Hi Michael,

 RH> Changing tables save your back--put the baby up to a decent working
 RH> level. I tried not using one, then my sister in law loaned me one and
 RH> it was so much easier. Still, not a "must have" item but a very
 RH> appreciated one. High chairs are good for keeping the baby corraled at
 RH> meal times and makes feeding easier. Car seats are big and bulky to
 RH> protect the kid.

 ML> I'm pretty sure changing tables weren't fashionable when I
 ML> was a baby or at an age to change babies (which happened on

I don't think my mom had one but I'm glad I did. I've changed a lot of
diapers with the baby on one.

 ML> the rare occasion, through no fault of my own). High chairs
 ML> I grant. The car seats that I am familiar with didn't seem
 ML> that heavy - bulky for sure, but lots of foam or somesuch
 ML> to help cushion impact without the risk of heavy hard stuff
 ML> becoming a projectile.

Heavy can be relative too--what's heavy for me may not be for you. And,
those seats can be heavy by the time you factor in the base and the
carrier together.

 RH> Clothes and things for a household do add up. Also, having the extra
 RH> money to buy a replacement sofa, chair, dinette, isn't always there so
 RH> you have to consider that.

 ML> The used market is a wondrous thing, and the army probably
 ML> recognizes that on some level.

To some extent, but not 100%. Some military thrift shops take furniture,
most don't so if you're not renting a furnished place, you have to go on
the economy to buy--and that can get costly.


 RH> Interesting--did they show you how to use the galley also? I've heard
 RH> sounds like the FAs are sliding metal racks into I presume some sort
 RH> of heating unit (when they used to serve meals).

 ML> She got galley training, but I did something else, maybe
 ML> visited the caterers or the tower.

Sounds interesting all around.


 ML> tried a Caribbean burger, which is specific to Thailand
 ML> and turns out to be a curried shrimp sandwich. I also
 RH> That sounds like it would have been good.
 ML> Probably, but I wasn't going for that.
 RH> But maybe you would have another time.

 ML> Maybe, if there weren't cheaper and more appealing choices,
 ML> such as fried crickets [g].

I'll go for the curried shrimp burger.

 RH> It's the American mentality that makes breakfast what it is, sad to
 RH> say.
 ML> What's with all the sugar is the only question I have.
 RH> Your guess is as good as mine.

 ML> Perhaps it's the domino effect. [g]

More likely a kick start to the morning--get you on a sugar high, time
it to crash before lunch where you load up on sugar/carbs again & then
crash by mid afternoon.
