Bonne anniversaire a vous... Lindsey some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I do like to practice landing on clouds whenever I get a chance. That's very cool..... Popping up over the tops is fun.... ***Anticipating Flames***** Peace~ Lindsey some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Clay....I love you for your keen mind and sense of reality... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I started skydiving on my 28th birthday.....because I wanted to impress this guy that I had a HUGE crush on.....we went out there together, but he chickened out.....turned out to be gay too.....I made my first static line jump that day. It was kuhl....That was in '94.....so I married the guy who owns the plane.....got a nifty kiddo out of the deal 3 years later. Anyway......I LOVE the advancements in the sport....in terms of flying and equipment. But there are better people than me to give particulars here. I'm still a belly flyer, and though I LOVE my FX, I'm really not educated enough about the finer points of equipment advances to give any intelligent feedback here..... I think we are just on the front-end of advancements, though.....just testing the waters. But I don't know where it's gonna go.....I believe, though, that if we can imagine it, it will eventually be done.... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

oooohhhh....must we go there again..... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

hmmmm...cool.... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Ooooh....if they go that route, the really need to turn it into some high drama......like Lizzie catches him as he explores his sexuality with another man....(are he and elizabeth still together?).....she, with dark sunglasses and a marlboro hanging on her lip, slips into the equipment room........ some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Hey, Clay.....did ya' know that 16 is the age of consent? At least here in Arkansas!!!!! You ought to check the books...you may be able to expand your horizons!!!! some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

What the heck is flying mantis? I'm feeling WAAAY out of the loop..... Lindsey some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Okay, guys....In through the nose....out through the mouth....in through the nose....out through the mouth..... BREATHE! It'll be okay.... Relax.....you don't want to stroke out in your prime, now do ya? Peace~ Lindsey some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Good save.... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I don't think I've EVER seen a more beautiful baby! Congratulations! some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

...you're getting me all worked up again...... ==8-D Lindsey some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Bill is definately right about our sexual urges, if unchecked by our higher brain functions, would leave men to rape.....but of course would also lead women to consent.....It's the internal brain structures.....the "old" brain that controls these functions. The human cortex has evolved pathways that inhibit those primal drives. That definately IS what keeps our aggressive sexual urges in check. As far as pedofilia being a mental illness/crime. It is both. The fact that it's a mental illness is based on an adult's sexual attraction to a child....whether it is acted upon or not....if it "causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning." In those terms, it's based on the effect it has on the pedofile. The fact that it's a mental illness, however, makes it no less a crime. some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

very cool......good luck on the finals! some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I tried to PM you, but I really don't think it went through.... I'm terribly sorry if I frustrate you, but I tend to not get too uptight about most things....it's just how I am. However, personal attacks are not nice, and it did kind of hurt my feelers.....I'm doing quite well in medical school, and I assure you there is no big IF involved in my finishing..... My grandpa humor is very tongue-in-cheek.... and I assure you he is no danger, as many, many people look after him. The fire department's only had to come once....a few years ago....I'm just being kind of silly..... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I know what ya' mean, Billvon....in my social work world, I have testified many times in court against people who committed sexual crimes against children. Pedophilia is definately considered a mental illness....302.2 in the DSM-IV. However, the fact that there is no effective treatment tends to help in locking these folks up. For instance....people who "accidentallly" run over someone while drunk can often get sentenced to treatment, because effective treatment does exist....and they often reoffend. Sexual predators also tend to reoffend, but when caught, they're a lot more likely to get a prison term. some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Did somebody piss in your cheerios, man? some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Uppity Brits unite? ....or untie? or something...... BTW....did y'all see the Senate's (I think it was ink pens) with the typo that said "Untied States Senate" some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

oops....forgot to flap my eyelashes flap, flap, flap Lindsey some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

That's a pretty spooky thought. Another thought I have about it is this: I see SO many people who don't know how to pack a main canopy because the packer will do it.....I think that's incredibly dangerous, for people to know so little about their own gear. People should HAVE to hook up those new main canopies and learn how it's all put together....I think safety is increased more by improving jumpers' awareness and understanding of their gear than by regulation..... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I personally don't think that there is any correct answer to this. I think it's something that, hopefully, every parent who skydives thinks about and makes an informed decision about. For me, though I know there is selfish motivation, skydiving is too great a part of my life to give up....and I do want my child to grow up feeling that he can go out and grab whatever he wants from life....he learns that by seeing how his dad and I live our lives....As long as we survive skydiving, then all's well and good. That argument may not hold water with some 5 y/o kid whose mother died because she had to jump out of that plane.... Skydiving is not something that you pretty much have to do in order to make it in society....it's an extra, added risk (and a pretty huge one) that we take on simply because we want to.... some days it's just not worth gnawing through the straps http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley
