Okay, I'll post pics when I get the nerve up to have someone take them. As for helping out...um, I have a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology. So I'm offering my services to everyone here in the Fit Club. If you have questions, want some help figuring things out. I'll be an online personal trainer here. I'm not your typical personal trainer so don't expect the same old, same old here. As for my fitness goals... I have had many injuries in the past year, and I'm a comfort eater, so that said, I've got about 120 lbs to lose. I've lost 85lbs in the past 6 months so I'm on track right now. Current weight: 290 lbs. Goal weight: 160-170 lbs. Exercise Plan: Wii Fit Plus 4 days a week using hand weights; TaeBo 3x a week (got my sister involved here). Will be adding strength training as soon as I get a different job and a new apartment. See you at the club!

Posting pics from the latest troop I attended. And no, I'm not in any of the pictures, I'm the one behind the camera. We provided a "Jail & Bail" where for 1 ticket you could have anyone arrested and jailed for 1 minute unless they or someone else paid 1 ticket to bail them out before time was up. Unfortunately our TKs didn't show up until later when I was too busy monitoring the jail to take pictures. We raised over $250 for the school. It was fun, until we had to move the group indoors because of weather and the children got too rowdy, but hey, bruises heal right? Oh and costumes can be repaired....

Kudos to her. Couldn't have done that when I graduated though...we had problems with the heat (June in Los Angeles anyone?) and they were passing around ice water to the graduates. Also, sitting in a TK outfit would have been painful, and we sat for 3 hours... Love the fact that yes, she is getting critiqued on her armor. The NZ garrison definitely needs to contact this trooper and get her enlisted!

Thank you to everyone who responded and those that perhaps worked behind the scenes. They reached 10,000 members by last night and the numbers are still growing. I really hope that ABC looks at this and decides that perhaps Scott and Carol do need their help. Thanks again to all the troopers here who helped out.

Hi, I don't ask for things usually, but this time its personal. My cousin and his wife went through an incredible trial two years ago, when his wife almost lost her life during and after giving birth to their second child. The end effects were, she lost her sight, both her legs, her left arm, and right ring finger to toxic shock syndrome, or a colonized infection. Last spring she and her husband moved back to be near his parents to help care for their children. They purchased a house with the intentions to renovate it to make it more "user-friendly" for her. Unfortunately with the economy the way it is, they cannot do the renovations. Their community has come together and is sponsoring them for the American TV show, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." They have a facebook site, and I would love to have as many of the FISD who are on Facebook join the group. The more in the group the more attention will be raised. They have an event on Friday night, and unfortunately I live halfway across the country from them. Anyone who is in Western WA though is more than welcome to show up. The link to the facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=112160658809224 The link to my cousin's blog telling the whole story is here: http://www.sccsdecker.blogspot.com Hopefully we'll be successful. Thanks.

Actually, they are part of the easter egg decorating kit. It has Yoda on the front, but they are really cool. They are going fast (only have 2 left at my Target as of yesterday) so you might want to hurry down and get them.

Cool! Now I can work on my Battlestar Galactica Pegasus Squadron costume and not feel guilty! Death to all Cylons! (runs and grabs the 4 page armor history she has compiled, feeds it into the paper shredder and makes confetti.) Oh, and Daetrin...if you're recasting...can I have my armor in green?

What an honour for you. I'm glad that he was given his rightful respect on his final parade. I know that many times we forget that Canada has served as hard and as long in military conflicts all over the world as have other nations. This is a tragedy. Thank you for posting these pictures.

Matt, that's awful! I understand the financial difficulties in purchasing new armor, but please don't leave the FISD boards. I am waiting until finances are a little more secure myself before finishing off my TIE uniform, and I don't know when I'll be able to afford TK or TX armor...that doesn't mean you have to leave. You are still a part of the FISD!!!! I've always felt welcome here. So should you. Just give yourself a big Tigger bounce and perhaps you'll be able to find those %#&$@*! who took your armor.

Can he come and destroy all the Spongebob stuff in the store I work at? Who knew that the yellow square was a Rebel and a traitor? All I can say about the cat is...Smart cat!

Moral of the story, don't go wandering off alone. Better to fight as a group like Daetrin said. Glad to see the calf wasn't too badly injured. But it was amazing to watch the crocs and the lions tug-o-war over the prize. Thanks for posting!

I kept telling people at work today "Happy Pi Day" and they didn't get it. I got tired of explaining so stopped. But to everyone here, Hope you had a Happy Pi Day, and that if you live in an area that did go to Daylight Savings Time, may your body clock recover soon. Gotta run because even though my body clock says it is only 9:00, the wall clock says it is 10:00...

Really cool pics. I hope no snow troopers were truly injured during the photo shoot.

Oh great, not only did we lose the hockey game to his country, we have to answer to him with regards to tutorials now...what more can we endure????? JK Terry. I couldn't be happier for you. Your skills and help are invaluable and will only be an asset to the FISD. Congrats my friend!

Love the new look, but when I tried to find it last night using the old link...it was broken So I had to google it, but found it It looks great, and easy to navigate, find things, and look up. I'm so impressed with everything the FISD Administration has done with the boards. I look forward to the great work they do and um, how are you going to top this one?

Wow, wish we had trooping events like that all lined up here... Those pictures are great! Everyone looks like they were having a good time (how can you not when you're doing good work). Oh and the Empire looks like it has a good foothold in Italy now. Perhaps I can work on a transfer...

Never knew you could speak Ewok RogueTrooper... Love the pics of the troop! Wish we could get that many people out for one event other than a Con...but it looks like everyone had a great time. Love the Incinerator trooper! It looks soooo cool! Great work.

Really great pictures. Gives me plenty of ideas for my own photography ventures with my local garrison! I love the composition. That aside, I'm glad I wasn't the person on the phone asking customer service for help...I'd love to have been there and seen everyone's reactions. Great job with the troop! Oh, yeah, Billhag, love the new "bucket" is that going to become standard FISD gear for extra safety precautions during training? You know, kind of like the orange/neon yellow vests road construction workers wear so they don't get run over by cars? But in this case, so that other troopers don't shoot a blaster bolt through your head?

Great pictures! The setting looked fabulous, and it looked like everyone was having a good time. Well, since the universe didn't end, I suppose a Star Wars/Trek marriage isn't the worst thing that could happen. Everyone looks like they are having a good time. How fun is it to be married on Halloween? (My favorite holiday BTW.) Look forward to seeing more pictures.

Okay, not into flatulence jokes, but that said, I loved the "You can't have a droid, Phil..." Overall really fun.

Okay, had to respond even if a bit late. Austria to me means: Spanish Riding School, Vienna. Still hope to go there someday soon.

Hope you are surviving round 2 right now. At least the snow we got last weekend is melted off the roads, now if we can just battle the cold temps. Stay safe. Love the photoshopped pictures. They are awesome! Um, don't look now, but you have a Wampa behind you!

Congratulations on being elected DL again Paul. You've done a great job here on the FISD, and I hope you continue to make it a place people want to come to find out all they can about the TK and some TX uniforms.

I don't want to hear about it. We had 5 inches of snow yesterday, and more expected tomorrow. Plus, on Tuesday we are supposed to have a low of 9 degrees and a high of 25. I'm so tired of winter, where's the global warming we're supposed to be experiencing? All I know is I'm cold!
