If you’re flying this summer, be prepared to kiss your family goodbye at the gate. Even if they’re on the same plane.
Airlines are reserving a growing number of window and aisle seats for passengers willing to pay extra. That’s helping to boost revenue but also making it harder for friends and family members who don’t pay this fee to sit next to each other. At the peak of the summer travel season, it might be nearly impossible.
Buying tickets two or more months in advance makes things a little easier. But passengers are increasingly finding that the only way to sit next to a spouse, child or friend is to shell out $25 or more, each way.
With base fares on the rise—the average roundtrip ticket this summer is forecast by Kayak.com to be $431, or 3 percent higher than last year—some families are reluctant to cough up more money.
“Who wants to fly like this?” says Khampha Bouaphanh, a photographer from Fort Worth, Texas. “It gets more ridiculous every year.”
Bouaphanh balked at paying an extra $114 roundtrip in fees to reserve three adjacent seats for him, his wife and their four-year-old daughter on an upcoming trip to Disney World. “I’m hoping that when we can get to the counter, they can accommodate us for free,” he says.
Airlines say their gate agents try to help family members without adjacent seats sit together, especially people flying with small children. Yet there is no guarantee things will work out.- AP

Not to offend anyone, but…

Over the past few weeks…months…well years, I’ve been noticing an increasing number of women walking around in public with their heads wrapped up. I try to be one to never judge, but whenever I see these women the first thing I ask myself is: Do they wear those same bonnets or gang banging bandanas that they’ve been wearing all day to sleep at night? I mean why would you want your hair covered in something that smells like neighborhood residue and grocery store air?

There’s a part of me, maybe like 4%, that gets it. I know some women have to go through a lot to keep that hair fly, a few that have the “I don’t give a fu*k” attitude, and some are just too damn lazy to unwrap their hair but, come on people, this is becoming an epidemic. Watch the news or walk around Wal-Mart and you’ll see that the numbers are growing. So, for this week, let’s take a break from it. All women should embrace this made up holiday- “National NO Bonnet or Bandana in Public” week. Ladies, tell your friends and yourself to comb that hair before leaving home unless it’s wrapped for religious reasons. Hopefully, this will go well and we can have “National NO Leaving out the House in Pajama Pants” month. If you’re offended, remember I started out saying “Not to offend anyone” so it’s all good.

“Sir Richard’s is calling upon women to share “rules about what they won’t put in their vagina” to raise awareness for the lesser-known chemicals that are often found in condoms and lubricant, including spermicide, parabens, and glycerin”

A woman happily pranced her lady lumps into A New York store wearing nothing but skin. I know the back story to what happened, but this is so funny that the story is completely irrelevant. The lady walked in naked as if she was right and everybody wearing clothes was gross. Here’s the video below.

“This is my last action film,” he said. “I tell you, I’m not young any more. I’m really, really tired. And the world is too violent right now. It’s a dilemma — I like action but I don’t like violence.”

He sounds serious and in this next quote he says he wants to be the Chinese Robert De Niro… man, whatever.

“For the last 10 years I have been making some other different movies. I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro. I don’t just want to be an action star; I want to be a true actor. I want to get rid of my image … I want the audience to know I’m not only a comedian. I can act. Day by day, year by year, I’m going to show you the real Jackie Chan.

No matter what Jackie Chan decides to do, he is the man regardless and will always be this generation’s king of ass kicking.
