How many crew members on VS21/22?

How many flight crew are aboard this flight? FAs and Pilots included?

(I checked another resource before I flew in March, but it said 8 or 9 and that was absolutely incorrect! I think it's 12, but I cant recall if that includes the pilots or not.)

Looking for some more of these...

I purchased 2 sets of these when I found them at my local Aldi back in February (I think?). I've been trying to find another 2 sets sever since.

​

I've reached out to corporate and was told that they were a "seasonal" item and there wasn't any way to track down any more.

​

So, I'm still looking for 2 sets. If you find them, or have them and are willing to part with them, please let me know. I'll happily pay, both for the items and for shipping.

What kind of cleanser do you recommend? (I'm not sure how to tag this as more than one tag applies!)

(EDIT: Corrected product name)

I'm 51F, peri-menopausal with PCOS, so what was every-other-day facial shaving is now daily. I prefer to do this when I cleanse my face in the morning, but I'm struggling with finding a good product to use for this. I have dehydrated/dry skin with rosacea and that has to factor into whatever I products I use.

I'm currently using The Ordinary products almost exclusively, but they don't have any kind of foaming cleanser that will work for dry skin. I've been using a product called Rice Water Bright (foaming facial cleanser) by The Face Shop but I can't remember where I bought it. I've also tried a CeraVe Cream to Foam cleanser for dry skin, but my skin wasn't really happy with that.

Note: I CAN use a shaving cream/foam and then wash my face afterward, but all of the shaving products for sensitive skin aren't meant to be used on your face, and all the facial shaving products have heavy fragrances which wreak havoc on my skin

So, what products do you recommend?

EYE MAKEUP (not shadow) - How do I layer this so it works correctly?

(EDITED to correct product name.)

I (52F) have insane dark circles under my eyes. I use color corrector for this. I also use a "brightening" eye cream (pink base) and under eye concealer.

How do I layer these for the most effectively for coverage and correction?

I've been putting the color corrector on in the hollows (inner corner) and under the outer corner where my circles are darkest, then (before blending) putting brightener under the center of the eye, then blending everything at once. After, I put on the concealer then finish with my foundation.

Process looks like this: Primer - color correcter & brightener - concealer - foundation - setting spray

Am I doing this right? Is there a better way?

Do you have a "Wear Chair"?

This is for clothes that have been worn but are not dirty, you anticipate wearing them again in the very near future. They're not dirty, but you don't want to fold them and put them back in drawers with freshly cleaned clothes.

My mom calls this my "wear chair."

"Nesting" threads when sewing on types or plastic bags

You may have seen the totes that are made from livestock feed bags.

My mom and I are trying to sew some, but the bobbin thread gets tangled and nested underneath as soon as we start stitching. We've tried adding a layer of paper above or below the "fabric," but it doesn't fix it.

What are we missing?

(Photo of the type of totes we are trying to make.)

Whole Foods (Fairfax, VA) Specialty bag - $9.99

Now this bag was definitely worth it!

Full of cheese! There is a block of cheddar, a wedge of gouda, a tub of fresh mozz balls, a tub of finely grated parm reg and a wedge of "Uplands" cheese (I can't really figure out what it is, but it's delicious!).

Definitely a good bag!

Whole Foods (Fairfax, VA) - Seafood bag - $9.99

I've never eaten smoked salmon, but I guess I'm going to try it!

But 3 packages of the same item? (The entire bag only weighed 12 oz total.)

Although the value is (technically) there, this one gets a thumbs down for variety.

Whole Foods (Fairfax, VA) - Produce bag -$9.99

I would have said this was a good bag except that every item was marked 50% off due to expiration dates. But, bigger issue, of the 4 tubs of fruit, 3 were already rotting/moldy.

The snap peas are delicious, though!

Dolan Uyghur restaurant - Chantilly, VA ($30 for $6.99)

I have driven past this restaurant so many times and kept saying "I gotta try that, it sounds so good!"

So, today I did! And I was right. It was delicious! Spicy and filling and so more-ish!

Pepper Steak and Kazandibi ~$30, paid $6.99

Cheap T-Shirts

My mom found a site for cheap tshirts and wants to purchase tees for a family event. I asked her to wait until I could check the site. It looks legit, but I may be missing something.

What do you say? Am I missing something?

I was afraid I had forgotten to fill this one out. Other people were posting their payments and I hadn't gotten anything, but it finally showed up!

Not a lot, but it will cover either gas or groceries for the next 2 weeks.
