Southwest says "maximum size is 62 inches (length + width + height)". This is different then what I was taught(I was told to multiply to I am unsure)
I know TSA is hand swabbing now(I am not to happy with the idea). What are they testing for? I was spray tanned for a pageant back on the 4th and I am still flaking off on both my arms and some of my legs Will this or any hand lotion set it off? I use Bath & Body Works(Either Mandarin Orange, Eucalyptus Spearmint, or Sweat Pea will be used that day). What about Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion? What if I smell like my guinea pig(I certainly hope I don't!)?
What is the best way to NOT tick off TSO's. The one's at my local airport can be really rude and mean. No matter how nice I act(Greet with a smile, say good morning, have a nice day ETC). I have Bi-Polar disorder and it really dosen't take much to tick me off. Even though I am medicated and in therapy. Only my mom really knows how to best deal with me when I have a "Fit" (She'll be traveling too).
Question #2:
Imagine this: You are a civilian ( I spent time in the Army 18 years ago, I'm a civilian now) and you want a "bug out" kit in case of a disaster, maybe a nuclear attack? What would you want and how would you carry it?
My plan is to assemble mine in a Lawn and Garden utility cart, like the ones sold at Lowe's/Home Depot. Its like a big sturdier version of the Red Wagons we had as kids.
Inside the wagon I want a duffel with extra clothes, a small bag with toiletries (soap, TP, tooth paste,
wash clothes, etc.). I want a roll of rope, and 2 tools; bolt cutters and a framing hammer.
I want a canteen, and a frying pan and dutch oven (both cast iron of course). I want rubber boots, a rain coat, and a blue plastic tarp. A military cot, blankets, sheets and a pillow.
Food items: A few can of stew, beans, bottled water.
I intend to have 2 weapons. I'm leaning towards a 12 ga. Remington Riot/Police type shotgun with a folding stock because it can be concealed under a blanket in the cart and it gives alot of versatility for purely defensive purposes and 12 ga. shot shells are common. Also, I intend to purchase a
glock 26 pistol in 9mm. It will conceal in my pocket as it is a sub-compact and 9mm is common
ammo. Also a ka-bar knife, pistol belt, and either a swiss army knife or a leather man multi tool.
My 2nd choice besides the shotgun would be a Bushmaster semi-auto only "M4 Style" carbine.
One or the other. I intend to have a zippo,extra flints, and fluid for fire starting?
So, any suggestion? Shotgun vs. AR15??? I'm am actually preparing for a nuclear war. : )
I expect to have to walk and pull the cat because EMP causes car not to run. Thanks.
My back was cracked up in a car wreck in '96. The clsest 2 nuclear targets are bothe well over 10miles away East and West of here so I don't expect to leave town. Fall out will go into the Gulf blown south by the prevailing winds. I expect to move only a mile or 2 to a low key hideaway.
There is a 1969 2 1/2 ton diesel parked a mile from here : ) It'll still run after EMP I think. My main concern is just the first week. Other tools, guns, implements etc. can be scrounged
One of my first orders of business right off the bat is to drive 25-30 feet of 1.25"
pipe into the ground and attach a hand pump for water. the second water table at 25-30 ft is good here. My initial retreat
is less than a mile away. So weight in the cart ain't that big a deal, if I can pull it.
Concealibility of weapons is paramount because rogues may shoot anyone who is armed but not with them.
Liquid Iodine may work in lieu of the pills
but must be taken with 30 mins of exposure.

