Judy

Good job finishing up the 'roids. I hope you are "normal" soon. I think the side effects are not worth the alleged benefits. But that's me.

:hug:

You know Judy, a bunch of us have been talking about Steve Fossett today. Having met him a couple of times, I know first hand that he is a very experienced pilot and a great man. Most times, it's the unexpected things that catch you off guard.

When we go through our training, our instructors teach us how to react to emergencies - or how not to "react." We are trained to treat these emergency situations with calmness and procedures. It is hammered into us...procedure procedure procedure.

Unfortunately, the desert and terrain are sometimes unforgiving. If he had catastrophic engine failure at a high altitude and didn't have a parachute, he had very little chance of survival.

I used to live in the area where he is missing. It is unforgiving. But having said that, Steve is a very resourceful man and an extremely well trained pilot. If he survived a crash, he will survive. We are all holding out hope for him.

The airplane that I fly is very similar to his. Made for the area that he is flying - back country, no paved runways, rough terrain.

Say a prayer. He will be a great loss to the aviation community.

Hey everybody!

Sorry I've been MIA. Hopefully, not anymore!

Who's ready for a party??!!!:cool:

where the heck have you been????

glad to see you back!! :hug:

Too much yuck which I don't want to dump here.

By the way, the new do is grand!

You didn't know I noticed, did you?:D

Thanks! :D

Too much yuck...I completely understand. :(

How's school?

Just another level of yuck which I am coping with the best I can.

How's planting going?

Hi Jalee, not in the mood for a party, but glad you finally made your way back here. I hope all your Yuck clears up and you will be healing from now on.

:hug:

Cindy

I am glad your hand is doing better! :D

Hi Jalee :Wave-Hello:
Good to see you are back. Hoping the yuck is on the decline. I'm up for a party. What kind of party shall we have?

This wonderful mob has been wonderful walking me through this breakup and move across country. I'll be on a plane in 57 hours and counting. :D

Let me know what to bring, alche, chocolate, you name it. I'm there :hug:
