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.

Now listen here…next time you wanna come for me, at least send me a comfortable ride, lol.

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.

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.

I once applied for a government position. Entry level admin. I had been working admin for 7+yrs plus various volunteer positions since I was 18.

It was about 2hrs to fill out the form and answer all their questions.

I didn’t hear anything back after a couple of weeks and was like, ‘Ok. I should have heard back by now, I didn’t get picked for an interview, whatever.’

ONE YEAR LATER I got an e-mail telling me that they weren’t going ahead with my application.

If it’s been a year and you’re reaching out then it had better say that a new position has opened up and would like to talk to me about it, not ‘We’re going ahead with other candidates.’ Also, if that’s when you’re getting an answer then it kinda looks like, ‘We finally saw your application.’ The slow turning wheels of bureaucracy…

It’s fuckin’ ridiculous.
