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....

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?

Foggy and Dave.......meeting twice.......there is still so much to talk about.and so many more memories to make..............

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...
