Need an unbiased take on whether ITA for correcting my spouse at times when she’s telling a story. I’ll elaborate. When telling stories (say at the dinner table with friends, or whatever), my wife frequently messes up key words that dramatically change the story and could confuse people (who would generally be too polite to say anything and would just remain confused). So I’ll sometimes jump in and correct that key point for clarity and turn it back to her to continue the story.

Examples: she tells a story about growing up in the Catholic Church and pushing back on the patriarchy. She refers to the Monsignor as the “Monsieur” (French for Mister). Or, recently there was a news story involving some people who did something in the US that came from Tijuana. She referred to them as coming from Taiwan. In both of those instances, I jumped in and corrected her to help the people listening follow the story better. So, AITA for doing this or should I just let if flow and hope people can figure it out themselves?

I could probably look this up on the app but it’s fairly dense and I don’t have the bandwidth. I’m about 50K miles shy of being a 2MM flier. Does anyone know offhand if I get credit for miles flown if I’m flying on points? I understand I won’t get PQP and all that, which is fine. Just want the “butt in miles” credit so I can cross that magical 2MM barrier and get treated like the emperor I deserve to be!
Edit: Thank you to those who are in the know and answered my question, even though I dislike the answer! It will take a while to pay for flights equaling 50K miles when I have nearly a million miles in my account. The incremental difference between lifetime Gold and lifetime Platinum doesn’t see like much. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze, as far as I can see.

Maybe I’m missing something, so I’ll ask here. I have a buddy who is very particular about his egg cooking. My wife and I visit he and his wife often, and he enjoys cooking breakfast. I’m a guest, so I’ll eat whatever is served, so this isn’t a preference question. But, if he makes scrambled eggs, he’ll only attempt it if we have like 40 minutes to spare. He literally takes nearly that amount of time to make scrambled eggs. Insists it’s the only way. And if it’s fried eggs, it has to be sunny side up. Which takes a lot longer than over easy. I think he read somewhere that those are the proper ways to make eggs, and that is that. I’m sitting there thinking, if I were cooking, we’d be eating in 5 minutes, not a half hour! And my over easy eggs have fully cooked whites, and super runny yolks (the way I like it). Sunnyside up has half the yolk hard and fully cooked by the time the whites are cooked. Make it make sense!

Edit: I should have been clearer. He doesn’t literally take 40 minutes to cook scrambled eggs, but we need 40 minutes of time to cook and eat them. But he takes a loooong time, needless to say.

Currently flying MXP>EWR. Fortunately got upgraded to Premium Economy at the last minute 😅
But, the overhead situation is ass! Carryons barely fit, and only fit sideways. Essentially one bag per overhead space, along with a backpack. Ridiculous. The planes that go from Denver to Vail have more and better space. Make it make sense!
