Biff and the FAA

[bamaEER]

“I hear we have the wrong system. … And is the gentleman who’s the head of the FAA right now not a pilot?" Trump said in a meeting at the White House with airline and airport executives. "I’d like to find out because I think it maybe would be good to have a pilot — like a really good pilot that knows what’s going on. ... I would think you need a very sophisticated person in that job."

That's funny, according to Biff's logic, you don't have to be a teacher to run education.

Sounds like he plans on keeping the FAA around.

NOW he starts looking for qualified people

Don't teachers run the teachers union which is responsible for the education of inner city utes? I don't think that getting a teacher to run the Education dept would be very good if you look at the results that they ahve been getting.

Funny thing is, this statement referred to the fact that the current FAA head is not a pilot and Biff was using that against him.

Bingo!

That's like saying it's bad to have a doctor running the FDA because of the opioide epidemic.

 

[bamaEER]

Bingo!

not even close

You may be right. Their Union may be run by the AFL-CIO for all I know. The results are what matters and the results need to change. Real Change, not the dreamy hope change.

The fallacy with appointing DeVos is that it stems from a mind set that thinks 'she's just an administrator of federal education programs'. You can't fix education unless you know education. This isn't about just Pell Grant management.

It's obvious that those who ahve been in charge no nothing about it either.

Or a scientist to run the DoE.

They at least know what a Pell Grant is ... and the difference between growth and proficiency. Or at least show enough interest to be properly prepared for an interview

You may not need to be able to change a transmission to run a car lot ... but you should know the difference between a truck, a car and an SUV

There is too much money being given out by the govt. It needs to dry up to drive down the cost at colleges. As far as your opinion on Devos, you could be right but you could be wrong. Our educational system is flawed and those in charge have been in charge for a long time. They aren't going to change anything. Flying to Florida in a hour to play in s three day best ball tournament. Several USGA national amatuer champions in it. Great field. You can check it out at The Fox Club website, maybe the scores will be there. You live in Georgia, right? Do you know Doug Hanzel? Great player out of Savannah. We are paired with him and his partner. Funny side noe, Doug and my partner, Dave Pulk, were on the same golf team at Kent State.

Good luck in the tournament ... but no, I don't live in GA, I live in WV.

Were you thinking of taking a golf vacation or was it Bru?

Britain has an opiod epidemic too?

 

[WhiteTailEER]

That must have been Bru. I'm not planning much of anything right now with my transplant possibly in the near future.

 

[WVUBRU]

We talked back in November about a weekend getaway and you pointed me to a place outside of Columbia.

 

[DvlDog4WVU]

Good luck with getting a new organ. You'll be in my families prayers or the non-Christian equivalent.

 

[Airport]

I guess I missed your transplant, heart? kidney, lung, liver? My partner and I played the worst we have ever played together.

Wait...What?!

Brain ... I want to be a conservative and see what it's like on that side. LOL

Kidney. I've mentioned my kidney issue before a couple times, although mostly in passing. I have polycystic kidney disease, it is genetic. I've known that I've had it for about 10 years or so, and it's finally gotten bad enough to I've been put on the transplant lists and I have family and friends being evaluated as live donors.

I had fistula placement in my arm for dialysis but haven't had to start dialysis yet, and may never have to at all.

It turns out that so far my wife is a match, so I could be getting the transplant relatively soon. Like in the next couple of months. I've not felt all that great for a couple years now, I'm looking forward to maybe having some energy again.

I guess I missed it when you mentioned it. God bless. My friend's son got one from his sister and he sure has to take a lot of pills. Can't be easy.

 

[WhiteTailEER]

Thanks. Yes, there will be a lot of pills. The anti-rejection drugs will all but destroy my immune system for a little while, but I'll be fine. One of them won't be covered by my insurance and will cost $1000/month, but luckily I won't have to take it for very long.

As it is, this isn't really all that bad. If you worked with me or just saw me around you'd never know anything was wrong with me. Well, other than being a soulless ginger. I can work and do most of the things I've always done ... I just wear out faster than I did 2 years ago. So, if I had to be stricken with something, this isn't so bad.

I mentioned it before that this diagnosis lead to a lot of very positive changes in my life, so there is a part of me that's grateful for it. I learned to be more kind because you never know what people might be dealing with. There are a lot of people that look perfectly normal that are dealing with a lot ... so just be kind. It also caused me to pause and reflect and think about my future, which lead to my divorce because I was in a marriage that just made me miserable. My wife now is one of the most beautiful people, with one of the purest hearts, that you'd ever meet. I'm definitely much happier there.

My ex was not positive and not supportive. I used to lift weights all the time, pretty heavy (bench workout was 275 for 8, 295 for 6, 315 for 4, then 295 for 6 and 275 for 8 again), but then when I got my diagnosis I had to restrict protein intake so I lifting like that was going to be counter productive without getting the protein in that I needed. So, I was lost. I started training for a triathlon ... long story short, we were at dinner, my triathlon was less than a month away and my son, who was 5, commented on what I was eating and asked why I was eating only that. My ex-wife said "your dad THINKS he's going to do a triathlon". That was the one moment where I was finally just like "**** this, I don't need this ***** in my life anymore".

Here I was ... I had to change something I loved ... but I couldn't just do nothing. I knew I wasn't stopping my disease, but I felt like I had to do SOMETHING so I just got in the best shape I could. And after all of that, just before my triathlon my then-wife says something like that.

My current wife is the exact opposite. So supportive, so pure of heart. And she gives better head too, so it's a win all around.

Anyway ... didn't mean to ramble on

Wow. That's unreal. Best of luck with everything. I have no doubt you'll do fine with a transplant.

Just remember, if you get a kidney from your wife.... you'll never win another argument with her again. [winking]

My present wife is a lot like that. The problem is I've been through one divorce, broke me 30 years ago, and this one would ruin me financially, again, because wife #2 will try and take me to the cleaners. At age 62, I just don't want to start over with no money. She hates golf, I love it. The negative comments never end. Daddy is just playing for clothes. [pfftt]

That sucks, I hate to hear that. My first wife was essentially two entirely different people, one in public and one in private. I could take her to the most beautiful beach in the world and she'd complain about the sand in the towels ... or what somebody said ... or what that woman is wearing. Just none stop. But then when talking to people she'd say what a great time she had.

And she never didn't have a bad day at work. Always. So, I'd always get home and try to cheer her up ... but if I had an actual bad day ... no support from her.

I feel for you ... but there's more important things than money. I struggled financially for about 4-5 years after my divorce, but I'm doing great now.

We still have an 18 year old, starts college next year and a 15 year old. Money is going to be a little harder to come by with both headed for college soon. Both have gone through private school, the one she went to, so I just mouth off like an *** sometimes. Wish I could just ignore some of the stuff but it's not in my DNA.

Yeah, I get it. I mostly just ignored stuff, but every few months or so I would bring up all of her negativity and whatnot and nothing ever changed.

Bitches be crazy yo!