Question #6:
Ok i revised my intro and couple paragraphs of my first chapter since the last time I posted it. Do you think its good? Is it a story worth reading and if you had to rate it from 1-10 what would you give it?
Introduction
A phone rang in the distance. Its continuous rings were enough to annoy the crap out of me. I impatiently got up from my leather upholstered chair, and silently walked across the marbled floor of the manor in which I was unwillingly being held. The phone’s handle was ice cold and was equipped with many buttons that I did not know the use for. As I picked up the phone the ringing stopped and all was quite. I could here rats scampering across the floor as the echo of their feet rebounded off the walls.
I cautiously looked around as I heard the noise of oncoming footsteps. “Annette! You are needed in your father’s study!” said a man whose voice I could not place. “Great.” I said to myself. “Can’t wait to see what kind of trouble I get into for leaving that stupid execution asylum.” I suddenly became confused, for I had forgotten how I had ended up back at this house. “Did Nai bring me back here? Or did some stranger realize who I was, and decide to take me home? Huh, I usually don’t forget things like that. It’s probably just the short term memory loss kicking in.” I hurriedly ran up the spiraling staircase, and followed the ornate rug to my fathers study. I passed through the rickety mahogany door, and entered the grandest room that the house contained.
The walls were rich with history, and were the color of creamy caramel. Books of every country, and their history lined the shelves, along with century old gadgets and modern day technology. The crimson carpet lay underneath a desk piled high with papers, documents, and fragments of rotting food. Residing behind all the mess was a middle aged man with a receding hairline, and weary brown eyes. He had a stout figure accompanied with a deep chilling voice. This was the man who I called “father”.
I despised this man more than death itself; He was an arrogant, greedy fool that would do anything for money, no matter the consequences; I should know, because I was right in the middle of one of his mind numbing schemes.
chapter 1 Where am I?
Dusk was slowly turning into a pitch black cover of stars. We were whipping across the highway at a hundred and twenty mph in my fathers black Mercedes; motion sickness was just about to occur when the driver stomped on the brakes. The cars doors were thrown open, and I was pulled out of the car by my father’s two thugs, Martine and Al. The fresh air felt great against my parched skin, but was quickly ruined as they crammed me into an over sized duffel bag. With no time for looking at my surroundings I was unable to tell where I was, or where I was being taken to.
After an eternity of waiting, the bag was savagely unzipped. I was overwhelmed by a room of the greatest sin. It was filled with countless torture devices and weapons galore. An electric chair sat in the corner waiting for its next victim. AK 47’s hung among the walls, with extra magazines and ammo on the counter below. Tongue tearer’s and thumbscrewer’s littered the shelves, and sat waiting, daring me to touch them. There were dozens among dozens of murderous torture devices, but the one that really made me take a whiz in my pants was, the cranium crusher. My pupil’s dilated and a warm stream of fluid began trickling down my leg. My knees collided together, my body fell to the ground, and I was limp for the moment being. “Get up, it’s time to go!” said Martine. My breath came out in ragged rasps as I tried to gather enough courage to actually sit up. An uncontrollable sense of pain issued itself on the side of my right thigh. My mouth opened, and the room was filled with a shrill blood curdling shriek.
“Get the frock up! Stay down though if you want to be a cripple all your life. Now get up you little shig!” Martine shouted. I whimpered in pain and reluctantly got up, cringing at the twinge in my right leg. Al grabbed my hair and gave it a yank to make sure I followed him. The two horrid men led me to a desolate hall, lit only by a flickering light. They slammed me into a wall, and let out boisterous cackles. My left side throbbed, but I kept in my scream, to let them know that I meant business, and wasn’t going to give up at the first sign of bullying.
The end of the hall was illuminated by a ghostly pale door. Al opened the door with his free hand and threw me to the ground. He then picked me up and gingerly sat me down onto a metal chair. “See I can be a gentleman,” he said. His breath smelled of stale tobacco and a hint of human flesh, but I could have been wrong about that. Al and Martine left the room. “Tootles,” Martine said as he exited through the door.
I felt like a delinquent in an asylum chamber. The walls, floor and ceiling were all white. There were no windows, and no liv
Question #7:

Start singing the Shari Lewis theme, "This is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because, this is the song that never ends...."

Question #9:
Since police now do random subway searches more often on transit subways, I take part in martial arts competitions and I carry weapons in duffel bags on me to the competitions.
All blades are enclosed in leather cases and are not open and I carry sticks for demonstration purposes.
Would I get into trouble if police were to find these on me? Does anyone know the law about this sort of thing?
Question #10:
Brian used to have this gym bag that he would use. I'm not sure what it's called, but maybe a doctors bag. It was made of black leather, and was about the size of a duffel bag. It had these beautiful curved black leather handles. Please help me, I need to know where I can find one like it! Thanks!
Question #11:
Hi, I was wondering what those really big bags are called. I know there are some called totes, handbags, shoulder bags, and duffel bags.
I need a really big one for school, preferbly brand named, such as Puma, Lululemon, Aritzia, and more. I think I would prefer leather, or something that wont fall apart. And can fit all my things (i'm going into grade seven)
It can be a variaty of colors and it has to be at least 14 inches long and 8 inches wide. I want it to be kind-off girly/preppy.
Any websites would be appriciated. Or can I get one like that in Calgary? Any stores? By the way I know what ebay is and if you find any on there, that would be fine too.
Thank you!!
Question #12:
I bought a white canvas-like toe bag from Target back in April (or May, I forget). It has gray faux leather handles and trim. The only tag I can find says, "Made in China."
I have another bag which is a red Speedo duffel bag. I spilled my shampoo inside of it.
Do you think any of these bags are machine washable? If not, how can I wash/clean them?
Thank you.
Whoops, I meant tote bag, not a toe bag. :)
Question #13:
Like a duffel bag or a suitcase? Kind of like how Urban Outfitters had like a black patent leather one, or a quilted one, not a kid one with characters lol. Something/Places under about $50 would be nice. Thanks!
Question #14:
I've found pretty expensive ones, such as this one:

But I'd really like to find one that's fake, nice looking, and preferably under $60. Thanks if anyone can help.
