There was actually a second time after that experience?

Yeah. I just about landed on a plane.

If I had time I’d write the entire story about my first time sky diving. It’s a long story but in brief, a massive fast moving t-storm hit about 3-4 minutes after I jumped and with the fierce wind I landed about a kilometre away from the drop zone target and I was dragged clear across a farmers field as the wind was too powerful for me to collapse the chute. Thankfully the parachute got tied up in a barbed wire fence or I’d still be going.

My buddy was right behind me. He landed 11 miles away.

Oh dear god .

Haven't tried sky diving yet and after hearing your story...I'd still want to try it lol

Just don’t jump with a wall of thunderstorms approaching.

I’m not that brave. Have tried parasailing, that was scary enough for me.

I hate getting sick. Not just being tired but becoming very confused, even forgetting the keyboard alphabet and functions.

Sorry to hear that. Hoping better health comes your way soon.

I think it comes from a bad diet and not enough meat and vegetables.

Sorry to hear that. What kind of a diet do you currently have? I hope that you feel better soon.

I tend to choose foods that gain Air Miles. That way I get points to buy more stuff. Lately, I've had Creamy Orzo soup, but lately I've had ham sandwiches, fried red potatoes and rice.

BTW, Air Miles is a loyalty program in which one can either earn points for groceries or collect points for trips or merchandise.

Sometimes stress causes tired and forgetfulness. I’m no doctor but do I hope things settle down for you.

Not being able to lie down to sleep doesn't help, either. Thanks for thinking of me.

You can see much the same thing (with talking as well), on the 19 Crimes wine bottles with their app. And you get to drink some good wine as a bonus!

I read that Bub Slug started in the U. of A. Gateway. Not sure when, though.
