When I flew Pan Am unaccompanied they would let me sit in first class for the last half hour of the flight to "keep an eye on me." A visit to the flight deck was almost a requirement. The pilots kept their cigarettes up there.

I had the honor and pleasure to work for Pan Am from 1986 until December 4, 1991 (the day it ceased operations.) Thanks to PA, I had the chance to travel the world, fly with friends (and girlfriends), and family. It was truly a great experience, as an employee, traveling on "stand by", you needed to wear a suit (tie…

Flying in the 60's and 70's was amazing. I used to fly unaccompanied all the time to visit family and go home from boarding school. The food was great, the crew fussed over me and they let me visit the flight deck. At no time did a pilot ever ask me about gladiator movies.

Which category am I in if I simply think video games are more fun than work?

I can vouch for the knife part. About 40 stitches, three severed tendons, and 3 months in a splint. All from a table knife!

This guy literally just hooks up a USB cable to 4 AA's with no resistor or regulation circuitry. Thats 6 volts instead of 5. NiMH may be 1.2v nominal but they can reach 1.5 hot off the charger. Go ahead and try this if you want to burn out your expensive devices.

And when your guests ask for the recipe, just keep to yourself that little detail about how you prepared their food using the garden hose, a bucket, and your power drill.

In offense to them, I would say when you find your authors repeating info on a website, you may want to look in to a better archive / reference system.

One thing important to remember is that your journal doesn't have to be a daily affair! You don't have to get all of the minutae of every single day down - you can get the same benefits by journaling weekly, or monthly, or anytime you really feel the desire to write, or when you have something to say. :)

This is my preferred method. The curls seem to last way longer when done with a flat iron, rather than a curling iron. Plus, I've always been a little afraid of the wholly-exposed hot metal stick aspect of curling irons.

i like this idea...the shit they put in wipes is slightly gentler than battery acid. methylchloroisothiazolinone, i'm talking to you!

a) I wasn't paid to write a long post about how to develop your career as a write. I'm writing short comments on an article. I don't have a responsibility to offer complete reporting.

Mistake #1 is assuming that online sources are the only ones.

I hope all bookstores die and that Amazon is the only one left standing.

Seriously. If you can only get $10 for an article, no, I guess you can't make a living that way. If you can get $500-$1,000 for an article (as quite a few of us do), you can make a very nice living indeed.

I see I can "like" this great article on facebook but not G+...oh the irony!

Cool tricks! I just wrote a Google+
Piece too for HuffPost FTW:

OH.MY.GOD.

Thanks for the tips! Looks like the other commenters are waiting for Gawker articles.

My girlfriend and I don't do a lot of sauces, but we take a similar approach: salsas (or relishes, whatever you want to call them). We have a lot of recipes that are really simple but include some sort of chopped vegetable topping.
