    So why post a photo of someone else in a wedding dress?

    Because I'm assuming she was curious about people's opinion on the dress, and not the woman wearing it. The black border around the picture is also a pretty good indication the photo wasn't uploaded from a camera or phone, which is usually done for web pages.

    Mongol?

    Traditional garb is in order then.

    LOL. Great movie.

    Would it be Mongol or Mongoloid?

    Yes.

    I am. I have mentioned numerous times what my racial identity is.

    You are obviously not a Verizon user. You have to text your picture to your online album and then upload it to your Photobucket. Now, you are acting like a psycho (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) trolling for attention. Please excuse yourself if you cannot stay on topic.

    To confirm, that is you in the photo?

    I thought you were a brunette?

    I am, but I have been getting chunks of blonde put in for the last four years.

    In all fairness, I don't read your every post. But an Irish white Mongoloid with blonde hair is a new one for me.

    Looks like somebody's feelings are hurt. I didn't realize commenting on the picture you posted was trolling.

    Assuming that is you in the photo, I think you're very pretty in that dress...
    bearing in mind that I don't know jack squat about wedding dresses.

    I am not Irish nor am I blonde.


    Not my feelings, but it is the exact same thing you said to me in a thread you made, despite my comment actually being on topic. You have done nothing but act like a queen in this thread. If you have nothing intelligent to add, do not post.

    Well neither did I. His mother and sister did and thank heavens for that. Still took four hours, which is three and a half hours too long.

    You look very feminine in the dress.

    Why go blonde? I think brunette suits you better.

    That is what I am afraid of. Should have done the military wedding. Half of the crap I tried on looked like it was puked out of a Disney princess film. It was a horrible experience, Herk. I need counseling.

    I have fairer skin and my natural color is harsh. I do not mind either way, but I think the lighter hair, while more difficult to maintain, looks a little better. Besides, I am in Cali now. Everyone is blonde. Either I fit in with the LA girls or the Mexicans.

    Anyways, have to put off the chit chat. I have work to do. As much as I would love to talk dresses with you...

    You need to eat a cheeseburger however...
    Be glad you have FBW controls in your airplane...I doubt you could handle a C-130 under load with those skinny arms of yours. :)

    Irish white is a term, meaning extremely white...

    Your comment was on topic, yes, and addressed ME. When I gave you a run down of why certain things were not included, you blew your stack and somehow tried to play your post as an address towards the entire forum. Then you seemed to become further enraged when I attributed your attitude towards possible female issues. So yes, I did give you a post something like that, and it was well deserved, and probably why I just said "somebody's feelings are still hurt". You are in constant conflict in every thread I manage to stumble across, and of course it's everyone else - so please - reserve the queen title for yourself. How long ago was it you threatened to leave the forum and threw a monstrous tantrum because Herk said something that got under your skin? You, my dear, have emotional issues out the wazoo...

    You look lovely in your dress BTW.

    I was joking, I was expecting something more butch in terms of a photo
    of you in a dress. Pre-conceived idea of what a female fighter pilot would look like
    in a wedding dress I guess.

    Don't feel too bad, I posted a photo and someone commented that the watch I was wearing
    was "gay" looking...so we have to take our lumps for putting ourselves "out there" I suppose.

    I think you look great in the dress, and will be a beautiful bride.

    No, you gave some half-assed, sarcastic reply as to why each item was not in your bag. I have never been enraged, only amused. Except for that time you referenced when Herkdriver was extremely personal, which is a bit much for an internet forum. Though "monstrous tantrum" is simply you engaging in hyperbole (which is generally a "female" trait BTW).

    You are trying to turn this into some sexist motive and you could not be more wrong. I am in conflict because it is amusing. I am blunt and cutting, that gets in people's heads. If that makes you cry, well then shove it up your ass. I post here for my own entertainment.

    I have been screened through and through, especially for my current position. There are no issues, emotional or otherwise, on my end. Perhaps you are just projecting seeing as how you have always been quick to be reactionary and sensitive when I have talked to you. I understand that as a former helo pilot, you need to try and compensate for your short comings, but do not project your emotional issues onto others to try them bring them down. Build yourself up.

    Whether I am right or wrong about your sensitivity will depend on how you volley that last statement. Choose wisely, otherwise you will be labeled a "female."

    There are not too many butch female fighter pilots. Most I know from the F-15, F-22, and F-16 community are thin. Now, I have never met a non-butch MX officer. They are a different animal. One I met in Afghanistan looked like Stone Cold Steve Austin with a buzz head.

    And yes, I remember the gay watch debacle. Hilarious. He may have been more on point if you were donning a Navy uniform.

    I cant quote that entire thing because I'm using my phone so we'll just run through some of the quickies, and in all honesty, you're tiring me out with this constant drama (or amusement, as you put it).

    First of all, no one here is crying. I understand little statements like that may be part of your defense mechanisisms, but please, let's talk like adults if you want to have a serious conversation. Secondly, I'm not a former pilot; I'm currently a pilot, and even if I was, how exactly is that a short coming? Are you delusional enough to think people have pilot envy? Personally, there are about a million jobs I can think of I'd rather have.

    The screening you've undertaken for your current position means about as much as a turd in the grass to me. If I remember correctly, didn't a NASA astronaut recently turn out to be a psychotic nut case with emotional problems? Do I expect you to admit you're an emotional train wreck? Of course not, we both know you're not going to do that, but from what I've seen you have issues (amusement, whatever)....so please, do your little thing, call me a girl or female, whatever it is that makes you feel a little better as a person.

    Oh, and call the Herk incident whatever you will, I saw more (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing and moaning from an adult in a hour than I've seen from my 3 year old daughter after she scraped her knee.

    From lighting fart contests to wedding dresses.
    Man... you move fast even when you're not in a plane!
    You have to love it!

    Good for you Governor and a sincere congratulations to you both!

    I wish that happened even though I would lose because I am not that gaseous. Oh well. The man is a perfect specimen, aside from the fact that he is a 49ers fan. I do not know what the puking icon is, but it would go here.

    Wilco. I wish the media had a little more discretion. They did not need to announce who got Bin Laden and they especially could have avoided disclosing the loss of so many Team 6 members. You only fuel the Taliban by doing that. RIP, men. Blue skies.

    It's your thread, and your engagement... I don't want to change topics...
    just the bickering needs to go.

    both of you.

    your calls.
