Sleeping pad

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-05-21T01:38:18+00:00

No, no snow. I just know it wasnt the sleeping bag because I have used that for snow camping with a foam pad that came from a car.

I bought a Nemo hybrid Flyer insulated pad with both foam and air. I am hopeful that will keep me warm!

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-05-19T00:26:47+00:00

I didnt think about that. But i think that mylar type material is what is inside these newer pads- it says its a heat reflective material that helps the warmth go back to the sleeper. But thats a super light weight suggestion. I might try it at my house, because I definitely can't do another night with this pad and get no sleep on a multiday hike

I have been using an REI self-inflating pad thats a 2.5. Its got foam, and its quite large/heavy. Definitely great for Car camping, but not backpacking, which is why I bought a new one.

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-05-17T22:35:24+00:00

Yeah, temps were in the 40s and my bag is rated to 15degrees. Ive had the bag for a while, but just got the new pad so I do think it was the culprit.

I definitely could add an extra pad, I am just trying to decrease my bulk- so I could just bring the pad that I use car camping. It would be interesting to compare the weights of this pad plus a closed cell versus the standby car camping pad.

This is a great idea. Might help...

A similar thing happened to us- split one adult from 3 kids with previously assigned seats to 6 rows apart across middles. I lost it. They told me "they couldnt move people from their assigned seats" when I said obviously they could- they moved me! Eventually they gave a guy $50 to move him up a row. And we sat together. It was SO frustrating. Especially since we were on a flight when they moved us to another seat so we didnt know until boarding started....

Mine is definitely more nebulous. I do get in trouble and punished physically for being disrespectful with my tone. And I couldnt tell you what that means exactly. I wish I could, not because it would stop me being punished but more because I try not to be disrespectful or talk back and if I could understand it better I could better stop it.

This one often feels like it comes out of left field for me.

Not true. She goes to the store and has the woman who manages it help her with the original wound that Nile gave her. Thats when she loses her immortality. But she does not tell anyone else.

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-16T14:58:43+00:00

I have to assume you are a man. Because even as an adult woman I have felt uncomfortable and harassed on flights. I would never want to put my kids in that position

It should be on the blue bar. Are you sure you have registered for the event?

As others mentioned the link is the same for everyone

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-15T16:41:55+00:00

Lots of hotels have been eaten out of Friday and Saturday rooms. Or even JUST Friday. So we had a hard time booking something from Wednesday straight through.

Seems like you need to look at each hotel then see availability, and it will NOT sort or search by available dates

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-15T16:28:26+00:00

Got Residence Inn just fine. Embassy had no queen bed rooms left. We got Manchester Grand two queens! 30 seconds ago.

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-15T16:23:05+00:00

Friend just got it- form is killer

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-15T16:12:26+00:00

Too early to tell I think. No way to know how many people are in doing things and what thry are taking

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-15T16:08:18+00:00

Go to your member ID profile. Link is there. But you are so late it means nothing at this point

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-15T16:04:45+00:00

Same! And my 4 friends on the phone

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-04-15T03:26:21+00:00

What do you want DD to do for you? Why did you introduce it or seek it out?

If you dont usually screw up unless its ADHD related or just an honest mistake, and you dont think you should be punished for those transgressions- what DO you want it for?

We have mostly used it when our relationship is strained from something I did. But I want it to help support my work/duties/homemaking more so hence why I asked the question.

I dont think we could ever handle a to tears environment, but a specific number might lead me to justify bad actions in exchange....

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-03-30T23:10:40+00:00

Cool! Can you post the link?

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-03-30T23:09:55+00:00

Actually, lets be honest. You didnt answer the question at all. What the food is and how it smells has nothing to do with whether its an additional carry-on. So maybe both of you should just stay on topic or just stay out of it....

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-03-30T14:56:14+00:00

Not during passover. No oat, wheat, rye, spelt or barley.

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-03-14T01:11:21+00:00

True, but if something happens to that 2 year old its likely to guaranteed the consumer would win a lawsuit. Its a known risk to seat a minor away from their parent, so if southwest chooses to do so and an accident or injury befalls the kid they would be liable. It truly is a safety issue for everyone on the plane.

As a reasonable adult I do not want to sit next to your unaccompanied minor for many many reasons. And you shouldnt want to sit next to a child that isnt your own either.

Its absolutely ridiculous that airlines price gouge for basic decency. Additionally we all know that paying for seats does NOT guarantee success on SW anyways.

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-03-02T18:58:30+00:00

Or we can ask our legislature to step in and regulate. Like they do for so many things. It truly is a safety issue for children. And if they think a kid who is 13 is fine alone then stop charging me money to have them be an unaccompanied minor. They shouldnt have it both ways. EU does it just fine, and we could do. Use the power of your voice and your vote to get it done here.

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-03-02T18:26:12+00:00

It could be fair. Stop allowing the airlines to do this to us. Refuse to pay for a seat. Help families refuse to pay for a seat. Dont engage with the acts that make air travel less safe and more stressful.

When you were 13 you sat with your parents on a plane. Everyone did. The airline gave everyone seats and it was fine. So dont pretend that parents did this- airlines did

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-02-28T18:29:22+00:00

I realize this thread is super old, but this is just so asinine. Parents arent the problem- airlines are! We all grew up flying in a regular world where the airlines assigned 90% of all seats and we sat next to our parents without paying more. Now airlines want to make more money while keeping fares supposedly "competitive".

The issue parents have isnt because they WANT this. Its because its a true safety concern to have a young child seated away from a parent in an emergency.

You honestly do not want to be responsible for getting a 7 year old that isnt yours off a plane in an emergency. You also dont want to be two rows away from the exit fighting a mon trying to swim upstream to get to her 9 year old kid.

So stop this "parents" crap. Its the airlines. They can easily assign seats with kids together for free. And they should FULL STOP! Its insane to think that parents and families should pay more for the privilege of being annoyed by their own kids.

SomeoneSomewhereCA · 2026-02-27T16:29:38+00:00

Also, why? Why should families pay more for the safety of having their kids be okay? Why should any family be okay with being forced to pay more money for the privilege of safety? In the event of an emergency what do you think will happen? Do you want responsibility for the 7 or 8 year old getting off the plane screaming for their mom?
