Not sure Annie. But then my friend had her Blistex thrown out in Louisville, and I don't consider that a liquid or gel, so maybe if there is room in the bag put it in there just to be sure. Or call the airport you are flying out of. Some airports toss what they think are questionable items not in a bag even if you have room in the bag, some will let you put in a bag before going through, some will GIVE you a bag.

Tidetogo would be ziploc bag. Lipstick and mascara are ziploc bag. And I would not take scissors or any type of blade at all. I have had some ridiculous things taken from me, teeny cuticle nippers! Just ridiculous. Sometimes I think certain airports have quotas for their checkers, and they have to find a certain number of items, so they resort to confiscating ridiculous things.

Maybe I'm not reading the guidlines thoroughly enough, but how does putting a toiletry item (or whatever) in a ziplock suddenly make it a safe item? Especially if you just turn around and put it in your purse after you go through security?

who, it has to do with compliance and size. if it can only fit in that size, it's not enough c4 to blow up a 747!

Thanks Twinkie, Texannie, serate, and Juju. Hi Who and landileigh! Oh, I didn't know the lipstick would have to be in that bag. Okay, no scissors and no tweezers. I found a teeny tiny 1 oz. lotion bottle from a hotel and emptied it to refill with my psoriasis moisturizing medicine lotion, because it only comes in a 4 oz. size and is too big to go in its own tube. Do you think they'll throw it out? Looks like a trip to the drug store will be one of the things I'll have to do when I get there. One thing we are going to do is see a taping of the Price Is Right! LOL

Tweezers might be okay. Good grief, I never even gave those a second thought. Hahahaha, but then, they did catch me on the cuticle nippers. As long as your psoriasis lotion is in a 3 oz. or smaller container, AND it is in the Ziploc bag, they won't throw it out. You are supposed to take the Ziploc bag OUT of your carry-on, and put it in a bin where it can be seen as it goes through x-ray. Then when you get through security, you can re-arrange everything as you see fit, put the lipstick in your purse, etc. Grace, I use non-aerosol hairspray, and I go to the travel size section of Walmart and buy a small (maybe 1.5 oz.?) spray bottle and put enough hairspray for a short trip in there. Then put that in the Ziploc bag. Travel-size section also has LOTS of small stuff if you want to buy your things there beforehand rather than going to a drugstore after you get there AND then having the same problem with transporting the stuff on the way home.

okay, so yesterday i put in the right now thread about how some jealous girl was starting drama with me (well at least trying to start). i am wondering now - because it is still continuing - if i should say something to her or if i just should continue to ignore it and hope she finds another person that she can start drama with?

Think I'll head to Target to get the travel hairspray and some luggage locks. I checked to see what kind was acceptable, and Target has them.

Grace, wait! Just get a dollar bag of electrical ties and use those. Carry a nail clipper in your purse so you can remove them when you get to your destination (uhhhhh ... make sure it doesn't have a pointed nail file attached to it, or they will break that part off in Hong Kong) It is VERY rare that TSA will need to open your bag, and if they do, they can just cut the electric tie. In fact, if you are only taking carry-on, you don't need a lock at all, unless you want to lock it in the hotel or something.

Texannie, there is a max of ONE ziplock bag quart size! On the airline I am traveling on, the maximum is 3.4 oz per item and all the items must fit comfortably inside the zipped bag. I've managed to cut my items down to 1 travel size toothpaste, 1 tr sz mouthwash, 1 tiny tube mary kay night emolient, 1 tiny bottle of psoriasis moisturizer, 1 Tide to Go, 1 lipstick, 1 hand sanitizer spray, two single use mary kay moisturizer packets, 1 travel hairspray, and 1 deodorant. The hotel better have some good shampoo and conditioner!

that TSA quart bag is nothing, try getting on a plane with an insulin pump, it's supplies, an insulin cooler, and a CPAP machine!

I never have any trouble with my CPAP, they just have to look it over and it has always gone quickly. I am, however, about done flying. It has just become too dang annoying. I also resent being nickle and dimed to death. We don't vacation fly nearly as often anymore. I think we only flew for a vacation once last year. And I am especially irritated at getting crappy treatment in 1st class. We pay extra to fly that way for a few conveniences and because the bigger seats fit our bigger bottoms better.

Curling iron is fine. Texannie, only ONE quart size bag of "liquids" (like lipstick and mascara) for all your carry-on, and you have to pull it out and put it in a bin where they can see it when you go through security. Try to check a bag and put most of the stuff in there. Prescription meds don't have to be in the ziploc bag unless they are liquids, and even then, there might be an exception for those. If you are close to having a full ziploc and have liquid meds, put them separate but show them to TSA. Otherwise, if in doubt and you have room, put them in the ziploc.

Was the name of the ship used on The Love Boat, the Pacific Princess? If not, what was the name of it? And is that same ship still used today or is it long gone or renovated or???

Oh, perfect! Thanks! Looks like they used two Princess Cruise ships. The Island Princess and The Pacific Princess. They were identical ships.

Question: Occasionally I see people wearing a purse/shoulder bag that goes comfortably across the body like a sling. It's kind of like an ergonimically designed purse, rather than a backpack (as the bag is at the front). Does anyone know if such bags have a special name? I'm trying to buy one and am not having much luck searching. Thanks.

Yes! Just like that! Excellent! And I typed that bag name into Amazon and now I'm getting similar ones to compare it to! Thank you, thank you!
