Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 1)

Economy plus class, whatever an airline calls it, suits my needs.

I usually get economy plus these days.

That’s still like a $1000-$1200 upgrade to London. And (if I’m not mistaken) at least on British Air the seats were no better last time I went. You just got posh food, whoopie.

I won an acting award for a Parks and Recreation summer drama program!

I said the duck that bit me was one I owned, but technically it was my brother’s duck, and his ducks (all except Henry Bibby) nibbled rather than biting down hard.

The correct answer is “I’d use my Delta miles to upgrade and book a decent seat on Air France.”

I did specify in the non-flying options that the ticket is fully refundable, so assume you’re upgrading from a full fare completely flexible and refundable ticket, not a cheapo non-changeable ticket.

I did assume that. Original ticket: $700ish. Refund that and pay out of pocket $4500 (or $3800 more) for Biz class. Ka ching!

Really? You’re finding fully flexible tickets to London for $700?

Aha, I’d missed your point. The booking site I’m using doesn’t let you filter for that, but spot checking several flights I see a couple refundable ones for $1072. OK, so then you’d spend $3400+ to upgrade to biz class. Still ka-ching IMO.

I initially misunderstood that as saying you’d acted on the TV show Parks and Recreation.

Ha. No. I was like eleven.

I didn’t pick other, but this is how I do it.

On showering/shitting I’m torn. I nearly always do the poop thing first, but then I suffer through what I consider the seriously loathing poop-smell/steam combo, ick bleh. :face_vomiting:

Or sometimes I just shower shave etc, then when done I unexpectedly realize I have to poop and feel unclean again after. :disappointed:

Usage-based car insurance already exists….

consider a better bathroom fan? I feel like the smell has usually dissipated by the time I get into the shower.

It’s an open beam ceiling with a window, no fan. The poop-aroma leaves via the window, pretty slowly. I’m considering remodeling this bathroom so things may change, but fans in open beam ceilings have issues, logistic and esthetic. I’ve begun just pooping in another bathroom then scuttling to the other one to bathe, PITA.

That’s what I was thinking.

Well, it’s my own poop, so it doesn’t smell bad like other people’s poop does.

The flip side of this is if my plumber is doing a job at my house, I don’t want him answering (or texting, etc.) his phone every damn minute!

Right - you need to keep off my lawn.
