Trying to make like Casper and walk thru doors huh ? When I was 4 or 5, my aunt had butterfly stickers on her glass slider. I ran right into it, running all out for the pool 20 feet beyond the door. Thankfully at that age, I didn't have the mass to shatter it. How do you fall up the stairs?

Superglue and fishing-line with sewing-needles are your friend. I've superglued/sewn myself/friends a great many times. As long as you clean the wound with betadine, the needle with fire/alcohol, and the thread with alcohol...

I opened my front-door once intending to exit. Realizing I'd left my keys on the counter 2 feet away, I turned around to grab them. Turning around again, I forgot the door was half open. I kicked the corner of the door barefoot with substantial force, dislocating my pinky-toe 45-degrees, and found myself rolling on the floor, crying like a sissy-bitch .

It's very tasty

There's a burger-joint called Tommy's in CA, known for their chili-cheese burgers. Also on the menu is a sausage sandwich served on an English-muffin with chili, chesse, egg, pickles, tomato, onions and mustard. When I lived near a Tommy's, I'd often have 2 of these for breakfast with several hot chili-peppers and a large Mountain-Dew. Tasty

Tihs is smoe fnuny siht!! My mom eamiled tihs to me 2 or 3 yaers ago, and it's sitll fnuny!! Add to the euqtaoin taht I'm sreuosliy dsyelixc and tihs deosn't look mcuh dffirenet tahn wehn I laerned how to raed!!

Hmm, seems like whatever training they'd do for that would benefit us for hard landings. Then again, I find running shoes to be a little sticky for skydiving.

Isn't that called BASE?

Oh yeah!!! I had a half-pound of bacon, 3 eggs, and washed it down with an Amber-Bock.

That stinks . I was 26 when I got to Korea, so that really didn't affect me one way or the other. It did suck for Andy tho since he went from one of the more active drinkers to always getting the standby-phone during parties.

Sorry, wrong spot

When I got to Korea, the drinking age was 20, then they changed it to 21. A friend of my got royally screwed by that. He effectively had his 21st at 20, became an alky, then they cut him off . CC basically told him not to drink in front of him and to watch his @$$.

Penis

Been there, done that. Very often I got most torn up during the week and took it easy on the weekends. Go hit the bars or crack open a few beers in the dayroom after work. In Korea, they have a 3-liter limit on how much booze you can buy (alcoholism/black market). A few times I sent non-drinking friends to the store to buy it for me, or bought soju in town.

Going to be in CA next weekend. I might hit Elsinore or Perris on Sunday with some friends wanting to do tandems, time/weather/ops permitting. Would love to meet some local dz.commers, maybe do a couple 2 or 3 way rw jumps. Whether I get to jump will depend on how the resident instructors feel about letting a 30 jump student loose on their DZ.

N/A

I used to drink a lot of liquor, sometimes still (vodka, gin, whiskey, rum). Choice mainly dictated by what's on hand to cut mix it with. Tonic or juice gets vodka or gin, coke gets rum, sometimes whiskey. Sometimes mix whiskey with coffee or tea (Irish coffee/tea). Sometimes whiskey straight. I used to drink just to get drunk, now I'll just have a couple beers, usually Corona or Guinness. I wrecked myself bad enough, enough times in Korea, that I've just lost the desire to do that.

Never been hard in the jump plane. I have sprouted-wood on commercial flights, wondering what it'd be like to jump at 40k .

I'd complain at the desk, maybe get a discount on the room. I've had waitresses neglect to ring me up or wait too long to bring the check. If they bring a bill and drinks didn't make it on there, that's their problem. I've left a left a 20-spot (or whatever I feel's appropriate) a few times for drinks that I waited too long to get a check for.

I found so many things out about myself meeting my bioparents. It's kind of fun to see personality traits that are genetic and those that are a product of my upbringing.

My biomom thought about the same thing, which is why I was born in Detroit, rather than a 20min drive away in CA. She ran away and went to stay with her sister when she was pregnant. Bioaunt reasoned with her that adoption was the best course of action, and my folks got me at a week old.

Quote Agreed. My bioparents really wanted to know me, still do, but it was essential to meet them on my own terms My folks told me before I was old enough to understand, and for that I'm SOOOO thankful. Amen!!!! It is tough, but not knowing would've royally fucked things up between my parents and I. I've been there too

I use to do that too, It is a shame to hear he does it at such a young age, it will get worse for you through the early teenage years. If i can give you a bit of advice.... DO NOT get counselling cause then it WILL get worse cause he will lose trust in you and believe you are against him. Do NOT give him what he wants when he starts saying things like that cause you will not give him what he wants. When he is 18 try and find his mum. He sounds like me, will meet his mum and then realise how good of a family he has and start treating you right. No matter what, he does love you, he does feel bad every time he says those things to you when he calms down. Tell him a story of his mum being homeless or something, anything that will put him off wanting to meet his mum for a few years but DO NOT ever let him think his birth mother did not love him. I say this, cause what you described is how i was. I love my family and relaise what i meant to them when they adopted me. Yes, yes, yes, and yes!!! Everything he said!!! I did the same myself, probably at 10 or 11. I felt so guilty about that for a really long time. I was unable to accept their help in locating my bioparents when I was 18, I had to take that journey alone at 25. Jon, the best you can do for your boy is reassure him that his curiousities are natural. That they will be addressed at an appropriate time, but not today. That you will answer his questions to the best of your abilities in the meantime.
