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

I’ve been through about 3/4 of the airports on the list, mostly as the result of 35 years of business travel.

I know I’ve been to O’Hare, but other than that, I’ve never paid attention to the names of the airports I’ve been to. I’ve always just thought of them as “the (?) airport in [city].” So I didn’t answer that poll question because I didn’t want to assume that the airports I’d been in were the specific ones listed. I haven’t done much flying, though.

28/46 I think, also business travel.

I’ve actually not done all that much travel, and I still hit 25% of those airports. I was surprised that I kept having airports I could check off.

In TOS is appears they have basic food materials- carbs, proteins, fats, etc- it is a food synthesizer, not a replicator. They can run out.

I took my best guess at the airports; but I may have gotten one or more wrong, and/or missed one or more.

I also don’t usually know the names; except that I know if you’re flying out of NYCity you don’t want to take a cab to the wrong one. I think I’ve flown out of both LaGuardia and Kennedy, but am not sure. And I’m assuming, for instance, that there’s only one busy airport in Atlanta, and only one in Miami, and so on.

Every international airport except Mexico City, every airline except France and Qatar.

I flew out of London, IIRC, many years ago. I suppose that was Heathrow, and so voted, but who knows?

It depends. Today the vast majority of flights between London and the US are to/from Heathrow, but prior to around the late aughts there were many flights between the US and London-Gatwick as well. It had to do with the treaty governing air travel between the US and UK, which used to spell out which airlines could use which airports, but has been liberalized since then.

I’ve been to 79% of the US airports, and about half the international ones. And I didn’t even travel that much for work. I have friends and family scattered around the world, and I love to travel.

Now you tell me.

(I’ve done exactly that)

mmm

It was early 80’s, or thereabouts. So I guess I don’t know.

And as far as which airlines I’ve flown on, I haven’t a clue.

Holodeck: wilderness trails.

My first memory may be my memory of visiting my mom in a mental hospital after she attempted suicide (she’d just lost a baby at 15 or 16 weeks gestation after tripping and falling down the stairs while carrying a laundry basket, and the guilt and what ifs crushed her) when I was two. I know a lot of people wonder if their early memories are real or stuff they were told about, but my parents definitely didn’t tell me about it prior to me asking, and were not happy that I remembered any of that when I asked what was going on in that memory.

Guy Movies? Where is:

Pulp Fiction
Seven Samurai
Yojimbo
La Femme Nikita
Leon: The Professional
The Big Red One
The Dirty Dozen

The Dirty Dozen is in the poll. There is a maximum of 50 poll items. The poll has 49 because I found a duplicate at the last moment.

I can’t imagine commiting to watching every episode in a TV series. Heck, i can’t imagine commiting to watching a full episode of a show i haven’t watched before.

I couldn’t even commit to reading all the options in the poll, do you think I can stick with a TV show? :sweat_smile:

Committing might be a too-strong word for me, but if I start a series, I want to feel like I’m fully prepared to go the distance unless the first two or three episodes just suck out loud.

My daughter wanted to check out The Ranch, and I was willing to go along with it on the strength of the cast (notwithstanding the participation of one particular highly disgraced actor), and we were both in agreement to abort before the first scene was over simply because it was so damn awful.

What an awful experience for your entire family! It might have been good for them to discuss it with you openly as you grew, but I can certainly see it being really tempting to say nothing and hope you didn’t remember.

My grandmother on my mom’s side had a late miscarriage when my mom was maybe 3 or 4. She knew about it from her older sister, but it was never mentioned otherwise except, after they were grown, for dark warnings about never using a swing when you’re pregnant. There’s a little stone in the family’s section of the graveyard that just says “Baby [Lastname]” with only the year.
