Just pilots, or employees in general? Although, having worked in high tech and seen how managing engineers really is like herding cats, and as an ATP rated pilot, I've got to imagine pilots aren't any more fun to manage than engineers... | |||

Yep, I am my own worst enemy, no two ways about it. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

My arch enemy from my high school days died long ago, but my lifetime enemy is doing very well. Food. Sometimes, I wish I would lose my sense of taste and smell as a friend of our family did. She had zero issues staying thin, as everything was as blah as it could be. After 19+ years of having no taste, it came back one morning as her son was cooking bacon. What a great thing to smell for the first time in almost 20 years. She put on a bunch of weight the first year after it came back, but then got down to her normal weight again. If only the rest of her life had been so undramatic. She really had a lot of bad stuff happen to her after she retired and moved to FL. | |||

Interesting question. I would have to say my own mortality. I'm 70 and my years are obviously numbered. As I watch my little grand daughter grow up, I find myself thinking about things like will I be around when she graduates from High School, gets married, whatever. I imagine that is fairly normal thinking for people as they age. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

At the moment? The pituitary tumor I am fighting. In general? I am my own worst enemy. | |||

How's your health? My in laws lived into their 90's, and my m-i-l is still with us. I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis 6 and a half years ago. The statistics are that 80% of those diagnosed do not live 5 years after diagnosis. I'm 71 now. No telling if I will make it to 72. There is no point worrying about what tie I will wear at my granddaughters' weddings. They are 8 and 10 now. I can't regard mortality as an enemy. It is and has been part of the deal. You've known for decades that every life comes to this, either to final nothingness as some believe and expect, to to some glorious next stage as many believe. No one knows. My wife believes in reincarnation. I don't, and I didn't last time either. We're just along for the ride. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

For me, it's the cancer I spent all of 2016 fighting and the possibility of it rearing it's ugly head again. I know better than to worry about it but I can't shake the fear. Having said that, it seems that I'm my worst enemy for worrying about something I have little control over.

Time: I am on the downhill side of life now. Fear: Not for myself, but for my son. I feel our society and country are in a continuing decline and cant help wondering how that will play out for him. For all of us. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
