At 44, I make similar requests.

Babies are easy - they sleep a lot. Older kids should know better and I figure parents should bring books, games or something else to keep them occupied.

Yes, and we’re not having another. And before you get started, I’m not the least bit interested in having this turn into a discussion where we judge each other’s parenting. I’m just stating what I did and why.

I was going to ask “But how will I join the mile-high club if I don’t touch other passengers?”

I would MUCH rather fly with a 6 month old than a two year old. Much easier to deal with and far less antsy. A 4-5 year old should be able to chill though unless they are special needs and that is a different story.

Eh I was pretty big at my largest and I still wasn’t the biggest person on my flight. I imagine you have to be quite the hamplanet for them to kick you off.

I would like to know how frequently they actually boot people for being smelly. I would rather be one a plane full of screaming babies than be sitting next to one smelly guy. I can put on headphones and crank up music to drown out crying, but you can’t ignore stink.

The only time I came remotely close to being thrown off for drunkenness, I promptly shut up and went to sleep. You stay out of a lot of trouble being a happy drunk. (I was not being combative, just really loud.)

You can’t say bomb on an airplane

I fundamentally disagree with your statement. You’re describing a top down design for the economy - government driving businesses. I think better outcomes are produced by having businesses to compete with each other, and having the government stay out of the way.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say better than A LOT of current starters, but certainly a handful, at least. To me, there’s no question that he’ll be signed reasonably soon, but the draft and the Romo situation need to be resolved first.

If you want a serious answer, it’s because they think preaching abstinence is a valid substitute for sex education. (Ask Bristol Palin)

+ 1 Chris Kluwe and Brendon Ayanbedejo...

If they’re reaching out to you, then there’s definitely something in it for them (I’ll be careful calling this a “scam” since I don’t have all the facts). Absolutely not unheard of though to have a loan forgiven, as the article points out. Contact your loan company and see what your options are. If nothing, you may…

So will he be a Brown or a Jet?

Funerals are easy. When you stop looking at the unpredictability of an individual’s lifespan, and start looking at large populations, you will see that the number of people that die on average stays pretty much the same. This allows you to pay for final expenses by creating a small tax... just enough for a simple…

But enough about Jimmy Clausen.

Current progressive thinking is that a massive increase in welfare spending is what it needed to solve most of society’s problems.

Yeah, it’s called dying before you finish paying them back.
