I personally hate being labelled.

1) nah, you're not being picky - just reasonable towards your own future sanity 2) no, actually I wasn't - I was being genuine: if you can't find the guys locally maybe you need to look a little further - who knows? what do you have to lose? (oh, and my grandfather met my step-grandmother...

try handwashing the suit (wearing gloves) in your bath, using sterilising powder that is used for cleaning baby's bottles you could just be allergic to the finishing rinse that they put on the suit after manufacturing, or the perfume/aftershave/body lotion that the person who tried the suit...

As mentioned before, in the UK it is very hard if you are over 35, or not married, or single, or limited income to adopt a child. It is even harder if you are an ex-cancer sufferer because the queue is so long you rank low on the priorities. It is very unlikely that either woman in the case...

maybe you are being too picky - there's never a MrPerfect - he just doesnt exist. but as I said before, you shouldnt settle for "wha's available" just because it is there. it is way more likely that they guy you are looking for is not within 900 miles of you. have you ever considered a...

ASB - but you have been through the pain and you do understand the pain & loss. Sorry, I was not saying it's an either/or situation, but more that unless you have been through it personally yourself (oneself) you (one) would not understand. I am sorry you have had to go through it. Myself, I...

Hi Mrijana - very glad to hear you're ok. Sorry for the delay in response, a power surge from a tropical thunderstorm fried my modem! I suggested you go see a doctor because according to my (conservative) BSAC tables for the altitude difference you made & the dive depth & dive time (DT to me...

Yes, I do. Please go to a doctor. Take your computer & dive profile & depth level measurements with you.

hahahahaha - assuming I ever become pregnant........ ......... how did you ladies that have been mums maintain your fitness during pregnancy, so that you didnt turn into big huge unfit whales by the end of your pregnancy? At the moment I swim & cycle regularly, and do weights to maintain my...

what level above sea-level did you leave from and return to? you may have altitude sickness, you may be experiencing DCS. please go to a diving doctor straight away and get checked out.

sounds about right then ~ 10% of total body mass for salt water + suit For your first dive back in KW I would if I were you wear 30lbs on your try-out dive and let the instructor/guide/marshall know that you might need help. If you feel overweighted - eg you keep sinking slightly - then drop a...

Hey everyone - thanks for all the experiences! In my research I found this information from the UK organisation BSAC about last year's decompression incidents: http://www.bsac.org/techserv/increp03/decoincidents03.htm Makes for interesting reading.

Tricia - thanks!

as I tell my girlfriend (the one I mentioned earlier) never settle for what's available if it's not what you truly want because you will only end up hurting yourself even more. I think we've all been there & done that at some points in our lives.

hun - I hear you.... I'm just trying to kick your butt (badly) so you realise that the discouragement is more the situation than you. and I think you do realise it, but it is easier to blame yourself than the ex. it is a truly ****ty situation to be forced to stay where you don't want to. I...

I do all of this each and every time before I dive, even with my own kit. Except I don't purge the reg, I breathe it down. That way I can check when the real OOA reading is for this particular gauge/hose/tank combination. I always check I can manually inflate my BCD. Especially at resorts where...

(sorry - just got to butt in here - but I love your knickname!)

yeah, them doctors are really.......ooops......:eyebrow: hope you're on the mend
