A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day...02-06-04....WVNan's West Virginia

WVNan, Mama_Bear

[WVNan]

I think Mama_Bear was looking for someone to referee because she was leaving Sistah and myself without supervision. Now I don't know where Sistah went. She does that all the time. Pops in and pops out, always flitting about. Can't pin her down.

[LadyX]

Your name was lovingly mentioned a time or two..:))

And where are our two New Yorkers?!
Bet The Mayor has been to West Virginia...

[The Mayor]

I've driven thru WV a few times. It was nice to go 70+ on the truway without being illegal.

[WVNan]

See? Like a butterfly she is.

[LadyX]

Ha....didn't you always tell me to shut up be quiet and let the other person reply before speaking?
I was waiting for you very patiently....

[Diver Dave]

You've done a smashing job today as hostess and tour guide. Been playin' ketchup and looks like y'all had an all-day party.

I'm headed for the check-out counter now, but wanted to be sure you got another well deserved kudo.

[WVNan]

Which reminds me: "Happiness is as a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. (Nathanel Hawthorne)

See I was right. Sit down and be quiet until spoken to.

[LadyX]

Besides...like any good Marine, I'm watching JAG!!

[WVNan]

If you leave Dave, who will blow the whistle on Sistah and me?

[LadyX]

"who will blow the whistle?"

See, Dave...now she's threatening to come to blows with me, and I have been very good!

[WVNan]

Did noooot. Would never lift a hand to my Sistah. See, I just compared you to a butterfly. That was extremely charitable of me. Nice too.

[dutchess]

Hi Nan...you still there?????

[dutchess]

Thanks for putting up with my "tin hat".... Today was great!

[LadyX]

Something else nice is Freep Mail waiting for you...Diver Dave has a prize for us.

[LadyX]

I so admire your fortitude in taking the flying lessons, dutchess!!

I always was the kid with the inner ear imbalance who got car sick as a child - watching the horizon tilt on a screen makes me ill - ditto being near the edge of a balcony or upper level in a mall.

Have no problem in a commercial airplane, though....go figure!

[WVNan]

I'm here dutchess, patiently waiting for someone to say something.

[WVNan]

Okay. BRB

[dutchess]

Nan. What I am learning. A plane flys itself....it basically is aerodynamics.... It is basically a glider... The thing is is to learn how to handle a "stall" or whatever
and not fight it. This way..it lands itself. I'm doing a lot of reading on this...plus the lessons.... Not sure if I will go very much futher with lessons...BUT...I will admit...this is more fun then driving through Columbus rush hour traffic..... Atleast...I don't gave to worry about idiot drivers. As a rule...Pilots are serious!

[LadyX]

I'll be here, but am multitasking with some 'mandatory chores,' Nan.

Will be in and out for a few minutes, setting up.

[WVNan]

I know the small planes are not as dangerous as the jets and larger planes. A piper usually can land without power unless it gets smacked in a storm. I'm glad you are enjoying the lessons, and you're right about the traffic. I have to agree on that. I hate city traffic.
