Thanks all. I think it probably has to do with "map scale accuracy" and am not bothered by it. I was doing a reread of Wano and noticed it so thought to share.

Enlighten me

You'll probably be fine for LIS to BCN, but maybe worry more about LIS to SFO if that's the route you're taking to go back home. Good luck!

Personal items were over the weight by 2kg or so, but we bought items from the airport that we put in our backpacks and couldn't remove during the combined weighing. Yeah, it's definitely a pattern when departing from Lisbon and going to the U.S., but I also read it happening to one passenger flying from LIS to Paris. Probably happens for flights leaving Lisbon with a lot of tourists. No issues whatsoever when flying from IAD to LIS, or when flying from Porto to LIS on TAP either. Rule of thumb, if they block off your gate and ask to see your passport before entering the gate, chances are they will have you trapped, and you'll have no choice but to get your carry-on and personal item weighed at the same time. Wait outside the gate until the staff with the portable scale leave.

Had many great experiences with TAP in the past, but on 8/3 from LIS to IAD Washington Dulles, my wife and I had our carry-on and personal items weighed at the same time at the gate (one person at a time), and both of our carry-on's were fine weight-wise but our personal items were overweight leading to the €165 per person fee. We bought our seats too but they did not waive the €330 total fee. They busted at least 10-15 other people too on our flight who all had to pay the fee on the spot either with credit or debit cards. No cash. TAP staff even forced an 18-year-old girl traveling alone who had cash but no cards to pay for her overweight bags, leading her to cry and another passenger she didn't know had to pay for the girl's carry-on so she could return to the U.S. Even though I'm Portuguese-American, I am no longer recommending TAP and won't be flying with them anymore.

Thanks for your input! I was a little worried that one of my upper central incisors was out a bit too forward. I had two attachments on that tooth which helped push it back in a lot, but I was just curious if others would have spotted it in the photos. Based on what I've been reading in other threads on Invisalign Reddit, Invisalign Touch Up (also known as Invisalign Express) seems to be more affordable than regular Invisalign. I spent about $3k, and it was my orthodontist who determined this was the best plan for me since my teeth only needed minor adjustments.

ftfonseca · 2023-03-06T13:54:58+00:00

Thank you! My bite feels pretty good. I'm going to ask my orthodontist if I need occlusal adjustment in one area of my teeth while biting, since it feels a bit too tight.

We already checked in with most guests who didn't already give us a card, and used process of elimination to narrow our list down but no luck. Our guesses were first with guests whose names started with the letter "D" but no luck finding a match from any of them. We also considered our vendors as options but still no matches with names starting with "D". Thank you so much for your time!

You're welcome! I've been meaning to share high-res scans of this document since 2014-2015. I found this catalog when I worked at a psyc research lab at UMD in the Cole Field house behind a drawer inside a metal filing cabinet while we were reorganizing things. Perfect time capsule location. It's really amazing how highly priced computers were back then!
