My former tech coworkers were also fascinated by that plane. But it made sense because we worked for Boeing.
So, arthritis. My family all has it so I figured I`d get it eventually too. Now I have (mild, twingy) joint pain and stiffness periodically, mostly in my hips and knuckles. At first it was strongly associated with my menstrual cycle, and came with the weird joint looseness. When it`s that, it`s mild until it`s suddenly, briefly, very intense hip pain. Like can`t stand up pain. And then it`s gone. This cycle there was nada. It was fine.
So I`m confused. What is that? Does it sound like early arthritis? Is there anything I can do about it?
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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 had a bedspread like that in the 70s. It was from Sears.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have no opinion on the Airbus or any other plane, but as a born and bred (4th generation) Californian, I had never heard of a singular split (except, as Tep notes, related to champagne) before this conversation. I grew up knowing tons of dance students and actors working hard to become double or triple threats, and since it was a big-deal flexibility goal we talked about it a lot, and it was always, always "the splits."

I'm from the Midwest and say do the splits. Which sounds funny now that i've read it 18 times! But I'd only heard "a split" in reference to champagne.

Our wings are not tired.
MsBelle, I used to buy exactly that at Cost Plus World Market. But limited colors; I always got a taupe.

msbelle, seersucker?
eta: And, meara, I just remembered that even my Midwest transplant best friend (from Minnesota) always called them "the splits," too.
There was one brief bendy time in my life when I could do them--right leg forward only, though. Could never, ever manage left leg forward.

I have never, ever heard "the splits". it sounds so weird to me.
I agree with Sue that those bedspreads are chenille bedspreads.

Yeah, in Seattle, it's always been the splits or splits. No singular split.
