Small scissors to be allowed on airplanes

Think of them as the South Pacific cannibals do: long pig.

Fat lot of good it did them too, the earliest forms of BSE I think lol

Tell your Husband that the alternative i.e, no checking ,, might be hi-jacking ,,, thus being checked is worth it !!! mirjam

According to my DH, who used to work for a major airline, when someone buys a one-way ticket, or does not have any luggage, it means an automatic search. Also, ever seventh or eighth person is checked anyway. (or maybe it's another number.) Barbara in SC

I've always understood the main interest in one way tickets is the tax department lol

And a bit of Poor Richard for spice.

When I was growing up, we lived out in the "boonies" and grew most of what we ate. Going out to eat was an _Occasion_ back then, and something we only did once or twice a year. Before going out, my brother and I had to take a (tub, too young for showers at that point) bath, shampoo our hair and brush our teeth and put on Sunday Clothes. We always thought it was weird to brush our teeth before eating! Lee Ann J.

I can remember as a small kid being yanked into "Sunday clothes" because we were going to the airport to see Grandma off on a flight to Scotland. Just *going* to the airport, to meet someone or see them off, was a full dress occasion. Grandma was respendent in full tartan suit, wedge shoes (she had bad feet), gloves, and a really stupid hat (words fail me. Sort of a bandeau with rosettey things above the ears. And with veiling.)

I was at my friends' florist awhile back, and a commercial advertising some clothing store showed girls/ladies wearing the kind of top you mentioned, Dianne. I looked at my friend and told her I remember wearing those *under* a thin blouse, not *as* a blouse! That is one thing I'd never be caught wearing in public, I do not have that level of confidence. Never have, as a matter of fact....LOL Lee Ann J.

I not only lack the confidence, I lack the figure! I just think it's too strange to be wearing camisoles as blouses. They're even making sweaters the same way . . . which is an oxymoron.

Oh, good, it's not just me! I wasn't even sure I understood the concept behind short-sleeve sweaters, much less sleeveless, neckless, spaghetti-strap sweaters.

There is a knit cami in the magazine I got yesterday. I was contemplating using cool cotton yarn, so it would be better for spring/summer wear, rather than the warmer yarn they have it shown with.

Well, short-sleeved or sleeveless sweaters can be nice worn under some suit jackets. Or even under a full blouse. But camisole, spaghetti straps? Nuts.

I've seen short-sleeved chunky sweaters that would require buying a suit jacket two sizes larger than your usual for the jacket to fit over it. Those were the ones that totally puzzled me.

Ahhhh. The height of the ridiculous. :-) Where do these fashion statements come from, I wonder.
