"Who Let the Dogs Out?" There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I would, too (hence, why I did the Crisis Line thing.) Let's say that someone is born into miserable conditions whether that's poverty, disorder, etc. They are depressed because of it. They are in pain constantly. Their parents would've chosen to have an abortion, but they were forced into giving birth. I'm definitely not one for advocating suicide. But if you're going to force someone to be brought up in horrible conditions, what other kinds of options do you give them? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

This is probably an insanely gross question, but I am curious. How do you feel about suicide? If someone was forced into being born, was brought up in miserable conditions, and didn't want to live, would you support them in ending their life? If they were forced to be in a situation which made them incredibly depressed, should they have the right to end their own life? I can understand why people don't want to see women having abortions. Many people think that it is wrong. I think there are lots of things that are wrong, but it doesn't mean that these things should be illegal just because they go against my morals. Not that I think the government should ever tell a woman what her reproductive rights are, but if a government isn't even willing to provide birth control or pap smears, why should they get to pick and choose which parts of the reproductive process they control? Heck...birth control isn't even over the counter. And let's not even get into the lack of sex ed in schools. I doubt I would ever have an abortion. Some of my good friends have, and that is 100% their decision. I would've supported them no matter what they chose to do. Their lives...their bodies. They knew that they were making the best decision for themselves and for the fathers. I do not see how their decisions have to do with anyone else at all.

Any plane Opie's in! I like the C-130 idea someone had! I also like the sweet spot on the Skyvan. SDC's Super Otters are awfully nice, too..... There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I want to have fun. I want to see as much as I can. I want to do as much as I can. I want to make other people's lives better. I want to go to New Zealand. I want to give as much as I can to my nephews. I want to learn....stuff. I want to go to Alaska. I want to be a better person than I am now. I want a beer. I want to laugh A LOT. I want lots of stuff, but I have everything I need. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

My favorite is when people say that they're for abortion only in the cases of incest/rape/harm to the mother. If you are okay with abortion in the case of rape, you are either forcing a person to file a report (which means do you let them have an abortion before the verdict comes out?) or you force them to have a baby. I had an acquaintance in college. She was raped, and got pregnant from it. She had an abortion, and she didn't file a report (she didn't want to be put up on trial, too....she was drunk at a frat when it happened.) These are her choices which I did not judge her for. She did what was best for her. All that said, I'm pro-choice. No, that doesn't mean I think people SHOULD have abortions. I think they SHOULD have the choice to do what they want with their bodies.

NONSENSE!!!! We were going to have a Good Vibes boogie, and our goal was to get people to orgasm! There is ALWAYS a goal! My goodness. I'm straight...well, basically. It's fun to kiss women (does that mean I'm going to Hell or shouldn't have kids?) But the Rainbow Boogie sounds like fun, and I'd go and have a blast if I can afford the time off work. I really wish my life was SOOOOOOO good that I actually get UPSET when people who aren't like me are going to have fun. If that's something that actually concerns you, consider yourself lucky. Other people have concerns like where to get food/shelter or having to watch a loved one die/get sick or one of many other things that make life suck. Other people having fun does not make my life suck. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Thanks so much, Katee! I hope I can be half as good of a coach as the people who taught me. You'll be a fantastic coach! And Jeff, I'm not THAT kind of coach...well, not for money anyways. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Whether someone teaches you how to go headdown, how not to backslide, or just how to relax and enjoy, getting over big hurdles has a pretty profound impact. I'm sure most of us will always remember the moment that we learned how to finally do something, and we'll remember that person who got us there. So, for you, what made the instructors/mentors that you had in the sport so great? For me it was always the people who seemed to care. I seemed to do better when someone else would get just as excited as I would when I would accomplish something however small or large. It also helped if I could laugh with them, since that usually relaxes me.

It's a sharpei mix...I'm not sure what it's mixed with, though! And just for Slappie....(I want to make this the FLUFFIEST thread EVER!) It's the kind of thread that just warms your heart! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I have never heard "pinga" used for that! EVER! But, it's kinda funny considering what my family's name is. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I think steamers are more puppy-friendly. She will lose some of the wrinkling, though. Even better!!!! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

After months of not having a dog, my parents couldn't take it anymore and bought a little angel Pinga (I think that's going to be her name....inspired from one of my nephew's favorite games.) I told them that they should get a dog from the Humane Society, but they went with this little ori-pei instead. She is a very cute puppy, so I just thought I'd share!

From my knowledge "domestic partner" benefits also apply to same sex couples. That couple just needs to be living together for a certain amount of time before it applies. Should I be bitter against married couples or people who have children because they're getting extra benefits that I'm not? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Can I run with your clique, John? Or is my suit too pink? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I'm the same way. I don't need gifts, and I was raised to believe that I don't need a man for money (I never let guys buy me dinner or anything like that.) However, it is just fun to buy people small little things to make them smile! My friend just gave a Flying Spaghetti Monster shirt, and I got him Dress Up Jesus (these were our Christmas gifts to each other! ) Now, I love FSM and all, but I would never think of buying the shirt (maybe a coffee mug.) But, I love it! He wouldn't have bought Dress Up Jesus, but he laughed hysterically at it. No, gifts aren't a requirement, but they sure do make life more fun.

"I choo-choo-choose you!" When I was four, I discovered the wonderfullness of conversation hearts and told a boy I loved him with one. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

There's never a DAMN thing wrong with PRESENTS!!!! And any day which signifies presents is okay by me! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

That is such a cool story!

Somewhat. But not completely. I've never strived for acceptance, nor have I ever cared. If I'm accepted by a group or not, I have no real clue. However, I will agree with a lot of what Deuce has said. I have learned so much in the sport, and there will always be a certain bond with people who have mentored me. What I find so cool about that bond is that even after not seeing them for so long, it feels as though no time has passed. And I find it especially cool how I keep learning from these mentors (for example, a couple that had mentored me at 20 jumps, well, I'm going to take a coach's course from them soon!

4 in 850 jumps First one for unintentional CRW (canopy collision) Second one (4 yrs to the date later) inentional CRW (broken lines) Third one was line twists (on a 70-something way, so people found my stuff!!!! cpoxon is my hero) My last one was a stuck toggle (riser flaps came open while I was headdown and lines got tangled) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
