Scott: I did get your PM, did you get my e-mail and attachment? Remember, no hurry whenever you have time to kill (rainy day). Thanks a bunch! Diva

Sniff, sniff . . . I think I smell a toolie! Seminary (Snarf, cough, choke)! HA-HA, good one! Diva

Alright!! [high five, pictures on the way] Did anyone notice how he completely overlooked the time, sex and winner thing yet again? I dare not hold my breath, or I'll pass out. Diva

Aaahhh, thank you for offering!! I thought there was a coloring book option in paint, but that must have been an earlier version, because I couldn't find it anywhere on there. Even after all the erasing that I did and drawing lines back in, it wouldn't let me dump color into each of the canopy sells. Any other takers? Diva

Uhhmmm, you forgot three things here. Girl or Boy Time of Birth Who won? Diva Congratulations to mom, dad, and baby . . . now, you know we expect to see pictures of this beauty! Diva

Can I get a volunteer for a redecorating project for my office? I'd like to make some skydiving magnets to decorate my old metal file drawers in my office. If I send someone a picture of a skydiver under canopy, can the color be taken out, leaving a black and white version so that I can color the canopy and the skydiver in the colors I choose? I tried this in paint, but it was a lot erasing and I ended up deleting the lines stuff. More time and effort than it was worth, I'm sure there's a better way to do this. So, if you're day is slow and you don't have anything better to do than mess around with a pic . . . let me know. Diva

Uhh, any word yet? I know darn well they didn't let her go a full 24 hrs. of delivery? If they did I want to say far, far away from that hospital! We want to know . . .boy or girl? Weight, length, any hair, good lungs? Hope mom and baby are doing fine and resting up .

PRICELESS!! Thank you for passing that along! I will follow in your footsteps. Diva

Hmmm, first baby . . . . maybe a long delivery . . . but, then she's being induced . . . I'm still going with a long delivery and guessing 8:38 pm. (central time). And I'm guessing it will be a boy. Diva

So Michele, when is the OR staff going to come out for a jump (recruiting right up to the surgery were you)?

Pammi, I work in a very conservative job and I tend to stand out just a bit around here. I replaced my tongue bar-bell with one of the plastic bar-bells because I was beating my teeth with the metal one. I have a pink one that you can't even tell that I have in unless you really, really look close. It's all about getting your foot in the door first, then you can let your hair color change every month and your piercings show. Best of luck with the job hunt, I hope you'll find something that you'll enjoy as much as jumping!! Diva

Geez, Clay where did you get that I needed someone 24/7? I'll re-read what I typed, but I think you read something that wasn't there! Besides, sheep need a lot of attention, don't they?! If you're looking for a fight, buddy . . . I'll whip your ass!! < oh wait, you'd like that> Diva

It sure seems that a lot of us are paddling the same boat. Let me see if I can maybe shed a little light from the other side of the story. When someone you are dating is not around because of their job, family, whatever . . . There is an emptiness. So you fill the void with your friends, you go out and have fun. The first question out of everyone’s mouth is always, “where’s _____?” (You would think after months of the same question and the same answer they’d know the routine as well as you.) Now more than likely, half the friends that you end up going out with are single and not currently dating anyone. So, while they’re meeting and hanging out with these incredible cute guys, you’re left trying to stay your distance and remind yourself that you’re already in a relationship. (I personally don’t have a hard time with this because when I’m in a relationship, I’m in it with that one person only.) Then there’s the other half of your friends who are in relationships. And you get a glimpse into their lives and what they’ve been doing together. Going out, hanging out, vacationing, spending time together, yeap, pretty much all those things that you’ve been missing out on when you and your S/O are not able to be together. And when the two of you are together, you start asking yourself, where exactly do you fit into this persons life. Where in his life do you come in? Are you a phone call at the end of the day (and I do mean end of the day - like it’s a last minute thought), how about dinner or you can come over and we’ll hang out? So, you start to ask yourself where’s this going, is this relationship going anywhere? Is this the way it’s going to always be? Is this what you want? Are you happy doing this? Do you deserve more? And sooner or later you come to the conclusion that this is not what you want, you do deserve more. You are responsible for your own happiness, no one else is going to serve that up to you. You can’t change people, you can’t make them feel something they don’t, and you can’t make them happy (ultimately they - like yourself are responsible for their own happiness). So, maybe it is truly her and not so much you. If it’s too much work, then it’s not right, move on and find someone else who you can share your happiness with. But, don’t listen to a thing that I have to say . . . what the hell do I know! (Hand on cutaway, bikini packed and ready for the beach.) Diva

