The Person Below Me...
Re: The Person Below Me...
Funnily enough, quite the opposite. I used to have an extremely sweet tooth, but now, while I still enjoy sweet tucker, I don't hog into it like I used to.

Yep, they are purely exercises in self-congratulation.
TPBM can't see why we should think that advice from celebrities is more valid than that from experts.

No one in their right mind listens to celebrities. Kids maybe.
TPBM will listen to first hand accounts from local experts rather than whatever the MSM sprukes.

Yes, we have one. She's stomping around her enclosure at the moment. I occasionally let her out but the dogs are fascinated by her and have the strength to propel her several feet.

I did. I painted red eyes on it and called it Hilda (for some reason).

True, but only my sister played with it. Me and my brother kicked it around the backyard as a football. I forget what she called him.

True, must be my guilty conscience, but I guess my feet hurt less than some who kicked their beloved sis's rock or golliwog, you brutes...

True, I came from a very poor family. Licked motorway clean, and that kind of thing. Managed to win a scholarship to a good school and then university. It has been downhill ever since.
TPBM believes in education and the scientific method...

True, but in all facets of Aviation Sunday morning could feel like tea time on Tuesday.

Re: The Person Below Me...
Nope, tomorrow is Sunday. Tomorrow I have to put together an actuarial risk report on some question that is bothering one of my clients. Maths (not left or right) helped me here. I thank my mom (long dead) for pushing me thus.
TPBM loved their Mom, no matter how mad she was...

Re: The Person Below Me...
True. Loved mum. She was the one who really encouraged me in wanting to be a pilot. She also sat in the jumpseat when I did my first line flight as F/O MEL - ADL - MEL on B727-200 VH-TBI (the ADL-MEL leg, then MEL-ADL a week later while I went on to DRW).
She wasn’t mad. A bit crazy but not mad. She thought my pad in MEL was a pig sty (which it was really). She cleaned it up real spick n span. Trouble was I couldn’t find stuff afterwards like my undies under the bed, pilot shirt behind the couch etc. She also thought the hostie GF I was bonking at the time wasn’t my type.
