situation is compounded by what you feel is a falsehood later. All the hurt rises back to the surface. The person has no idea that you know. It's not a life threatening situation, nor anything that physically could hurt anyone. Just a matter of pride and a bruised ego. Do you confront the person and tell them that you were hurt by the situation? Or do you just let it go, figuring that a few hurt feelings aren't worth the possibility of losing a friendship? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

O + Even though I hate needles, I try to give blood a couple times a year.

I always to forget to post my own answers. I am basically on the south side of Atlanta, Georgia. I've seen gas as high as $2.25, but the average that I've personally paid is $2.19. This is just craziness! I drive a 6-cylinder Mustang and put $15.00 worth of gas in the car yesterday evening and the gauge didn't even register half full.

With the price of gas going up and up and up, I'm just curious about the prices everyone is paying around the world. Post what City/State or Country you're in and how much gas is per gallon at this moment. For those of you who use the metric system, feel free to post by your measurements and prices.

Oh, I'm glad to be rid of him. But in my original posting, you'll note that this isn't the first time that this happened to me. It was the 3'rd...and God knows how many boyfriends in between. My point is that it can't be all their faults, can it? Doesn't it say that I am defective or broken that I can't get a guy to be faithful to me?

Hmmm...nice theory. Obviously, I'm not shy and don't mind talking about my problems and feelings. Lost a ton of weight and got a new attitude. I even offered to go to a marriage counselor with him. He refused, of course, stating we had no problems. Oh, and sex? This is how a typical conversation about sex would go: ME- HIM-I don't feel like sex tonight. ME-Why not? HIM-Because you're always asking for sex. If you'll quit asking, maybe I'll give you some. [B][U]Final Outcome-Boinky was sexless in Georgia, while SO was out screwing every other willing woman he could find. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

OK...last marriage for point of reference. He was 6'0"and 330 lbs. Red head, freckled..not what anyone would call a "looker" by no means. 3 years ago, I weighed almost 210 lbs. I am 5'2". I started skydiving and lost almost 30 pounds. I was like a whole new woman. I got a new attitude and became a younger, more open minded, creative woman. If you ask anyone, they would tell you that I am 100% opposite of who I was in 2001 and before. It didn't help. He still cheated and flaunted his indiscretions in my face. But I still have to think I was lacking in some department for him to not want to be faithful either before or after becoming the "new Nina."

Although I am pretty mentally scarred, I refuse to give up hope. I have to believe that there are some good men out there who would give everything for a kind, loving, intelligent FAITHFUL woman to be by their side.

I've been married 3 times. Different types of men, or so I thought....Each of them eventually cheated on me. So is the fault in them, or is there something wrong with me? Is there something about me that makes men want to cheat on me? "Oh, you're a good woman and I want you around to take care of me, but I don't want to have sex with just you." It sucks and it hurts! [B]BADLY I have mental scars from these relationships and I don't think I'm good enough for anyone now. If I ever get fortunate enough to have a serious relationship with a man again, he'll know everything about my past and what I expect from the future. I might even want to have someone who's had the same experience as me. That way, he knows where I am coming from first hand is more willing to "Do the right thing."

I LOVE the Discovery Store. So many cool things to "play" with..... Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Their program is sort of different. He won't be in "gifted" classes all day. He will stay in a classroom with his peers except for one class a day. He will then report to the SAGE class. Depending on what time the class is, he might very well go back and report to his regular classroom after that. The good thing is that he gets along with all people. He loves babies gets along well with children his age and loves adult. A very loving young man and is kind to animals. After he has started the classes, I can, at my option, choose to have him removed from the program if I see that it is causing him any ill effects or attitudes. I still think [B][BLUE]LIFE IS GOOD!!! because of how far he has come in school. From being the problem child sent to the principal's office in Kindergarten to qualifying for this gifted program, I am very proud of his accomplishments.

You are sooo bad, Grant! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Thank you all. While I am terrifically proud of him, I don't know how much credit I can personally take for this achievement, though. For once in my life, I'm going to have to say that it is [B]NOT[/B] all about me! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

I can't speak for myself. Come back and ask me in late June. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

AWWW!!! You're such a sweetie, Chris. I'll look forward to it! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Where I live, the school system has a program called SAGE (Special Activities in Gifted Education. Recently, I attended a parent/teacher conference where they informed me that they wanted to test my 10 year old, Nolan, to be accepted into this program. He was subjected to 45 minute daily tests for 1 1/2 weeks. When the letter arrived, he called me, begging to open it...he qualified!!! He's so excited! [B][BLUE]LIFE IS GOOD!!![/BLUE][/B] He will have regular classes, but he will also go to these daily SAGE classes. This is what the letter said: "What will my child study in SAGE?" The elementary gifted curribulum is designed to meet the special needs of gifted students, exploring topics in greater depth than in regular classroom instruction. The five-year rotating curriculum of interdisciiplinary thematic units is academically based in science, social studies, mathematics and language arts, but includes fine arts, vocational awareness and technical skills. The study units for the 2005-2006 school year will be: Unit 1 - Architecture, Unit 2 - Inventions, Unit 3 - Mysteries. 3-D Geometry infused in study units throughout the year. Damn....the child is going to smarter than most of us after all of this!!! This comes on top of his recent straight A honor roll for the first time and is a testament to the fact that ADHD children CAN perform well in school, given the right medicine doseage and the correct learning environment.
