Has anyone here bought Business Class tickets through a discount site? What was the experience like?

From washingtonpost.com: A Delta passenger sitting in first class allegedly assaulted a flight attendant, calling him homophobic slurs, throwing ice at him and hitting him in the chest with a phone, according to an arrest affidavit. Christopher Alexander Morgan was flying home to Arizona from Atlanta on Friday when the incident unfolded, the FBI report says. The trip was rocky from the start: Before takeoff, Morgan reclined his first-class seat all the way back and refused to fasten his seat belt, the affidavit says. One of the flight attendants, identified as G.H., had to push the button on the seat to move it upright. Still, Morgan was able to order an alcoholic beverage. When he asked for a second one, a flight attendant identified as H.D. offered him a nonalcoholic beverage, which “angered Morgan,” the arrest report says. He allegedly threw a glass of ice at the flight attendant’s face and started to use slurs against him. Another passenger tried to calm the situation, but Morgan got angry and held his glass up to the man’s face, the report says. The flight attendant identified as H.D. walked to the galley area to tell the pilot by phone what was happening. Morgan allegedly got out of his seat, grabbed the phone and hit H.D. in the chest with it. Another flight attendant was told to stay near the cockpit door for the rest of the flight “out of security concerns for the flight crew,” the report says. https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2022/04/26/delta-unruly-arrest-passenger-assault/

Years of experience with the hot summer months have taught me that they zip by pretty fast. I have often gone to Brazil for a couple of weeks, but can't this season. A/C is the best way to avoid the heat! Can you imagine living in the desert without it? The heat is one reason I became a morning person. It's lovely at 4 am!

Maybe we will soon have yet another forum! This one would be about Gay Home Decor! I think it might be quite popular.

The big musical event of the last two weekends has been the Coachella Festival. Local grocery stores were packed as the attendees stocked up on food and beverages for their three-day event each weekend. Restaurants were as well. We took a snowbird friend whom many of you know out to an early lunch today and the lines of cars trying to enter the packed parking lot were quite long. Then there was a wait as every table was taken, indoors and out. And here I thought all of the youngsters went home yesterday. Snowbird season is coming to an end. That means less crowds, but also less to do. And, of course, the hot desert weather is on the way.

We took a boat ride from HCMC down the river. We stopped at a few villages, but were not welcome at some where they didn't like Americans. It was an all day trip.

I remember when threads posted in the Lounge weren't always questions! Do you?

I borrowed it from the LA Times!

Warning!

Was that on 45th Street near Times Square? I had a similar experience once.

Johnny is being battered in a US courtroom as he sues Amber for libel. Neither one of them comes out looking good here. https://time.com/6168367/johnny-depp-amber-heard-testimony-libel-lawsuit/

A reminder that Mathew was once so cute...

Warning!

Sorry, I am having trouble reading this!

The time I spent at the Gaiety and Stella's seems so long ago. I didn't know how good we had it...okay, yes, I did! Thanks, @Cooper

I remember seeing part of the 1952 Rep. convention on TV...black and white, of course.

The Angels have Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and many others who make them one of the better teams to watch.

What? You expect him to Google it? 😉

Maybe because the thread is about another spa.

Fiber One 70-calorie bars should clean you out good for a colonoscopy! They can cause severe and explosive leaking of the contents of your intestines. Just one bar should do ya!

Just about everyone around me has an alarm service. Is that why they are never needed?

Many baseball players have large forearms. When I see someone with skinny arms, I think he is not going to hot well.

Andrew Heaney was a great disappointment with the Yankees. Why couldn't he have shined like this last year?

Discussions here of online scams are too old to resuscitate, so I mention anew the one I almost fell for. I have purchased a couple of appliances from Best Buy in the past, so when I received an email saying that my Protection Plan was automatically renewing, I thought it might be true- not that I remembered having any plan. They were billing me for $349.99, a pretty stiff amount to pay. I haven't needed any repairs on the products I bought. One of them is 8 years old. So I looked up the number for the Geek Squad customer service, a wise move rather than calling the number in the email. There I gave the information to the representative and she politely informed me that the email was a scam. If I called the number, they would try to get banking information from me. I was relieved that I didn't owe the money! Yet the email looked so official. Anyway, I know seniors are often scammed, but not this time!
