FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: jc94
This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition and 2017 edition

The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.

While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

The banana bread is like a Manumala noxhydria. Once inside your stomach, it causes things to burst out of your chest.

Very true. #3MMuffinTops don't exist.

I had to look that one up.

The nice thing about your posts is that you rarely or never metapost like a RCHHMP.

Any tips?
Eat fewer calories per day + more smaller meals during the day rather than three big meals a day + exercise at least a few minutes a day (even just doing some push ups and or sit ups is good)

But I still think JW Black is acceptable.

I find their wraps like the pizzas longtimeflyin mentioned recently, it isn't too bad when you are actually eating it ...

count calories of all the food and drink you consume.
Average your daily intake for the week.

Are you losing weight? Yes/no
Yes, good, keep eating the same amount of caloires
No, reduce it by 100 caloires a day, and try again.

Do activities such as running, swimming, hiking, lifting weights, dancing, skipping, offering to babysit babies and pushing their strollers a lot, gardening, chopping wood, etc...

As long as those "other" activities don't require you to drink alcohol (increase caloric intake)

Alcohol may or may not be involved.

I think the 10ish goals fewer that he’ll produce vs Patches won’t make an iota of difference to the team. We’re so goal-strapped and just got rid of Galchenyuk, too, so really, no one player is going to make enough of a difference to help us be competitive.

That being said, this Suzuki kid looks like he might be the real deal, so that’s a positive that came out of the trade.

Come fly with me. Maybe we can catch the mad green herb sprinkler.
