Boredom on long flights

Is there anyone else here that gets bad motion sickness?

ME!!!!!

I usually take bonine before flying or going on a cruise and so far so good.

I REALLY hope I don't get stuck with a middle seat between two smelly people. That's one of my biggest fears. I'd rather have an aisle seat or a window. Unfortunately I can't choose until 23 hours before my flight.

I always take dramamine before a flight but it doesnt help me sleep and I still can't read. I went on a cruise last May and I had a form of Vertigo for 3 weeks after the cruise! I prefer a Window seat because I don't get up alot during the flight and somehow always get stuck next to a person with a small bladder.

I like the suggestion about the "easy to read" magazines . . . something mindless to use up some time and be entertained.

I guess I'm an odd duck. My airplane ritual always includes getting a copy of the economist

when your eyes are dried up and red from the lack of mositure in the cabin and you been humming along for 8 hours..how do you stay focused on the Economist??????

I like to take a good book to read. If I get bored with that I try to find a cute flight attendant to have sex with.

Star magazine has the best crossword puzzles!

I like those word puzzles where you find the word and circle it. I dunno what you call it but I actually found a site where you just input the words you want included in the puzzle and it makes it. I used to use it to keep the girls busy all the time using themes like Haloween, food, Thanksgiving, etc.

Maybe I'll do one for me for Egypt!

So lemme ask ya..since you read the junk stuff that I glance at while I'm waiting in line at the checkout:

1) Is Farrah Faucet really dying of cancer?

2) Is Pres Bush really getting a divorce?

3) Is Tom and whatshername really splitting up and was their baby an alien?

Britney Spears has (FINALLY!) filed for divorce.

Im a craft nut so I brought my knitting project along. I checked out the security do's and don'ts ahead of time and knitting needles are on the okay list. If you're wanting to knit and dont want to fuss with the needles, try the Knifty (nifty?sp?) Knitter by ProvoCraft. Ive got 5 of their looms and I looooooove them. You can be the most inept person on the planet and still make some badass knitted stuff. By the time I got to Morocco I had made a hat and scarf for Ahmed.

As many others have pointed out, word puzzles are good. My faves are Logic Problems. Get some good tabloids and one of those big fat thick bridal magazines (unless your a guy, I guess). Even if you're already married, those bridal magazines are so much fun.

If you're lucky, your plane will have those little monitors in the back of the headrest (Air France has good ones) to keep you occupied with movies, games, music, etc.

And as everyone else has metioned, sleep. Benadryl, Vicodin, Phenergan, NyQuil, Tylenol PM, etc. Just dont take 'em all at once.

British Air has those tv's in the back of the seats and offers tons of movies.

I don't plan on watching them though since I"m downing an Ativan before getting on board so that I'm not a total freaked out nutcase focusing on the fact that this large metal thing that weighs tons is able to stay in the air over a HUGE body of water where no one will be able to find us for months on end if we crash.

Thanks Doodle..Just what I wanted to read mere days before MY flight I had just convinced myself all would be ok...now you owe me some fast paced therapy!!!

Okay maybe this will make both of you feel better...you are more likely to have a serious accident in your bathroom than on an airplane....feel better?

Ginger is really good for motion sickness. Buy some ginger snap cookies (read the ingredient list to make sure it has ginger and not flavors- If you can get imported ones from Scandinavia those are really good) or candied ginger (from Whole Food). It really works.

I'm having a hard time with this. I think I need examples.
