I personally prefer Rusteze medicated bumper ointment, now with a new rear end formula.

Interesting FTB. Tell me more! Unless you mean the stuff from Pixar.. which is another support group all together


Is it a dutch product? I don't trust anything made by the dutch, except water engineering (perhaps there could be something here... dutch and moisture problems... hummm, more thought to follow on that one) . By the name alone it does not appear to be Dutch but just to be careful.

There are two things I can't stand, people who are intolerant of other people's culture and beliefs and the Dutch.

Thankfully, I have been off the line in training which has helped with the transition from sweaty balls and the constant need of god's creation.

The real problem will be when I have to transition back to the right seat of the MD88. This will no doubt test my resolve. Perhaps, a support group may be in order. My last attempt will be to approach flight ops and ask to transition to the 7er or airbus due to the nature of my serious condition.

I understand that will only solve the "not so fresh feeling" The bigger challenge lies ahead with how to overcome that tingling sensation? I am not sure if it was a gift from god, or a curse. Never-the-less it's a sensation I will struggle to overcome, for sure!

Recommendations:

First, I tried to cut it with baking soda thinking that I would try and trick the boys. They quickly saw through my scheme. In protest they made the day more uncomfortable and itchy... I suppose it was a retaliation move on their part.

Next I tried to swipe some of the kids baby powder thinking the wife would not recognize. Damn, I was wrong, she measures that better than her cooking ingredients. She confronted me, without hesitation I broke into a apology and made up a story that I used it on my arm pits. O' the humility that I lied about a white powder substance. Besides, it leaves a unmistakable residue in the boxer/briefs where as gold bond seems to melt away, somehow knowing that you are trying to hide the use from your significant other (now that we have to include ALL couples) or even our brothers in NRT who use the laundry Asian laundry services.

I will try a multi-prong approach looking for support from my aviation brothers (I hope not sisters...that would be just disgusting) as well as my personal resolve to handle this situation.

In closing all recommendations are welcome to get this Pandora back in the box...or least manageable where it does not control my life with applications in hidden spaces.
Disclaimer: I never flew a Douglas product.

I came back to the cockpit after a break and my predecessor had such a bad case of swamp a$$ that it actually got me wet. Not damp...wet.

I liberally laid down a nest of paper towels to soak up the excess. It is poor form to be the flying pilot and not be in the seat. I sat back down on my nest.

After the second break, I rebuilt a nest in front of the offender and plunked my butt back down. The multilayer of paper towels were doing their job this time and I was staying dry.

I think Douglas products ruin people's anatomy and there should be fences to keep them off Boeings. Or another solution could be to mandate that all Douglas pilots be issued oops I crapped my pants diapers to absorb their excessive a$$- liquid production.

The 12 step program isn't enough to allow every former Douglas pilot to be reintegrated into general population.

I just started to use the spray. I've been easing in.....only 2 short bursts per application. Is this how it all begins?

The spray is just a much more potent form of application. I tried it two weeks in, foolishly thinking it may be a bridge too which I could curb my rapidly increasing addiction. I was, however, unpleasantly mistaken as I blacked out for two whole days. When I came to I was sleeping in bag cart in CMH covered in empty Cool Ranch Doritoes sporting a fresh tattoo of a Delta widget really giving it to a Northwest 747.

If I had any savings left I'd pay for the laser removal, but until then ill just have to keep my shirt on at the pool.
