Fly Tip of the Day

By -
If you want nuts, don't fly Northworst--I mean, Northwest. Not only do they serve Pepsi products (how dare they), they also don't serve ANY snacking mechanism on most flights, but will "conveniently" charge you $3 for a "snack caddy." On top of your already expensive fare.

Like, seriously. As a PR person, I understand this. Just add $3 to my fare and give me the danged snack caddy. Because it looks WAY better than charging me the same $3 on the plane. It makes the airline look cheap.

True, they don't serve nuts, prezels, or any other snack foods, but they were the ones who gave me my emergency fare last week, cutting a $1000 flight to less than $300. So, for situations such as that, leave them open as an option.

We flew them because they were the cheapest too, and with almost everyone choosing flights because of initial price, I can see why they don't want to be $3 more expensive then the next guy. However, it is very good to know not the expect food on those flights, and you can be prepared. Those $3 things aren't enough to fill you up anyway, so if they would have disguised those as an actual meal I would have been even more mad and more importantly HUNGRY.

Not to dash anyone's expectations, but um... I'm pretty sure an airline meal has never filled me up.


And I would gladly pay an extra $100, $200, nay, even $500 for the privilidge of drinking Pepsi products. ;)

Blu-Ray Tip of the Day

By -
Well it's official . Now that Wal-Mart & Warner Brothers have both agreed to exclusively support Blu-Ray, there is no longer a big question mark as to what will be the disc type for watching High Definition movies at home. The other competitor was "HD DVD", not to be confused with regular "DVD" that we know and love. This whole deal was just what would be the new standard for HD movies. Regular old DVD will still be with us for many years to come for sure, but if you want to watch the latest movies on your big widescreen TV, then you might want to consider Blu-Ray as it will take advantage of every last pixel.

Sensitivity Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
Let's say you're a guy and you're somewhat interested in keeping in touch with a girl you had one date with months ago, and you find out the girl needs firewood, just like you do. "Aha, sharing firewood is a good idea!" The girl thinks it could work too--having combustible material for her fireplace at a more reasonable cost and more manageable amount is great! (Girl has said she's not interested in dating said guy, but girl made unwise decision in instant messaging to be nice and playing the "just friends" card.) Let's say you call said girl on New Year's Eve to set up firewood plans and she is convalescencing with The 36-Hour Stomach Bug. This tip is two-fold: Do not ever go on endlessly about a recent relationship while having a conversation with a girl you hardly know that is writhing in pain and only keeping down crackers and ginger ale, even if she's given you the "just friends" card. In fact, this is a good tip for any p...
