I agree when you are talking about personal travel, but damn those devalued miles and status drives business travel.

Skinner usage

by the sounds of it, safe than southwest!

well, i drank beers and was playing either the Shout song or old Genesis songs by my brothers side when he was close. His 5 sons were in the room when he passed, that was rough as they were age 13-22..i mean really freaking rough. Funny story bout my Mom. had been with her for 3 days and she wanted me to go to her oncology appointment with her on Friday as Pops was kinda useless. Doc says Gen, it is end days, we just need to make sure you are comfortable now. She gets all cranky saying I am not getting hooked on any drugs! Saturday morning hospice comes to house..goes over all the plans and meds etc with me . My wife gets in about noon, and asks Mom if she wants something to eat, and my Mom asks for a tuna on DiCamilos toast. While wife is making it, mom wants my 10 month old daughter in bed with her..man that was stressful! Anyway, wife who never has made a meal in her life makes the tuna, Mom eats 1/2 of it and almost as if she knows it her last meal...says it was the best thing she has ever eaten! Wife was beaming. Mom dies early Monday morning, my wife still claims to have made the best thing someone has ever eaten in their life!

Now that would be awesome! My SIL now lives in the home we moved into in 80 post Love Canal, bout 1 mile down GI BLVD from here.

Don't find them sad at all. You sign up for that job, with that salary, you deserve public scrutiny. well, he has shown no indication of doing that...and with this loss last night he has to know the last of even the most optimistic of fans have officially given up on the playoffs..in some ways takes the pressure way off him to try something.Could you imagine if they were 4 points out on Sunday? Rest of the season meant zero to me 10 days ago, think now that bandwagon is full. If you can get something for the rentals, god bless. If not, wait till the draft and the cap woes kick in

Wow, $11K! Have never had an issue. Sounds like the 1 woman who did was told "knock it off" and she kept drinking!

like the coke idea!

All that's really needed is a "heads up, i am going to recline"..ask and someone may say "why yes, yes i do"...but i do believe common courtesy just to let the fellow behind you know in case he has a laptop open, or drinks etc that may spill when you recline.

i just do not see it as that big a risk. Granted, i am never "drunk"...i have never even been questioned. Every once in a while person seat next to me will ask about it, and i say with all seriousness I hate takeoff and they can see in my eyes better I have a pop then be a sweaty mess for the next 10 minutes LOL. Have had way more people in bad turbulence lean over and say"ya got an extra one of those'?

Been doing since 07 when i started flying a lot for work. Has to be in the airplane bottles, or really any container under 3 ozs. I always have at least 7-10 in my backpack when traveling, have never once been asked about it or asked to dispose of them by TSA. On the plane , just don't be an ass about it, drink discretely from the bottle or very discretely with mixer..and dont get drunk! @sherpa, why do think such a bad idea?

BRING YOUR OWN BOOZE ON THE PLANE!!!! it is 100% legal to bring as many of those airplane bottles that ya want on the plane!. Not legal to drink them, but if discrete no one will give a rats behind! I don't like takeoff and turbulence, and that's when i need a little liquid courage. Only to have it at those times is to have in your bag! Also, for you single guys having one of those as an extra is a good conversation starter with the young ladies who may be seated in a row with you!

3 times for me..brother ,mother, brother by another mother( dear friend). Brother and mother I was happy i was there..and as awful as it sounds was relieved when they passed to end their suffering. It was time for both, and no amount of medicine or pain killers was going to take away their suffering. Friend was crushing, still cant believe it happened. Its the one that bothers me to this day.

@BillsFan4, best comment i saw to that paper slam tweet this morning was something along the lines..found it "'That looked staged. Like he hesitated to trade the papers to the floor. "

I flew Alligient to Nashville, and they have these newfangled really thin seats...and i loved em! Gave you more legroom. I loved that flight. Would 100% fly them again! And i get free booze too..i bring enough airplane bottles on to sink a ship! And next time, make sure you go drinking with me! 20 somethin hot bartenders with Daddy Issues all dig me, never wait for a drink! Might be that i tip big too, unlike those those 3 cheap bastards you mention above

That cause your engineers, not real people? Suit is gone, no doubt. But khakis and a polo? I am guessing a long sleeve dress shirt crisply laundered would have been sufficient, it is the polo that throws people askew. I work in HR Tech, so am quite close to plenty of the issues with some younger workers. Seems to be ghosting employers has become a thing. They get other jobs after accepting multiple offers, or dont like the one that have, they just never show up or stop showing up. It is how they have ended other relationships, just carries over! https://www.vice.com/en_nz/article/yw9evk/how-companies-are-dealing-with-millennials-ghosting-on-their-jobs?utm_source=viceadwordsdynamicus&utm_medium=cpc Having said that, it is getting really tiring all this branding by age group. We need to take the word millennial and boomer and Gen Z etc out of our vocabulary.

Well, i would not agree with this. I dont think there is really any job in a bank, or any any professional interview for that matter, you show up for an interview in khakis and a polo. Minimum is nice dress jeans, crisp blazer, and shined shoes!

My complaint is not that theperson in front reclines, it is the person in front an hour into the flight who just hits the button and slams back with no warning, blowing up your laptop. And yes that has happened to me..2x after politely asking as we settle in and i tap the person in front and say " i am going to be doing some work on my laptop, no worries if you recline, but if you could kindly give me a heads up it would be greatly appreciated"...they they just forget and boom goes the laptop I will say that I like, and respect, when for some reason you have delayed at your destination but you know your connecting airport is on time...I like when he attendants plead with people.."if you have thirty minutes or more, please let people with tight connections deplane first". Everyone then seems to get it, and i am fine to sit an extra 7 minutes if it means some one makes their flight. Couple summers ago we missed a connection to Rome bu 2 minutesthat ended up costing us 36 hours ...minutes matter sometime If i am going to recline, I ALWAYS turn around and dont ask for permission, but just give a heads up I am going to recline. I think I have reclined 2 times in my past 100 flights? And thats has been only cause i have to get work done, person in front me is reclined, and i have to get room to get laptop open

cmon dude..common courtesy requires a time mark!

Cept the tank year now..could not find a bad goalie that year no matter how low they dug!

well, you have Borgen, Pilut, and Nelson all still in the system, plus a few to many RHS.. but I get your point.

I would not say embaraasing, and you know I am as down on Bots as they come. I agree the heart Boumeester situation prolly played big, as did the salary retention. Having said that, Bots overplayed his hand with D Men this year, everyone in the league knows he needs to move em, so his return will just be less...same as it will be in the summer until he moves some assets

Yep, looks like cheapest to get it done in a shop is $200. After watching that video, i would either do one of 4 things 1) Live with it( most likely for me) 2)Attempt to repair with one of the kits on amazon for $30 3) Realize that 99.9% of the time, i am gunna fudge that all up, so also do 4) Budget for a new one like this at Costco https://www.costco.com/7th-gen-apple-ipad-a10-fusion-chip-32gb---space-gray.product.100517160.html Cause there aint no damn way i getting that fix to work!!!!

Quick google says at least $200 to fix an ipad screen
