  • What if my tandem master jumper is old and has a heart attack when we jump?

    What if he is suicidal?? Or homocidal???

    Those questions actually stemmed from a dream last night!!

    Seriously, I am cool about this jump! The more I think about it the more I want to do it...and now! But half the fun of these kind of adventures I think, is the anticipation of actually doing it! After tomorrow...it'll be over! Then what will I have to look forward too? I'll have to think about that...my life is not going to stop there!

    Tomorrow I have also tagged for a weigh-in. I have been relatively good this week, so hoping for something good there. Although, last week and the week before weren't so good.

    Vonni, it's good news! At least you know where you stand now, and you know what needs to be done! Happy for you mate

    Most of us seem to be doing well at the moment, that is great! And I think it was the Christmas Challenge that has inspired us! Well done to who ever it was who suggested that!

    Alright, I got a walk to do!

    I'll try to drop in (pardon the pun!) tomorrow at some point!
  • woohoo lindor i bet u cant wait. do do drop in and let us know how u went... and WE WANT PICS.
  • Good luck Lindor!!!!! Cant wait to hear all about it!!!!!
  • Popping in to report my weigh-in at 91.2kg! That's down 2.1kg since July 9 (two and a half weeks ago).

    I am happy
  • thats alwesome lindor. how did u do it?
  • wow well dont lindor you got very close to the 90 you wanted for the jump go and enjoy it... wooohoooo its going to be amazing to be up in the clouds and flying down ....
  • Congrats Lindor!!!
  • Woooooohoooooo!!!!!!!!

    What a ride!!!

    Jump was absolutely awesome!! Very invigorating!! I loved every second of it!!

    And my tandem master jumper was...nice...very nice!

    Apparently, he brought Cathy Freeman in on a jump here not all that long ago too!!

    I did get a DVD done, but it needs to be fiddled with or something and then they will mail it outr to me...will try to get pics from that when I get it!
  • I am spewingly jealous Lindor! Can't wait for the pics!
    I hope every one had a great weekend. I did - but I wish it was like Lindors!
  • How fab Lindor!!!
  • Woohoo Lindor! Congrats on your loss and on your jump! Sounds like you are really buzzing

    I feel sick at the moment. I've got a super busy day ahead of me at work today and have just realised that I've made a fairly major f**k up. Need to talk to the boss and hopefully find a way around it. My stomach is in knots.

    Last week ended up being a very lazy one. I didn't go to the gym on Friday or during the weekend so that = just 3 days with exercise last week. I hope to do better this week but can't even think about that at the moment I'm so bl**dy stressed about work!


  • Good luck with work Julia...often what we think is a major f**k up turns out to be something that can be easily resolved. I hope the chat with the boos makes you feel better.

    Can someone explain to me how one can be on such a high one day and the next be dragged down to such a low?

    Yesterday was awesome for me.

    Today I have a rather unwell dog, and I suspect when I take him to the vet shortly the news is not going to be good. He is 16yrs old and had a funny 'moment' on Saturday but pretty much recovered from that after about 20mins. Although he wasn't entirely himself yesterday, he seemed ok. This morning he appears to be in some pain and he is not touching his food or water. In fact he is curled up in a tight ball on his bed.

    He gave me a scare back in March where I was certain I'd be advised to have him put down. Although he was in no apparent pain then, just very weak, the vet advised me to take him home for the weekend and say my goodbyes. But he came good again. So now I am too scared to make that kind of decision...in case he might come good again this time.

    If he'd just pass away in his sleep I'd be ok with that...but the though of having to decide is killing me.

    And sitting here waiting for the clock to tick over to 8am so I can get into the vet is driving me mad!!
  • My dog is in biventricular heart failure

    And still I couldn't bring myself to have him put down. I hate myself for that!!!

    He isn't living...he is merely existing. He is deaf, he is blind, he is incontinent, he has no teeth, now he doesn't have the energy to stay awake for more than an hour at a time! What sort of person lets that suffering go on??

    So now I am prolonging his life by shoving a fistful of pills down his throat every day until he eventually dies!

    Cruel!!!
  • Julia . . . I feel for you on the work stuff. I hope you and your boss were able to come up with a way around it. These things happen to the best of us.

    Lindor - I am so sorry about your pup I hope things went ok at the vet. Hugs.
  • Oh I just saw your post . . .

    Am sorry sweets, x
