Nehlly, God do I want to kick your arse! :11: Your 42? and that's old? you silly woman, you are not even halfway through your life yet and you are giving up? get a grip! You so much remind me of a friend of mine - lovely lady, pretty, intelligent, outdoorsy ~ 0 self-confidence. Always...

I don't know personally - I've never tried it with a dry-suit. But I know it is meant to be capable of it, and I know of an instructor who uses hers for both wetties & dryies - she just adjusts the waist band in or out (by up to 6") as she feels necessary. The girl in my club also swaps out...

gotta agree with alcina - check & see if you are near any rivers with +/- 50km, as the fresh/salt water mixing can really play havoc with your bouyancy.

Kim - I agree and it is good now to be able to have that choice. I wonder if the couple in question did sign the disclaimer and that is why it went to court? You really have to go into these things where more than one person is involved with your eyes wide wide open. Kim - have a chat with...

Kim - something your research may not have shown you, but you need to be aware of, is that any operation to the female abdomen (eg appendix removal) and in particular to the ovaries is likely to cause significant scar tissue. This scar tissue is the most common cause of infertility - blocked...

I LOVE mine too :07: (I got the luxury version) girl in my club loves hers as well waist adjustable, sports bra thing rather than chest strap, very comfy, integrated but releasable and non-releasable weight pouches so no more weights on hips, mostly wing/back inflatable with a little bit...

Kim - ok - I look forward to your research, because one documentary is not something one should base one's entire opinions on.

Kim - this procedure has "just" been successfully carried out. But it is the first that has worked after over 15 years of thousands of failures. It is an absolute last ditch resort. The procedure was carried out on a teenage girl who had no male partner who consented to be a father. It is not...

Bouyant1 - if you dont mind me asking - how heavy are you? How is your general level of fitness?

oh, just for info about the surrogacy issue - it's not actually legal in a lot of countries.

God forbid that you lose your two natural born children. I would hate to have someone say "deal with it" to your wife. Would you say it to your wife? "Hey honey we've lost our kids, deal with it". No? I would hope not! This poor woman's feeling of loss is very real. However, that doesn't...

salt water also has wicked/evil updrafts better over than under weighted I am positively bouyant even in fresh water - I can float on my back. I'm skinny and only weigh 55kg. In a 3mm full body wet suit I need to carry 5 kg of weight - ie just under 10% of my body mass to descend...

his?!

oh, how easy to say adopt when you have your own children. unless you go through the pain of infertility you will NEVER know the pain of loss. you can empathise all you want but platitudes are meaningless if you have not been through it yourself. back to the original posting: most IVF...

hmmmm..... an allergy rash wouldnt last that long though, whether it was sweat, neoprene allergy, or washing powder. were you given any steroid/anti-histamine cream for the rash, and how soon after the application did it help?

honestly? may not be a popular answer..... but I think you should start to seriously reconsider if your hobby is viable.

by the way - did you get checked out for skin bends?

6'3"? how tall are you both? how tall is the grandfather that your son most takes after? I ask because my grandfather was 6'8", other was 5'3". My father is 5'6", my mother 5'4" (from the 6'8" dad). I am 5'6". My sister 5'9". My brother 5'10". Unless you are both significantly taller than...

another contender for the Darwin awards.

Nope - nowt to do with fresh water and everything to do with the bacterial & fungal soup called a "public access swimming pool". :11:
