Hello beautiful @Sophia1
I just want to share this with you. You may already know but just in case...
When you click on reply, if you then click on quote it will bring up the members message that you are replying to. This way there's never any confusion.
Little tip, if you do it though, make sure you tag the person...even though there are tag/s in the quote it doesn't tag the tagged, if that makes sense...
Let me show you...
I clicked on quote and the below populates then I will tag you so you receive the notification @Sophia1
Here's a picture too x
Love always Sophia 🌼💛

Thank you for the welcome and interesting update of everyone..
This is very helpful as I feel exhausted trying to even think about reading back over all previous posts..
I am not good at responding to very busy posts..
This probably sounds odd.
I feel safe on my living with ourselves post because that is where I retreat to..
I also feel safe on the virtual writing thread as there I have been able to allow my mind to roam free..
You might have noticed that my responses in different areas do not land in time as they take so long for me to write.
Often they do not make sense..
Can confuse people
At times upset people..not my intent at all
I try also to support others who are really struggling or whom I have made a connection with and generally respond to them on the living ourselves thread again..
There are a few threads where I recognise that people are doing the same as me feeling safe in that space in that thread..
I try to support those..
I cannot say that I do that well all of the time.
I do try my hardest and work very hard at attempting to put into words how deeply I can feel the pain of others..
You might notice that I retreat...am seen about less often...write to myself..
at times my personal life requires me to have time away as well.
this I am aware of and will take time out when all too much in my real world..
I will try to come over here when you tag me..
I just know that I will be too overwhelmed to visit on a daily basis..
This has nothing to do with you or any other on here..
This is my looking after myself and setting personal boundaries for my own self care .
I think that the title of this thread is very inviting.
I do believe that you also have everyone's best interests at heart also..
There is also a mixture of history...life experiences....hobbies...interests and so much more..
A good vibe.
Thank you also for all of your supports in the background to my posts..
hugs my friend
Sophia 💛 sunshine to warm your heart and help heat up the huge lofty ceiling...expansive size of such a friendly, welcoming hangar..

Hello @Emelia8
and other members and visitors to the "Hangar"
Really enjoyed and appreciated the descriptions of your own flying experiences and those of your family, @Emelia8 , and really love the flying outfit, as described!! Elsewhere I have said that my first solo flight was the most exhilarating experience that I have ever had on my own. So I can appreciate the feeling of being in a small plane, both as a passenger and as a pilot.
My own flying was cut short by the ever present need for $$$., probably with a few more zeros. However, I still enjoy planes as an interest.
Your brother's achievement in learning the "art of flying" was a considerable accomplishment. I believe that flying is indeed an art in which each of the senses have their part, even the acid like sensation on the tongue when something appears to have gone wrong. I can understand that it would have been, not only an achievement for your brother, but also a way of dealing with his personal issues. The theory for flying is very rigorous because you don't get many second chances in making decisions other than the correct ones.
The story about your husband in the jet-fighter aircraft and the expression "...you won't hear the third" brought a big smile for me.
Thank you for the vivid descriptions of the flying experiences of you and your family @Emelia8 , and for sharing them in the "Hangar"
Wishing you and other members and visitors a very pleasant and maybe even exhilarating weekend.
With Best Wishes

Thank you @Sophia1
Especially for your visit and also your description of where you are at and the way that you feel comfortable interacting in various threads and with others on the forum.
The "Hangar" is a place where you can sit quietly with a cuppa and simply observe, or interact with others as you wish. Please come in browse around, it is simply a place where people can enjoy each others company as close or as distant as they may wish. Sharing, if and when you may want to and quietly in accordance with how you feel at any given time. Certainly anything but pressure.
I look forward to catching up in the "Writing Letters...." thread and I follow in the "living with ourselves" thread, where there, it is I who is mostly an observer and only offer a comment when and if I feel that it is appropriate.
With My Best Wishes to You@Sophia1

Hello @RedHorse
and other visitors to the "Hangar"
Your reference, yesterday @RedHorse , to a horse like entry "Thought I'd trot into your hangar to say Hi 🙋" was nicely placed. Particularly now that the "Denver International Airport 😁" mascot and cousin, Blucifer, has been released from quarantine. The mascot and take-off of the plane at Denver is also in keeping with the themes of the thread.
Very pleased that you did trot over to say "Hi"
Just an easy going place where people can relax and enjoy, get together for a conversation or enjoy the various visual contributions offered by various members, such as fiery eyed horse mascots, beaches, planes and other items of interest.
With Best Wishes
