WAW, bouts of anger still spewing, awaiting the D.

[SH_]

Alright, so I wanna catch up with those of you that have been so kind to check in on me.

Phoebe, you are my guardian DB Angel and partner in crime. Thank you for being " her eyes" for me. I have many things that I could put that to, both appropriate and otherwise, but let's just go with it made me chuckle.
So grab that L friend or the other friend or your mother, or a child in the neighborhood and go do the indoor skydiving. You will not regret it! I promise.

SassySara,
You as well. I am not sure how old your children are, but I know they said 3 years and up can do it. I showed my d5 and she said she wants to try it. So fun, you won't regret it.

Lol I have to laugh because d17 was more terrified of the paintball and getting popped by it than the indoor skydiving. It does have a little sting to it, but you can get gear that covers most of you. My first time getting hit was right between my eyes on my protective mask. So other than the pain of embarrassment for being shot in the face it did not hurt. Of course d17 got hit right on her hand that was holding the paintball marker, and she made a cute little scene because it stung for a minute, but after she shook it off she loosened up and had a blast. We are trying to go again next week now. Good for a fun adrenaline rush. Quite the opposite of the anxiety adrenaline rushes we have become used to.

JksD, now if your heart is strong enough to swing on vines with Tarzan in your dreams, then indoor skydiving won't mess with the old ticker one bit. After you try it though, you may just want to float out of an airplane. I know it has really got me pumped to jump out of one. I don't think you would be kidding yourself to give it a go. The indoor one at least.

Cadet, it is an honor to have you pop into my corner of the community here. I am taking on your motto of giving new things a try. Why not, right? My youngest brother was a paratrooper in the army. He did all of his jumps up in Alaska. Says he wants to skydive as that would be fun compared to the way they jump in the army. All that gear, close to the ground, and the frozen tundra. He said he thinks he shrunk an inch after his time in.

Ginger, your story is both amazing, and well terrifying. Not the whole bit about it being a sign from God, but the fact that the chute did not open right. Wow. That should deter me a bit from wanting to give it a go, but your still here with us, so I still think my odds are better jumping from a plane than getting to and from work everyday on these crazy freeways I gotta travel on.
And you may have given me a good idea for proposing my next go around. I gotta break any bad mojo that may have popped up from your sitch. I wanna blaze the trail for future couples to not be afraid to skydive and then pop the question.
I am sure it goes without saying, but, I agree with JksD, you never would have known and the two do not correlate.
Still a great story though, the chute troubles and you lived to tell about it.

So just go do it ya'll. You will have a blast, I promise
