Travel to Europe Part IV

By -
The stylish eye masks the airlines give you on long flights can double as a headband or pirate eye patch. You might be invited to a costume party while you are there, so don't throw it away.

Bung in my bung hole! I didn't know they GAVE those things to you! Would've been frickin' awesome to know when I was traveling at like 6:00 am, and trying to sleep while some nincompoop in the row in front of me was the ONLY PERSON on the plane with their window wide open, on the side with the sun coming directly in--TOOL!

I will surely ask for one next time.

Unfortunately Jay, I think you can only get them on international flights.

Does Texas count as international? It's almost Mexico™

Ask immigrations.

I think they have them on red-eye flights, too. Probably depends on airline. You probably won't get them on Skybus. Or window shades, for that matter.

If Texas is almost Mexico, what does that make New Mexico?

I also think they reserve the stylish eye masks for longer flights. I got them on Delta. It might be newer cause I know I didn't get them when I went to South America though the flight was just as long. But asking may not hurt. Good luck fellow traveler.

We should do a few traveling tips as well - if it's dark in the plane, you don't really need to see the sunrise.

Question. Do you have to give the eye masks back? Because that would probably be the number one way of spreading conjunctivitis.

No, didn't you notice the stylish headband I wore last week?

Spelling Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
I have always had a hard time spelling the word "hors d'oeuvres," for the times I've sent out party invites. And it's a pain in the tush to try and find it on M-W.com. So here's a good way to remember how to spell it:

HORSE (but no"E") + DOE+ UVRAYS (But spelled like it's pronounced by Julie Andrews in the D0-Re-Mi song on the Sound of Music...UV UV+RE...silent H...S)

Then remember there's an apostrophe after "D." Or, if you took French (I did not), apparently "oeuvres" means "works," if you can remember that (I'm not putting money on it, because I just used freetranslation.com). Here's a fun article on food spellings.

Sensitivity Tip of the Day

By -
When a friend, who is visually distraught (cracking voice/moisture under the eyes), it might not always be best to agree with them. Say for example, she just had a bad, um I don't know, eyebrow waxing incident. She might ask some thing like "do I have angry eyes?" This would be a perfect time, even for the super agreeable person, to disagree with their question. If you're up for an extra challenge, just don't lie through your teeth. Come up with something creative and sweet, such as "Could you try to smile for me real quick." (wait for smile) "No, your eyes don't look angry when you're smiling."
