Disappointed

[KellyNY]

OH my gosh LOL. I am afraid of flying too and I think that would have done me in LOL

One time we had a flight at 7 am and as the drink person was coming around my hubby asked what I was going to have. I said "what do you think I'm going to have" He said "you are going to have whiskey? it's 7 am" LOL I just gave him this look and quietly said "Yes.. it's 7 am... and I am on a freaking PLANE." He looked at the guy taking the order and said "Whiskey it is"

No such thing like too early for whiskey when you fly, and it has to be something strong like whiskey or vodka, not just some fancy kids coctail.

This is too funny. I love it when pilots have a sense of humor. I remember when we were coming back from our sunny vacation and coming home to a snowstorm, so upon landing our pilot made reference to us entering Siberia, NY.

, this is so true. This winter I was really questioning our locarion on a map.

Another horror flight story.
Few years ago, again on a way to NY from Orlando, we fly JetBlue and they have tvs and channel showing the map and where we are. I am checking it from time to time and at some point we fly the wrong way. I think maybe they just turn around or something. Few minutes later we still flying back to Orlando and I start wondering what is going on. No announcements, nothing. Then flight just sort of stops flying and I can see other flights doing the same thing. We already late. I ask what is going on. Apparantly, some plane had problem with those wheels they land on and it landed on a belly. They had the whole bunch of firetracks to make sure it will not explode. Landing strip also got damaged and they were fixing it, refusing all flights. We spend few extra hours just circling and flying back and forwards. They considered to send us to other airports but then gave us OK to land. I must say, I was really scared. I remember all those movies when damaged landing strip causing flights to explode and probably got few grey hair from this experience. That was a definitely Whiskey moment.

Thank you yes I make it all myself It does make the days at home easier since I have a hobby to do and I have a whole big cart beside me here stuffed full of beads lol

Your collection is really cool and it is great to have such a nice hobby. I sometimes make some jewerly for myself but usually but disassembling one piece to create another, lol. If you visit NYC, we have an area with all those making jewerly stores. When I worked in a city, I was spending my break time there, it was right next to my job. So many different beads, jems, pearls, I could get lost there. You would definitely love it.

see how happy the thread is now?

So let me get this right...
1) Threads go multiple pages because people argue and that's bad. Except when you do it, and that's good.
2) Other posters "have to get the last word in" and that's bad, but you're "going to respond over and over again" and that's good.
3) No one should be controversial on these boards, because that's bad, but you're being controversial, and that's good.
Do I have that all right?

IIRC, the OP was done in the morning before parks even opened. Maybe while the OP was waiting on family members to get ready? It could have also been done from a cell phone while waiting in a different line.

Nope, its NOT good at all, and yet you perfectly pointed out what I was doing.......going review the first 6 pages, and you'll see people arguing. You'll see people trying to get their last word in defending their stance. You'll see the controversy. What I did was be so blunt about it that you could NOT miss it. I was all of those things because I want every poster to come in this thread and go "look how that guy is behaving" and then realize that everytime any one of you egg someone on in a controversial thread, youre essentially doing the same thing....you're "fueling the fire"........I made my point extremely well and have the PM's to prove it.

What's wrong with "if you don't like the way a thread is going, don't read it"? I personally like having discussions with people who don't share my view. I try not to make it an argument (not always successful), but keep it a discussion.

Or do you expect everyone who starts a thread to know whether it will be controversial and if it will, don't start the thread? When I read the OP, I never would have thought this would turn so controversial.

I actually think everything was dying down about page 5 (pretty tame for a "controversial" thread), and then you jumped on here. If you want a thread to die, the WORST thing you can do is post. All that does is bring the thread back to the top for everyone to read it again. I challenge you MonoMan to not post in this thread for 24 hours. I'm willing to bet a Dole Whip that without you posting, this thread will be on the 2nd page (at least) and well on it's way to obscurity.

the better. if we all agreed this thread would have ended on page 1. this has been fun. love the postings (all of them).


it's fun to poke fun. if you look around you there are alot worse things happening then someone getting there nose out of joint over nonsense. keep that in mind. don't take this stuff more than a grain of salt.

have a great day everyone.

Me too. We were flying southwest one time and we were leaving West Palm and going to Baltimore airport and it was winter here so the pilot gets on to say leaving west palm at such and such a time schedule to arrive at BWI such and such a time. Weather at BWI is clear and 21 degrees... *big pause*... Are you SURE you want to go?
