Oooooh yes, I love flight sims! Before 9/11 happened my Dad and I began taken flight lessons to get some pilot license. It was an experience alright.
Really? I don't think I've heard about this before. You guys have licenses? 
Elo.
Saki-san!
I think you have PMs.
I think you have PMs.
I do.
Will get right on it.
Will get right on it.
And I will get right on to bed.
Night!

Sadly no. We had to cancel those plans when 9/11 happened.
What did you fly then? Not an egg whisk like me I reckon 
>< egg whisk lol.

The Nimbus 9000 Broom
.A single engine Cessna trainer . It was pretty simple to fly but I would have preferred using a live model simulator before flying the real thing.
When my grandpa got his license there were no simulators.
This was in the early 90s, he didn't have it long before he had knee surgery disqualifying him on his next physical.

He was originally scheduled to fly on his next physical? In any case, I imagine riding on an airplane would be less stressful for his arms.
There were flight simulators in 1929. Just google for Link Trainer. My father used one.

A single engine Cessna trainer . It was pretty simple to fly but I would have preferred using a live model simulator before flying the real thing.
Nothing like the real thing. Just jump onboard and grab the controls
And to think I went for helicopter. Much more difficult to fly than that airplane even if it was a very simple heli. The very nature of it makes it hard. But fun!

But you can mess up in a simulator reals life is not as forgiving
.I love flying helicopters in flight simulators, I find them simpler to fly then planes.
In other news:
These areas look familiar.

No. Friend still won't speak to me so I'm very sad lately.
Why friend not speak?
Long story. He's not mad at me or anything I don't think but it's still sad.

Are you going to compete or just fly over the struggling skiers and caw encouragement?
Definitely the latter 
At least I could have if I had covered the race for TV from a helicopter

Lol.
I love humor like that
Another day another Dr. Pepper Strawberries and Cream soda. Also tomorrow I get to see the dentist about getting a tooth removed. Ah the joys of aging and having bad teeth, denture city here I come.
Joys.
GL with the dentist.

Really; good luck, Reaper. Hope it goes well.

Yeep! My goodness Reaps, you're surely too young for dentures aren't you?
That said, my dad got dentures in his late thirties I believe, early forties tops. In his case, it was sort of by design. Our family didn't have much money, certainly not enough for period dental visits and occasional crowns/fillings. His philosophy was to wait until his situation was hopeless, then have all teeth removed in one fell swoop. He couldn't afford top-quality dentures, so was always whittling on them in hope of a better fit. Mom, on the other hand, passed in her mid-seventies with all her teeth intact.
Me, I lost eight teeth in my early twenties, plus a number of crowns and fillings, thanks to poor diet and lax dental hygiene. Oddly or not, after that i've lost no further teeth except when an ancient crown gave up the ghost, not leaving enough original tooth to recrown. Haven't needed a filling in decades. I'm very lucky in that the upper partial made for me several years prior to military retirement is super-high quality. Over thirty years later it still fits like a glove. My current dentist warns me to protect it at all costs, as she knows of no one who can make its equal. (Even if they could, it's unlikely I can afford it.)
In any case, best of luck with your situation!

Not really I think my Dad started losing his teeth around my age. Bad teeth seems to flow in my family, my mom had bad teeth, my dad had bad teeth and even my sister had bad teeth. Brushing just delays the inevitable.
Oh, my. This is a subject that you really can sink your teeth into, isn't it?
Sorry!
Sorry!

Wish I wanted to bother with getting a Mechwarrior game to work on my PC. Or maybe I should just bite the bullet and get Mechwarrior5…
