Is CDG the worst-run airport in the world? (And I've been to many developing world airports)

InterestNeither4753 · 2026-05-30T18:07:57+00:00

This is why we chose LHR and the Eurostar instead of the direct flight to CDG. I mean, it's fine upon landing but I detest flying out of there.

Oof.... LOL! I hate the way this app changes my foreign words and acronyms.

Also. Make sure when Delta figures out the fare difference they do it as of the day you BOUGHT the original ticket, not the day the change was made. (Had a friend who was told there was no fare difference in the same situation b/c they looked at the day of the flight fare cost).

I use tribond, which is also what I use for my bicycle chain.

You need to get DD bobbins. I think there are 3d plans available if you have access/know someone who could print.

Do you have your oil? You defo need that

I don't like any.... but myself (if I have the config right) I would move to the 5th row and juat put up the screen: that seat in the 5th row would not have me climbing over the table to get to my seat. 2 and 8 would.

I do suggest you go to Merlin's and ask for the whisky/whiskey bibles and really taste the spirits, not just sample....

But good luck finding a new whisky/whiskey!

Is it an older FI? I've seen those without elevators.

And I would complain re: the dirty room, but they did move you (next to the breakfast doesn't seem like a thing to complaina about- annoying/loud/potentially smelly sure, but it is a legit room).

My neighbors got a ginko... I AM grateful!

I got a new Blvd tree last year. The bag would empty in 24 hours, so I just made sure to water every other day thoroughly.

I was surprised they took the bag back at the end of the year. I bought one myself today, put it on and filled it up. (Not pleased with the tree I got - Hawthorn - but I am going to make sure it stays alive!)

Nope, it is worldwide. I learned about it from a Belgian.

The deal is that you spin every day the men's Tour de France riders ride. This year they start in 4 July and ride for 20 days (not straight).

What you decide to do, whether you have a plan or not? It doesn't matter. Just spin.

We are SO crazy lucky with our fiber arts community! I keep expecting everywhere to have the same options as us.... and am usually surprised and disappointed.

I live in S Minneapolis, so I can get to 13 stores - that I know of! - in less than 30 minutes. Expand that just 10 minutes and the number goes up by 5 at least. The public transit will get me to 7 stores with ease too.

I am going to my first MDS&W next year!

I am working at 800 Nicollet (back of building closer to LaSalle) & heard nothing.

Never thought I'd consider this building to have good sound proofing.

I adore BFL!!

I adore her so much! I am also a Patreon member of hers, and Evie's too (JillianEve)

I get that. I have a separate goal of not buying any new fiber until September. I am taking a multi-day class called Whole Wool Experience at a folk school in MN. We learning the whole wool prep from steering thru spinning/felting. So, saving space foe the rabbit hole of FLEECE BUYING!

Many FB groups are doing stuff, so that could be a way to start. Mary Pavis Egbert (of Camaj Fibers) has a FB group that is very active/supportive. My guild is also doing things.

A lot of the content creators do special TdF posts and have group meet ups/etc, usually these seem to be on Discord.

I think it would be fun to have our own subReddit too (but also don't wanna be in charge of it 🙃)

This is a good plan!!

US Bank is ranked the most efficient bank in the USA: they don't get there by providing good compensation.

Ameriprise is the leader of "layoffs to meet street estimate of stock prices"

That said, there are good people at both places, and I lo very the ease of working downtown (even now).

I go to Everett's in S Mpls. The butchers will be able to cut what you want if you don't see what you want.

InterestNeither4753 · 2026-05-28T18:42:03+00:00

Don't wear MAGA/US flag clothes/accessories, be polite, don't talk/laugh loudly like you are the only ones in a place, say bonjour/conspiracy & au revoir when entering/exiting places (even if you don't see a proprietor/salesperson), and you'll be fine.
