F5 Dan: comair and delta are all happening.. so is
Orlando and so is the girl.. OU.. may not be back
for a while
F5 Dan: strange twisted
thing is... none of the bad
shit is of my direct doings
Nkwc1: woah...did you get booted?
F5 Dan: bad.. really
messed up financial probs
within my family and the whole delta/support thing
have gone to extremes
F5 Dan: will not be back
at OU... earliest til
January of 03.. perhaps longer
F5 Dan: I have some
ridiculous family and friends...
some really messed up friends
Nkwc1: i must be way out of the loop...b/c i don't
know about any of this stuff. so you're going to
orlando and won't be back at ou for 1/2 year?
F5 Dan: at the very
least
F5 Dan: could be for
good
Nkwc1: when does this start?
F5 Dan: Delta/ComAir will
be good for me..
training and then onto career... with lots of money
and lots of privs and hey.. I will first instruct while
getting paid and getting world privs.. then onto
ComAir in time.. then onto Delta
F5 Dan: this
summer
F5 Dan: that is the
upside
F5 Dan: downside... I got
booted from OU for a
while.. (not really sure even as to why.. no hard fact
on anything... false accusations.... the OU PD are
corrupt and KConnor and JV know something
about all this... chris might as well
Nkwc1: that sounds good. what's the down
side?
F5 Dan: well.. bye bye to
OU and my mother and
her rich parents.. tried everything.. and I do mean
everything to keep me from flying
F5 Dan: dangerous drugs
with side effects..
everything to try to dirty my med background so
FAA would pull my med... put me in Griffin without
reason for one and a half weeks... tried to inject me
with drugs... never happened...
F5 Dan: and I heard these
things over the phone..
somewhat anonymously...
Nkwc1: oh my god...
Nkwc1: what in the hell is going on???
F5 Dan: father and brother
have and always will be
behind me(my gfather was a conn CEO at a chem
company and has a lot of money)
F5 Dan: but they had
wanted me to switch career
paths from day one
Nkwc1: to what?
F5 Dan: when this whole
delta thing came to light...
my brother and father did what they could to alert
me
F5 Dan: just something
other then aviation
F5 Dan: because it worries
my mother... they're
daughter
F5 Dan: who always comes
first
Nkwc1: why does it worry her?
F5 Dan: who knows...
natural fears of flying.. and it
naturally worries my gparents...
Nkwc1: ah...
Nkwc1: so she doesn't want you to do it...but i
don't guess she has any choice here...it's what you
want to do. yes?
F5 Dan: so today(with my
father laughing and
grinning when I did this) I called and left a message
on my gparents machine saying how I loved them
etc.. and said that I was about to call the recruiters
of the air force so that I could enlist and fight in
afghanistan... my mom of course also heard this
F5 Dan: well... grinning
afterwards when my mom
was not around
F5 Dan: my mom is going
off the deep end because
her worries of course will magnify times one
thousand if I were to do such a thing.... and my
gparents know it
F5 Dan: they tried to have
me diagnosed as Bi
Polar
Nkwc1: so you're really going to enlist or was that
just a joke?
F5 Dan: so I went to
Huntington today to get a
real.. second opinion.. and my mom was unhappy
about that
F5 Dan: hardcore
bluff
F5 Dan: Huntington
Hospital
Nkwc1: that's what i figured...so she's freaking out
about it?
Nkwc1: dude...so what did they say? or do you
know yet?
F5 Dan: she has been all
over the place the past
few days... here is my take.. my gparents for
whatever reason do not want to support it but either
them or my father will eventually have no choice...
and they know it... my father and her parents have
not liked each otehr for years... my gparents have all
the money and do not want to see my mother
worried
F5 Dan: they chuckled when
I told them that they
were diagnosing me with Bi Polar 1... which I do
not have... and they knew it.... I just have to go to a
psychologist around here to get something solid
written for the FAA
F5 Dan: part of me is
actually wondering..
especially... after today.. if she is my real mother
F5 Dan: mothers day did
not really take place and
my father did not want me to buy her anything
F5 Dan: because there were
times when I had my
father cornered
F5 Dan: and it was as if
he wanted to say
something.. but just would not
F5 Dan: and my brother
gets treated so well by
them
F5 Dan: and I look nothing
like my brother... sound
a look a little like him.. but not much
F5 Dan: and
F5 Dan: so... I am
thinking possibly... I am either
(a) adopted... (b) father had an affair... (c)...
mother did.. not likely.. does not make sense... (d)
financial mess that is trickeling onto me in a real
hardcore way
Nkwc1: woah... hold on for a sec.
F5 Dan: yeah.. it is a lot
to digest
F5 Dan: brb
F5 Dan: alright.. I am
back with a beer in hand
F5 Dan: the alcohol
companies probably thought
that they really could have made some money on me
over the past few days... for the most part.. they
were wrong
Nkwc1: dan, i think you need to let this stuff
settle
down. if you dad is on your side...don't let you
mom's worries get in the way. unless there is some
reason you have to have your mom on your
side...there is shouldn't be any reason to let this get
to you. just do what you want to do. the faster you
can get financially independent...the less you have to
listen to them.
F5 Dan: yeah.. and that is
very true... within a few
months.. I will be financially independent
F5 Dan: I could even do
financial aide this fall
F5 Dan: and
summer
Nkwc1: well, that's good. something to look
forward to.
F5 Dan: but man oh man...
I could have been killed
because of what they had me on
F5 Dan: yeah
Nkwc1: what was that?
