Vertigo absolutely sucks. My wife has occasional occurrences of it when a loose particle in her inner ear balance mechanism moves. Then she has to do a prescribed head movement to get the loose particle back in a place where it does no harm.

I experienced some vertigo a couple of years ago while in a full-motion flight simulator (B737) and can attest that it is a very unpleasant experience.

That's exactly what BPPV is. Nasty condition.

I used to get to fly the old Singer Huey simulators at Ft. Hood. I had a dude who was about to go to flight school along for a ride once. His wife was in the jump seat in back. She got sick as hell, but managed to get to the ladies room before she blew lunch.

I remember that...

After the initial $1.00, you were on the hook for 8 at normal price but you could get it down to 6 if you bought 2 at half price right away.

Then when you fulfill your obligation, you canceled and wait for the famous "Please Comeback Offer".

Mom or dad called us from the front porch, in a pretty loud voice. This seemed normal back then, but I never hear it in our neighborhood today.

Because the kids are glued to a screen of one type or another.
