Some of those should also have stuck with the organic chemistry as well to understand that saving a few $ on a gallon of Wal Mart paint doesn't save you anything as you'll need to put on 3 or 4 coats to get it to cover 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving chocolate and sugar confectionery the chance to sell them was irresistible which I have done for over 35 years. My job reviewing records was only a few months but I spent 4 years notarizing music contracts for an agent .I never met any of the singers but I met their Managers and got many free passes to concerts .Some for backstage which were really good .I also got autographed pictures of the band members which I gave to my kids. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted August 12, 2023 #100581 Share Posted August 12, 2023 One website I occasionally look at , just for fun, is called Flightradar24, that allows me to see airplanes flying around my area of Florida. A feature is a box featuring a list of the most followed flights in the website. Just a note about this subject, all ended well, except the passengers did not end up at their hoped for destination. The flight UA1076. a Boeing 757 LAX - EWR declared an emergency shortly after takeoff. Mr Google on that flight number lead to this site. https://aviationsourcenews.com/emergency/united-757-squawks-7700-off-californian-coast/ This website, based in the UK, gives us what looks like a real time chronicle of what they watched, along with a Youtube picture of the airplane after landing. LAX must have a live feed on Youtube. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was late booking my seats but luckily enough Row 56 was open at the back where the plane tapers and there are only 2 seats. I grabbed those both there and back and they were great seats. I would definitely pick those again for the 2 of us. Edited August 13, 2023 by Ourusualbeach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
