Guest guest Posted March 24, 2000 Report Share Posted March 24, 2000 Leaner- I managed the GAP stores in my former life (before real estate) and I know to convert women's jeans sizes to men's you add 22 " to the number size. For example, a size 6 plus 22 " would give you a 28 inch waist in men's sizes. Hope this helps cyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My upper body day was on Friday, and thanks to a's suggestions, I was able to complete a workout in my hotel room (AND I'd only gotten 2 hours of sleep in 2 days AND traveled 12 hours (3 flight connections!). I'm still sore from the push-ups, however. My opinion about " fake " breakfast meats, and I've tried them all, is that the Morningstar Farms " fake " bacon is definitely the best of the bunch. And also the sausage patties and links. Other brands really don't match in taste. Also, if you are on a tight budget (as I am), you can visit their website (morningstarfarms.com) and request coupons. I'm into my 2nd week, and I only lost 1 lb. And a pair of jeans actually felt a little tight. Hmm... Is it ok to do some cardio on weight training days? Sometimes I'm not ready to leave the gym!

It's been very helpful to me to read all of your posts and words of encouragement. Thank you. Peace, Jami So, my questions are: is it ok to do cardio on weight training days? and is it ok to do abs more than on lower body days? and is it REALLY ok to eat whatever you want on the day off? Thanks. You guys are cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I am very surprised they would allow a stylus on the plane.

Assistive devices such as augmentative communication devices and Braille note takers will go through the same sort of security screening process as that used for personal computers. However, passengers that have special equipment that cannot go through the x-ray machine should notify the screeners and request a physical/visual inspection of the equipment. A slate and stylus are permitted on board the aircraft after inspection; however, it may be necessary to advise the security screener of the purpose of the slate and stylus and that it facilitates the passenger's communications. > > There you go!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 , Unless a blind person needed to communicate with the slate and stylus during flight, I would imagine it would stay in the checked baggage to avoid any undue hassles. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it. -- & Gimlet (Guide Dawggie) Portland, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rlclark77@... http://home.comcast.net/~rlclark77/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've flown several times with different chairs so I've taken different types of batteries and never had a problem. But I will say it is rare for them to store your chair in the cabin though I have had it done only once. Usually they will " gate check it " which means you can use it up to the door of the plane, then they take it to store and then bring it up to the door right away for you to use when exiting the aircraft. I was very interested in purchasing the at'm chair you mentioned for various reasons, but one being that I was hoping I could bring it on the plane as you are suggesting. It does look like it can be made small enough to store with you or possibly in the cabin, so you might have some luck there. Have you used this chair a lot? I was curious as to how durable it is. It is pretty sturdy for outdoor use? Thanks for any info you can share on the chair!

I was also wondering what people's experience with having their wheelchairs on board the plane? The person from the hotline told me that they'd most likely store it in the cabin but a friend of mine told me that that's rarely ever done.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've flown with Lead Acid batteries before and everything worked otu fine. They stored the wheelchair in the cargo hold and I'm not sure if they took the batteries out and stored them separately or not. Only once when I flew was I aware that my wheelchair was partially disassembled, which was probably just taking the batteries out. > > Hi everyone, > > I was wondering if anyone has flown with a 17AH sealed lead acid battery or > anything similar.

It is pretty sturdy for outdoor use? Thanks for any info you can share on the chair! I don't actually own one yet. I'm in the process of getting one but last weekend I was able to test it out for a couple days and I was happy with it. It handled well outside and indoors... it was extremely easy to take apart and put in the car. I mean, it's no substitute for a regular heavy duty chair but for something portable to use every now and then, it's great. When I saw the pictures, I thought it didn't look too stable or sturdy but I felt safe in it. For this trip, I'd be renting one since mine won't be here in time. My friends even really like it. I'd suggest trying to find one in your area to try out. It's worth seeing into. Thanks for your travel experience, Deena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I am assuming you are referring to liquid battery and not a dry cell. If liquid the only problem I can think of would be if they stored the chair on its side, which odds are would allow the acid to leak out. I am not very familiar with the battery boxes on e~wc but I would guess they arent sealed up good enough to hold an acid spill. I am sure these batteries are far better built than normal automotive or heavy equipment ones that I am used to dealing with, so the odds of a sideways spill is probally very unlikely. Its the only worse case senario I can think of. I am sure temperature change, shaking, vibration etc wouldnt hurt its functioning. If this was to happen you'd have to be prepared to be unable to use the chair untill it was professionally nuetralized and cleaned up. If you do ever see some leakage under normal situations they sell a spray cleaner for car batteries to nuetralize the acid and make for safe clean up with paper towels. It blows on red and turns orange when nuetral ( I might have that backwards though. Good luck on your trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Mine were always damaged too. Now I just bring " manuel " (yes i named it lol). I wish we could just drive our regular chairs and be strapped on the plane as someone suggested earler. We have to see family in France when we can, but flying is a major pain in the tush!!!
