No.....we're diapointed that YOU haven't posted them up yet with sayings like...."Look who I got to dive with.", or...."Ahhh, a great day to be alive.", or "Ghtfdr kngh igsbfh ojdbgvf...."

So, now I'm pointing a finger at you....POST 'EM UP !!!!:D

Asking her permission...I doubt she'll mind. How's that for not having your ducks in a row!

Tease.

Attachment 7086

She said OK on this one...She wants artistic control on the rest (she's a dirrrrector now). The other pics have her boyfriend in them, I'll crop and get approval.

It was difficult to look her in the eye. My daughter said "I was dieing to ask her if those things hurt."

Set the Tivo for "Dangerous Isolation" on Lifetime Network in the next few months. Hottie's Boyfriend had been filming in Grand Turk and my daughter got a big speaking part as a police dispatcher in a last-minute "fill shot" (killed the afternoon dive): "You can't do that! What will the Chief say?" She got a pina colada and a manicure out of the deal. Not exactly big budget cinema; I don't' think she'll get a SAG card. We just missed the skinny Baywatch babe, the only one on that old show without bolt-ons. Can't remember her name -- she was the heroine of the movie. We did meet Nick Turturro from NYPD Blue. I have no idea what the movie's about but the release said it was PG rated for "theatrical violence."

Edited: Oops, I don't know how the "attached thumbnails" got hooked on here but I can't remove it. She sent me that one in the return email but it's not from GT. She needs new trousers.

Okay, hottieness is as stipulated, despite what would appear to be, ahem, cosmetic improvements.

You never know, some people have the strangest tastes.:D

Good taste on your part by not posting anything offensive. We do have rules here.

Roger on the modesty, Sir. That one is more modest than some pics of her in the restaurant. Hottie was actually a very sweet transplanted Wisconsin girl. Even our old island friend, Miss Ivy (an iron-rod, foundation-garment wearing, Pentacostal force of nature if there ever was one) liked her in spite of how she dressed. Boyfriend was very nice too, even if my daughter once had to give him a sharp elbow shot to the solar plexus. It was...reassuring...to see how she handled herself.

MW - God bless you (and her) for sharing (especially her!). You get extra points for having her contact info (and the courtesy to ask before sharing). It's nice to see Wisconsin is still a "wholesome goodness, dairy products state" with a generous export program. Though I'm still trying to figure out why she'd put up with a boyfriend so crass as to deserve an elbow in the ribs from your daughter. As for snorkels - I said I hated them and would go to great lengths to avoid using them, not that I didn't carry one. Your Belgian "buddy" would have had a field day with me. (Just another flavor of Frenchman.) I carry a standard snorkel and a full complement of survival/signaling gear whenever I'm on the open ocean. (The same way I never jumped from a USAF fixed wing without at least web gear, even on admin Sicilly jumps.) I dive wings almost exclusively and keep a full sized snorkel under the bungees, out of the way yet easilly accessible. It's more durable, less breathing resistance, fewer failure points, and CHEAPER than the collapsible ones. I'm impressed you carry as much as you do and that you pre-checked your daughter's equipment. That's rare in the recreational dive community. Your story about the bounce dive doesn't surprise me in the least. If you hear of them succumbing to their imprudence, please send me the details. Mike Ange is a friend of mine and I'm sure we can get him to squeeze it into his next book.

x SF med - Good old SF MAROPS. The Danish school was mostly a 10th Gp thing and I was 5th, 7th, and finished DOTD, SWCS. (Not bad for a guy who can get seasick standing on the beach watching the waves come in.) It's one of the few things I'll actually throw the SME card for.
