I jumped my gimpy ass about 2 feet up, and 3 feet back, all the while holding a pizza to avoid getting hit by a car.

Is it possible for you to appreciate a woman athelete just because she's damn good at what she does, without introducuing sexuality into it?

You're new here, aren't you. The answer is "no." I'm pretty sure if I suggested that he look up a photo of Holley Mangold (for example) the response would be something indicating how she (or actually, she might not even get a "she" she'd probably be referred to as "it") deserves to die or live a miserable life because she doesn't fit the mold of what a woman is "supposed" to look like. Doesn't matter if she's contending for a gold medal, she should just crawl in her hole and die, apparently.

Of course, Shah's far from the only one on this site who would have the same reaction and total lack of respect for her accomplishments.

hahaha more like Shah / others would be afraid of her! She'd take Shah down in... one... two... three... LOL

,Any idea how far the DZ in San Diego is from downtown San Diego i.e. clubs and bars etc?

It's about a half hour's drive, or you can hop across the border to TJ.

but in perris it was like pulling teeth to get people to drink beer, and I dont even think they have a fire pit??? Wtf???

hahaha sounds like Perris. The Elsinore Vibe is so much better imo. Some will argue otherwise... There are strong feelings from both DZ's. LOL

g

Perris
- active jumping weekdays / weekends
- wind tunnel if you want or weathered out
- bar
- swimming pool
- bunk house (cheap accomodations)
- couple hotels nearby, reasonable rates
- nightlife surrounding dz is so/so
- tail end of dust devil weather

Elsinore
- 2nd week of October they will be coming down from Chicks Rock Boogie (too bad - GREAT event), they try to keep the planes runnind during the week but it's based upon the number of jumpers around. Weekends they are busy
- bunk house (cheap accomodations)
- hotels nearby with rates around $69 - 100 per night
- nightlife is better than Perris as far as proximity to different bars / rest, etc.
- tail end of dust devil weather

San Diego
- jumping weekdays depends on the military training going on . Weekends are good
- bunkhouse
- nightlife meh ~ the DZ is pretty far away from anything
- consistant landing pattern / winds

Honestly speaking if you're looking to turn and burn AFF I'd suggest Perris. If you're looking for relaxed down to earth AFF I'd go with Elsinore. If you're looking to escape for AFF for 10 days I'd go with San Deigo.

Have fun, and THANK YOU for your service!!!

The phrase "Register to Resume or Retain Citizenship" refers to a process by which women could regain US citizenship after losing it because of marriage to a foreign man. The law that women would lose citizenship in the first place by marrying a foreign man was repealed in 1922--that law belonged to a different era before women won the right to vote--so that is well before even your grandmother's time and doesn't apply here

Yeah, I'm comfortable in the knowledge that she won't lose her citizenship, unfortunately she is not... so I'm sort of grasping at straws to find some law to validate this to her. Although that law is old, it is something she can read and rest easy...

She isn't really interested in Canadian residency, and he has severe dementia - half the time he doesn't even know who / where he is - so him filling out paperwork to sponsor her is pretty much out of the realm of possibilities. She just isn't ready to leave him in a home in Canada, and the Dr.s have said he is not healthy enough to travel.

She is so funny, she seriously thinks the Police are going to hunt her down when her Visa expires and deport her... Wouldn't that make for great TV headlines "87 year old woman torn from her dying husband by the Canadian authorities and deported to the United States"


Silly sweet naive Grandma...

I've been trying to research this, and next step will probably be contacting the consulate, but wonder if any of you have any insight....

Situation.. My Grandmother is a US Citizen, My Step-Grandfather is Canadian. Each have maintained their citizenship in the past by living 6 months in each country.

They are currently in Canada and my Step-Grandfather is very ill, and unable to travel back and forth any longer. My Grandmother does not want to leave him, but fears she'll lose her citizenship / or get kicked out of Canada (Visa)...

I've tried to calm my Grandmothers fears, however at 87 years old, and without specific facts she is scared stiff.

...Maybe I'm viewing this from a too simplistic point of view.... but wouldn't it be as simple as my Grandmother getting an extension on her Visa, or just crossing over the US Border, and returning. Without her losing her citizenship???

I guess essentially what I'd like to find (to pacify my Grandmother) is some sort of medical emergency law that would grant her additional time in Canada with guarantee her US Citizenship is safe.

The only thing I was able to find was if a US Citizen was "living" abroad and considered to "take up permanent residence," or acquired the nationality of the country, the person would still be eligible to "Register to Resume or Retain Citizenship" within one year.

Give me what ya got / know peeps.

(insert fine print: I will only take the information as a baseline for futher research, not as gospil - CHILLAX)

Damn! Girl! You're much worse than Skymama! I didn't think that was possible!

teeheee

I also sliced off the top of my thumb while slicing cucumbers at Sizzler. If the injury wasn't enough, they sent me to the hospital with a girl who gets faint at the sight of blood... I thought I was going to die in the car ride to the hospital...

Fell off a roof, two inch laceration on my left leg, mild concussion, and f`d up back (in bed for 4 days).

Fell down a flight of stairs, broke 3 toes.

Fell down a flight of stairs, injured back.

Numerous cheerleading falls, 3 concussions and a mild contusion.

Car bashing, slid on the underbody of the car into the wheel well (car was upside down), 3" laceration to my right leg.

Leg wedged between a curb and corvette exhaust pipe - 2nd degree burns to the back of my leg.

Not really an injury, but one of my not-so-bright moments... Overdosed on sleeping pills (I was 4 years old), passed out in my pancakes.

Was sledding down the street in the winter, one of the neighborhood boys broke my nose.

I had The Rainbow Connection stuck in my head today, which then lead me to this thread...

Not sure why my mind associated Kermit the Frog and Shannon Maybe it's the lyrics... Keep dreaming, keep loving, and never give up on rainbows.

Love and miss you much Shannon!

Damn I just looked, I just passed my 10y anniversary! WOW!

The date on your profile is from the new forum migration, which happened at about that time...

Quite a few of us were around in 2000 and 2001 (maybe under different names too! lol)

Yup, had to pull up my old profile to find it's been 11 years for me.

Have met some of the most wonderful people from DZ.com, and had some incredible experiences along the way.

Oh, and Lisa after all the years of moderating pro bono dealing with all our shit, I think HH will waive the pimp fees in lieu of the work

I voted Boobies...for your husband. As for the Brat. I second Skymama's approach. If that doesn't work. I will happily knock him into next week for you. I was on my own at 16. Art Student pfft . Let me at 'im.

You might want to let him read some of these posts.... He might find out how lucky he is to have you as a step-mom!! I'm just saying?

I was actually thinking it may be more productive to have his Mother read them... although knowing her it'd probably backfire and she wouldn't get the point, she'd just yell at the kid.
