  1. otorhinolaryngologist - pompous term for ENT specialist The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  2. "Herniated vertebral disc" is quite a general diagnosis as the amount of damage, the location etc are to be considered. There are other options, but these depend on the number of vertebrae (or vertebral discs) involved. If it's only one there are some other methods available. Two discs, usually one on top of the other, pose more problems. If conservative therapy doesn't help one might seek medical attention from highly trained specialists, but I dunno if this is covered by Australian MediCare as such specialists might opt to exclusively work with private patients. Long story put short: Hope you heal well and if not, ask for other options. Fusions often lead to further damage to other vertebral discs (called Etagenwechsel = "changing floors" in German) which might be prevented by daily exercising (see Twardo's post) Good luck!

  4. Hehe, I liked your old avatar pic better. This one looks like a "Funkenmariechen" (Rhine Carnival Majorette so to say) Some pics and this one (you'll need to have it translated by Google, though) provides some background info as the customs goes back to the time the Rhine region was occupied by Napoleon... BTW: Came to mind as the Carnival season is about to start here. (I'm dreading it.) The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  5. Why? Most of the rest of us say Gesundheit! I'm puzzled. I thought you use it the way we do it in German*: If someone sneezes we wish "Gesundheit". But if someone burps? Funniest remark is "Ein Schwein ist satt!" ("A swine if full/done eating") but the burper usually gets much less charming remarks... *Yepp, German, not Germany. 'coz folks in Austria, Switzerlands etc also use "Gesundheit!" this way As for the random fun word: "Grundgütiger!" (God Gracious!) has become a stylish/hip/fancy fun word because Sheldon uses it (Big Bang is being aired dubbed here, you know.) It sounds much more funny in German as it's quaint and most folks here are not religious. No offence intended to anyone who is religious! The sky is not the limit. The ground is.

  6. Hmmm, I use Opera and can keep an eye on tracking sites etc with Ghostery. It only lists 5 tracking sites; that's about much the average of social sites AFAIK... So I don't see any real need to complain. The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  7. Our skydiving themed artwork was baby style, with smiling happy animals jumping and under parachutes, lots of pastel colors.
  8. Why not At least better suited than the D-FREE Girls Calendar which exclusively belongs to either the bedroom or skydiver's study (as in my case) But back to topic: Why not. But I'd rather stick with flowers, teddy bears bunnies etc. The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  9. Wow, that's truly amazing. Thanks for sharing. The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  10. Thanks, mate. The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  11. You've never really been part of the union, never really wanted to be. I also think it might a good idea to say goodbye to the EU. I will have to present my passport, might even have to apply for a visa, but that is it. So cheers and Tschüss. We affirmed our friendship with France yesterday, btw. They don't wanna leave the EU The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  12. Smirnoff, that's just stylish, "hip" white stuff burning in your oesophagus on its way down to your tummy If you want to taste some exceptionally good vodka look for "Zubrovka" Polish vodka with a blade of grass in it. (I hope the link works as it contains diacritical signs...) If ya wanna taste real Russian vodka do NOT look for any of them stylish brands and/or bottles with the "onion" look (like the "onion towers" of Russian Orthodox churches), just look for simple bottles with a simple label on it. Best one but ought to be hard to find in 'merica I suppose. The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  13. OMG! What disturbs me most is the way he ...well, it's not really a pattern and that he obviously doesn't pay much attention to other jumpers (who obviously fly a clear pattern) Or the way he crosses the runway at only about 100 feet. Sigh. The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  14. Yeah, really funny. Found this gem on the side panel. OK, I've always been fascinated with ducks, so hey... Don't wanna elaborate any more to avoid remarks about fellow skydivers (Note my tagline, btw) The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  15. What did you really expect knowing the folks around here for quite a time? Bikini briefs or short boxer panties. The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  16. Nice pic, tnx. Do they also deliver in Germany? One thing though: Shouldn't it read "beerkeg"? The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  17. We're just late bloomers... Erm, you're a late bloomer as in... clicky? The only male Lesbian I know of is Eddie Izzard. Just kiddin'... The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  18. If you want to have a really big and strong and RELIABLE car of very good quality then how about the Amarok? Fahrvergnügen! The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
  19. There isn't a country named Europe. Italy and Spain, for example, are notorious for bad driving and drivers who are very hot-tempered. Mainly in the bigger towns. It's different in Germany or the UK. You might run into blockheads in bigger cities and might encounter well-behaved drivers in more rural areas. You may adjust your lights to point a little more down, might save you lotta flashing exchanges. (The switch for it is usually easy to find even in rental cars. This opportunity has been available since the 1990s in almost any cars around here...) If someone flashes me I usually flash back (just a short tip on the light lever) But happens not too often. OK I drive a Skoda Octavia. Very fine and reliable car Aw... chances you got Xenon lights? Even if they are adjusted correctly, they are bloody bright. Nice for the driver but if there's rain or only drizzle, it's a nuisance to the ones on the other lane driving towards you. But I never flash Xenon lights, there's no point in it.

  20. Isn't the Internet fantastic? It helps you find people who are like you. Now I know I'm not alone. Got my wife to come 'round for a gathering now and then at the DZ but she doesn't even wanna look up, makes her shiver, feeling dizzy. Not to talk about she never ever will jump with me. That is life. OTOH I'd never ever attend a concert of her favourite band "Pur" (German folks know what I talk about; things put short: Band with 99,9% female audience aged 20 to 60+ ) So we're even, huh?

  21. Did some searching, found another interesting one (clicky) Checked her channel and watched other videos and was shocked to learn how much hate and violence is inflicted upon human beings who don't "fit" the narrow-minded point of view of some stupid folks just for being "different", check this one.

  23. A scumbag here killed four young people when he crashed his car into theirs; he was under the influence of both alcohol (0,165 per cent) and cocaine. The young folks had a designated driver, did everything right but their small car couldn't compete with a 340-horsepower Beamer. Scumbag's lawyer even "reasoned" the young folks "should have tried much more to avoid my client's car" etc. Scumbag got away with 3 years 3 months, didn't even serve it in full (clicky) Look here The sky is not the limit.

    Nice calendar...

    The new year is already a few days old, but I found this calendar by chance. Really nice body painting in a new context: Metamorphosis Leaves room for ideas about "mushrooms", "branches", "trunks" etc for a 2014 calendar for the ladies. The sky is not the limit.

  25. Just asking: Isn't "crossroad" the correct British English term? You forgot that 'mericans will also have to read Harry Potter books in British English The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks
