And being military, you were presumably more
trustworthy than most. And I'm guessing this was
before 9/11/01.

This was just about 6 months before 9/11, March 19, 2001. We flew to LA
that day, then on to HI the next (our 25 years, 6 months anniversary).

Ah, less complicated times.

That was back in the day when we were allowed 2 suitcases, up to 70
pounds and 2 carry ons each; when we picked up the suitcases in LA, had
a tag on a couple that they were 69.something pounds. We probably did a
bit of juggling at the hotel to take out some of the weight. Now we have
a hand held scale so we can weigh them--and haven't been anywhere near
the 50 pound limit.

Active military still get a generous baggage
allowance, and I think even then the limits are
generally waived.

It's the solvent that is the true danger and
what should disqualify the products from being
taken aboard airplane cabins.

Best off put in checked bags or banned entirely and pick up a new one at
the destination in that case.

Nail polish and remover are nauseating and flammable;
they should be banned at least in airplane cabins (and
I would say elsewhere as well).

Got you out of a sticky situation, did it.

Quite so, tho it rather shocked our girls that Mom would use hair spray
for that. They were probably thinking I'd dispatch it with a fly swatter
or similar but the hair spray did a much better job, and was just a
quick grab away.

I'd hope that after being shocked, they would take the
lesson in creative improvisation to heart.

In most modern aircraft, if there's one galley,
it's in front, and depending on the length of
the fuselage, there will be another at the tail
and may be one midcabin as well. Some of the
older planes have a single galley in the back.

OK, we don't fly as much any more since we got the camper. Last flights
were to/from Seattle on Southwest, last year before/after the Alaska
cruise. Southwest is very no frills, no real meals nor need for much of
a galley on their planes.

On a whim I checked seatguru.com (recommended for those
who want to choose an optimal plane seat in advance), and
Southwest planes have galleys both in front and in back,
whether they need them or not. Got to put all those Cokes
and pretzels someplace.

I'll go on fits and spurts with how much I use--more of it in the

That's probably true of most people, but it's
funny because it's really calorie-dense, something
you're looking for more in cold weather.

Most often I use mayo in cold things like salads or to mix with tuna or chicken fish. Yes, I use it in winter, but not as much as summer time.

The obvious answer is that mayo is used mostly in
cold dishes in the US, In other countries, it's just
as likely to be an ingredient of warm food.

Hi Michael,

And being military, you were presumably more
trustworthy than most. And I'm guessing this was

Ah, less complicated times.

Somewhat so, now with all the hoops that have to be jumped thru at
airports, the "good old days" seem very laid back.

That was back in the day when we were allowed 2 suitcases, up to 70 pounds and 2 carry ons each; when we picked up the suitcases in LA,

Active military still get a generous baggage
allowance, and I think even then the limits are
generally waived.

I don't remember if the duffle bag of uniforms was waived but other than
that (if it was), we had to follow the same restrictions on weight and
number of bags as other passengers. Our move from HI to GA was the last
tine we flew while active duty; we flew into LA then. Picked up a rental
car to get to LV where we finished the arraingments for the purchase of
the (out of) Focus which we drove to GA. When Steve retired, the Army
moved our stuff up to NC; we drove the (first) Escape.

Overall, I'd say they have. I also used to use hair spray as a cheap
fixative for pencil, charcoal or chalk drawings.

it's in front, and depending on the length of

Don't forget the plane cookies and peanuts. Last time we flew, they also
had some sort of lemon or vanilla sandwich cookie too.

I have used it in some warm dishes as well, not as often however.
