Thanks for s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g it out for me.

I concur. I get so dizzy on the swings, I enjoy it for a couple minutes, then have to sit on a stable surface for a bit or longer. It is so much fun to swing though. :)

You spend a whole week with MSrs and nationally recognized experts in all areas, from cog to swimming. I did it many years ago and still use things I was taught there. They have scholarships and they are generous with them.

Check it out: http://www.heuga.org/programs/can_do

Also, you are in the right place if you want to ride! Look at Breckonridge!

AMN, thanks for the reminder. Back in Ohio when I was in better MS shape, I had gotten a scholorship there, but couldn't come up with the cash to get there. Since I now live out here, it has never occured to me. :Doh:

I guess that is why I'm not master of the obvious. :winky:

:hug:

I should mention for others that they bring it to cities all over the country. I did mine in MI and it was an extremely positive experience.

what's keeping me from repeating - the stress! My MS is so quiet, I'm afraid to wake it up. That includes: skydiving, roller coasters, and having a kid!

What would you like to do and why aren't you doing it? (ie, what can we do to convince you to go for it ;) )

Hi Greta,

Last week I had an offer to go skydiving for free. This young handsome salesman that comes into the office every year selling us advertising offered to take us up, and we'd jump tandem with him. I pondered but said no. DH would have a cow if I did it, I know... :eek:

My youngest son would want to go with me though.... :D

My oldest brother learned to skydive in the army. I can still see his wistful smile describing it to us around the kitchen table when he was home on leave... :)

Now, I'd like to start writing and maybe write a book someday. What's holding me back is inspiration and energy. Maybe when I finish with my classes I'll give it more thought.

Wiz, as a single girl, I have no concept of getting "permission" from anyone else when I want to do something, so please forgive my ignorance here; what is DH's problem with you doing something you genuinely want to try doing? You wouldn't try to make him do it too, right? Jumpmasters take very good care of their novice clients, and let's say you twisted your ankle, well, okay, you won't die and it will be a pain for a bit, but hey! you went skydiving for cryin' out loud!

If you have something on your heart that consitutes a book, you'll write it, I have no doubt! You are a driven, dynamic woman and there is no reason to miss your opportunity!
