I will likely use lime. I will add anchovies, which is not original, but I like them.

Ok, now this is disgusting. Just read that a little girl had to use the bathroom on a Jet Blue plain while it was delayed on the tarmac. They wouldn't let her get up and she ended up wetting the seat and herself and they still wouldn't let he mom get up and take care of her.

Adults have the same problem. This is crazy. I'm guessing this rule comes from higher up than Jet Blue. If the girl had gone to the bathroom the plane would likely have returned to the gate and the family kicked off.

Jane, I believe it's all airlines. It has something to do with being on the tarmac. Does anyone know details?

Right, from "higher up" whoever that is. It seems urinating on the seat is also a health risk.

That's what I was thinking. And what kind of cleanup did they do before the next passenger sat there

Tornado watch just issued, been waiting for that....

Be safe!!!

I found this article from 2011 which states:
Adequate toilet facilities must be maintained and made available to passengers during the delay.

I will see if I can find something more current.

Jane · « **Reply #96 on:** June 14, 2014, 03:25:07 PM »

I didn't find anything more current, I did however find the story DR Cilla mentioned.

Apparently Jet Blue stated "We understand your concern. However, there are very strict FAA regulations when a plane is on the tarmac." Of course a link to that regulation wasn't included.

JetBlue and ANY airline that denies a passenger a bathroom because the stupid airport is backed up, should be held accountable. This is why I simply have no interest in traveling anymore and if it was me, I would have gotten up and used the bathroom and if that meant they returned to the gate and booted me off the flight, so be it. How DARE them.

Page four isn't bad, is it?

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** June 14, 2014, 04:31:29 PM »

We had a tornado watch the other day that preceded a nice thunderstorm with a good amount of needed rainfall and no tornadoes at all. Hope yours are likewise, Cillaliz.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** June 14, 2014, 04:32:15 PM »

Off to a pizza party. I wish I were a little more awake, but those sleep studies are really draining. I've had three naps today and still could use another.

Jane · « **Reply #104 on:** June 14, 2014, 04:44:55 PM »

DR John G I'm curious how the sleep study has been so draining. I've heard from people they were fine with them. Maybe they just say that to encourage me to go.

Jane · « **Reply #105 on:** June 14, 2014, 04:47:19 PM »

I admit, I am obsessed with the possibility of not being permitted to use the bathroom on a plane. I should say obsessed with knowing what my rights are. I think a good reporter might have called the FAA and asked if the Jet Blue statement was correct.

Jane · « **Reply #106 on:** June 14, 2014, 04:47:48 PM »

This morning we spent an hour at a neighbor's house playing with a puppy

After reading the full story I was correct, this almost happened according to the mother.

Still, would be worth finding out if this is an actual regulation - I mean, not the fact that the plane was on the tarmac, but in a HOLDING position on the tarmac, going nowhere. That's what's at issue here. As I said, I would have gone, and they could just damn well have gone back to the gate and escorted me off the plane. It's shameful.

Jane · « **Reply #109 on:** June 14, 2014, 05:25:02 PM »

Easy to say they can escort you off, however, if you have an important commitment where you are headed it could be an issue.

One is permitted to use the facilities prior to the plane departing, always a safe thing to do if you can't go just before boarding. I expect this little girl should have done that but I'm sure the mother never imagined what happened. I'm just careful because I know they won't let you up if there is turbulence, not that I want to get up anyway and get more air sick.

Good evening all

the occular migraine passed eventually without incident

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** June 14, 2014, 05:59:49 PM »

I had this for the first time a few months again and it terrified me because I thought I had a detached retina and was going to go blind ( this happened to a member of our church)

The opthamolgist explained about the occular migraine and that now I have had one I will probably continue having them

It causes disruption in my vision and I have to stop reading or using the computer watching TV etc until it passes

vixmom · « **Reply #114 on:** June 14, 2014, 06:01:08 PM »

this morning I got up early and got everything ready for the surprise party we were invited to this afternoon

vixmom · « **Reply #115 on:** June 14, 2014, 06:03:14 PM »

the party was for the man who was the best man at our wedding and Vixdad was in charge of getting him out of his house while the party was put together and then back to his house for the party without alerting him

He performed admirably and the surprise went off without a hitch

vixmom · « **Reply #116 on:** June 14, 2014, 06:05:19 PM »

My car tire, as expected was flatter than a pancake, but fortunately we all have air compressors inour cars, so I pumped up the tire as full as I could and the Vixter followed me to the tire place and we arrived just as they opened at 9 am

vixmom · « **Reply #117 on:** June 14, 2014, 06:07:59 PM »

the hole was right in the tire wall and I had been told in January that the rear tires would need replacing soon so I bit the bullet and bought a pair of rear tires

vixmom · « **Reply #118 on:** June 14, 2014, 06:08:52 PM »

$300 poorer I headed over to church with the Vixter for the assisting ministers and deacons meeting

Jennifer · « **Reply #119 on:** June 14, 2014, 06:08:57 PM »

If the plane is not moving for hours then the rules should change. That makes no sense. it's one thing if the plane is on the tarmac for a few minutes. but absolutely ridiculous to hold everyone hostage for hours.
