Rush you’re a “role model” wife! 🥴

Man Receives Gold Medal For Standing Up First When Airplane Stops

DALLAS, TX — Airline passenger Lyle Finch defied the odds Thursday when he stood up faster than anyone else on American Airlines flight 2211 after it had come to a complete stop. Finch was subsequently awarded the gold medal to honor his incredible speed and initiative.

"They said it couldn't be done, but I proved them all wrong. Look at me, everyone! I'm standing up!" said a clearly emotional Finch. "This is for you, mom!"

According to sources, Finch trained his entire life to be the first person to stand up on the plane after it had landed and come to a complete stop. It was always his dream to be up first and ready to leave as soon as humanly possible.



"At first I did it because I hate flying and don't want to be on these terrible planes one millisecond longer than I have to," Finch reflected in an interview with ESPN's SportsCenter. "But now I do it for the kids. They need a good role model."

Commentators have reportedly questioned the purpose of honoring such a skill when it accomplishes nothing. "So he stands up first. Whoopdedoo," said another passenger. "It doesn't get him off the plane any faster. I've seen people wait a half hour to get off the plane after it stops — and they just stand there the whole time like a moron."

At publishing time, Lyle Finch signed deals with Wheaties and Nike.

I think they do where it’s legal.

Not positive but I think  in Nevada for one.

This is what happened today. I was told I can’t eat vegetables for 3 days before the procedure so I had a box of Rice-A-Roni for lunch and I was hungry.  But my husband had just made his lunch and somehow got butter all over the burner.  (How the hell he gets the butter from the inside of the pan to the outside bottom I have no idea but he does). 

So I need to scrub it clean before I can use the burner to make my Rice-A-Roni which calls for a large skillet and there is only one large burner.  I can’t clean it until it’s cool and it took FOR FUCKING EVER to cool down while I’m starving to death.

Finally it’s cool enough to clean up the butter and I decide to use my copper bottomed Revere Ware instead of the non stick skillet I usually use because I thought the Rice-A-Roni would do better in it.  Well the skillet would not sit flat.  It would when cool, but as it heated it warped and wouldn’t make full contact with the burner so I have this one small hot spot and the rest wouldn’t cook right.

My old electric element stoves, the spiral elements actually conform to the pan bottoms when they heat.  It was never an issue.  Gas of course would be no problem, it’s a flame.  So it took FOREVER to get the stuff browned and to bring the water to a boil after it was added.  And then I notice my husband had the “sensor” feature turned off.  When the sensor feature is turned off it’s like every setting is ratcheted DOWN, it’s cooler.  So I’m waiting for it to take the usual forever to heat up but no, it’s going to take the extra long forever.

I despise this thing.  We are talking about what it will take to convert to gas and it would be a major renovation. It’s on an island with no good way to get a gas line to it.  We’ll have to tear up the whole kitchen floor and take out cabinets on one wall, or maybe run it through the attic and then have a stupid gas line coming out of the ceiling dropping down to the island.

We might eventually bite the bullet and spend the money because one of these days my husband is going to say “I’m tired of hearing you bitch about it.”

Do you have a basement or crawl space? If so run the gas line under there then up thru the floor to your island.

Yes gas rules! 👊

RIP. Seemed like a nice guy when I frequented POA and read his interesting and informative posts.

Payback. New speaker close to McCarthy and Pelosi encouraged the Dems not to save McCarhty’s butt.

C’mon now he said he was just in a hurry to cast his vote. 🙄
