Sounds like you measure the bars from the gate door like some measure the pitch of seats on the plane! :D

Not really. I've just flown in and out of those COEX gates a ton of times in the 10-11 years CO has been flying ERJs to DAL.

Those were really fun when we didn't have a good tail wind to push us along, and the flight time approached three hours. Another regular on those flights (who is taller than me) and I used to always end up in row 12 together, and would often drink most of the alcohol in the beverage cart ourselves. When you get on with a buzz from the World Club, and then have a stack of CO Currency, and a willing FA, and a good drinking partner across the aisle, and an exit row seat, three hours on an ERJ doesn't seem so bad.

You may get sent to the box but you have to pour out your alcohol on the way in! :)

My current stylist at my man spa in DC talks nonstop about her dating life, but she doesn't drink while working and never is late for appointments.


The former sounds typical; the latter with all the dating life talk, that seems typical too. Being on time - always a good thing!

If my male friends in the Box found out how much I spent to get my hair cut, I probably would be ostracized from the Box.

Probably not ;) Though your method sounds quite sound. I once did EWR-OMA and with ground delay it was well over four hours. I was miserable but fortunately had two seats together so it really wasn't that bad.

I used to manage doing the prop between EAR-DEN-EAR on a regular basis so I can manage about anything when I stop whining ;)

My stylist that I've been going to for 15 years now is a very good-looking brunette that, well, should be a blonde. ;)

The guy we both go to here is bad about showing up late for appointments. I've not had an issue with that yet, but my partner, and one of our friends, has, several times. Fortunately I'm often running a few minutes behind myself, so we might just average out to arriving at the same time.

I once a stylist in Houston who started every haircut with "Have girlfriend yet?" And then after I said "No" would then say "You no have girlfriend? What's wrong?" I explained why on the first visit, but she wouldn't give up. Every trip for about two or three years we went through this conversation, as if it had never happened before. I just don't think she got it. She even went so far once as to have a friend's name and number written on the back of an appointment card waiting for me one month. "She like tall white man," my stylist said. Long having given up on the whole "what part of 'I'm gay'" don't you understand thing, I graciously accepted the card, promised to consider it, and tucked it into my wallet. Of course I didn't call this lady with a preference for "tall white man," who I'm sure is very sweet. A month later I was back for my haircut, and my stylist said "My friend said you no call." UGH! It so happened that at the time I was dating someone so I replied "Yeah, well, I've been dating this guy for a few months now…" My stylist countered that with "My friend, she really like tall white man. You should call her. She make you straight."

After that I found a new stylist across town and continued to go to her for several years, until just a few months ago.

I don't know. My hair cuts aren't exactly cheap.

Yep, I'm convinced flakiness is a cosmetology license in all 50 states.
