My weight loss wasn't intentional (brought on by stress and mental health issues), hence why people became worried. If I try to maintain myself at 54kg people might stay worried :P

I bought this combo pack of shampoo & conditioner the other day and today I come to use them (I always wash my hair on the weekend) and find that I somehow bought two bottles of shampoo, and not shampoo & conditioner :x. They must have fudged up when packaging the bottles together.

i got a steak sandwich and an iced chocolate for lunch yesterday.
i locked the door of my car before i went to get them because there were some people who i did not like the look of standing on the footpath near where i parked.
when i got back to my car, i had to put the iced chocolate on the roof while i unlocked the door to get back in, and i drove off rapidly back to my home before the steak sandwich got soggy.

when i got home i ate my steak sandwich and then i realized i had no iced chocolate to finish it off with.
i went outside and saw a smearing of iced chocolate on the roof of my car and a drizzle down the drivers side rear window and i realized i forgot to take it off the roof before i drove away.

i can not remember what the people who made me lock my car looked like so i was unable to go back and find them and get restitution for my lost iced chocolate.

the bastards!! they took advantage of my prosopagnosia and i almost want to get a session with a hypnotist so i can remember their faces.

grrrrr

My nose, on any plane, pitches forward. Why is that? I am tired of losing altitude when I just want to fly straight.

retract your flaps and do not fly too fast for the type of airplane that you are flying in.

maybe you are loading a flight you previously saved where your elevators are fully down. it takes quite a while for the elevators to level off after you set the autopilot to a greater altitude than your beginning altitude.

i suggest you load up a generic flight that you did not save, and then change the plane and use the autopilot so that you can choose the altitude and speed to dial into it, and then you will be free to steer wherever you want without having to worry about maintaining altitude.

heavy and powerful jets will climb at 1800 feet per minute, and small planes will climb at 700 feet per minute.

no modern pilots neglect to use the autopilot.

I use autopilot, but sometimes it does nothing for me. Weird.

I HATE THE WAY MY HOUSE IS BUILT!! ! It is an old manufactured house that doesn't sit squarely on the ground. This causes vibration and carrying over of noise from other houses. In fact, it is much like living in a tent. When my neighbor in a separate house lifts weights, I can hear every thump. (I also sometimes hate my supersonic hearing) Last night I nearly melted down, because my neighbor on the other side of this duplex, was making a racket. Meaning, every time he walked from one room to another (he is a heavy heel walker) I startled. Then, he was shifting and dragging things around. My boyfriend has figured out that I am very sensitive to low frequency noises, such as bass notes on car stereos, dull thudding noises, such as car doors shutting repeatedly, and heel walkers. These types of sounds drive me to distraction, tears, meltdown. I finally had to take a tranquilizer, because I was either going to meltdown or inflict bodily harm on my neighbor. Rumor has it that he is moving out soon, but why must he pack house in the middle of the night? :evil: :evil: :evil:

you can set your autopilot, but you must also activate it before it will work.
make sure your autopilot is active.

It is active, it just pitches still even with altitude set to be stable.

what plane are you flying?
i am off to bed now because it is 2am and i will be back in about 12 hours.

i will say that if you can fly a plane in the simulator then you will be able to fly a real plane in real life.
it is not meant to be easy, but it is not too difficult if you pay attention to all the subdynamics that are necessary to consider when flying.

i will talk more tomorrow as i am very attracted to my big soft bed.
see ya

It works on bigger planes. It's just the prop planes that do it.

And bai.

I was really excited when I heard they were making a cartoon wolf movie called Alpha and Omega. I thought it was going to be like Balto, another cartoon wolf movie which was one of my special interests as a child. Part of the story of Alpha and Omega even takes place in Idaho. But when I watched the trailer, I was very disappointed. The wolves' bodies are out of proportion, the animation isn't smooth and the whole thing feels too childish for anyone but small children to enjoy. Looks like Balto is still the 'alpha' of wolf movies even though it's been almost 15 years since it was made.
