*tackles back* I've been really good. in a nut shell, I had a boyfriend for like a ear. we broke up. my brothers' in the airforce, currently in Qatar but actually stationed in england. I'm doing waaayyy better in school. I'm working on set crew in the drama club. I'm in a higher choir. it's greatttt. Lots going on for you. I guess that you are almost over your recent break-up. Hope you are doing okay. Your brother will be in my prayers for his safe return. At least England is a bit away from the Middle East. Glad to hear you are doing better in school. Not too much longer and you will be in college. Working on the set crew... how cool is that! You must be enjoying it! Higher choir... that is an accomplishment. Perhaps you and Jesusfreak can sing us a duet! well yeah, that break up was just torture. thank you! he's on a mission over in qatar so he's not just sitting in england, he's in the action, i text him everyday. even if it's just to say "Goodnight, I love you" i really and enjoying it, haha. it's an easy way to take my anger out before i go home, seeing as i can use tools. though my set crew head usually knows when i'm upset and he tends to make sure i have a job where i and no one around me will get hurt. plus i like him. haha, i love singing. and i do feel like i've acomplished something great by moving up. Break-ups are never easy, some are far worse than others. Whenever the heart is involved... watch out. Tell your brother we are all thinking of him and have him in our prayers, thoughts and heart. If he would like a "Care" Package, just email me with his name and military address and I will put together a great box of goodies for him. (pmajr@mac.com) Tools... Oh, do I understand. My favorite tool is my Stihl Chainsaw. Oh my, what a "power" tool that is. Next in-line might be my linoleum stripper. Wish I could sing. I couldn't sing my way out of a paper box. And no, I do not sing in my sand bath. Only Hampton and the Hampsters can sing. That's why I love my violin. I can play that forever and ever and never get tired.

Attempting to sleep.

Do you ever have your hair thinned? A friend of mine does that.

It automates all kinds of great things. Too boring to mention, but very exciting when it comes to flying! As for other news... rain has been the norm for over a week now. Yesterday we had some sunshine, and things were looking up, but when I woke up this morning... more rain. I usually like rain, but my rain-o-meter is pegged and we need lots of sun. Mushroom_king would feel right at home as the mushrooms are everywhere, and they are monstrous!

What a fantastic day!!! Ladybugs do bring good luck!!!

Another difference is that when you make a braid... it looks phenomenal. When I braid my hair, I look like I have a braided rat's tail. Very, very skinny.

Great news! Sorry HampsterKing took so long. But you know how fast these 100 year old guys move.

Drinking Butter Rum coffee!

We like that.

That's great news Mushroom_king!!!!! So nice to hear that you are happy.

Exactly my thinking!!!!! So I suggest that you do something about it... come around more often. haha school keeps me extremely busy, now that i do my work Glad to hear you are doing better in school and actually accomplish your homework!

Actually the FAA requires an approved training program for all airplanes. To go to a new airplane and be subjected to the training programs is usually quite stressful as your career can be on the line. With the automation, the B777 actually has a shorter training program than my current airplane, the Airbus. As the airplanes get newer, they come with so many improved and automated features, that the training footprint can actually get shorter. The training letter should come out by the end of this week. I am hoping the training is not too far away. Still, I cannot imagine flying non-stop from Memphis to China. That is a long, long time in an airplane.

So I guess you had a great time at the concert. You could be right about her mother. For whatever reason, at least you both got to go to the concert together! You need to upload a minute of sound track for us to listen to! That would be stellar!! Sounds like life is going much better.

You are lucky that you came in on the second update to this. Until now the boards were sloooooooooooooooow.

Thanks! But let's save those congratulations until AFTER I finish training. I have lots of school to go through and that might not be until a year or so from now. The training letters come out next week, so I will find my date. In the meantime, just a trivial fact... the engine is so big, that you could fit a B737 fuselage into the engine. That is an amazingly large engine!!!!!! 110,000 pounds of thrust per engine and the B777 has two engines. WHOA!!!!!!!!!

It is not pinned so I remember to post in my own topic.

Unfortunate that your girlfriend's mother acts on her own fears instead of being open minded. I am so sorry that you both have to be secretive about your relationship. One thing I have experienced, to lie about your whereabouts usually gets you caught. Please have your girlfriend be very careful and try not to lie. If her mother never asks "where" she waited, then she won't be lying. Just something to think about. When you go to the concert, be aware that her mother will be watching you both to see if there are any special looks between you two. So, try and enjoy yourself and act like you both are just good friends and hopefully her mother's fears will subside. In the meantime, just enjoy the time you both have together. It sounds like she is a very nice person and you both get along very, very well.

I was so excited to see Wildcat, Hamster Luver and Erendayu, that I totally forgot to update you all on the news. The bid closed and the results were posted. I received a Captain slot on the Boeing 777. Training dates to be posted in a week. B777 picture will appear in a couple posts.

How wonderful to hear she had adopted two babies. What was happening in China was that women were having babies to satisfy the demand for Americans wanting to adopt. I am not so sure how I feel about this. We have lots of babies in the USA who need parents and a good home. As a matter of fact I have friends who adopted from the Ukraine... his name is Sasha and he is a terrific little boy.

*cough, cough* You could always add some artwork for us to view - Kat -.

Gret to hear you have a terrific weekend! So, what did you do? Please don't keep us in suspense.

Sorry that you have having the pains of separation, but I think you have made the right decision. Someone will pop into your life that treats you much, much better. Glad the apartment is working out. That's great news. Being able to cook your own food is fantastic. Having a shower that has no water pressure stinks. You have lots of hair so this must be frustrating. I like those showers that feel like a fire hose! That problem is that I could stay in them for hours. (Bad for the environment! ) School seems like it will be enjoyable for you and hopefully not too stressful. Your professors can make or break a great course. Hopefully this year you have all fantastic profs. Glad you have updated us. Thanks!

HAMSTER LUVER !!!!!!!!!!! Whoaaaaaaaaaa! What a day! I am soooooo excited to see you!!!!!!! You need to come back regularly and post. Why don't you make your own topic and I will pin it! Whoo hoo!!! So... what's been happening? How are you? What are you doing?
