Everybody is trying to save money these days with the economy like it is. I do that myself. For instance, I may delay a car repair or inspection for a couple of weeks. A person can do that if it's not absolutely necessary for the car to operate.
I got to thinking a few days ago about the Airline Industry and how they might do the same thing and then the "Miracle on the Hudson" happened. The pilot did a wonderful job of landing that plane. I think so. Don't you?
Anyway, nobody would know if the plane was overdo for an inspection or repair, except the airline, maybe the pilot, and the crew on a need to know basis. If you convey your concerns in that area, they will tell you to have faith in the skills of the pilot. They tell the pilots to have faith in their own flying ability and the integrity of the plane.
You know, for the most part, that the pilots and crew are honest people and if there is any concern at all, they would find a way to tell you, even if it was in a subtle way. So here are some examples of how they might do just that.
For instance, the stewaredess comes up to you and asks you, "Coffee, Tea, or Flowers."
Another way would be if the pilot comes on the loudspeaker and says, "We are on our final approach and we will be landing shortly. On this flight, it will be a little shorter than usual."
And just one more example, the pilot comes on the loudspeaker and says, "We will be experiencing some rough weather ahead. For your listening pleasure, I will now play a Christian song."
Being a Christian, you are expecting to hear "Blessed Assurance" but instead you hear "Nearer My God To Thee". Now, that would be a telltale, subtle way, wouldn't it?

We all know how bad the economy is theses days. I remember how bad it was in the early 80's. It was then that I learned how to stretch a dollar. I could stretch a dollar and make it go a long way. Now a days, however, you not only have to stretch a dollar, but you have to stretch it and tie a knot in the end. Then you can hang on to it better until you need to use it.

I can give you one piece of advice. Do not try to use it in a U-Scan with the knot in the end. IT JUST DOES NOT WORK! I decided to do something with the stretched dollar with a knot in the end....and YOU can do it too. I sent it to my representative in Congress with a note attached which read, "Will you help us NOW!"
