Fuck Malta, and their Knights. I (like the asshole I am) just ignored Cyprus and threw it in with Greece and Turkey. If they can’t decide who gets the island, they get zero recognition from me.

I vote instead of taking away Tunisia, we add Italy and Greece.

Still waiting from the original reply, if you’re serious about equating dog grooming and human grooming. But keep throwing the other random things in, like heels and foot binding. You’re doing great.

Okay, Morocco is a stretch. I’ll give you that one. You win. You get to be the pickiest pedant on the thread. Congrats!

You didn’t answer my question.

Mani pedi in a salon/spa staffed with girls who went to “beauty school” (so licensed in esthetics) in my area is upwards of $100. In the “cheap” places in my area mani/pedi is $40, which is double the amount of the prices in the NYT piece. I am in Canada, so I really don’t know if those salons are exploiting the…

No no, the last point, equating human grooming to dog grooming. Like, that’s a little weird.

Our neighbours had a Keeshond and the kids always called him Chewbacca because of the way he whined! Must be a Keeshond trait!

Was she a huge Britney fan? Was she making a “I’m a slave 4 u” statement to her new spouse? So many questions!

I like it, my cuticles get really long really fast, and it looks better? I can say if I want it done and a dog can’t? Dog cuticles are different than human cuticles, as they are past the end of the nail, and human ones are the dead skin on the outside of the nail bed? Are you really serious in the last point?

But they (those other countries) are part of the “sea” of countries surrounding Israel. I think that’s the point Gemmabeta was trying to make.

Alternatively, you can go to a licensed salon where the estheticians are also licensed and pay $50 for your manicure and still be guilt free. (Just that most of us can’t afford to do that as often as the sweatshops)

I would hazard a guess that it can break the skin and spread infections (like Hep) They cut cuticles where I live, even at the high end licensed esthetician salons, so I don’t know about hat part.

Airlines and flying is all about the weight. Cut out the weight, to save fuel, reduce costs. If it isn’t necessary, it’s gone. So maybe “back in the day” it would have been a thing. or on a luxury carrier, but never on a “regular” carrier in 2015.

you would imagine. You would be wrong. They are not flying restaurants. I wish it were so, but it isn’t.

I really don’t have any preconceived notions of what “art school” is, but as a former student, I do have an idea of how to drop a class after I read the syllabus and don’t like the material presented. And as an adult, I realize that what I may see a offensive, may be just fine for others, and it really isn’t harming…

No microwave. No oven. Why is airline food so gross? Because they cook it ahead of time and put it in the equivalent of a big pizza-delivery bag to keep it warm until it is time to be served. And due to space restrictions, they don’t have “extras” on hand.

We weren’t there. I can say “I could have handled that better” (as a former FA I didn’t ever have a seriously aggro pax that I couldn’t talk down) but who knows what really went on? Maybe the Dad was being super aggressive (as has been stated elsewhere.) To your other point, my 15-y-o nephew with Autism could…

There are only a limited number of hot meals loaded onto the airplane. If they were all given out to the passengers in first before the family made the request, I can see it not being available. And contrary to popular belief, there are not microwaves onboard to heat the food.

Isn’t Pharrell like 1000 years old? I believe he is. Maybe he’s a space alien.
