Amber, I was on Triphasil for years and can honestly say that I had no weight gain. I went off of it and on to Depo shots for the convienence but went back to Triphasil because as has already been noted here, Depo screws up your whole system. I did notice last year when I went off all...

Try this, it is pretty funny and reminds me of Madlibs that we used to do on car trips when I was a kid. http://www.wtv-zone.com/LadyBoheme/dearsanta.html :bunny: KC_Scubabunny :bunny:

My all time favorite website is The Onion. www.theonion.com Sarcastic humor at its best but don't check it out if you are easily offended. :bunny: KC_Scubabunny :bunny:

Good one Pete! Several people have mentioned that he has more hair than his dad already! Thanks again to everyone for all their congrats! He continues to do well off oxygen and I got to feed him for the first time yesterday. If he continues to eat well today they will remove the IV and...

Holding him for the first time this morning was the best birthday present ever and it made turning 30 less painful!

Jacob looks just like Jeff except maybe he has my nose.

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Our little guy had a rough first couple of days with fluid on his lungs but I am happy to report that he is doing well now and breathing without enriched oxygen. I am working with Walter to see if we can count this time towards his Nitrox certification...

Much like Pete, a childhood experience led me into community service and I have been at it ever since. I lacked a female professional role model as a girl growing up. My mom is a stay at home mom who never had any professional interest outside of raising 4 kids. Hats off to stay at home mom's...

Natasha, I like many others had the opportunity to travel extensively in Europe with just a US military ID card. I think my trip to Turkey in Jan 2001 was the first need for an actual passport. I did write an actual goal in Jacob's baby book that he will have visited more countries by the...

Barb, I don't know about all drysuit manufacturers but I know DUI offers a Demo Days close to here every year in April where you can actually dive in different suits and see which one works best for you. My husband did this last year and bought a suit from them as a result. I was pregnant...

I am not quite to 100 yet because my pregnancy hiatus has gotten in the way but I thought I would share my husband's 100th dive story because it was during Wreckmania and we were all excited about making it special for him. I brought my camera on the boat so I could get pictures of this...

Walter, I actually talked with Natasha about this when we first spoke about the trip. I was kind of hoping to do it before so I wasn't on task overload during that week but that may still be the best option. I will let you know. I am the kind of person who will need extra time on the math...

Jeff and I are both planning to get Nitrox certified prior to Wreckmania II. It was the one regret that Jeff had last year that he wasn't Nitrox certified. No one around here does it or has the capability to fill tanks so we had never really considered it. After talking to Herman and others...

I am with Dee that wild dolphins in Roatan are the way to go. We were there in Jan 2002 and had two wild dolphin experiences in the week we were there. I would tell your boat captain that you are especially interested in seeing them and they know where you are more likely to go. Regarding...

rcoxhorns, I am unfamiliar with GC? Can you tell us where Treasure Island Divers operates out of? I agree that your homeowners insurance should cover at least some of your loss. If your gear is stolen out of your car, they cover that. Please let us know what you find out. :bunny...

Mark, I happen to catch your original post before it was removed and I have to say that red flags went up for me because you were new and your primary sales pitch for the trip seemed to be "come go on this trip and fill a slot so I can go for free!" I understand that comp trips are a large...

199 more days until Wreckmania II and for those who are keeping track, 37 more days until my due date. Have I mentioned how much I want both to hurry up and get here? Glad to hear so many of you new maniacs have secured your spots. This year's trip did not disappoint and I wasn't even able...

Natasha, I have bad news for us, my friend Tami got offered a great new job but won't have enough vacation to go with us to Wreckmania. I am happy for her because it was a large raise but I really wanted her to be my buddy during the Wreck Certification dives. She is interested in future...

I know it sounds dorky and I have heard more than a few Pippy Longstocking comments but I find pigtail braids where the braid starts low near the top of my neck to be the most comfortable. My hair is relatively all one length so the braids trap the hair better than a regular ponytail would...

Dennis - You are correct. You should see the bozos that they let fly some of them! In the military the pilots only "borrow" the aircraft for missions but they are "owned" by the maintenance squadron so we tend to be a little protective of our babies. Very different from in the civilian...
