Works with New York - London, too.  Does not work with several west
coast locations I tried.  Hey, its spring break and I can't spend the
whole thing diving.

Thanks --- I have my TEE test tomorrow morning and my cardiologist
will see exactly how big my PFO is and where it is located.  He will
use that information to decide what closure device to use then we will
schedule when he will fix it.

Damn girl, you gonna let a little think like a blown o-ring keep you
from diving?  Hell, you need to move to Kansas so that you can at
least have an excuse for not diving...

Well, we joke about it, but doctors do use staples and tapes for
menting certain types in incisions these days... The staples feel a
bit funny coming out though -- personal experience...

Oh I know this as well --- when I had brain surgery back in 2004 I had about
30 staples zipping up the back of my skull.  You can see the surgeons
handiwork here :

OK, you've got me beat on the number of staples... The best I can tell
from my scar is that there were around 12-15 staples in there... Of
course, I'm pretty sure that I have you beat on total feet of scars...
I'm probably around 5 ft total so far thanks to various compound
fractures and other such stuff from motorcycles... As I always said,
if you can keep the head in one piece, they can glue the rest of the
body back on it... I was tempted to get a zipper tatooed onto one of
my scars many years ago...

Well I have been pretty busy with this recovery  thing this past 10
months or so ---

I am still going to therapy 3 days a week 9am - 3:30 pm.  I'm not
driving yet, but I hope to be soon.  I am riding horses again in a
once a week theraputic riding lesson.  Thats about it from here ---
just keeping busy trying to recover and get my life and mobility back.

I still own tekdivegirl.com, but for now am just parking the domain as I
have nothing to put there.  Mickey's domain expired the year after he did
and I felt no need to renew it.  I also own www.divegirldesigns.com where I
store some images and will be putting up a webdesign business site sometime
in the future.  As you may have noticed in my signature I have
www.thinkpinkscuba.com as well --- a webstore that focuses on PINK diving
gear!

Interesting... I tried it with both FireFox and IE with the same

Nor I, but I was curious what Kimber has been up to lately... Of
course, I probably should block the site so that Kaitlyn doesn't
accidentally find it and I start getting bugged by her for pink dive
gear... <grin>

In this soap opera of rec.scuba we finally find out what happened to Black.
After a little cutting and snipping we see the new Black.  Interesting, who
would have imagined?  (Tune in to Ugly Betty this week for a new episode and
see how Alex looks after his accident.)

What happened to Bradly is no mystery either.

That's not it... I tried enabling everything after the first time it
failed and I still got the same result... The problem is not my router
or cable connection since using one of my other machines, I am able to
access it from the original URL and I can see how she's creating
frameset with one frame of zero size and doing the redirect in the src
field of the other frame... I've tried flushing DNS via the "ipconfig
/flushdns" command and reregistering it via "ipconfig /registerdns",
but no luck... Kind of strange that I haven't seen this on other
sites...
