You guys need to come up to Palatka Sat. night.

Yay! Yay! Yay! I can't wait to see you girls!!!

You aren't coming to Palatka?

Don't listen to Max, Laura. I'll handle him. Come down here and make some jumps with me!!

I'm the only one in my office wearing the red and gray and I'm deep in the gator territory...now that's love if I do say so myself!!

Happy Birthday, Steven. I'm sorry I'm so late with this. I wish you many, many hugs and many more smiles and good times for the future to come.

Come on people, we need more than this!!

I had a bad night with Patron Friday night that put me out of commission until Sunday afternoon.

I saw my canopy flying in the air and I wasn't piloting it and I stole your pirate. The End.

This is exactly what I was trying to say, the whole box thing was just an analogy, not something that I am actually contemplating or what I wanted this thread to be about. This really is not a thread about me, but I will admit that I have thought about this in the past and have had several discussions on this subject with male and female friends. I wanted to open it up to get a range of different perspectives because you are right, these days there seems to be a certain mindset or stigma if you will, that when you say the word “relationship”, it sets some people off. But, also, on the other end of the spectrum, you have those that believe that if they are chatting with someone over cyberspace on a regular basis and pleasantries and such are exchanged, they are in a relationship with that person, even though no such thing was discussed. They believe they have a reason to get hacked off at someone for having other friends that they talk to, etc. I think the reason for this hypersensitivity is equated to the fact that it has become customary for people to date two or three people at a time also like you said and that long-term relationships are being replaced with this casual, quasi- relationship. Maybe it’s just that, maybe relationships have evolved into something totally different than what my parents had or even what I had back in high school. I have been out of the whole relationship scene for over two years now and it’s just interesting (and scary) to see what it has turned into.

I'm using the box figuratively not literally speaking.

This has nothing to do with me whatsoever. Yes, I have thought about it in the past, but no not I. I'm just interested in what people honestly think and feel.

Yes, this is where I'm getting to. How many people just assume that they are in a relationship after something has taken place with a certain person, ie. sex, several dates, meeting family, etc... or it doesn't even have to be that involved. I know people can get emotionally and mentally involved with someone without ever meeting them, but do people consider that a relationship also?

When you aren't interested in anyone else other than the person you want to be in a relationship with? That's when you check the "In the Relationship" box?

When do you decide it's time to check the "In a Relationshp" box on Myspace or change your status from single to taken?

I haven't seen the magazine, I have not received a copy of Parachutist since I renewed my membership back in August.... but here is the pic I believe is in it and yes Andy, you are in it.

He started before the sun came up and did all the jumps out of the 182 at 2K except for the last one which was out of the Otter with of us cool kids.

Art did 45 jumps on his birthday. The group in that photo did his 45th with him.

So you are stuck too? I am stuck too.

The life of a legal assistant. I would so not be here if I had not been sick ALL week two weeks ago.

We made it in Parachutist for his 45 jumps on his 45th b-day too!!

Bobo, I'm gonna buy you a hemmoroids pillow to sit on. Drive in increments...you can stop in Tallahassee and then Gainesville and then we will get you so inebriated in Gainesville that you will forget about your back. I waved at you as I drove by on I-10 today. Hope you saw me. Really gonna miss you. Heal quickly.

LOL!!! Okay, I am a little drunk on the Christmas Cab I just had...but wtf are you tawkin bout willis???

I got a bonus, a bottle of liquor, some baked goods and a patridge in a pear tree..oh and I'm getting a raise!!!!

I'm in too. Why not? We could be like REAL WORLD marriage...get MTV to sponsor us and we live in this really cool house somewhere and whenver I come home, I won't have to worry because my SO isn't there because they'll be so many of us!!
