I drink water all day long at work when I'm sitting on my ass. I drink at least 1 litre in the morning before work, but I spike it with lemon juice and splenda cause my tummy doesnt like water first thing in the am. If you're doing a lot of activity, too much water can give you cramps and screw up your electrolytes. Its good to throw some gatorade or something (no soda or coffee) in the mix. Interesting articles Quade posted.. I knew that too much water can make you sick, but never knew it could kill ya! ps- this may be a diet myth but spiking your water with a few tablespoons of lemon juice is supposed to keep you from retaining water.

Why dont you just ask her what she means? Shes divulged this much information, I'm sure if you seem sensitive to her concerns she would tell you. Otherwise, youre just going to have a bunch of guesses from a bunch of skydivers. And now we all want to know what she means, even though its none of our business.

"Bart! They said you was hung!" "And theys RIGHT!" (appropriate quote for this thread..) Then you oughta know its ROCK RIDGE! Red Rock was a legendary BULL who was quite difficult to ride. Even for the good Cowboys. He died though.

My advice is to present it verbally as opposed to a letter that can be ignored. I'm assuming that during your review, your boss will go over a list of criteria that you have been scored on. You should have access to this list prior to your review. If you dont, then ask for it. As your boss is discussing the criteria, add stuff to it. Talk about your job, your skills, the progress and accomplishments you've made. Remember to smile and be enthusiastic about your accomplishments. You may not even have to ask for more money. Raises are normally built in to reviews. However, if you are not offered a raise, you have the perfect opportunity to ask for one. If you dont get what you want on the spot, whip out the letter and put it in front of your manager. I would add to the letter your starting salary, the added responsibilities, the projects you have worked on, your current salary, and requested salary. Hopefully, you wont even need the letter, but have it as a backup and to let your mgr know youre serious about your request. Dont be shy.. be proud, be confident, be friendly.. and you'll get it!

Doh! It didnt even occur to me at the time. And I'm supposed to be a smartie!! Oh well.

I bought the same computer about a month ago. I'm enjoying it. The only thing that annoys me is that I have too many external drives hooked up to it. Had to dig up an external cd drive so I could burn copies of cd's. Other than that.. nothing stupid has happened with it so far.

Nawwww...the lizard lives in Tennessee. He just tried his luck in Vegas for a weekend, and went to see the De La Hoya v. Mosely fight. He wanted to have his picture taken with De La Hoya.. see attachment.. I havent ever seen a panther in the south.. pink or otherwise..

We have a skydivng lizard... but hes not licensed or Austrailian. Here he is in Vegas, playing slots to win money for his own gear and jump tickets...

"Drop your trousers here for best results." What?... I see nothing wrong with this one... use it all the time!

He doesnt look THAT hot.. have him email me so I can make a more informed decision.

Someone once told me that I am "a very 'together' woman". He didnt know me at all!! haha!

Because I'm a misplaced Texan! You can take the girl out of Texas.. but... (y'all know the rest..)

So it is! Thanks!

No, but if you hold it still while jumping up and down.. that counts! Best to use a capped bottle not a glass...

Michele, Do you have a link to the article you wrote about Art? I didnt get a chance to read it when it was on the home page. Please send it to me if you do. Thanks!

Not to mention that I-35 goes east and west to hit Dallas and Ft. Worth, and you can go north or south on it, then hits I-635 at some point. I-30 is Tom Landry Highway, even though Texas Staduim is on Loop 12 and The Ballpark at Arlington is on I-30. HWY 183 is somehow in both Dallas and Austin. In Austin, the streets "Guadalupe" and "Manchaca" are pronounced "Gwadaloop" and "Man-shack". If you dont drive a truck or an SUV, you cant see shit in front of you because everyone else has a truck or SUV and you're too short. Its not rare to see horse shit on the interstate. Chicago has Chicago-style pizza.. but in Texas, BBQ is NOT loose meat.. its not even a food. Its a method of cooking brisket, ribs, pork, and chicken. You dont neccessarily BBQ on a grill either. Y'all got it??

It seems you all have moved away from discussing this incident. The title of this thread is "CYPRES Save!" and NOT "fatality at TN Skydive Center" BECAUSE Caryn had a cypres. So if there is anything to be learned from this incident, it is that a cypres can save your life in such a case. It certainly increases your odds in most other cases. Unless anyone has more information on the facts of this incident, I'm through reading this thread, so if you want to bitch at me, you'll have to PM me.

If you are going to argue CYPRES in this incident, you have to argue HELMET as well. Caryn's helmet saved her life before her cypres did. I know we dont speculate in this forum, but I saw the bump on her head about an hour after it happened. Theres no way to convince me that she would have survived that whack to the noggin without a helmet. Also, the fact that she landed in a tree instead of the wal mart parking lot surely prevented further injuries. She did quite well for being unconscious!

There is a line forming to the left...

WRANGLERS... GET WRANGLERS... MODEL WRANGLERS FOR CHAOSKITTY...GRRRRR! Yes, thanks for clearing up "that guy in Pure Country".. I LUV me some George Strait. As a Texas girl who lives in Nashville.. what can I say? The best Nashville artists are the ones who came from Texas. The road goes on forever and the party never ends! (REK will never be a Nashville Artist)

Sure sista! I have no idea what you have in mind so PM me..

Consider yourself added to my list! Want me to bring anyone from Nashville with me?

That is absolutely adorable! Gonna have to try that someday.. (not with your guy.. I'll find my own!)

No sweetie, you should ALWAYS question.. there are no answers in "the flow". Sometimes there are no answers, period. vibes, lew.. feel better. Kristi

I'd like to meet anyone who wants to jump with me and drink beer with me. In that order. Sinker had better meet me soon, considering we're practically neighbors. Beauduke is going to meet me at the Mullins Halloween Boogie.. even if he doesnt know it yet. I'd like to meet Kevin922.. but I dont think he can handle it.. and I used to want to meet WrongWay, but he doesnt want to meet me so screwim! Anyone want to meet me in Vegas next weekend?? edit: okay so I actually DO want to meet wrongway. I cant live a lie!!!!!!!!!
