I think it was Son-in-Law or something like that. I thought it was a funny movie. Then again, my friends don’t really allow me to pick movies out anymore. On another movie note, I did watch The Holiday this weekend and it was GREAT! The little old man was such a hoot; you really must watch that if you haven’t already. <BR/><BR/>As a former cheerleader, I consider myself an expert on the boost up. I am here to tell you it can and does fail! Picture this… Practice begins in an old gym at 9pm (because cheerleading isn’t a sport and therefore not important enough for scheduled gym time) The team is tired, they have been in class and worked all day now it’s time for practice. There is a new routine to be learned and it involves the boost up! Attempt one – The knuckles slip apart mid-boost! The flyer slides down the back of the base and lands on the booster. Attempt two – To much oomph! The flyer over shoots the base and lands on the front spotter. These mishaps occur all the time in cheerleading practice. Usually not in public due to the fear of the next days practice if a screw up occurs, but in practice all the time. <BR/><BR/>However, I guess you could argue that the frequency of the boost with cheerleaders is far more than the general public and therefore should happen on a more frequent level. Same reason that people who drive all day have more accidents that the rest of the driving population 60-70% of their day is spent on the road compared to the 10% of other people. Wow if I could ramble like this on my own blog instead of your comment page I bet you would like that more… Ok I’m going now!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124456600330677049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-22918992171989846762007-08-14T08:15:00.000-05:002007-08-14T08:15:00.000-05:00I never quite mastered the boost up either on the ...I never quite mastered the boost up either on the boosting or the boostee part.

I have a VERY tall horse. I needed to mount from the ground at a horse show (in front of people, while dressed in white show clothing), so he offered a boost up. He gave me one, alright. He boosted me up and over the other side. I was a little too boosted... more like launched.<BR/><BR/>And given that I was riding a horse, and horses are not bathroom trained, I'll bet you can imagine what nice soft squishy stuff there was to break my fall on the other side. My white show clothes did not remain white.<BR/><BR/>Moral of the story: I now mount from the ground unassisted, or I look for a nice chair, rail or other solid object to use as a mounting block. I do NOT accept my husband's offer of a little boost.Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308862059975983327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-4714010162685701192007-08-13T13:20:00.000-05:002007-08-13T13:20:00.000-05:00We have really had a mild summer considering how b...We have really had a mild summer considering how bad it can be in Oklahoma.

But I figured no one would get it.<BR/><BR/>Charlotta-love: Ah, no worries, I do that sometimes when we go to Kinlock, because the water where we jump off there is usually only seven or eight feet deep. But the lake is supposedly sixty feet deep where I was jumping Saturday.<BR/><BR/>Pia: No, I didn't tell her about the parallels of Scott's life and mine.

Exactly what it sounds like. You hike up a mountain, go to the edge of a cliff, and jump. I am so cautious though (it's humorous actually). I would first step in the water, swim down as deep as I could to check for jagged rocks or low banks. Once I had approved the area, I would climp up and jump off.
