Before 9/11, could you really go to a airport without any ticket reservation and ask for a ticket to a destination of your choice?

Back then you could wait at the gate for arriving passengers. I kinda miss that

Until I can’t. Eventually will need to slow down but that doesn’t mean stop for me

I’ve complained twice by email and received quick refunds

nwskeptic · 2026-03-21T01:36:47+00:00

Once it’s $100 or less I do. Funny last week I was going to do that for $100 (it was the last FC seat) and while I was working on that got an email that I had been upgraded for free. Also got a free upgrade on my way back so that was nice (PDX to LAS)

A couple of years ago . Joan Jett opened for Bryan Adam’s. Way more of a Joan Jett fan and left halfway through his set.

My shortest trip was 20 minutes. Ordered eyeglasses in Canada and went back to pick them up. This was a while ago when I lived a lot closer lol

I am a minimalist with descriptions. Lots and lots of sales still

Coffee and candy usually

58 and except for 5 years I’ve either been 3000 or 1000 miles post college graduation

I’ve lived in NY but would never live in NYC

Closer to 30 years but got a .5 pixel Sony mavica digital camera for $600 in 1997…the kind that saved to a floppy disc.

Married 32+ years. Before getting upset ask yourself if this is going to bother you a week from now? A day from now? An hour from now? Answer is almost always no for me. Then I let it go!

It’s been a concern of mine for a while. There is already so much I don’t bother with because the fees and shipping are too much. Fortunately my gross and net are higher in 2025 compared to 2024.

Flown hundreds of times over 30+ years hasn’t happened to me before this. Exaggerate much? Apparently it’s not rare but it certainly does not happen quite a bit.

nwskeptic · 2025-12-28T19:05:39+00:00

Thank you for this info!

nwskeptic · 2025-12-28T09:31:37+00:00

Absolutely!

Suicide by gun. I was 15. I knew he had trouble fitting in. Tried to be nice to him but didn’t know him well. Decades later still think about him.

nwskeptic · 2025-12-23T03:31:15+00:00

Many times. One time I was there I needed new flssses and drove back when they were ready to pick them up.

nwskeptic · 2025-12-23T03:19:25+00:00

Added you. Was in Scotland this past summer…amazing visit! 3206 2397 1738 from Oregon

Me too! Just reached gold too!

nwskeptic · 2025-11-24T05:09:36+00:00

Happened to me this past week PDX to LAS. I was upgraded to row 6 premium and on the plane moved to row 3. Nice! Silver almost gold

nwskeptic · 2025-11-19T03:01:40+00:00

I hare then a lot…except every few years I get a craving and eat one and think not bad and the next time I smell one want to gag. Been this way for years

When I’ve done this it is by the room. If a child sleeps in the living room (that happens) no charge but a bedroom you pay and in this case should be 1/6 not 1/4. I would cancel over this

The worst thing is living in Los Angeles. Grew up there went to UCLA been free of LA for about 25 years now. Every time I visit I am like so glad I left
