It's downright scary how many adults have taken Calculus but can't figure the square footage of a room's walls so they know how much paint to purchase!!!

Some of those should also have stuck with the organic chemistry as well to understand that saving a few $ on a gallon of Wal Mart paint doesn't save you anything as you'll need to put on 3 or 4 coats to get it to cover

Unless you are talking about “fuzzy math” that the government uses.

Starting our trip to Amsterdam for our B2B British Isles/Transarctic cruise.

 

Fly the friendly skies of United…🎶

 

The plane…the plane!   787-9 Dreamliner

 

 

Such a good feeling when you settle into your seat and think “Ah, we’re here and the vacation starts now!”

Keep us posted so we can enjoy it, too!

I left the bank and joined EMI records in a sales role as I loved music.

Loving chocolate and sugar confectionery the chance to sell them was irresistible which I have done for over 35 years.

My job reviewing records was only a few months but I spent 4 years notarizing music contracts for an agent .I never met any of the singers but I met their Managers and got many free passes to concerts .Some for backstage which were really good .I also got autographed pictures of the band members which I gave to my kids.

One website I occasionally look at , just for fun, is called Flightradar24, that allows me to see airplanes flying around my area of Florida.  A feature is a box featuring a list of the most followed flights in  the website. Just a note about this subject, all ended well, except the passengers did not end up at their hoped for destination.

The flight UA1076. a Boeing 757  LAX - EWR declared an emergency shortly after takeoff.  Mr Google on that flight number lead to this site.

This website, based in the UK,  gives us what looks like a real time chronicle of what they watched,  along with a Youtube  picture of the airplane after landing. LAX  must have a live feed on Youtube.

I know not everyone's problem but guest services and casino hosts say no custom form needed now when bringing large sum of cash back from cruise. I will find out tomorrow.

If they don't understand that then they probably would not have passed organic chemistry in the first place.

She is in the air now, just left an hour ago, she ha s an almost 11 hour flight.

 

Might depend what section of the plane she is in as to how she likes the flight or not.

The plane holds almost 300 passengers.

For some reason the Reels on my Facebook feed are 50% airplane takeoffs and landings. They obviously know what I like to watch, even on the reels.

Behr premium for us.  Never needed more than 1 coat on any of our walls.

We have a lot of young relatives who want no part of checks. 

 

Another funny thing.... one of our sons when he graduated from university was clueless as to how to purchase a postage stamp.

We flew on that last year to and from CPH.  I was late booking my seats but luckily enough Row 56 was open at the back where the plane tapers and there are only 2 seats.  I grabbed those both there and back and they were great seats.  I would definitely pick those again for the 2 of us.

I could never do what you do . Too many details.
