Things to remember in very hot weather

Interesting observations. Somehow I never considered flying under IFR
a solitary activity: there are real people on the ground I communicate
with very frequently, in meaningful ways.
I communicate with real people when I fly in simulation. Does that count,
too?
Another point is people here don't offer posts looking for handouts,
or confess not having enough money to enjoy a McDonald's hamburger
either.
Most people are too proud to discuss their failings.
Or for that matter wondering if they can afford to buy a
joystick so they might be able to play MSFS better.. These are things
you've done, and are a measure of a less than fruitful life.
Or perhaps I don't see any reason to keep such things a secret.
If talking to simulated controllers when you simulate flight with MSFS
gives you pleasure it counts for you.
If posting seemingly authoritative opinions here brings you pleasure,
even when it takes Clinton-like distortions of the language to pretend
you're not in error, that's fine too.
But so long as you make note of your economic situation without
correcting it, don't expect to be taken seriously. Flying has a price,
and most here are willing to pay that price.
The thing that puzzles me is that you did do a courageous thing --
perhaps not wise, but courageous, when you moved to Paris. I wonder
what changed that drove your life to where it is, and that prevents
you from doing something to correct that. It sounds like depression,
but who knows?
In any event, keep on posting. This isn't a psychological self help
group, so you can expect to be treated like one of the group's clowns.
As is evident from the amount of responses you get, you are providing
pleasure to the newsgroup readers -- everyone wins.
Post away.