F5 Dan: the minocyclene
mixed with the propecia
both had side effects that I was unaware of.. both
have been in the toilet for a while
F5 Dan: u do remember
hearing about the kid who
crashed into the B of A tower in Tampa??
F5 Dan: my mother knew of
these in order to dirty
my med record
Nkwc1: yeah, i remember that kid... what does that
have to do with your mom?
F5 Dan: so... that how
twisted my life is
Nkwc1: i thought propecia was a baldness
drup?
Nkwc1: drug
F5 Dan: those drugs.. she
was the one who
suggested I take them.. and my brother has told me
she pretty much knew the side effects
F5 Dan: side
effects
F5 Dan: I was losing a
touch here and there... really
not much of anything and my hair is full now
Nkwc1: ah
F5 Dan: well...
suzanne
F5 Dan: sorry.. wrong
IM
Nkwc1: so who put you on those drugs?
F5 Dan: so... that is my
twisted life... upside.. I get
to check out the facilities for free in a week..in
orlando... paid by delta/comair.. go storm chasing
with my bro and go to his graduation from med
school before returning to train in a kick ass place
and prgram in orlando
F5 Dan: father was never
in the office the
dermatologist never stayed for more then a minute
Nkwc1: and the side effects mimic bi
polar?
F5 Dan: my mom was the
responsible one...
F5 Dan: oh yes
F5 Dan: depression
Nkwc1: and you're off them now, right?
F5 Dan: and I was very
depressed... and I could
not figure out why... fall semester... since Heather
came along last winter... everything.. and I really do
mean pretty much everything has been going my
way
F5 Dan: hell
yes
Nkwc1: good...don't take anything unless you get a
good second opinion...
F5 Dan: exactly....
F5 Dan: I am not taking
anything right now
F5 Dan: and even the docs
at griffin were hinting at
me
Nkwc1: depression is another thing...
F5 Dan: if I really was Bi
Polar.. it would be an up
and down thing over days... I have been happy
since December
Nkwc1: depending on the cause...they have good
meds for that. my dad and two aunts have been on
various depression meds in the past and they have
worked wonders.
Nkwc1: depression, that s
Nkwc1: is
F5 Dan: my mom I believe
might be depressed.. my
gma probably is
Nkwc1: my dad has a touch of bi polar... he goes
through ups and downs on a daily basis
F5 Dan: yeah...
exactly
Nkwc1: well, i guess all i would suggest is hang in
there...don't let your mom get to you to much...and
make sure to get 2nd opinions. ;-) sounds like
there is a lot to look forward to...esp this orlando
thing.
F5 Dan: yeah...
definitely
F5 Dan: Delta and ComAir
have been calling my
name
F5 Dan: and the travel
privs... trickle down to
friends and fam...
F5 Dan: in a few months...
I can go wherever I
want.. whenever I want.. in the world.. on Delta,
ComAir or ASA.. for free!!!
F5 Dan: so if I decide to
go to Paris, Casablanca or
Marrakech for a day :-)
Nkwc1: :-)
Nkwc1: that'd be nice
F5 Dan: tokyo.. tel aviv..
carribean... fiji
Nkwc1: perks of being a pilot
F5 Dan: pick out a place..
and let me know
F5 Dan: perks of being an
instructor.. that is what is
so awesome.. it starts at the instructor level
F5 Dan: because
technically.. u are then on the
delta ladder
Nkwc1: sheesh... i should say. ;-)
F5 Dan: and instructor
leads to ComAir and then
leads to Delta
F5 Dan: :-)
Nkwc1: so you going to be around norman much
this summer?
F5 Dan: I'll try... I will
be chasing the plains in a few
days for a week and a half
F5 Dan: Norman.. yeah...
I'll try to stop by
F5 Dan: my brother is out
chasing now.. and I will
eventually meet up with him
Nkwc1: when are you hitting the road?
F5 Dan: hopefully by wed..
i will be in the southern
plains for a week and a half.. before they fly me
down to Orlando for the night and day.. then my
bros med school grad.. then back to FLA.. then
we'll see
Nkwc1: well, good luck chasing. once you're out of
norman...your odds imediately go by a factor of 10.
F5 Dan: oh yes
:-)
F5 Dan: I have already
informed my brother of this
F5 Dan: are u going to be
able to get out there at
all?
F5 Dan: and if u happen to
run into Greg Dial of
SPC... say hi to him for me.. I met him while at the
remote control airplane field and of course we got
talking for a while... really nice man
Nkwc1: yeah, probably going to ky in july. any
maybe chasing in the southern plains of the chance
comes up again.
F5 Dan: it would be nice
to run into you
Nkwc1: will be getting a new place in the
fall
F5 Dan: Norman.. well.. on
a non-chase day :-)
Nkwc1: ;-)
F5 Dan: cool... where
at?
F5 Dan: lol ;-)
Nkwc1: not sure yet...probably should start getting
that narrowed down
F5 Dan: hmm..
F5 Dan: well... Commons,
Hampton Woods and
Forest Pointe are all cool
Nkwc1: yeah. have looked at those. most apts in
norman kinda suck. but, then again, most anything
is better than kraettli
F5 Dan: hell
yes
Nkwc1: well, i'm going to be doing some computer
stuff this evening. i'll be online.
F5 Dan: take care then...
and good luck with the
comp stuff...
Nkwc1: yeah, you too. relax some and take
care.
F5 Dan: will do... and u
take care as well... adios...
Nkwc1: c-ya
F5 Dan: take
care