It's not green and she's missing the little sign that says "stay off grass!" Diva

(I looked over to the left) Umm I was looking so good I couldn't reject myself (I looked over to the left) Umm I was feeling so good I had to touch myself (I looked over to the left) Umm I was eyein my thighs butter pecan brown (I looked over to the left) Umm comin outta my shirt and then the Jumpsuit came down Diva

I cannot be the only one who noticed that Screamer is showing this child his one-eyed-monster!! Diva

Geesh, that first girl has her's trained really well, it can drink from a straw!! (snicker, snicker) Diva

Emmie: Hmmm, let's see, first jump from the cessna . . . released with one hand before the other and my body turned, I ended up hitting the step with my arm . . . jump went to hell in a handbasket. Second jump from cessna (hop & pop), good release, dearched, pulled head down. Third jump from cessna (repeat hop & pop), again released one hand before the other, but nowhere near as bad as the first time, hit finger on step, dearched, jump once again went to hell in a handbasket. Forth jump from cessna, released, arched, lost arch flipped and pulled on my back. I'd like to think it was the cessna, but sh*t, it's just me!! Yes, I do prefer the Otter (hug). Diva

[mumbling under breath] hmmph, damn talented people! Grumble, grumble!! Hmmmph!![groan, sigh] No advice here, I can't draw, paint or anything like that. But, I admire your work, it looks great!! Diva

Michelle, congratulations and happy birthday! I know exactly how you feel! Only I thought I had it all covered when I went out and purchased an MP3 player. I figured that my son could help me download the music, etc., and get me started. Not so! The two of us finally gave up after a couple of hours of toying with the computer and MP3 player. I had it for about 3 weeks before I marched myself back into the store and told them, if they couldn't get it to work then I wanted my $300 back. I felt even worse when none of the guys knew a darn thing about it and how to get the music to transfer from the computer to the memory stick. Finally, one of the guys said, let me try something. He ended up getting a song to play and then we had no idea how he did it!! We figured it out, but it was nothing like the directions that came with the darn thing. I love the little thing, I have music when I walk, jog and exercise now. But it was certainly frustrating when I didn't have music and was out $$'s! Enjoy your new toy! Diva

WOOOOOW-WWOOOOOWWW, Clay finally got some!! Diva

uh ....man? [duck and run] Sorry guys, having a bad day, but you can buy me a beer and I'll be better in no time at all! Diva

Except for the getting married part, girlfriend, I know exactly where you're coming from! No it's not! Sad, pathetic, yes . . funny, no! AMEN to that brother!! Anyone have a solution other than sheep? Sure I bet they're warm and fuzzy to cuddle with, but I like someone who can carry a conversation as well. Help!? Anyone?! Diva

Nothing like sharing with a friend. Tell your friend that you'll be able to jump as well that day. I'm betting that person will ask if you want your rig back, so when they do, just say "well, if you don't mind we can take turns." Will that work? Even a couple of jumps are better than no jumps. Diva

Oh, oh, me, me!! Can I fax you my resume?? I can type, skydive and I'm nowhere near your grandmother's age. But I warn you I'm trouble with a capital T! How do you feel about redheads? What you need is more Virgins, I mean Virginians in Boston! Diva
