Talk Back Yeah, when you come in, you don't just start blah-blahing about anything... you have to say "Hello, good morning" and stuff first you know? lol "Hello! Good morning!" BTW My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

He was excellent. "Yeah man! Go. Get!" is what he said. Well, The vet found that the linning of her stomach is very rough and stripped. He found many small tumors in her stomach and lungs. There's no way we're going to do a biopsy on a 12 yr old dog but luckily, she had blood work done not long ago so by comparing it to the blood he took yesterday, he will be able to tell if they are malignent or not. So that explains the coughing up blood. She also has arthritis in her back and hips which we were aware of but we can't give her her anti-inflamatories because of her stomach. SO, I took her home with some doctor-ordered-doggy-pepto-bismal (lol) and we're going to try and releive that stomach linning. She was like a different dog on the drive home. Very happy, very energetic. We're just going to have to play it by ear now... Doc figures her to be 100 human years old so she can be fine one minute, then give us a similar scare the next. Right now, the she's comfortable more than she's uncomfortable but if that changes, we will have to put her down. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Thank you all for your Vibes and good-intentions. I just heard from the Vet. He doesn't want to jump to any conclusions but it really doesn't look good. She really seems to be fading. He's going to do an x-ray on her tummy in about half and hour to see if there is any immediate thing he can spot (re: her not eating and spiting up blood) but I fear she may be on her last day. I'm going now to ask my boss if I can call it an early day to go be with her. Not to be selfish but this could not have happened at a worse time for me as my GF and I broke up yesterday. I'm a bit of a wreck. Thanks again for the vibes... those of you that can, cross your figers for me? Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I'm much more partial to the middle name - present street name idea... It gives me: Stephen John-Stiver which sounds much more like a valid porn-name, if you ask me, than: Speedy Balltray Which I get with my first pet (turtle) and childhood street name. lol My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

My sympathies and vibes to Moody on this thread. I woke up this morning to find Honey, my 12 year old Golden Retreiver, laying on the TV room floor. Her breathing is very shallow, her nose hot and dry. She was coughing and dry-heaving tons (She didn't eat a thing yesterday -including table scrapps!- and didn't want to walk with me last night) I absolutely had to leave for work so I called my mother who works but a few minutes from my house... she cancelled a flight (she's an instructor) to take Honey to the vet. I just spoke to my father on the phone and he told me she is now coughing up blood. We had her teeth done about a week and a half ago. They don't usually do big dogs over the age of 8 because they have to put them under but they were getting so bad that they 'caused her pain and she wouldn't eat. She re-cooped so fast from it and the anesthetic but now I fear it's really taken a toll on her body. I'm sitting here at my blasted "work-station" choking back tears. I don't know what to do. I'm so afraid of losing her. She could very-well be considered my best friend Please send my your vibes and pray for my Honey. My folks won't put her down without calling me first but I don't think I could possibly leave this damn building to go be with her if they do. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Congrats!.... Beer!!!!! I've got my 100th coming up soon... I've been wondering what to do for it... I thought perhaps a rodeo race or something. Clay, Was the FF tube a good call for the 100th? It Sounds like a good idea... My sit is pretty solid... Hmmmm. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I agree, there's no point in 'hammering' "It's safe" to someone who thinks It's not. The only thing you can do is educate them and let them make the decision for themself. I've found though, that ALL whuffos are interested in my gear... I'm sure you all are aware of this too. My father was extremely uneasy and nervous about my skydiving until I gave him the grand tour of my rig. Just seeing how it works, going through the deployment stages on the ground (i.e. the pilot chute acts as an anchor now that I fall away from, the lines come off the bag here and are fully stretched before any fabric hits the air.... blah blah.... this is my cutaway pillow, you see this yellow tefflon cable?... This is the three ring system, when the tefflon cable is removed via the cutaway... This is my reserve handle.... this is where the reserve pilot chute springs out... blah blah... this is my cypress, if I'm under a thousand feet, and doing more than 78 down.....) Just seeing how much though and technology goes into the gear along with my personal knowedge of how it works and it's safety features just blew him away! He actually asks me about my skydives now inteade of just not wanting to hear about it. In the end, it's going to be his decision, but I think it would benefit you and 'yo man' to to give your dad such a walkaround of his aircraft. Good luck, blue skies, Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Heal fast Sandi! Good goose-Vibes a coming a yo way! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

hehe, jokes. I don't even HAVE a cube! I work in a call centre and thusly, have a 'work-station'.... My BOSS has a cubicle for goodness sake! hehe... I think it's time I took a look to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Then what seems to be the problem? lol I voted YES btw. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Very nice Rob! That Rhino turned out really well eh? Viva Wings!!! Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Hey? I've seen advertisments for the cypress in Skydive mags... you know: "Altitude awareness may be natural. [Pic of FreeBag floating in the air] Or not." Haha I always liked that one. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Here's the final word on nutrition and health, and it's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies: 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans. 3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans. 4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans. CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

That's really not necessary... but thanks... Thing is, a workmate (hot one ;-) sent me this pic this morning 'cause it's like we're getting a second winter all of a sudden... she said: "If it snow's anymore, let's play cards." Or something to that effect. So I sent her the snowblower pic and said: "I have a better idea" lol thanks again, it made for a good laugh. Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Thanks bud! that's the one... don't know where I got the "red-car" from but I found the thread too... It was Here Thanks again! Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

"No One?" He says in an attempt to bump it to the top. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Agreed And truth has nothing to do with it? Could probably make just as much money poking at the Iraquies and gaining support for the war monger. Unless he wasn't elected by his people that is. Alright I'll admit I'm just being difficult.. I found the letter amusing. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
