Memory lane.........'the beginning'.......slide show............♥









 I've decided that in order to go forward.............I must go back......and revisit.......the last 3 yrs here at Miss TWA......I've made so many wonderful friends..........some of whom...have moved on...or I pissed off enough........ha ha.......may be some truth to that............omg.......I've got a big mouth.......I read somewhere that you should 'write drunk'...........and 'edit sober.....well who ever the f*ck said that shit............didn't include..............'apologize profusely'.......LOL ....!! Some of the scariest moments of life came when I wake up only to find the computer still on......and not remember who I was talking to.....not to mention the sh!t I may  have said............Holy JeeZus.......!!! lets start with the first pal I made here at Miss TWA..and that would be Captain Doug.......who flies for "Air Canada"...........actually it was his blog..........and the reason I started my blog.........and most of my "Aviation" friends I met on his "From the flight deck".......blog.......It was an "Awesome" blog too...........Damn we had some fun there........we sure would go off the deep end........and where the phrase "get him a damn cookie" was part of the......comments......not to mention I was relentless .....dogging him..............he was always such a good sport about it all..........!!!.........It started back in 2010............I  emailed him because he was born where I was born.......St. John's Newfoundland.....Canada.......so I always said........Capt. Doug......one day you will fly me home to our homeland........and his offer still remains.........a few pictures of him for posterity....





Captain Doug doing a 'walk around'...........♠



The  wrist watch strap........made popular as he chopped it up instead of getting another one.......and he promised it to me.....One day I'm gonna get it.......from him..........but we sure had fun....teasing him....ok maybe it was just me......♠


Hey there Captain Doug.........sitting in his A-320.......♠

Nice dedication, Jules.

Yes, I remember when you showed up on the blog. I think I had a heart attack when I saw the spelling errors and huge number of .............s everywhere! LOL, you know I love you! xo

You certainly right clicked/saved a lot of pics. Again, that vault must be HUGE!

The watch strap made me laugh out loud...and so did the bloomers. Thanks!

I can't wait to read more of your memory lane posts...who is next?

Sorry, I did not read this post till last night. I'm falling behind in my required readings. [It's college all over again]

PIC COMMENT: In woodworking class, at CUNARD JR. HIGH, we were specifically instructed not to wear pink bloomers when operating wicked looking saws like that...
