Hi There!

[Passenger Mark]

Howdy Back! How is Mickey???

Lynda is Florida Fan, has registered, but has not posted yet. Going to have to work real hard to keep you two separated! ;)

[RosieEarl]

Hi Mark and everyone. Nice to see you on this board. Look forward to chatting with you all in the future.

Rosie in Sheffield, UK.

[Passenger Mark]

Howdy Rosie and Lynda!

Welcome, and Lynda I did get the message

The new board has had some problems logging folks in. For some reason if you run your name together it works.

For instance, when I type "Passenger Mark" it will not take it, but if I type "passengermark" it does take it.

Well, it will take time to grow. Please take a look at the annoucements column.

Thanks,

Mark

Hey Guys!

I'm here! I talked to Michael (the infamous FurloughedAgain) today and asked him if he would be willing to come over to this board sometime. :) He is great at answering questions for fearful flyers!

Round up the rest of the gang, Mark. Where's Ken, Monica, Leslie, Debbie, Huey and Ray?

:)

[Passenger Mark]

Hey!!!!!

Wow, We have Willflytodisney, and Disney Fan all on the same board. Need to change the name from Fear of Flying to Disney Addicts ha ha :rollin

You wrote...

Ken, Monica, Leslie, Debbie, Huey and Ray?

I did email Ray and received a positive email in return.

As for the others... I do not know how to get ahold of them. I do not have their email. I guess I could PM, but for some reason I am having a hard time with that.

I really want to get this thing fired up! And fired up in the right way. Heck I have flights that I want to take!

Thanks,

Mark

[cammie31]

Thanks so much for doing this, Mark. You're a prince among fearful flyers, and I look forward to joining this community to get over my FOF.

Thanks again,

[Passenger Mark]

Hi Cammie...

Thank you!

[smokycmt]

Hi there!

I am glad to see all of these familiar faces....

Mark, you may remember me....miss Biofeedback!

Christine

[Passenger Mark]

Hi Christine,

Yes I do remember you! And you are welcome to talk about your experiences!

Take care,

Mark

[canoga2]

I feel sorta strange posting here. Like I am cheating on my husband or something! :lol

I gotta be honest and say that I'm not 'mad' at Tom or anything. I try really hard to take in what I like and leave the rest alone. I don't have a personal beef with him or anything - even if my political views are different.

But......my buds are posting here so I may try to straddle the two lists. I like everyone sooooo much and really hated to see what happened the last few days. So many feelings were hurt.

Oh well, I just wanted to say howdy to everyone and hope we all get back to the business on conquering this fear. I need to fly out to Los Angeles sometime to introduce my 2yr old to Mike's (DH) family. I have been too scared to do that as the CLE - LAX flight has always been a real scary one for me.

Take care ya'll!

Beth

[xiknal]

it's nice to be back on the surface again in a place where I can think and speak freely. Whew, still indulging the clear, fresh air here.

Doin' a fair bit of aerobatics lately! My avalanches are pretty sloppy, though...ever do those? Even the sloppy ones are fun. :rollin

I'm especially delighted to see you here!

Hidey ho all!

Just wanted to add my post to the growing list. Congrats on the new board, Mark! Unfortunately, between reading this one, the existing SOAR board, and the one that Vester pointed out on MSN, I may never get any work done!

Looking forward to continuing our FOF dialogs...

All the best,

Ice.

[YankssRule]

Just wanted to be part of the group...wanted to say "hello" to all.

[GOIRISH]

Just thought I'd pop in.
Mark...YOU ROCK! :)

[beaugest]

I had to laugh at the cheating at husband line.
I also don't want to lose old support buddies. I don't think Mark's intention would be to make people choose between here and Soar. Just provide a place where folks might feel more comfortable. I'm not trying to speak for you, Mark. Just saying I imagine folks should feel free to post in more than one place. Although, I agree---we all may get fired spending time bopping between three sites...then we can start a fear of unemployment site...Monica

[firstimer01]

hey everyone...i just saw what happened at the other place..ill be glad to be a part of this board if its ok...hi kelley and hello to everyone else...

[CaptainStark]

Congrats on your board Mark!

Looks pretty good.

Now lets get the word out!!!

Ray

PS I love your choice of jets!!!!

[canoga]

Just FYI - I sent you a PM over on Tom's board. Don't know how often you check it and if you checked it 6mos from now, you would be scratching your head wondering what the heck I was talking about. Not that you don't do that now......:D

Beth

Hope this comes through as me being registered. I finally got my cookies set up to be able to register on my home desktop. Ya know, for a programmer, I really sucked at that task.

