How awful for you and your mom "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

A heartfelt thanks and prayer for all who have served, and what they edured on and off the battlefield. A special thanks for their families as well...they serve too. "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

Welcome...like Skymomma said, take deep breaths and try to relax - it really helped me not to buffet in freefall and keep a good arch. Good luck! "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

After looking at her picture a few times, these come to mind: Daisy Bella Cookie - I'm leaning toward Cookie for some reason. (I knew a cat named Streudal!) I wish I had some advice for the introduction process, but I've never actually done it so I'll have to leave that to others who have, but good luck. I'm sure it will all work somehow. "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

Ohh...so sorry to hear about Harleigh the lizard I know you haven't had her long, but is there anything else you can tell us about her or her cat personality? It might help with the name search. I know she is feisty, and had some bad fleas, so all I'm coming up with now is 'Feisty-Flea'...which sounds like a bar name, not a kitty name "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

I should name her CoraKitts after you. Or maybe St. Kitts... Or Saint (although she is NO saint for sure). This little ball of fur is fiesty! *** Corakitts is sweet. I was thinking since she's been through a lot already, she's a tough girl. And you did say she was fiesty... and you ride a motorcycle, don't you??? How's about Harlee? Whatever you name her, she's lucky to find you! I love it when people rescue

Solid advice. Even check with the DZ if you could complete your Cat A and/or Cat B via the tandem after your FJC. Then you get hands on instruction for canopy flight, landing and you get some experience in terms of a neutral body position and the exit. ...this sounds like a good plan to me. Skybitch, Aggiedave, and Diablo have more experience than me so I won't try to add to their advice...but I do want to say congratulations! You're going to rock right through your AFF. You're already so mentally prepaired with what you want to do. I had not one thought of how to approach this sport except to consider wearing a Depends my first jump, and give my TM earplugs because I knew I'd scream all the way down!. All I knew was that I wanted to jump out of a plane for some damn reason...and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my life.. It will be the same for you...you'll love it. So you are waaaay ahead of the curve. Good luck and welcome

What a good daddy.

Mctucky.... Yeah, this isn't sooo bad. I don't know how long you've been in this area, but if you around here in '79 (and are old enough to remember), w/the wind chill got to be -100 to -120....not Iceland, but close enough for me "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

That is Chicago weather (or as Jaye puts it 'Chi-freakin-cago')! I can't imagine what would make me wanna camp out in this kind of weather...so watcha' up to?? Whatever it is, I hope it's fun.

I would use the age-old excuse teens/young adults use..."it's for a friend, not me!" "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

Voted for your girls...hope they win!

I've never heard it put this way before, but as soon as I read it, it instantly rang true...I think you're on to something there. Nightengale, I'm glad you're looking out for the little one. "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

My deepest sympathies to his family and Lucy. "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

Occasionally, that happens! "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

[ So sorry....it was a great game. "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

was is Yes, dear broken one...it is a good game! Uh oh...intereception "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

he's overrated. Not a Favre expert...don't know, just enjoying a good game since the Bears aren't anywhere. Too bad you're not rooting for a good team. I don't watch much football to be honest. I do however have a favorite team... Anyone who plays the packers. Hmmm....well, in that case there's only one phrase that will fit here, let's see...how does it go... I read it somewhere recently - oh, yeah: Fuck you and gimme a beer! You said it wrong... no beer for you*** That's O.K., don't like beer anyway!

Umm....I'm a gal, but you're welcome just the same! "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

I'd never seen that one...can't imagine how long he worked on that. The part with the baby hand was sweet.

My heart still belongs to the home team (Bears), but in the abscence of the home team having a season, gotta cheer for the next closest team...tonight I'm a cheesehead!

O.K. I clicked on your voting clicky, and voted, and was told my 'hotdog was launched' "...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort." Kbordson

The last picture made me laugh out loud! Too cute!
