My spin:

If you’re not crashing, you’re not trying.
Do or do not. There is no try!

2. Laziness is bad for the soul.
OK, I’ll agree, but define soul…

3. I’ll most likely never run for any office.
Yeah, I don’t want the pay cut, plus running for office violates rule #5.

4. Some places are not as interesting as they look.
Some pussies are like that, brother…

5. Be Honest. [All good lies come to an end].
Unless you’re a successful politician or in marketing… J/K )

6. Take care of the people you love.
Be kind to animals and be sure to tip your waitress…

7. Don’t say Maybe when you really mean No.
Especially when she asks “Do you love me?” during sex

8. It’s hard not to act so desperate when you are.
Are we talking about pussies again???

9. Mistakes are an important part of life.
And more often than not, death…

10. Worrying Solves Nothing.
But it prepares you for the inevitable!

If PJ can add his spin, I’m gonna add mine too. -)

1. If you’re not crashing, you’re not trying.
This is coming from a person who truly believes he can fly a plane because he’s successfully done it on his X-Box.

2. Laziness is bad for the soul.
Laziness, yes. Relaxation, no.

3. I’ll most likely never run for any office.
Probably not, but if you did, I’d most likely vote for you.

4. Some places are not as interesting as they look.
Neither are some people. But on the other hand, sometimes people (and places) can surprise you.

5. Be Honest. [All good lies come to an end].
Everything eventually comes to an end, lie or no lie. And that has no bearing on why one should be honest.

6. Take care of the people you love.
Absolutely.

7. Don’t say Maybe when you really mean No.
This one goes back to being honest.

8. It’s hard not to act so desperate when you are.
Very true. But it’s also hard not to act excited when you’ve just been dealt a full house.

9. Mistakes are an important part of life.
And learning from those mistakes is even more important.

10. Worrying Solves Nothing.
I’m with you on that one. -)

Christine, I think you are being too hard on Christopher about the whole flight simulator thing (and, yes, MS Flight Sim was first developed right here in my hometown — but that’s another story about partners, deception and personal greed).

I have played FS and I have flown a general aviation aircraft. If he has a lot of experience flying a general aviation (or even an older piston engine fighter) in MSFS, then he probably would be able to fly a smaller airplane.

Of course, that doesn’t take into account taking off and landing… o

I have taken off, but never landed an airplane in real life — it happens a lot quicker in real life!

Btw, I will be MIA next week (can you say SPRING BREAK?) so carry on, if at all possible, in my absence.

Christopher — do you know what happens when you lose 1 of your 2 engines in real life?

hmm, on second thought, maybe you’re sounding more like a Microsoft programmer.

I can’t say what it sounds like, but something sure SMELLS like B.S. -)

ProphetJoe the Irreverent remarked

Well, considering you’re a Nebraska girl, I suspect I know what B.S. stands for… you can take ‘em off the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of ‘em! )
