  V, Love your comments videos. Keep them coming! I hope they will opne more eyes to the real truth. As the may 2008 video stated, the truth is the truth, truth doesn't change, so how can the JW's claim they have the truth when they have made so many changes? Loved that!

  Thank you, cawshun

  I would love to learn ball room dancing and have a partner that loved dancing as much as I do. I married a sports fanatic, but a really nice guy!

  I was a smoker since I was 16, I'm 60. My 82 year old mother smoked since she was 16 and quit 16 months ago using Chantix. I'm more amazed at her, she was a heavy smoker. I've been off the same amount of time. I stayed on it for 2 months, my mom stayed on it for 4 months. Some of my friends stayed on it for just the one perscription.

  The perscription is dosed out for you on a card. The first week you take one pill a day, next week you take one in the A.M. and one in the P.M. the second card I think the dose might increase. You can google it and read about it.

  I have tired quiting so many times, each time with difficulty. I was really amazed how well the Chantix worked, the easiest time I ever had quiting. My mother too, thought it was easy, as she also tired many times before.

  If you get a perscription for a month, and feel your not strong enough that you might fail, go for another perscripton.

  Chantix blocks the nicotine from getting to the brain so you don't get the high. I don't know how it works, but I just didn't think about the cigs every minute like I did other times I tried quiting. I especially like that it seemed to help to surpress my appetite. My mother said it also had that afftect on her.

  Any one trying to quit, I highly suggest trying Chantix. Here in Texas, it cost about $112.00 for a month. Sounds high but cigs here are getting close to $45.00 a carton, so what you save on cigs will pay for the perscription.

  Again, good luck!

  i'm sorry to aggrivate you about my life choices all of the time.

  you guys just always give the best advice.

  you understand and don't look down on me for being a little behind in my career due to being a jw until i was 23.. so i'm like the rest of you with a high school diploma only because of that stupid religion.

  I forgot to mention, my husband wasn't to thrilled about it either, but I explained to him that it was a career I would enjoy and it works for men who do a lot of traveling in their jobs and the wives put up with them being gone, so why can't a woman have a job that may take her away from home for a couple of days? I even found married women with kids being flight attendants. The nice part of it is you don't have to be gone for a whole week at a time. My husband ended up being very supportive but I realized the time I would spend going to and from the air-port was time spent on the on road where I wasn't being paid. Your fortunate living close to the air-port, thats a big part of being able to do it and still make it home at the end of your shift.

  Their schooling is a real cram course and a lot are sent home the first week if they can't make it. The biggest thing they stress in the school is SAFTEY you have to get 100% on the saftey test, I think its on paper as well as going thru it on the plane. A lot of flight attendants are older now and a lot are guy attendants.

  If your husband likes to travel, he will also like some of the free trips he will get to take with you. I researched all I could on it before I even approached my husband about it so I had all the questions he would pose, ready with an answer. Take some time to research it and then approach him about it.

  I hope this helps you

  The most you have to be away from home is maybe 3 nights. You work something like 3 on and 4 off then I think its might be 4 on and 3 off. Living close to an air-port makes it even easier. Not all trips are over night, some go by legs. for instance you may be on a leg that goes from California to New York. Or Dallas to Chicago. They would be round trips. When you finish your leg your off. Some times your on call, and living so close to an air port makes that really easy.

  I had to watch the big news papers like Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and look in the classifieds for when they would be holding job interviews. You will also need a resume.

  At first I just went to the air port and talked with flight attendants and got a lot of information from them. They were very helpful. I think when you find their add in the paper they give you a phone # to call for the interview. Gosh, it was so long ago, I can't believe how much I have forgotten. If not a flight attendant, you could also look into working as a Reservationist with an air-line. I think they too get quite a few perks as far as free travel goes.

  I hope this has been helpful. I really would have liked it, but I just lived to far from the air-port.

  May I suggest if you need help quiting smoking try Chantix. I used it and it really works. You don't even think of cig's. Even if you have a cig while on it, they don't taste good. It's expensive but if you can stay on it for 3 to 4 months, you should kick the habit. I have tried the welbutrin with the nicotine patch, no luck. The Chantix is great. They are talking about people getting sucidal on it, I have to disagree, I didn't even get bitchy and it also seemed to curb my appetite. It's really worth a try. I know of 6 people that quit using it and did it fairly easy. Good Luck.

  Hi, I looked into being a flight attendant 10 yrs. ago. I lived 2 hours from the air port and didn't know about the commute. I called some air lines and asked when they would be doing interviews. Went on a couple. They were fun and met some cool people at the interviews.

  They were mainly interested in FLEXIBILITY, SAFTEY and alble to speak another language, Spanish or whatever. Those that could had a better chance at the world travel flights. I know one girl that learned just enough Spanish to get through the interview.

  If you get selected, the air-line pays for your schooling about 6wks. if I remember right. I believe the starting pay was $20.00 an hour. plus all the perks of travel, great hotel rooms, free trips.

  If you don't live near an air-port, you can still do it. You work 3 days on 4 off, you sublet an apartment near the air-port with other flight attendants on the day's you work. Sometimes, they are all off traveling so you may have the apartment to yourself. Everyone splits the rent.

  I decided not to do it, the commute just wasn't for me. Two of the girls I met on interviews got the jobs, one with United and the other with South West. They loved it.

  The interviews are not one on one unless you get called back after the first. At the first, all interviewers meet in a big room at a hotel. Everyone sits in circle, you stand up and tell a little about yourself, answer some on the spot questions about being a flight attendant ( why would you want this job)?

  Just something you might like to think about since you like travel.
