Nazi UFO Electromagnetic Propulsion & Antigravity Technology

I know how that is. My son has this wonderful, luciously curly hair (I couldn’t bear to cut it, even when he was 2, but everyone would ask me what “her” name was....) and this double row of curly eyelashes, both of which I would have killed for.

These days, if my nails grow faster than anticipated, I figure it’s a real bonus! LOL!

I’ve been waiting for two months for my nail to grow out. My daughter was going to do my nails today, but she has my Christmas present from my grandson sitting in the open, and she didn’t want me to see it. Like, I’d know by looking that it was for me, right?

As it turns out, I had to trim back the nail, so it won’t be ready for acrylics until next week. Since she will be in Fresno with her monster-in-law, she said she will do mine on Christmas Day.

So instead of spending a quiet day at home, I get to spend time having my nails done. And I get to furnish the cinnamon rolls!

What are the nail clippers for?

Nails. Can be useful for other things too. Not really necessary in such a kit; I just came across them when going through travel stuff.

How fast do your nails grow, anyway?
Is there a reason you like living in the rain forest?

No faster than anyone else's, I think; I don't really know. To the latter, yes; my nose bleeds when I'm in dry climates too long.

toothbrush & paste
floss (small but not really mini-sized)
razor & shaving cream

packet of conditioner

The non-liquid items are in a snack bag inside.

Since then, if it’s liquid of any density, it goes in a bag.

Same here. Except on the last trip, when the toiletry bag did not fit well in the garment bag, so I unloaded it into three quart bags that fit in a pocket side-by-side. I did not keep the shampoo and conditioner in their own snack bags.

[Monkey Face]

Some things, I instinctively double-bag. I can’t even tell you what things...it seems to be an “on-the-spot” sort of thing.

Even when I’m not flying, I do that. Old habits die hard, I guess.

[Monkey Face]

I also squeeze the air out of the bags, as much as possible, so they take up less room.

Me too. If I were packing this minikit, I'd suck the air out of it.

[Monkey Face]

Do you use a straw????

[sionnsar]

No. Just leave one corner of the ziplock seal open, and inhale (carefully *\;-). Doesn’t get it really tight, but good enough to more or less keep things in place.

[Monkey Face]

Use a straw. It will amaze you how much more air you can get out of the bags.

A bus driver taught me that! She did it with her meats. She would take them from their original packages, put them in a zipper bag, put in ketchup, or BBQ sauce and whatever seasoning she wanted before sticking them in the freezer, and when she got to the last inch of the zipper, she would put a straw in and suck the rest of the air out.

I thought it was funny, until I tried it.

So I do that with my travel bags.

[sionnsar]

Thanks for the tip! I will try that.

[Monkey Face]

Wekkum!

‘Tis the Season to share!

[sionnsar]

Yup.

Huh. Except for the hour's walk, I've been here most all day and still haven't gotten to processing the rest of the Vienna pictures. But at least I took care of some other small work-related items today (like making sure I had okay seats on my just-booked flights to/from New York in a month, approving my European organization's Christmas card, etc.).

But I have to get to those photos...

[Monkey Face]

That’s OK. I’m here past my bedtime, so I need to surrender to the flannel sheets. They call loudly and insistently, this time of night!

I’ll talk to you tomorrow! Be good to yourself, and be sure to let me know when the photos are ready.

Okay, and will do. Don't feel the jetlag pull to bed yet, so I may be readjusting to home time at a record rate.

[Monkey Face]

This is good, yes? Jet lag is truly an enema enemy.

[sionnsar]

1776 This is good yes. Jet lag isn’t fun, and usually returning home is thr troublesome part.

[Monkey Face]

Been there. Don’t like it. But it’s easier to go from East to West than the other way around.

[sionnsar]

I hear different stories from different folks. Some go easier E to W, some W to E, but me... getting on schedule "there" is easier outbound than when coming home.

This last trip was an exception. It took several days before I got on European time. I suspect this was due to the Ambien I was taking and other factors that kept me from my usual ordeal (arriving in Europe) of arriving in the morning quite trashed, taking a several-hour afternoon nap followed by a very painful alarm-driven wakeup, shower, dinner, then a crash for the night. Come morning, I'm at least 90% functional.

[Monkey Face]

I tried Ambien, once. I either barfed it up immediately, or managed to hold it until my eyes opened.

I found the best thing on long trips (Pak, for example) was to take naps all the way over, and throw out the clock. I napped from O’Hare to Heathrow, maybe a total of five hours, napped between flights (maybe five hours all told) and napped again from Heathrow to Islamabad.

Jet lag was not much of an issue, so when I plan to travel out of my time zone, I take some benedryl with me, and that helps me nap.

I took naps on the way home, as well, so the entire thing was not really as traumatic as it was the first time I crossed the Atlantic.
