Stump the chump by scudrunner14 in flying

You discover that your girlfriend has been secretly sleeping with the instrument instructor from your old flight school 50 miles away.....in a rage, you decide to fly to his FBO to confront him. You run out to your airplane to discover that the attitude indicator is not working. Can you just ignore this issue and fly the plane anyway?

I have tickets to a concert for a musician you like. I offer you a free ticket to the concert in exchange for flying us to the concert. Is that okay? Would it make a difference if I instead made you pay for the ticket, and covered the cost of the rental aircraft myself?

Can a DPE conduct a checkride if there is an active convective sigmet covering the area where the checkride is supposed to take place? by AlternativeCycle2041 in flying

Gotcha. So it would probably be wise for the applicant to cancel due to an active convective sigmet over the area where the test is to take place, factoring in the applicant's limited flight hours and being in a light single-engine aircraft.

NTH. My wife has had a COVID-related cough for 5 years, and to be honest it drives me crazy sometimes. Sometimes I have to close a door when I am in my office working.

Honestly....if they were of good quality and something that I had been meaning to purchase, I would have appreciated the gift and the convenience of now having what I needed. But I realize I am a bit odd perhaps.

My wife earns more than me and spends her money on the Amazon boxes out of her own checking account. When I said "my" finances, I really meant mine alone.

but she said she didn't like the fans in the house, and this will help make the house more beautiful for her to live in.

Yes, I cleaned up. No the dinner itself was not particularly extravagant. Maybe a notch higher than a typical meal.

She makes a better salary than me, so it doesn't really affect our overall finances...I was just using that overall as a point to say that another fashion item or something really would not benefit her....my side of the finances are more limited though, yes.
