That's right - we need to get Jackson into circulation. We can then discuss his accomplishments (and lack thereof) as if he were US.

AJ for POTUS :D

Been out of the presidency that long - he had some political influence after leaving office.

Last night we were in 1E/F and had a RUDE older eruo trash coulpe sitting behind us. They were loud and kept kicking my seat all night. When I was sleeping, I felt somthing under my seat, it was their feet kiching the bottom of my seat when they stretched out. They also used my arm rest as a foot rest :mad:. They were also the first ones up while we were still rolling down the runway at 40 MPH to get their bags out of the overhead bins.

I've had people using my arm rest as a foot rest. One death glare from me and down the feet go. One of the charms of motherhood is being able to convey messages with a single glare. I practiced on Plus1 before BL JR came along.

I was always a St Gaudens fan myself.

I started using Alli earlier today. The aide in our office, who's 5'6" and maybe 135 pounds, wants to pursue it as well (despite being 30 pounds below GSK's minimum guidance). :rolleyes:

I would have fixed the first situation immediately. The second would likely elicit a loud comment from me remarking on their mental capacity.

I took care of it, see below.

Well I use the stare but I also said somthing along the lines of "are you f:o:eek::mad:ing kidding me, get your filthy feet off MY armrest!"

That's a highly abbreviated and sanitized version of what I said to the first person I encountered still on his cell phone as the aircraft was rotating.

Another wonderful example of the advantages of sitting in Y. Well unless they have really skinny feet to get on the arm rest.

I had that in Y last month in an exit row...so Y is not even safe. I had an exit row with a middle seat open and the witch wouldn't let me put down the tray table for us to share as she thought her foot should go there.

Witch is the clean name I will use for that seatmate but lots of other 4 letter names come to mind for that wonderful 7 hour flight over the pond.

Listening to the LiveATC feed of KOSH is actually making me wish I had gone to Oshkosh this week.

I just found out that my dad went there one summer during college (mid-70s) and he says it was basically the best thing ever. His eyes seriously lit up like a kid at Christmas. I need to figure out how to convince him to go back one of these years (and I'd love to see it myself).

I hear you about back pain.. I threw my back out many years back and I couldn't even get into my car, much less a seat on an airplane!

+1. I did the same thing about a year and a half ago and it was just about the worst pain I've EVER felt in my life. I couldn't drive or even stand up straight for a couple days - I had to walk around looking like Quasimodo. No lie.

I need to book a 3-ish day trip to BTR/MSY in mid-August (being a good friend) and was pretty amazed at the reasonable prices. I'm actually contemplating whether it's worth it to drive to BWI to save ~$60...why are flights out of there always so absurdly cheap?

I m officially now the proud owner/renter of a 2 story loft in SoCal that overlooks a gurgling little stream with ducks. Lots of ducks. Inside is partially furnished with pretty much everything at ikea that wasn't bolted down, including an orange leather loveseat and a turquoise leather chaise lounge atop chocolate brown carpet and accent pieces.

I've got a major retro vibe i'm rockin.
