oh, you’re NOT supposed to do that?

My suggestion is to skip the bar. Load up your quart bag of carry-on liquids with miniature liquor bottles. Buy fruit juice or soft drinks at the newsstand when you get through security. Discreetly mix up your own drink and enjoy at the gate.

No tips, but I just wanted to say that the Lubbock International Airport (Texas) bar is one of the most depressing places I’ve ever been.

I learned this in Boy Scouts, although it was soda instead of beer

I use a cheap plastic 2 quart pitcher as an ice bucket. Put the wine bottle in first, pour in ice around it, and fill with water. These smaller size means you don’t waste ice and water, and it chills faster because it’s completely surrounded by cold water and ice

It’s not my job to accomodate you

I don’t care. I paid for a seat. The seat reclines. You know ahead of time that you can’t sit in a regular airline seat if the person reclines in front of you. This is your problem, not mine.

FYI , Holiday parties are hard to do, because EVERYONE does them. If people aren’t showing up for the, it’s because they probably have a dozen other invites. Some of those they don’t really want to go to, but feel obligated (family, work, etc). So don’t get down on yourself about the holiday party.

Learn the fireman’s carry. It works with dead bodies too. I mean, I would imagine it does. Not like I have any personal experience.

I’m around 50, and I don’t have any real friends that I can go out and do things with either. But I’m married with a teenager, so I don’t really have time to do anything that would require company anyway

Is this a regular thing with Uber rides? I recently took Uber with a co-worker and I was surprised by how much he chatted with the driver. If I take Uber by myself, am I going to be expected to strike up a conversation?

This is pretty much myself too. Although I wouldn’t mind having another friend, if only to have someone to talk about my wife with

Sounds good to me
