Hi Cinds. You don't need to copy it, just download the driver installation files from the net. To do that, you need the make and model of your printer (which will be written on it) then google for the drivers using the make and model. Download and install on all machines you want to use the printer with.

Skydiving. I'm terrible with heights. I'd just wimp out and say no. If you really are scared of heights it will be terrifying for you.

Sort your printer out.


Print out  a life sized picture of yourself. (lots of sheets stuck together should be fine)


Stick it onto some cardboard.


Send it up in a plane with the madman husband.

I would be terrified, but i'd hope i would manage it.  do it. You will feel great afterwards 

Cinds

1/ Go to the manufacturers website and download a driver from there

2/ You have to do the jump ....but you may need a VERY expensive new outfit to do it in

How the hell did he get you to say yes to that??

My hubby is a airplane hopping freak as well!     He has tried to convince me that it is "an amazing feeling" , "one of the best things you could ever do" "you'd love it"  loads of times.

He. Is. Wrong!


Back out Cinds...     think about it...  imagine THAT point... the "are you ready then love, get read to just fall out of the airplane door" point...  

noooooo way!

Actually, my niece, who is the biggest wimp ever, did a tandom dive in New Zealand recently.


She absolutely loved it, and the video of it is hilarious!

Dunno about the printer but back out of the plane thing! You couldn't pay me enough to jump out of a plane.

If I had to admit to Mr G that I was terrified of doing something like that, he would think I was a wimp and would take the piss for a few days.  But if I crapped myself, I would never hear the end of it


I can't imagine anything that would make me consider doing something like skydiving- were you very drunk when you agreed to it?

Thank you all for the printer advice.  I should have known that about going to the website, I think my brain has shut down due to the possibility of the sky dive.

As for the sky dive, I did a static line jump 20 years ago and to be honest I loved it, but 20 years on I have a child and think about the 'what ifs' too much.  However, I am going to be 40 next year and really want to do something ultra mental for me.  This year has been really shit for me personally and I have crashed down to earth with a really hard bang, so I think I might as well end the year floating back down to earth after free falling for a while.  

Plus, I want my risk taking husband who has tried to convince me for 4 years to do this, that I am willing to open myself up to his more bizarre suggestions (and there isn't many of them I am not willing to participate in). 

So there we have it, I think I am going to do this thing.  He is going to video it, and if I don't die I promise to upload it for all of your merriment.

Cinds ..... respect!

do the sky jump cinds. anyone with a fear of heights will realise that because they cant focus on anything on the ground from that height are less afraid of it and are wanting to do it again afterwards. the adrenalin rush will keep the nerves away.

can i upload the video of you up the spinnaker tower as well

Growly, strangely enough I wasn't drunk when I agreed, but jesus h I wish they would let you do it after a few vodkas 

Since I posted this, I have just sat and talked more about it with Mr C, and after what he said I want to do it more (although he didn't take to kindly to my suggestion of whoever I was strapped to taking me up the  wrong un to distract my fear) he says he wants to look in to my eyes as I jump.

Gyps, Spinnaker Tower video, there isn't such a thing we were both floored.

Thanks for the printer advice everyone. Skydiving? I would rather be called a wimp than go through that:

And a second one to wear after you've crapped in the first one

Apparently I'm booked in for this Friday, at Peterlee (which is really in Shotton - but lets not be pedantic about being thrown out of a plane).

Leccy if you hear odd screaming coming from the sky this Friday, it's just me. 


Pray for me everyone.

Cinds - I admire you but like Garage Joe I would rather be called a wimp than do that..

best of luck for Friday though...

I cant believe she doesn't remember the spinnaker tower video

Best of luck Cinds x just think of the stiff drink afterwards that you will be entitled too!

Good luck with the skydive, Cinds, you mad brave woman.

Don't jump!  There is a reason why they lock the doors of planes!

 SB trust me, him asking me to jump out a plane with him is NO WHERE near the most bizarre things he has asked me to do.  These are the reasons I love him 

I've been reprieved for a while, the guy who does the training cannot make it tomorrow *wipes 6 inch thick sweat off brow*  This might be for the best, he shouldn't tell me when I'm going to do it, just bundle me in the car and take me.

Not in a million years would I do that, I won't even climb a ladder never mind jump out of a plane.  You know when you get nervous and need a poo?  Well there'd be no loo in the sky.....

  

I'll stop eating solid foods until this is over, just in case 

Secure a bungee to the plane.

DO IT DO IT DO IT 

I've done one. Tandem from 10,000 feet and it was AMAZING. I was scared of heights until then. Getting on the plane is the worst part. After that the instructor takes control and basically.....when he pushes you out you go 

Freefall is the best part. I got mine videod and I had Chicane - Saltwater as the soundtrack 

DO IT DO IT DO IT 

your

Cagney, I'll definitely do it.

It was supposed to happen today, but the training instructor couldn't get there and then the weather would have made it impossible to jump anyway.

I'd never, ever do it in a million years. Don't even think I could do it if my life depended on it - I go all wobbly standing on a chair to change a light bulb. If I did though I'd have that soundtrack - great choice.

The weather today (where I am) is horrendous - bet you're glad it's been postponed - you could have ended up in Outer Mongolia ............................best of luck for when you do do it though

Thanks soozy 

Printer sorted, now just one thing left to do 

It looks like today is the day 

*gulp*   

Scrap that, weather is crap in Peterlee 

You could be waiting a while for it to improve

I know Saz   

Now I've agreed to do it I just want to get it over and done with.
