    Got vertigo? Go hug yourself!

    I have an doc appointment for next Friday. I'm going to get an RX for Flonase (sp?). I'm not sure, but I think it's some kind of steroid. It takes about a week of prescribed use to build up and have a noticeable effect for me. After that, just 2 squirts each nostril in the morning and you're...

    Got vertigo? Go hug yourself!

    Somebody earlier said they got vertigo from a reverse squeeze. Would this be possible to get in an 8ft pool? I have pretty bad congestion due to allergies. During my OW class, I was kneeling on the bottom of the pool (head was probably around 5ft max), we did our ascent skills and when I got to...

    The True Cost of Water

    By higher bill, I meant cost per volume. The wasters create my previously mentioned scenario or more expensive water. The conservationists are then paying more money per volume unit. Unless of course a tiered billing system is put in place, so that higher volumes are increasingly more costly per...

    Just began OW with PADI

    My fiance and I had my first of two pool days yesterday. 3.5 hour sessions, 3 students + the instructors wife tagging along for a refresher. The mask flooding is what I am least comfortable with. I have a mental block against exhaling through my nose into water. I have to focus and it tends to...

    The True Cost of Water

    "Using all the [resources] you want" is wasteful and costly no matter how the resource is procured, or it's available quantities. In this case, lets assume the desalination plant is operating at 100% efficiency and is entirely solar powered. If the population starts using water w/ reckless...

    The True Cost of Water

    That's a dangerous idea, and is exactly what is going to destroy the planet as we know it.

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    Booked my trip today. I don't get vacation time until January so I booked it for June 18-24. Wedding is the 16th so it will give us a day to recover from the reception and possible after-party. And pack our bags. I'm uprising her at the reception during my groom's speech. Next step, sign us up...

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    I'll check orbitz once I get the details on how I can redeem the $1500 for a room upgrade, and what else they offer that newlyweds might be interested in.

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    Well I haven't called because I haven't been told when my vacation time starts yet. But they finally replied to my email. We'll see how how this form of communication works out. Between work and being around my fiance, I haven't had time to call them anyway. Stay tuned for updates.

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    Anybody have issues getting responses back from the Coz Palace via email? I went through the 'contact us' form on their site on Saturday. Then Tuesday morning I sent them a direct email using Gmail. No responses to either yet. Searched through my spam folder. I'll probably call them Monday if I...

    Retaliation against dumb boaters & fisherman

    Growing up around sailboats, I have determined that everyone operating a power boat has their head up their asses, until proven otherwise. People in sailboats think since they aren't travelling fast (relative to power boats), and don't have a spinning prop they won't hurt you. Also, they think...

    Dehydration - is it really *that* bad?

    In Boy Scouts, they told us if your pee is yellow, your aren't drinking enough water. :D while not entirely accurate, its not a bad rule of thumb.

    Invasion Central

    To add to the discussion, when I priced tickets from Indianapolis to CZM during that time frame, they were roughly the same price ($650-700) whether I flew through Atlanta or Houston. Wrap your brain around that one.

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    What orbitz coupon? I'll have to look into this, and how sites like these effect the $1500 credit. It may make me ineligible. I don't have a whole lot if time to research this stuff at home. The fiance doesn't know I'm planning a honeymoon at all. Living in a small apartment doesn't get me much...

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    In the terms and conditions .pdf, it says you can use it for room upgrades. 6 night upgrade to an ocean view is roughly $700. That's the big thing for me.

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    My LDS is primarily a scuba pro shop. I didn't see any other regs available in shop. I dont remember about the rest of the equipment. I was hoping to be able to try out a variety of brands before deciding on one. Is it rude to test different equipment from a shop you're vacationing with? I...

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    That'd be nice, but I'm trying to stay as close to $3000 as possible. My vacation time doesn't cover OT, so I'm essentially losing 20% of my regular paycheck with my existing dates (which are subject to change). Normally not a huge deal, but we're closing on a house a week after we get home...

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    Small update. Just to keep a log of my planning. I can't get a direct flight to CZM or CUN in my price range from the 3 major airports around me. I have a tentative itinerary setup from Indy to CZM with a connection in Atlanta. 3 hour layover on the return trip. I've never dealt with Atlanta...

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    That's awesome! I don't think it'll help me for this trip but I'm sure it'll come in handy for future trips. Also, my dates have changed due to vacation time at work. July 4 - 10 now. I don't think that'll make a difference, except maybe cheaper airfare (midweek vs weekend).

    June Honeymoon in Coz

    Thanks for the info! This is the first time I've tried to organize a trip like this myself. The transportation arrangements have been my biggest struggle thus far, considering it's critical to the trip. Hotels and dive shops don't have the cost swings that airfare does.
