I believe that part (or maybe a lot?) of the reason that it's banned is because the landing can actually crack the ice. Unfortunately I can't remember where I read that but I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

I'm fighting off strep, but I'm also on vacation, so I'm going to get the finest food I can buy from a drive-thru (I love fast food, sue me) and sit down with a lovely array of cough drops and the Olympics. The Olympics are the best! I am super stoked about this Valentines evening.

I'm rooting for him big time, even though he probably won't finish much higher than he is now. I hope this performance gets him some good coaching prospects, he's got amazing potential.

My frustration at Kentucky's blue laws keeping wine out of the grocery store knows no bounds. Occasionally, when I have to fight traffic to get to the liquor store just to make a nice dinner involving wine, it turns to rage. And then I try to sort out my priorities, but it's always there, simmering.

Sometimes my crew will play seat map bingo, where we take the passenger manifest and pick someone who we think will be attractive, solely by their name. I always lose. :(

What bothers me more than dirty diapers (though thankfully it doesn't happen nearly as often) are the cups full of someone's tobacco juice. I want to gag just looking at it.

There have been tests done that turned up traces of MRSA on seats, tray tables, and armrests. That's not even touching the lavatories. Please, for the sake of us all, don't.

In their defense (not that I really care to defend them in the first place), Spirit is pretty much known for making awful puns/references in their sales ads. Normally they have to do with current events. It's in poor taste, but so are most of their other fare sales ads.

Manning has had such an incredible season; I was so happy they won I nearly started tearing up at the end of the game (I'm on a lot of cold medicine, that's my excuse).

Seriously. What ever happened to good old "dirty blonde"?

It never ceases to amaze me that there are people in this world who take every word of these magazines seriously. Airplanes tend to have a collection of these left over from passengers, and bored flight attendants will flip through them at a moment's notice. And some of those bored flight attendants will then turn…

For the love of GOD, please stop painting airport employees as evil masterminds who are gleefully telling you there's nothing they can do and then disappearing into the break room to practice their Mr. Burns impersonation. We WANT you to get where you're going - we're travelers, too. We know there's important things…

The song itself I could take or leave, but I DO genuinely like it because it actually shows off her vocal capabilities. (I will fight people over this.)

Just last night I was telling my mom about some of the internet uproar about Frozen (we saw it Christmas Eve and LOVE IT) before its release and then afterwards...crickets. Apparently getting upset about a movie you haven't seen yet can be kind of embarrassing, who knew!

As a flight attendant, I can tell you that most people stare blankly at my hip area for a lot of reasons, and probably not to guess my pant size. You're sitting down, someone is standing right next to you, it's uncomfortable to crane your neck constantly just for some prolonged eye contact. I'm not going to even…

I am still SO BITTER that McDonalds got rid of the Chicken Selects. They were seriously good chicken fingers, and because I live off of more fast food than I'd like to, I don't think I'll ever get over this. I miss you, grown-up chicken nuggets!

Sorry, various Jonaii, but I loved Jonas (what I saw of it) and it made me, at the time a semi-functional almost-adult, genuinely laugh out loud. I'm still sad they took it off Netflix.

I'm unionized and this is the first year I'll be making holiday pay (new contract). I know exactly how it feels to have everyone else making more/having people assume you're making more because you're working on the holiday.

I've worked every Thanksgiving for the past five years because that's the job I signed up for - every day is a working day, there are no holidays (except for the corporate employees in their cushy offices making four times what I make). I feel for fellow employees who work holidays but I also like to remind folks…

This really sucks if the place you're travelling to is the last place you want to be (and by that I don't mean an unpleasant relative's house). I just want to get to my hotel so I can drink myself silly and eat junk food in front of the TV! Give me what little holiday I can have!!
