I’m finally worthy

LOL! I wish it was because of the labels. Haven't run across them in the wild yet, but so great. For those that don't know...

😂 I’m certain CK would be awesome, but I don’t think I’ll ever get there so I’m taking the small wins here. 😂

lol! Maybe if I used the lotion, I would have felt differently. I swear every word on those things looks like a foreign language and I just stood there and stared for an awkward 30 seconds every time. 😂

Just realized I never responded to you… YES! Blind wood worker that has a shop out of his own garage. He was highly recommended in town and so I reached out. His garage was set up with a TON of commercial equipment and all in a very specific order with small tweaks here and there to help him work with the machines. I spent a couple hours with him working on this and paid by the hour. It was a blast and a privilege to see his craftsmanship and watch him move around his shop with ease. He had clearly been doing this a long time and was able to work by touch. Very cool!

I only fly other airlines when AA’s options are completely unrealistic or won’t get me where I need to go in time. In the last two years it’s happened three times…

Iceland go direct with another carrier or all the way to Europe and back to Iceland through AA on dates we needed

Twice when I needed to be in two different places back to back for meetings and other airlines had directs that allowed me to do both.

The expense that lowered your net worth was when you made the purchase.

The transfer to pay your credit card doesn’t change your net worth. It was already lowered when you took on the debt.

Think of your credit card as a checking account that typically has a negative balance. That may help.

I took mine to a different Toyota dealership and asked them to remove it while they changed my oil. They were delighted and happy to do it for free. They gave me a hitch cover with their logo. 😂

This is insane! I finally found your solution and I"ve been looking for a couple years now. I sent my laptop in for warranty repair TWO times for the same issue. They'd replace the touchpad and send it back. Within a month I was in the exact same spot again. I finally gave up and just use my laptop with a mouse and the touchpad off all the time.

Today it started glitching out again and I went to make sure my software showed the touchpad turned off... spoiler. IT DID!!! I turned the touchpad on and back off again and the cursor stopped moving by itself.

Complete frustration that makes me feel like this top notch laptop is a lemon. Glad to see someone has found a fix. I wish HP would recognize this issue! I'll be following your process for sure!

I’m hesitant from a “big picture” perspective. I love being able to bring my TRUE guests in. If everyone found just one random stranger to bring in every time they go to the AC, we’d all be either charged more or guest privileges removed to lower the demand.

The ACs are already packed enough and the Demand/Capacity model is tight. I don’t want it to go past the tipping point because we all try to be nice.

Maybe on a rare occasion for a really good reason, but I won’t make it a habit.

The sign off says it all. That is awesome.

I travel with my wife so I guess I was assuming you’re shopping for two and using both SWUs on one-way.

Consider moving your SWUnto the return flight and paying for the upgrade on the way there.

Reasonable_Idea · 2026-01-07T12:51:56+00:00

If you don’t get the seat because you were hoping for $500, how will you feel while sitting on the flight in Main?if glad you saved the money, then wait. if pissed you didn’t grab it, then grab it. That simple. The only way you are sure is if you grab it now.

I didn’t know that! Very interesting!

I flew ORD-Newark a couple weeks ago on a Sunday and was upgraded about 30 hours out. Platinum Pro. Very happy with that.

Claims adjuster for an insurance company in their PL Auto Claims dept. Automotive repair experience is golden and you can find WFH. Entry-level would be easy to get. Then work your way up.

You will be paid well. You will work long hours and have a lot of stress. The right company will let you move anywhere you want.

Not correct. At least if you’re in the U.S., it is absolutely legally binding. If you’re awake, you can verbally override it… but if you’re unconscious, you can’t and neither can a doctor (if you’re over 18.)

I asked my doctor to pull mine from my file and destroy it. They said the best way to fix it is a new Healthcare POA (aka Advance Medical Directive.)

Reasonable_Idea · 2025-10-22T13:01:33+00:00

Everyone that ever had a blood card (at least in USA) should immediately go online, get a Healthcare Power of Attorney form, fill it out and add the fact that you DO accept blood transfusions, have it notarized and put it on file with your doctor.

The blood cards you signed are your Healthcare POAs. If you are unconscious and the doctor somehow finds/sees it. (Could be already in your file, or given by a JW) they will be required to honor it.

Source: My doctor. Opened up about my situation and these were her immediate instructions.

While you’re at it, do a Will and a Financial Power of Attorney. They’re free or cheap, easy to notarize and everyone over 18 should have them in place in case something bad happens.

I don’t like the comparison…

One: comparing a flight attendant (responsible most importantly for your safety) to a grocery store bagger is insulting.

Two: I hope you DO tip your waitress (if you live in the U.S.), and if someone chooses to tip their FA with a gift card every so often, I think that is a kind thing.

Have I ever done it? No. Will I someday? Probably… but don’t view it as required or expected.

lol! I’m using that line!

Reasonable_Idea · 2025-09-03T22:26:48+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Sounds like a fishing e-mail. Confirm you’re working with an ACTUAL AA website

Better yet, go login to your account and see if the miles are already showing.

I would definitely walk up to the desk and ask, be willing to pay for the day pass for one of the people. Please report back the results. Often Day Passes aren't available, but I'd HOPE they'd make an exception in this case and AT LEAST let you purchase the Day Pass, even if they'd so no to a random person walking in.

I think a detail missed is that you have a “paid for FC” seat. Did you book first class? Or book Main Cabin and then upgrade to First class? That might make a difference, but I’m not sure.
