My parents would rather call then email and only my demanding it has resulted in them getting a text plan for their cellphones (since we are all going to be on one plan now). I am going to lose my web access via phone at least for a little bit. I may move to my own plan in order to get it back, but it depends on cost.
Buffy! If I wanted to fight, you could tell by the being dead already.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Airbus A380
Yep.
The A380 has two levels for passengers for the entire length of the fuselage. But did you know that in 1949, Convair tried to sell a double-decker passenger plane to the airlines?
It was the XC-99, a development of the B-36.

The B-36 was a freaky airplane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Gud. Some of the guys here are strangely obsessed with it. But it just looks like a plane! Now if it looked weird, I'd get it.

An ugly plane, IMHO.
The B-36 was a freaky airplane.
Yeah. It was powered by 6 quadruple-row 28-cylinder piston engines and four jet engines. Missions could last for 30 hours or more. The Air Force invented TV dinners for the crews of the B-36.

I lack the subtlety of discernment to distinguish that. On the other hand, my belt is quite fetching.

I think the only reason it's interesting is that it's big. This is a picture that has some cars for comparison.

Also sort of famous because a Saudi prince brought one for private use.

Because it's a double-decker, the fuselage is relatively short. So the proportions look wrong to me. Some have compared the A380's fuselage to a watermelon.

I am wanting to find thin cotton bedspreads like I remember having in the 70s. They had like raised stripes on them, were solid colors. I have searched for "solid twin bedspread", "solid twin coverlet", "vintage twin bedspread" and various combinations. any ideas?
