EVERYTHING about flying has gone downhill. It used to be fun & we'd even dress up a little. First, they stopped letting anyone but passengers into the terminals so people couldn't wave goodbye any more through the windows as the plane backed away. Then they got rid of the nice hot meals & those hot scented towels they'd hand out with tongs. The pilots stopped telling us where we were & pointing out landmarks. Meanwhile, space between the rows of seats was shrinking, overbooking seemed to increase, & holding passengers prisoner out on the runways for long periods of time increased. They also cut back on replacing the cabin air during flights, to save money. Bringing luggage is now frowned upon. I will do anything to avoid flying these days. I wonder if the average person is also flying less. There's nothing special about it anymore, & lots more to hate about it. Only improvement I can think of is when they banned smoking.

This is how people see you the moment you say 'libtard'. [scontent.ffcm1-2.fna.fbcdn.net]

What is something weird that grosses you out?

Carin comments on Aug 3, 2018:

If I have dry skin sort of snagging on the sheets, or a rough toenail, I have to get up & smooth my heels with a pumice stone or clip my nails. Lotion is a must! What grosses me out the most is probably hair. I think I have an actual hair phobia.

I just want to go, how about you?

Carin comments on Aug 3, 2018:

I've been doing that, minus the singing. The first crappy hotel was so stinky we couldn't sleep. The second one we had to share a bathroom with the next room & the connecting doors did not have locks! & both hotels were horribly hot, with no AC or even fans.

What is your strangest talent? How did you discover it?

Carin comments on Aug 2, 2018:

I can repair all kinds of strange things like glass Xmas ornaments, lamp shades, window screens, & jigsaw puzzle pieces, just to name a few. I just do it, I don't guess I discovered it. Too cheap to buy new unless I have to. Also I learned to recite all of the books of the new testament, in order, back in catholic school. Sadly, 40 years later I can still do it. Wish I could free up that brain space & use it to remember how to work my cell phone!

I spent part of my childhood living on US Army bases in Germany. I think it can be very helpful when sending injured soldiers for treatment, so they are not flying for hours & hours while in danger of dying or suffering severe pain. Also we would already have people & equipment there if our allies were attacked & needed help. I would expect the host country to be able to set limits on what sort of weapons are kept there & what sorts of activities are acceptable.

I have read that people in India & other places that believe in reincarnation don't see it in as positive a light as we do--they see an almost endless cycle of suffering & death with only very very gradual improvement.
