Thank you for posting this article. Take a look at www.joy.org, too. They rescue children who are forced into brothels. Talk about "the least of these"...

Ditto. How obnoxious! I'll remove myself from the site as well if this continues.

Home schooling is a tremendous opportunity if done correctly and for the right reasons. I home school both of my children. My oldest daughter is getting ready to go into one of the service academies, has very high SAT and ACT scores and is the Cadet Commander of a Civil Air Patrol squadron. Her Blue and Gold officer is extremely impressed with how well- rounded she is. My youngest daughter has been home schooled for three years, does exceedingly well academically and is also a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. Not only have both of them excelled in their schooling but they are light-years ahead of a majority of their peers socially (maybe it was spending so much time at the drop zone!). They are well-rounded, well-spoken, respectful and a pleasure to be around. I'm not just boasting - we are told this time and again by their friends' parents, people at the places they work and volunteer, tutors and coaches. For us it's been the best decision we've ever made and socialization has NOT been an issue. In fact, I think schools today are a breeding ground for negative socialization.

Very nice. I love hearing about other people's dark sides! When can we expect Volume II?

Hmmmm....Not sure if I'd go so far as to say that skydiving is "safe"....

Spicy Tuna Roll for lunch, my first C8 jump today, Hangar One Vodka Martini tonight while looking at Dropzone.Com. Can it get any better?????? PS Bellagio in LV has a GREAT sushi bar!

Did my first C8 today!!!!! Wow! What a totally cool experience! All I did was freefall and maintain a heading but for the first time was able to be totally aware of the earth flying towards me. I'll never be the same again! Can it possibly get any better?

Hello! My husband and children gave me my first AFF jump as a Mother's Day present. I had asked for windsurfing lessons! I wasn't sure I'd like it but decided to give it a try. My life has changed forever and I can't get skydiving off my mind! I've been impossible to live with. My husband is an AFF student as well so we've had a very interesting home life for the last few weeks! We'll be doing AFF 4 this weekend. Really glad to find this site - what a great group!
