Oooh. Ok. Sorry, when I hear an airline with a specific place name my brain goes to somewhere within that place as one of the ends of the flight. It gives me an anchor point if I'm looking into flight lengths. :)

Regardless, I can see why some airlines have restrictions, especially on certain flight paths. They're not exactly equipped to handle labour if the pregnancy is high risk or something unexpected goes wrong and there's an increased chance of early labour later in pregnancy in that situation. (And it's higher if it's twins, triplets, etc. You can have multis 'on time', but you have a higher chance of going into early labour in that case to begin with.) And if you're say...halfway across the Pacific or Atlantic you don't really have a lot of options in any kind of emergency situation. Whereas if the flight is from LA to Toronto you have a lot of places you can land in a situation like that.

It never hurts to discuss and check in with your trusted medical provider(s) at that stage of pregnancy or if you're in the high risk category (or if you have other non-pregnancy conditions that might put you at an increased risk). Forearmed - with knowledge in this case - is forewarned, right! :)

How long was the flight though? Were you staying within say... three hours of travel or was it crossing the Pacific or going to like...Florida...which are both over 7hrs? The flight length and where you're travelling to can be a factor in whether they ask for documentation or not.

It sounds like this guy needs SLAM LOTION! The best sunscreen for manly men that want to suntan like a man!!!

And if you didn't know...it's a real thing. I just learned about it today.

That is so common with this type of thing. So frustrating.

Some people just 'speak like that' using hyperbolic examples. So correcting them on using the word 'exaggeration' when they used a form of exaggeration is being the grammar police when nobody called for you. There's nothing wrong with using the word 'hyperbole', but there's nothing wrong with the word they used either.

From Merriam-Webster...

(Woops...hit meant to add)...saying exaggeration instead of hyperbole isn't wrong.

Omg, yes about Forrest Gump! That story is as feel good/uplifting as news stories about people living in a city that left potholes unfilled for so long that a literal child starts risking their safety and filling in the ones in their community and then the mayor commends them on doing the thing that the city should have done... (Yes, it's a real story, and yes, the news tried to make it sound like a heart-warming tale.)

 

For me...

Downtown Abbey is terrible. I watched the entire show because my friends kept saying that it would get better and I was tryin' to like it, but it never got better. From the first episode I was like, 'This is crap...'

I said it above and I'll say it again...a Nero situation might just happen at the next Olympics and it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

So what you're saying is that the UK needs a repeat of Cable Street to drive home that fascism isn't welcome and drive out wannabe-Mosley.

I wouldn't be surprised if we had a Nero situation happen at the next Olympics.

 

Pretty much the question - I know there are some communities in this one and I've joined them, but I'm just curious in case I missed them when I was browsing servers.

Thanks a bunch!
