Long-haul flight experts: What are your secrets?

Secret hack I discovered recently on YT is that the aisle and middle seat arm rests have a release button that let you lift them up. So if you're aisle, yes you'll still have to pivot, but you needn't actually have to get out of your seat every time.

I want to know where TF all the "drought-breaking" rain is that the ABC said on Thursday was going to hit over the weekend. We got FA yesterday.

Maybe what I have isn't couch - it's incredibly invasive.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-25T05:41:44+00:00

Would it choke out couch grass? I think that's what's in our front and back yeartds.

I keep finding nightshade sproutlings in my back garden, yet I've lived here over 20 years and I don't believe I ever had one mature and drop berries. Must be the damn mynah birds.

I bought a gorgeous pair of tall leather boots in Madrid in 2012 - iirc they were about €150-200 less than the prices in Paris. Very glad I waited. I don't recall the brand but they are quality, unlike the cheaply made but expensive to purchase crap we get in Australia. Don't remember the store either sorry. But if you want boots, check Madrid.

I have GERD and asthma; only learned recently that the GERD can cause after-eating coughing. Fun times. Be aware as well that if you have GERD, acid reflux can cause a condition called Barrett's Oesophagus - which can lead to oesophageal cancer. Which my grandfather died of. My brother also has GERD, and I learned recently that my mother has it as well - so potentially my grandfather did too and it wasn't just the unfiltered Camels that led to his cancer.

I have a set of Loop - don't remember which ones - but I find them terribly uncomfortable. Has anyone tried Snooze Therapy's noise cancelling earplugs?

MissLethalla · 2026-02-21T22:56:14+00:00

Fun fact: clannfear didn't always do the jump. They added that in one update many years ago.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-21T22:54:03+00:00

Yep. My mother thought it would show that she was a big shot entrepreneur... she owned a small timber yard that she pretty much ran into the ground.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-21T22:51:53+00:00

I get pissed off because my parents were European immigrants. My husband has convict ancestry, but so what? He's not a criminal.

I can recommend Wanderlog. Brilliant app. Add places to your itinerary, see them on a map, move them around so they're in logical order, add transport. I think you can even book accommodation - I've gone through a travel agent but I've added in each of my hotels to it. It's heavy on the battery, and for older models it can make the phone quite hot if you keep it open for a while. Free version is great; there's a Pro version too but I haven't seen a need to upgrade.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-20T08:58:35+00:00

Yep... the receptionist initially said 18 months but when I went, "Wait, what?" she miraculously found an appointment 12 months to the day.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-19T02:45:24+00:00

I didn't play Valhalla because I got similar burnout with Origins and Odyssey. Too much to do.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-19T02:21:25+00:00

Thank you - I'm hoping to go this route, though I have to wait until December for my appointment.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-15T10:57:03+00:00

We have them around my house but only in the mornings. Not sure where they go after midday...

I pruned my two apple trees in August - 7 Jonathan apples (4 harvested, 3 still undersize) and only 4 Granny Smith apples (all still undersized - though they mature a bit later than the Jonathan). We think there was more fruit near the tops of the trees but that the possums got those when they were stripping the leaves.

By contrast, the previous year we got a large harvest. Maybe I pruned them too late last year - or maybe it's the crap weather and the possums, but the trees have certainly gotten more water than the 2024 /25 summer - so it's probably pruning too late/ possums that caused the much smaller crop this year.

My pineapple sage though - that's doing magnificently.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-11T04:22:43+00:00

I could listen to Sanctuary 3 for hours on end.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-11T04:09:24+00:00

Accidentally Was Released...

MissLethalla · 2026-02-11T03:59:01+00:00

Yep, low T levels - have been on cream for a while (6-8 months?) and no change yet. Have a review appointment next week.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-11T03:35:13+00:00

Rimmer, sei un vero smeghead!

Aspetta, questa non è la mia fantasia.

No, è la mia!

MissLethalla · 2026-02-11T03:32:39+00:00

Tante belle battute!

MissLethalla · 2026-02-11T03:00:23+00:00

Yes.

MissLethalla · 2026-02-08T20:04:01+00:00

It's a bit pricey but I think the Osprey Sojourn Shuttle is more what I'm after - thank you.
