Woman, 80, lands plane on low fuel; husband dies =>

[Helen Collins] took lessons to take off and land about 30 years ago
at her husband's urging, in case something happened to him, but never
got her license. She has flown hundreds of hours by his side.

"At one point she didn't even want the wingman to go up," he said.
"She said, 'Don't you guys think I could do this on my own? Don't you
have confidence in me?' She was calmer than everybody on the ground.
She had it totally under control."

The movie is coming back to the theaters and I'll definitely be going to watch it. That movie seems to have been made for 12 year old girls who were almost ready for their loss of innocence process, it sure hit at the right time for me, I absolutely loved it and it was actually fairly significant in my girlhood. I haven't actually watched it all the way through since I was 13, we had it on video but then it got lost and left behind when everything got weird. So seeing it again is something I'm greatly looking forward to, cheesy as it is, maybe I'll not enjoy it at all as an adult, but I think because of its place in my development it will always be special to me, inspite of the horrid acting and lame dialogue.

But the real Titanic? What a tragedy, the perfect showcase for human arrogance.

Coffee is a stimulant.

Humanity LOVES stimulants....

Let's do some math:

Women = 1/2 of Humanity.

On the other hand....

Men, also = 1/2 of Humanity.



So....

Women like coffee, and men like coffee....

I know my next pick up line!!!!!, thanks FFF.NET!!!!!

The next time I meet a pretty girl and want to ask her out, I'll ask her if she wants to get some coffee!!!!!!!

About my TV?

It was on the antenna for most of its stay here, & reception was minimal.
No interest in the original network channels, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.

When I moved to here, I had to get cable for the Internet. (It's a mystery,
all local 'Net and even Ma Bell don't offer service in the neighborhood.) At
first, they only let me have it as a package deal with cable TV. More than 6
months, I guess, I had normal cable reception: over 100 channels, clear as
a bell.

See, I'd long since adapted to Computer is interesting to me; TV is boring, but
sometimes has a good movie on. I admit, I was half-hearted in my attempts to
find stuff I liked on cable TV. Then they let me cancel TV & just pay for 'Net.

The TV's been out in the shed for a year or so now. But it's due to return so
as to watch my DVDs, maybe a few rentals.

At present, most of my TV-movies come via NetFlix streaming. Real people are
often more interesting.

Entertainment. Yah -- I get tired of my own company all the time.

Better tests find record concussions among U.S. troops =>
http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/story/2012-04-12/brain-injuries-
concussions-US-military-troops/54185894/1


Improved battlefield diagnosis has led to a record number of
concussions detected among U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan
and Iraq last year, with an average of 16 inflicted each day
last spring, according to newly released Pentagon figures.

It was the highest pace for traumatic brain injuries of any
period in 10 years of combat, according to data provided to
USA TODAY. Brain injuries caused by the concussive force of
a nearby blast are among the most commons wounds troops
suffer.

American casualties in Afghanistan this spring are already
ticking higher as the traditionally heavier summer fighting
months approach, military statistics show.

Although there was an alarming increase last year in buried-
explosives attacks on U.S. foot patrols in Afghanistan — where
most of the casualties occurred last year — scientists believe
the rise in diagnosed brain-injury cases was due largely to
more aggressive efforts at detecting the wound.
