The airline industry used to be completely open about requiring flight attendants to match certain height and weight requirements.



I remember hearing that once upon a time that flight attendants were not allowed to be married.  Is this true?

I think I remember hearing that the first flight attendants had to be nurses, too.

The poor are poor, because some  purchase too many slave-made items, like Made-In-China or Japan-etc., crap, and so become slave as to be more poor !!

Wow -- that is very sad. Her dogs look well taken care of, but I wonder where they stay during the daytime when she is working. They can't stay in the car.

She could move to AR and be able to afford an apartment. But if she's lived in CA all her life, she may not want to move. It's probably hard to get an apartment that would allow 2 big dogs, too. No way I'd want to live somewhere without my dogs.

I know of a former policeman, who brings his dog, when he works, and he leaves it in his car !

He goes to check on it often !!

That is one way that persons become poor.

Some let in too many wealthy foreigners or others in the area, and therefore, one born there can not afford to live in it !!

Does anyone understand that ?

Au revoir,
hugs!

Unfortunately more and more it seems: People don't care anymore if persons are poor and poorer, via no fault of their own, some or most of them being really poor !

The wealthy forget that they can become too poor too ! But no such bell in most of them too weathly to care ?

Take this new report, that doctors should not give an x-ray to men 75 or more yrs old; the next time they will write 50 years old; the time after that 25 ?

And figure out that x-rays will be only for criminals ?

Can that become so ?

No one seem to care about the poor ?

How much money did so far millionnaire Barack Obama give to the poor ?

Did Barack Obama make millions from his book ?

Another question that could be asked is, how many houses and vehicles do the McCains own?


Both Obama and McCain are wealthy people.  But, McCain is far more wealthy.

According to the American Tragedy thread, apparently the poor are poor because they elect Democratic mayors.  ???
