    That reminded me of Wally Schirra (played by Kristi's adopted actor Mark Harmon) taking the same ride down from the top of the Apollo spacecraft in the drill in the "We Have Cleared the Tower" episode (#3).

    I've promised a co-worker I'll go skydiving with him sometime. I'm actually looking forward to it.

    It's OK Teri, you can run the camera!

    Cheer: I'll bet Kristi would be up for it, besides, she would get to wear a wing.

    JY: I had that same thought when I saw it. I actually did one jump when I was stationed in Pearl Harbor in the Navy. I'll post about it sometime.

    Oh hell yes! I am all over that.

    It's a good thing aparthied is over, so my political objections wouldn't have made me seem chicken.

    Compared to lawnchair ballooning, this is a freakin' snap.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Let me rephrase that... I would love to live my life on narcotic pain killers.  But I can't, because on occasion I need to think and shit like that...   For those of you into the mechanics of the back, the red arrow shows the lack of a disk between L4-L5, and the two blue arrows show the disks that are bulg
