    CFI shortage?

    I am in Williamsburg. I did my PP at JGG, but not happy with instructor there, although I heard there is a new flight school there now. I may check that out again.

    CFI shortage?

    Not happy to hear that NKA is closing. Not sure where to go now.

    Some doctors are morons.

    I lived in the UK for a number of years. It seemed to me that anyone with a good job had private health insurance, because the NHS is very slow and overburdened. Once I went with a friend to visit his relative in an NHS hospital, and it was Dickensian in a frightening way. I couldn't wait to...

    Another GA hack job by Thomas Frank, USA Today

    This hits pretty close to home, unfortunately. Last month, two very good friends of my father died when the airplane caught on fire and then crashed. I really hope they died in the crash, and were not burned to death.

    Man that ****es me off

    That sounds like my first CFI. Never a lesson plan nor syllabus. He sucked, only I didn't realize it until later. Guess what he did the day I soloed. He changed the radio frequency to see if I would notice, never having taught me anything about the radio beyond calling location. Yeah, he...

    Big Dogs and wood floors

    We put in solid red oak hardwood flooring ten years ago, and it has held up well with our 80+ pound German Shepherds.

    Women are not pulling their weight

    But maybe her chest was crushed under all that weight.

    Women are not pulling their weight

    Many women don't like each other. Plain women resent pretty women, some pretty women look down their snooty noses at others they think are not as pretty (quite a few actresses do this). Whatever. Women can be vicious. I had one female cfi who I thought sucked, maybe she just didn't like me, I...

    Women are not pulling their weight

    Exactly. They are ridiculous, and so obvious. I don't know why women do it.

    I thought it was urban legend

    Yes, seriously. That's tea time.

    I thought it was urban legend

    Okay I'm dense. I don't get it. What does 420 mean?

    The Autobahn is fun

    Those construction lanes usually have a speed limit and cameras, so check those next time. Otherwise it's likely you will come home and weeks later get a letter in the mail from your car rental company about the camera that caught you. Germans also put cameras in surprising places, like...

    Robin Williams

    Forty percent of all infertility problems are male related. Check out the WHO. Sperm quality and quantity have dropped every decade the WHO has been tracking it globally. Also, no one thinks about freezing eggs at 25, and freezing eggs wasn't even possible until a few years ago. Embryos and...

    Robin Williams

    I know plenty of women who have been struggling with infertility for many years. Like me. It took over four years to get one kid. I am sure many successful, powerful women think they can "make it happen" only to be sadly faced with biological reality. It is extremely difficult to get pregnant...

    Robin Williams

    More likely these women waited too long, only to discover it is extremely difficult to get pregnant over 40. It takes a long time to complete education and rise to the top.

    Two planes down in Fla

    How do you train to be an Aircraft Accident Investigator? It sounds interesting.

    Can anybody help with buddy pass?

    I have been flying non-rev since childhood, as my father is a now retired airline pilot. Flying standby isn't for everyone, but I am so used to it and I like the flexibility. If the flights are full, then time and destination must be flexible. Flying to/from Europe can get creative, and I often...

    It's appliance shopping time... Suggestions?

    I bought a Samsung front loading washer and dryer in 2006, and love it. The washer has worked great, no problems, no repairs. It gets clothes very clean. Plus, you can get them in colors (not a fan of white). Mine are dark blue. I never had an issue with mold or smell. I read somewhere that...
