Hi All
I hope it is Ok for me to jump on this thread. I always read but have only recently started posting again.
I couldn't help to post after reading Greenies post. Hang gliding and picking up hitchhikers ( I thought it was a person at first). Scared me that we might need to call an Invervention!!
It reminded me of this summer when I went parasailing in Key West. My son and I were on a trip down there and he wanted so badly for us to parasail. I too thought I am not getting any younger, I have only so many more vacations with my 15 year old son, and I might as well shorten the bucketlist. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Great view, really peaceful and something special to share with my son. Another completely sober decision that I will never regret.
Have a great day!!

OK, THAT was grand!!! I had a ferociously good time!! Honestly, it is easy-peazy! The hard part is making your brain hush up - that and walking backup the dune. I now have my own little hang gliding log book! It was just me and one guy who was also doing it for the first time. He said he had been thinking about it for years, and asked me how I came about to be there. Ermmm..... saw the sign yesterday....

I could not ask for a more beautiful day! Deep blue cloudless sky and a nice cool breeze! I'm in for a quick lunch, then off to Pea Island for a letterbox and to catch the sunset. After a game of frisbee with the dogs....

I know what you mean time2! I loved parasailing!

[quote=Doggygirl;809683]Where are all the others on the "lost" list Greenie posted yesterday? COME TO THE MOTHER SHIP!!!

I'm here!! Thanks for the call out. I do read the thread from time to time but I've been off on an anxiety spiral related to my flatshare. On reflection not a good reason to stay away.

The good news is I signed a new lease last week so my own eviction is no longer in the cards (but that was uncertain for 3-4 weeks). The bad news is we found a really nice guy to take up our third room but our idiot landlord rejected him, on really spurious grounds and after a drawn out traumatic process of checking his references. The other bad news is we're back to square one in terms of finding a new person and until we do, we'll have to pay extra rent. But the other good news is that the rejected guy has really grown on me with each interaction, and connecting with him has made me realise I might be ready to start dating... Well, perhaps. I mean *might*. As in maybe. But seriously folks, I've had nothing resembling even a flicker of an interest in such a scenario for the past few years. Something is definitely shifting in the energy levels.

The parasailing/gliding sounds fab!
