Aren't you in your 20s? And a millionaire? You could just buy a plane.

Honestly, based on your comments on APC I think you could really benefit from a therapist. Being able to work through your issues productively and get to a place of inner peace will significantly improve your life. Feeling like a failure every day is not normal, and being able to talk to a therapist would really help give you some perspective.

Because of that it’s beneficial to get further exposure to strengthen the immune system.

As I said, he and his whole staff have been infected and are living according to their own advice. Because of their confidence, I’m following the same advice.

My daughter in college has had it twice this school year. I’m just going with what I know.

That is sad. I hated flying with guys with that attitude. I fish and dive on my two boats. Lately I've been targeting Swordfish and caught one solo in December. I take trips on one to the Bahamas and the other to the Keys, kiteboard, snowboard, hunt big game and birds, hike in Switzerland, have dinner parties at my house with friends and family. The only thing I'm not liking is visiting Doctors. My New Year's resolution was to not meet any new Doctors, I lasted 10 day.

get out there and find something to do.
cheers,
Sparky

Know your audience.
One thing I find about pilots and people in general who latch on to every wack job conspiracy theory is that while they love to talk the talk they never walk the walk. After hundreds of lectures on the collapse of civilization and government lying about everything I always ask if they have prepped for their beliefs. With exactly one exception the answer is always no other than maybe a token gold purchase. I then ask why they don’t believe in what they preach and get a blank stare! The one exception was a SLC CA who lived in a bunker near Reno and immediately converted every pay check completely into gold, silver and ammo. I admired the fact that he actually believed what he preached unlike all the others. He was however still a wack job but fun to fly with!

I remember that guy... He would always point out the radial/DME off of the VOR where he lived. He was nutz, and from what I remember a flaming *******.... not to me, but he gave the FOs a hard time.
