-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just because they've had the training doesn't mean they may competently practice with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bingo!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again, in every single profession, you will find people who are not doing their job. So, just because there are a few "bad doctors," does that mean someone who does not have knowledge of the human body is better qualified to treat conditions? And you stole fizzing lifting drink!!! -------------------------------------------------------------- I just happened to stumble on this and you guys are just cracking me up with your debate. I have worked in the medical field for nearly 20 yrs and some of my best friends are doctors. I can tell you honestly that there are more factors involved than either of you have mentioned to this point (and granted I have not finished reading due to the headache I am developing). Jean, has her opinion and she is entitled to it, as are you. But in the real world of medicine, insurance in currently in control. If your insurance will not cover it, then either you have to be willing to pay for it or our hands are tied. I also believe in alternative medicine, but any meds (natural or pharmaceutical) can be overdone/overdosed with extremely harmful effects. All of us being mature adults are required to evaluate our options and do the research ourselves. True, a lot of individuals are out to 'make a buck' that is the American dream. You have to take charge of your care. If you rely too heavily on someone else, then SHAME ON YOU! I can tell nearly 20 yrs' worth of stories where a dr was too cocky and failed to see something....a patient was too cocky and failed to hear or do something or just did something plain stupid...but that only opens individual cans of worms like you guys have done. In the end it comes back to you. After research, which course will you pursue? Will take the med or not? Only under rare circumstances will a dr force a med or treatment on you. The same with alternative treatments/meds. And some guy who has all the secrets for every dz known to man....come on. Who could that be??? Take Care! Live Well, Be Smart! Tammie Stepping off my soapbox...moving on to more interesting reading. Let's have fun! :)

Great job with the server! No probs this year! Looking forward to a GREAT time! Hopefully better weather! #2280--2 people! See you guys at the bridge!! Woohoo!! Tammie and Art! Let's have fun! :)

Crutch and I will be there. Let us know when. T Let's have fun! :)

I live in Florida and love it! I have a Tippman A5, RT with a flatline barrel. Loads of fun. Also have have a crank so it is like having a gatlin gun! REALLY spreads the paint that way. CAn basically clear a path! Also, good for far reaches. Not the lightest though. Tammie Spyders are ok...Autococker are the best! Let's have fun! :)

That did not take long! Punk! You are supposed to be talking to me...not looking to see what I write about you! Love You! Let's have fun! :)

I have been married for 5 years and divorced for 10. Decided I did not like the hurt that came from that and would make sure that the next one was worth the chance it may happen again. Dating someone now who may be worth that chance. Have to say that cause he might read this! Seriously, I am still very cautious and still require my space and time to think. I think caution and observation are important lessons to learn. When a person feels totally healed (or mostly anyway), then that person can decide if they are willing to take a chance on that kind of pain again. To make a person promise they will never hurt you is setting yourself up. Working on an open and honest relationship that is willing to work on 'bumps' is the best I can hope for....and is what I expect. Tammie

9,001 Let's have fun! :)

Sheesh! You are unbelievable to come so clean like that! No excuses or anything! I would trust you! Sounds like you are getting a ton of support and only one person is attacking you! I was there and as with everyone else heard the rumors, but when I talked to Tom, he defended you without using your name. Sounds like no one who matters is flaming you! You are a true man of integrity! Tammie

Sorry, my bad! I had to go back and look at it again...it does not seem to be hurting the package at all! Size DOES matter! LMAO!!! See you guys! Tammie Let's have fun! :)

Nice pics, Shane! Esp the Birdman one with you puffing your chest out!....hmmm..did not look that big in the air! LMAO!!! Oh, just kidding! Glad you had a good time! I really enjoyed flying with you guys! Get some people worked up about a First Flight Course and I will come up with some suits! Take it easy! Tammie Let's have fun! :)

Angela, You did an awesome job! You are a natural. You were so stable and immediately wanted to play! That was cool! I am glad they talked me into it also! You rock girl! Tammie Let's have fun! :)

You are so very welcome Dan! I had fun with you and your enthusiasm was definitely contagious! I look forward to visiting you guys in Atlanta! Tammie Let's have fun! :)

I wanna see..post it Jairo! T Let's have fun! :)

You are welcome! I am glad you had no major problems/injuries! You definitely need to post Eric's landing video...lol. You know, it is my job to harass you about flying with an eliptical canopy. But, of course, it is only a suggestion. In the end, you have to decide for yourself! Take Care Jairo! See you in Williston! Tammie Let's have fun! :)

Eric, Thanks! There were a total of 7. Had 2 more on Sunday but one had gimped his foot and the other felt too hung over to try something new. It was great gettting to meet you and doing some flying with you! I don't spend as much time on here as others apparantly, or I would have already posted. As it was, I went straight into work when I left Dublin on Sunday. Congrats to the new birds! You guys were a lot of fun! Add to your list Adam and Shane form ASC. Guys, I am you to gather more birds in Atlanta for me. I am drawing a blank on the other 2. Will get back to you with those names. Everyone did great! And Eric...uh...i saw the video, so you are SO BUSTED!! LMAO! Will be flying with you soon! Tammie Let's have fun! :)

Dublin was definitely the place to be! After a rainy start, it really picked up! I had a blast! Thanks for setting this up, I will definitely be back next year. Thank you again Chris! Also, Thanks to PD for sharing tent space with me! And to Lara from Alti-II for helping to watch my area while I was in the air! To Eric for helping when my voice was fading. And to everyone who came by to visit or inquire at the Birdman booth! I had a GREAT time! Tammie

Katie, Hey! Thanks for getting the suits to me! Lisa flew in the yellow/white small classic on Friday evening. The suits were on my table Sat morning and we rigged her up with your suit, but she chickened out so we had to take it back off so she could do that RW stuff! But everyone heard her when she landed! They don't call her 'Mouth' for nuttin! Tammie Let's have fun! :)

I had a two pet rabbits and they were not messy, nor did they cost much in vet bills. Of course, they were not very old when my dog ate them either! Let's have fun! :)

Say you didn't do it! That is just and optical illusion right??? Let's have fun! :)

Girl! How many times you gonna change that pic?? Can't you be satisfied?? Let's have fun! :)

Dude! You really need to find something to do with your days off! Aren't there good clubs in Palatka?? There is always the Hi-Level...I hear there are some rather...umm...voluptious??...full-figured...uhh..rather full...uhhh...'interesting' chicks out there that may help you bide your time. But if riding around on the runway, in the golf cart, at the wee little hours of the night does it for you then...well have fun! sheesh! T Let's have fun! :)

Sorry to hear about your injury. I sometimes wonder what I would do with myself if something stopped me from jumping...then I have a few beers and try to forget thinking about it. I would definitely have to find another release. I am not sure what your injury is, but I hope you find your serenity whether in the air or through another means. Blues! Tam

I cant BUH-LIEVE the nerve of some guys! They tried that same strategy on some of us girls in the Keys! Damn they get around! Bastards! T Let's have fun! :)

12 seconds up! Time to go at it again!! T Can you believe I actually sat here and counted???! Let's have fun! :)

Nice pics! It must have been a very good friend! You got whipped cream....mmmm....yummy. Tastes good even coming out of the ear! How did you get that plate to stick to yo head like that??? T Let's have fun! :)
