Yea fucking American Airlines charged me $60 for my bags on my Mexico trip each way, even though I got their stupid credit card just for the baggage fee on that trip. Apparently the card only gives you free bags on domestic flights, almost every other airline gives free bags on international flights without having their card. Such a rip off hidden fee. Everyone one of their planes, except one, that I flew on was a flying dumpster also.

I'll avoid American Airlines the next time I fly which may be a while.

Just remember two things:
1. Don't wear fragrance around hospitals or people who don't like it and don't wear it too heavy;
2. Don't wear it around people with asthma or hay fever.
Do wear it around certain women who are the type that like it.

How about just leave it at home? Saying don't wear heavy doesn't help, people are convinced what they wear isn't too heavy even when you can smell it from San Francisco to Seattle.

My work has a bunch of rules about aroma because (maybe I shouldn't say this) one Sales guy would smell like a walking cologne factory and it would be so strong people would literally get ill from it. So instead of singling him out they just made a bunch of blanket rules that people basically need to be "clean" but also as odor neutral as possible.
 
Today was the most boring day in a while. TVIX is ramping up, tomorrow will probably be a lot of red.

I'm trying to be polite. Being pushy can be counterproductive. Unless on a date, I don't really see the need for wearing fragrance, however, being young and single can be forgiven for we were all once young and single.
 
I remember the first bottle of cologne I ever bought.

...I was about 15-16...I bought a bottle of Jade East Lime...thought it would make the girls fall at my feet...I was wrong.

Have not worn any sort of cologne for at least 25 years, maybe longer...most guys, myself included, go way overboard with it.

I've worn Jade East, Canoe, English Leather, Old Spice and maybe a couple others when I was in my late teens and 20s and never had women fall at my feet, either. Geez, I was suave, debonair and all that shit and I thought the fragrance would surely cinch the deal. Damn, I shaved at least once a month during my monthly bath so what more did they expect?
 
Stock market's Dow Jones is down 900 points today, Friday, March 20, 2020.

When flying under foreign flags they should also forgo help from the American Navy and American embassies.

Except for the fact that American citizens are onboard.

Well, I was speaking of the cruise lines and not the passengers. Yes, you've got to protect American passengers, just not the ships nor the foreign passengers.
Americans would should have the efforts of the American embassies but it's not really fair to depend on that. Perhaps a tax representing that help would make it more worthy.

This is one of the most incoherent things I've ever seen. How is universal healthcare a hallmark of "tech savvy farmers?" What does that even mean?

Science and tech are definitely more the province of farmers than cities, that's for sure. I can't wait for those tech-savvy farmers to provide us with the vaccine for COVID-19.

LOL
Also, it's the blue states and the blue cities that will be providing hospital space and expertise in handling the overflow from the rural red regions during this crisis. The red areas are woefully ill prepared and ignorant of what's going on and what we face in the future.

Going to look into becoming one of those tech-savvy farmers? And if guns is one of the future trends for society, that kind of puts you at a disadvantage, doesn't it? What with your ninja sword portfolio and discomfort with guns.

I believe we will start being more self reliant as a nation, and less reliant on foreign imports. Farming would be good to get into. Not my thing, but I think it will thrive once this has passed and we are on the road to recovery.

I think globalism is only going to continue once the pandemic passes.

This is why we can't have nice things. No one's thinking of what Trump must be going through at a time like this. We get so wrapped up in our own issues and the issues of the people he's been failing.

We need to start a gofundme or something.

Good thing they didn't have that international summit at Mar-A-Lago. I guess they could have put sleeping bags on the beach and held their summit in beach lawn chairs. Food would have been complicated but there's always take out.
