<p>My husbands family (four kids) drove every summer to Colorado from Delaware. They did it in two days were part of the gas-bathroom-eat-in-one-stop crew. Unfortunately, my husband also thinks this is a very efficient way of driving on vacations. The only way to combat this is for me to drive and I just pull over whenever I feel like it.</p>
<p>Maybe this poor lady and a few of the American Idol contestants can all make a grand tour because really it is so great to make fun of people with mental illnesses, isn’t it. </p>
<p>On the other hand, maybe she hadn’t slept for a week or has a brain tumor. That would be more fun, still, right.</p>
<p>Yeppers, roshke. That’s the photo.</p>
<p>I think there’s something in the water out in Clear Lake that is causing women to go postal.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>wait, don’t you mean “go astronaut”?
;)</p>
<p>Can I join the crazy car trip club- 850 miles- November- just me- no stops but gas/food and, oh yeah, the top was down! As long as I stayed over 60MPH when it rained, I did not get wet!</p>
<p>someom, you’re in. The convertible with the top down gets you in.</p>
<p>Well, if I stopped to put it up, i would have been soaked, as long as I went just a little faster, I stayed dry…you think the highway patrol would have bought that story if I were pulled over :D</p>
<p>Lisa Nowak got fired by NASA today, but, hello,
</p>
<p>Wow, will she be working undercover?</p>
<p>Ah, plenty of new young recruits for her! Great thread name, that’s great!</p>
<p>Latest was also she was arrested with emails sent to her love interest on the space station from her victim. I can just see it, “when I get down to earth I’m going to ring her bell!”.</p>
<p>Ah, what a space cadet.</p>
<p>I think that this must have been caused by something neurological that was previoously undiagnosed. The whole scene is truly stranger than fiction and surprising in different ways.</p>
<p>Astronauts are pretty much the “best of the best of the best” of military aviators, to use a phrase from Men in Black. They are screened - physically, psychologically, background check, etc. - and trained to a degree that is unsurpassed by any job I can think of.</p>
<p>Also, two military women fighting over a man in the military is quite shocking, given the male/female ratio. I could halfway see two males locking horns over a female in a similar situation, though.</p>
<p>LAGator: I thought you were a kid from Los Angeles studying at Univ. of Florida. Chomp, chomp!</p>
<p>backhandgrip: Actually a native Floridian and UF grad who has lived in Louisiana for almost 9 years. I’m in my late 30s and wanted to add my thoughts since I spent a few years in the military flying community. Go Gators!</p>
<p>well, the guy was some catch as well</p>
<p>CGM did you think so? He struck me as kind of creepy and slimy, dating his coworkers like that…I could see dating one, maybe, but it almost seems like he was making his rounds without regard to any responsibility to the women in the relationships…I mean, couldn’t he find anyone to date outside of work?</p>
<p>ya missed the sarcasm</p>
<p>Oh, good. LOL I’m glad, because that would be frightening, if someone actually did think the man was even slightly interesting. I think they should have the other woman assessed as well, since she’s evidently somewhat involved with him, or at least she’s in an email relationship with him.</p>
