      I did New York to Hong Kong in coach this year which was about 16 and a half hours… I was dreading it but traveling with friends makes a big difference and it wasn't so bad - your body just kind of adjusts.  Ambien is a good call.  A really good set of headphones will help too.  Also an eye mask and earplugs to sleep. By mid June this year I will have flown over 65,000 miles this year...

        Word of caution, Ambien has some very strange side effects depending on the person.

          Thanks everyone. Don't worry I won't be taking any prescription drugs. Especially, before a job.

            reasonable not to try any new med before a job, but if you're taking tylenol pm for sleep the tylenol is completely unnecessary just get some benadryl.

            aspirin and occasional walking is to prevent a blood clot, and seriously I would do that for such a long flight

              For 10 years of my life I was on at least 4 planes a week.  I now do about 12 long haul flights a year - I have one tomorrow to Japan.  My routine, good headphones, some reading just in case, a couple of drinks, the meal a movie or two depending on the length of the flight, ear phones in eye mask on, go to sleep.  My definition of a good long haul is that the stewardess has to wake me for landing.

              I do not work on the plane and I avoid conversation.  You do not want to fly with me, I am the worlds most boring companion on a plane.

                I'm basically the same minus the sleep. I'm usually head first in a movie or TV show the whole time and can't ever remember talking to the people I sit next to.

                Tomorrow, I have a 6hr flight to LA, 1hr30 layover, and then 15hrs to Sydney. On the way back next Saturday it's 19hrs straight  😢 😢 😢 :o

                And thanks again to everyone for the advice.

                    I am 100% convinced the sleep thing is psychosematic.  "I can't sleep on planes" becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.  I used to be like that, I trained myself into believing that I could - and guess what…..

                          I try to fly Virgin or Jet Blue in the states. That deletes the cart altogether, you just order off ur screen. As a funny side note, I have an old gift card that looks like a credit card. I bought it for my mom and it only had $50 on it. It is empty and doesnt work on land, but once your up in the air, everything is FREE!!!!  On a flight from Seattle to Reno last year, when I got on the plane, I said "if your going to Phish in Tahoe, I'll pay for your drink". Only 10 people took me up on it, but I "bought" 2 rounds. I've gotten ridiculous on Virgin many times. Buying the full menu and all the movies for free is fun. It also works on all airlines including Delta, American, Virgin, JetBlue and Alaskan Airlines.

                            Define good fit on jeans….

                            Do you mean they look overall good, or that they actually fit well on some-one.  (pls remember I'm not natve english speaker)

                              I would say that a "good fit" is subjective, and varies from person to person, jeans to jeans.

                              My Samurai's and my 634's fit me well, as in they fit my body as they are meant to, and in the right proportions.

                              My Busters I like to sag a little, as I think this is how they look and feel the best.

                              For examples of a bad fit, observe some of the "nut crushing" fits, which were popular on Superfuture a couple of years ago.

                                Both. If you're thin and wear jeans that are tremendously wide, even if they're nice jeans, not a good fit. If you're wearing jeans that are too tight, not a good fit. I think a lot of denim afficionados get hung up on the sizing down and stretching issue. If the button holes are straining, that doesn't look good to me either. Stretch marks are not good either. I think a pair looks best when it fits just right when they're new and slightly stretched after a few wears. If you're having so much trouble putting on a pair of jeans when they're new that you need assistance, not good.  The denim leggings look makes me laugh when I see it on the street

                                A pair of jeans only looks as good as the fit on the owner.

                                Just my two cents

                                  Hey probably so easy to figure out but I am having issues figuring out where on SUFU I can find items for sale.  Everytime i try it says my key words are under 4 characters..What am I doing wrong?  My words are def over 4 and i am typing obvious names like Redwing iron ranger or Iron Heart 301s.  I would ask over there but not really into chatting over there with 8 year kids

                                      Anyone with a folding calf wallet-which way do you put it in your pocket, the part that opens up facing up or down? I have it facing up but for some reason as I sit down it kind of shifts the two sides so they're not aligned when I take it out, very frustrating! Anyone have the same problem?
