Middle Seat

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Aisle Seat Passenger,

Hello.  Hope you are well.  I was the middle seat passenger sitting next to you on your most recent flight.  The petite Asian girl, you remember me, right?  I am glad you do because I have a few things I would like to go over with you.

1. Personal Space
Just because I fit comfortably in my seat with space on either side of me, it does not mean that you should try to occupy some of that space.  I like to keep the space around me clear, so that you do not touch me.

2. Armrests
The armrest is meant to be a divider between the two seats.  If you feel compelled to use it as an armrest, please be sure to allow me the opportunity to use it as well during the flight since it as a shared commodity.  I should not have to suffer through the flight with my arms at my side because you selfishly took over the armrest between us.  You have your own armrest on the aisle side, so please use that.  

3. Space under the Seat
The space under the seat in front of you is also divided to indicate which area is for which seat.  My legs may be short, and I do not use all the space to stretch out.  However, that does not mean that you should put your foot under the seat in front of me.  This also circles back to the first point of personal space.

Please take my suggestions under consideration.  I promise you, the middle seat passenger next to you will be very thankful.

Regards,
Middle Seat Passenger

PC Games for Couples

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Attention PC game creators!  Please design a PC game that Hubby and I can play together.  He enjoys Real Time Strategy (RTS) games like Company of Heroes and First Person Shooter (FPS) games like Battlefield.  I enjoy puzzle games like Spot the Difference or Sudoku.  I know, we have very different preferences, but hopefully you will be able to come up with something we can both enjoy together.  I am thinking maybe something like Mario Bros where we can play together as well as face different challenges and levels.  Thanks!

For PC gaming couples, what games do you like and play?

Sweet vs Salty

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The other day I was reading random articles/sites online, and I came across “30 Secrets Your Waiter Will Never Tell you” which then led me to “20 Secrets Your Waiter Won’t Tell You.”  I was really surprised by slide 2 where the waitress said that they put sugar in kids’ meals.

So, while in Tahoe with LL and J (post coming tomorrow), I mentioned the articles above and how disturbed I was about sugar in kids’ meals.  LL commented that companies that make sweet snacks rely on the sugar to get customers coming back to buy their products but that the same is not true for salty snacks.  I found this really interesting because sometimes I crave cookies (sweet) and when I get to the supermarket I end up buying crackers (salty).  Afterwards, I am bummed out because I did not buy anything sweet.  Really strange!

Do you prefer sweet or salty?  Do you ever buy the opposite of what you are craving?
