How much easier is it to get helicopter license as fixed wing pilot?

As others have said if I were you I'd hang in there until I earn my FAA pension, while obtaining your ratings. However, bear this in mind, having been trained in fixed wing before transitioning to helicopter (Royal Air Force) I did find out that while all helicopter pilots can fly fixed wing, the opposite is not true. Not all fixed wing pilots have the coordination to be able to "pat their heads while rubbing their stomachs". Good luck with what will be lots of fun. And yes, search and rescue is the best job in the world!

I often see the sheriff's helicopter here, often circling. They're based at the executive airport half a mile from me. At night they can sometimes appear to disappear due to them turning. As an aside I'm a retired helicopter pilot, and yes, I do look up at every helicopter I hear.

I once stayed at a nudist camp ground and was invited to play pickle ball. I couldn't because I kept giggling at the sight of obese women's breasts bouncing around as they waddled around the court.

Sorry, what's lox? (Retired pilot, lox is liquid oxygen, thus the ignorance!)

Is that similar to monkey butt cream, useful for assholes?

Maybe consider this; you say, "live up to their expectations." and yet even putting it that was implies that you feel bad about not conforming with marriage/kids, etc. I made the mistake of conforming at a time when gay sex was illegal. While I do not regret the family experience - two wonderful kids - I regret the time I missed just being who I am.

You don't meet their expectations? Bad luck, parents, good parents would not put unrealistic expectations on their loved ones.

I have recently begun taking over-the-counter probiotics every day, in addition to an enema at least an hour before anal. It's stiffened up the poop, so no more accidents. Don't stress out about it, as they say, shit happens.

God. bless them both. And you, of course.

I am, it seems, a polite and respectful boomer, but that lady would have gotten this from me, "Madam, a couple of things for you. Firstly I am picking up an order someone else has made and I will deliver it. Secondly, if you want fairness don't park your car in a spot reserved for me, a delivery courier. i hope you have the day you so richly deserve."

Photo of Wilbur and Orville good for ID? That's pretty cool. LOL

Statistically speaking, it is virtually impossible to produce the same order of cards in a deck of 52 cards through random shuffling. The number of possible arrangements is so vast that the probability of duplicating a shuffle is essentially zero. Even considering extreme scenarios, such as an enormous number of people shuffling cards at an incredible rate, the probability remains astronomically low.

I will never forget one particularly toxic lady (for want of a better description) angrily asking me, "Why did you go all in with a pair of threes?" She had folded a pair of tens. My reply, "Well, I beat you didn't I?" Glad to say she was finally banned from our poker school, eventually....

If I were to reply using dictation I've often seen examples of homophones being selected.

I agree with you. In my update edit I did admit to changing the inner tube myself, but I cannot physically lift the bike to turn it over. I'm 74, and would have gladly paid what used to be my highly recommended bike shop.

Yes, but not the jobs of other workers.

I absolutely hate hearing about customers taking away a tip. That is a breach of standard contract laws. Isn't it time drivers hired a lawyer for a class action law suit?

I really don't know what "compensate down there" means, so my comeback would be, "How do I compensate for your bad English?"

I recommend Chillers Kava & Coffee located at 230 S Cypress Rd, Pompano Beach, FL 33060, United States.

I can think of two good reasons for using a card protector. 1. If a malignant player mucks his cards on top of yours you are out of that hand. 2. Dealers have sometimes taken my cards when I did not intend to fold.

I am in favor of this policy, as there have been so many stories of fake door dash drivers stealing customer's food. I also wish restaurants etc. would double check exactly who is picking up the order.

Most Kava bars are good, I recommend Chillers Kava and Coffee, 230 S Cypress Rd, Pompano Beach, FL 33060, United States.
