That case will be charged separately.

We'd yap about going to Paris or London-ready for that jet setter life. I remember rent-a-guards, but TSA, hijacking, and insanity wasn't a common everyday thing. A friend wants a group of us to go to Bend, Oregon for my birthday. (What's in Bend?) So, we'd have to fly to make job committments. I hear that you can't even count on your plane taking off as scheduled. This same friend went to Hawaii in May, and said her flight-time was changed 3 times at the airport. I hate flying, and frankly I'd rather drive in deep snow to Reno. If everyone insists, I'll go but bringing sani-wipes, my own fly pillow, and wearing loose clothes.

Won't do it. Until I win the lotto and can charter a gulfstream I'm not flying anywhere. I'll gladly drive across the country. If I have to go oversees I'll gladly book a room on a freighter (yes you can indeed do that) and spend the extra time getting to my destination.<br /><br />What I won't do is deal with the effing tsa or get into those germ ridden cattle cars they call airliners these days. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-46326138281827032942018-08-31T18:09:28.234-07:002018-08-31T18:09:28.234-07:00I saw over on Zero's blog that you're eati...I saw over on Zero's blog that you're eating out of the pantry this month.

Considering the fact that I used to fly on Army helicopters, fear isn't involved. <br /><br />I agree, the BF should have been informed and IF he refused to take action, then informing the Flight Attendant should have been called.

I find it beyond believable that a woman would sit there quietly while a man masturbated to completion with her BF literally 3 inches away, and not only did the the woman say nothing to anyone until he was finished and went to the bathroom to wash up, but no one else on the aircraft noticed, either.Divemedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com
