I even asked the staff for a different room, I was informed that unfortunately due to the tropical weather, humidity lingers inside all of the rooms, so the only people who even notice the odors are those who arrive from outer climates. The local people have just become so accustomed to it that they don’t notice it as abnormal. Sure enough, the second and third rooms they allowed me to poke my head into had the same aroma. The open-air areas of the hotel, such as the lobby, the restaurant, etc, do not suffer that plight, only the rooms and meeting areas, because they remain closed up for more than half the day every day. ~ less

You want to be a good role model, good example and so you strive to be just that for them.Not saying that those who don't have kids aren't fine and wise and kind and good all alone on their own. But for me personally I know that being a mom changed me from the person I was becoming to the person I am. Whether that effect has lasted I cannot judge. My son left at 17 to go away to college and has mostly been on his own since then with occasional "living at home" during his earliest years. What kind of Rosemarie would I have been without him? I will never know. less

Window dressing packaging that gets ripped off and discarded when convenient. Yet some really think they are very pro law and order. Delusional?

Big step but without effecting that all hope is lost and the evildoer will continue on stronger than ever doing more awful as his cheering adoring worshippers egg him on. A fascination with ugly that is puzzling. A joy in destroying that I do not understand.

Either through the water they drink or the air they breathe. If evildoers can MURDER the enemy by spraying/releasing lethal things like Ricin(sp?) in the air to fell people why can't some GENIUS come up with something to make them PATRIOTIC so they will turn on the man that is destroying their country out in the open and taking victory laps for it and go crazy nuts cheering him on?How hard could it be? We sent humans to space and brought them back alive to tell about it. Now that was a hard thing to do. Thinking up a formula to remove the evil from sheeple and protect the people who are still human should not be an impossible task. Maybe the good guys are already working on it in secret. They did that when they invented the atomic bomb. Why can't they do it for something CONSTRUCTIVE? Any ideas? less

That's it!Flagrant consistent obdurate hostile angry vicious awful traitorous treasonous has taken the place of it here.

You gotchure fake pholkes and fake conspiracy theories and fake presidents and fake "journalists" and fake storylines and fakes. Spouting absolute LIES and GIBBERISH and mad-dog FASCISM and RACISM as if it were all the absolute truth. Perhaps there were bits and pieces of bullsh** LIARS always around in politics but never on this scale where FASCISM is the new kid in town and RACISM is front and center and HATE is the main entree on so many plates. Ugly. Awful. Spreading. Are YOU happy or are you dumbfounded and shocked and appalled and disgusted?As I said before. DUMB DA DUMB DUMB. The me I used to be. I'd rather be dumb. It was easier on me. less

Would you like something to drink?
Yes, do you have tomato juice?
We certainly do, I’ll bring you a glass of it, ok?
Wait, what is the temperature, please?
Excuse me?
What’s the temperature?
The temperature here in the aircraft or the temperature at our destination?
No, the temperature of the tomato juice.
The tomato juice.
Yes, the tomato juice.
Are you asking whether it’s chilled or at room temperature?
No, I’m asking what is the actual temperature in degrees of the juice itself, not the can or the bottle, not even the plastic cup, but the juice.
You’re kidding, right? Is this a joke?
I’m not joking.
You truly cannot be serious.
I am serious. I need to know if it’s the right temperature before I drink it.
Well, I suppose I could tell you that it’s chilled, but I have no way of gauging the exact temperature in degrees.
I thought this is one of the top airlines in the world.