[CaptainStark]

Great,

I'll go check it.

Ray

[Passenger Mark]

Hi Beth!

Thanks for posting... and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being at both boards, or all three! Definately will not hurt my feelings!

I think that the more active boards there are like this... the better!

The purpose of creating this board WAS NOT for people to choose sides, but to choose to get support and help for FOF, and have fun at the same time!

Take care!

Mark

[xiknal]

Chris!!

It's great to see you here! :D
I hope you will share your success with us.

Beth,

I can't access my PM account over there. It won't let me even register. If it's not too much of a hassle, cut and paste it to captainstark@earthlink.net

THANKS!

Ray

Silly computers! GRRRRR! Another unfulfilled promise by the tech geeks!!!!:lol

[jesgooch]

Hi!

Just wanted to let you know you can count me in :)
Pretty busy in my new job but will send a shout here and there.

Jess

[xiknal]

I just wanted to add that I am delighted that Mark has set this up. I had been absent from the SOAR board for a couple of months due to the constraints I felt over there about talking about my experiences with/understanding of FOF. I am not here to rag on Tom, and I will say up-front that I believe in the SOAR program, just not exclusively. I need someplace to feel comfortable giving back what I think is useful from my experience and learning more along the way. This looks like the place. :D

I also loved that line about cheating on the hubby, ha! :lol
But I don't feel that way meself...it's more like starting a new relationship after a rocky breakup.

[canoga]

Spooooky - I was just wondering where you had gone to this afternoon!

I can tell it is going to be a pain in the bum to learn all of these new screen names. Plus, this board is blue (not gray and white) and my tired eyes can't get used to it yet!

:rollin

[xiknal]

...all these screen names...whew!! we will have to manage somehow!

I never went away, just went underground.

Did you ever see that pair of limericks I wrote for you? :D

[CaptainStark]

YEAH!

Barb,

I have missed your insightful comments ever since the last "vetting" on our previous "location." What was the motto, "Wrong Thinking Will Be Punished?"

Glad to see your words again.

Ray

[MadScientist]

i'm here too Mark!

KEN

[Passenger Mark]

Hi Ice!

Welcome, and say howdy to Nashville for me!

[Passenger Mark]

Hey Janet, Gorish, Monica, Firstimer, Ray, Janet, Jess, and Ken!

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I am new at this stuff!

And Monica, you are VERY correct, and can speak for me anytime in regards to that subject. I DO NOT want folks to choose sides!

Oh sorry about the purple and grey, I will see what I can do!

And Ray, about the jet... my two favorites in one photo... Southwest and Las Vegas!!

Actully plan to change the photo from time to time. Had a VA 747 taking off from LAX yesterday.

Glad you are still around & glad you started a new forum Mark!

Hope you had fun at Cali speedway.. I had to work:|

Jeff

[xiknal]

I love the lavender and grey;
they chase anxiety away.

:smokin

[WillFlyToDisney2]

Ice - greetings to BNA!! I'll be flying thru there on Monday on my way home from Cali. :)

Glad everyone found us!

Kelley

[smokycmt]

I saw your post above...it feels good to be on this board!! I am so glad Mark started it.

I have a flight coming up on Sunday....dear God help me :\

[flier72]

I like the new color scheme too! Very calming!!!

[Disney fan]

Hi Barb!

Glad you are here.

Glad you are all here!!!! I agree with all the different names it is hard to recognise each other. I changed my name from Lynda to Disneyfan but it is confusing.


Lynda

[xiknal]

Hi, Lynda!! It's great to see you here too! You have provided so much thoughtful input about FoF in the past "over there" that I know you will be a Rock of Gibraltar over here! And thank you, too, for your statements of support when things got a bit gnarly there. It's really nice, too, to see such friendly representation from across the pond--I saw Rosie Earl here; where's Chris?

Barb :)

[smokycmt]

Hi Barb, just saw your last post. I'm checking in. I posted below about my upcoming flights this weekend. Feeling really nervous and anxious about it. I think it's partly due to being grounded for 3 months :\

I am really glad to be here!

Chris - figured I should sign my name..whoops :)

[Disney fan]

Barb,

I have emailed Chris, He is a very busy director of an IT company so may just be busy at present. I will try his work email if I can locate it.

I am sure Yvonne will drop in too , she is a teacher and the children have just gone back to school over here, she too may just be going through a busy period.

This board already has a nice calming feeling about it and I am sure it is going to have lots of activity.

When I figure out how to post a pic I will put one up of our UK meeting.

Lynda
