@@clarebear3621 if this is how you meant it, Exodus 20:7 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.” Hey man I just wanted to let you know, It’s not right to use God’s Name in vain. He tells us that in the Bible. The Holy Trinity is God alone. There never has and never will be another god. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are God. Not three gods but 3 Divine Persons in One God. God bless, pray for everyone to come to Jesus and His Church and be Baptized. It is Jesus’ Church that He literally founded. It’s His Mystical Body. John 6:53-59 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 53 "The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. 55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. 56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. 57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. 58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. 59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever." 1 Corinthians 11:27 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 27 "Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord." Romans 10:9-10 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 9 "For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." John 14:6 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 6 “Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.“ In the Mass, which is the Catholic version of church service, the bread and wine literally become His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity! God bless you! Maybe this could help! The Mass and the Eucharist and the Sacraments really do help and work. I pray you will come to Jesus and His Church! Here’s a video taking about 3 times it was scientifically proven that the Eucharist is actually Jesus Present kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5mTpLVe092taKc.html here’s one about why you should be Catholic and not just Christian kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLBzlaakkt-Vj58.html and here’s one that explains why Protestant doctrine is un Biblical kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7N5l7mf2bHWaJc.html And a prayer for the conversion of unbelievers kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8yTm8id15qXpHU.html God bless!

Hey guys! We have used United a couple of times but living near La Guardia we always try to fly with them plus we love the airline. We travel differently so there are things that would make me travel with united if we were traveling like you. As you know we always check in. I have anxieties so I have to pick my seat and it has to be as close to an exit as possible and to the front, so all that carries more expenses. Hope you get to travel with United to other international destinations so you can share your thoughts as well then. We will be waiting for your reviews

Totally makes sense. And when traveling internationally we've always found other airlines to have more inexpensive prices than United.

LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile... These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon. Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees. Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers. Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape. You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle. Learn Half Windsor knot tying: It is the 2nd example in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpapm5ijsKidnHk.html This knot does not loosen. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie. Example: “Owner 454-333-7878” No personal name necessary. No address necessary on the ribbon. Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color. Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece. Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case. If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible. Pleasant color combinations: Red, white and blue Chartreuse and purple and orange Orange and light blue Orange and yellow Gray and pink Green and yellow Red and Green Red and Gold Light blue and light green and white The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights. Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape... To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape. Tip #4 Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show. Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS 4 ribbons 1 designer ribbon colored taped handle stencil spray paint a 2” stencil letter or number or word to the suit case surface in addition to using all the ideas here. Stencil spray paint a letter to the top ribbon. Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”. Put a travel sticker on the case. Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN Scales may vary at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE It is less than $15. ....

I don't remember us saying they have delays but It really just depends on the weather where you're departing and where you're arriving. Outside of that it's pretty rare. With that in mind the delays (and their duration) are again dependent on the weather mostly. Leaving from LAX I'm sure you'll be in the clear. I can only think of a couple of times we've been delayed and it was during a downpour, 9.5/10 it's smooth sailing.

This is a popular question. 1. Flights bought together are often sat together, but with that said, if it's a very full flight, this may be unavoidable. Some airlines have recently said they will promise to keep all families together but we're not sure this is one. 2. Your kid's bag just needs to be the appropriate required measurements and they should be fine to put it underneath their seat.

Is this a 4 out of 5? I haven't flown United yet. I have to say Delta is my overall favorite airline. I think they get a 5 out of 5 in almost every area of service. Jet Blue would be my second fav because of the super wide leg room (I always get Blue, not Blue Basic). For the worst I've ever taken, goes to Virgin Airlines. It's horrible, horribly cramped. American Airlines felt the same way. I've luckily never flown Spirit tho, and never will lol

Yup out of 5. Blue and Blue Basic have the same seating. You just have less privileges like not choosing your seat. In a video we just filmed to review JetBlue, we realized the width of the seats may be slightly cramped but your legs do have room. We like JetBlue too.

Okay so I watched this before take off when my kiddo and I went to Arkansas, we flew Economy Plus (Economy), and Basic Economy. I'm 6'1" 365lbs, with being about 60% leg. Flying down was nice, it was not so much of a pain either way. Snug but not uncomfortable in Economy Plus/Economy. Except on the Embrar (however its spelled aka the puddle jumper of doom), and the leg room sucked. The 737 for Economy Plus was great on the leg room. Now coming back, oh eff all that noise. No legroom on either of the planes (we got rescheduled onto a different plane and got refunded for paying for that extra happiness of Economy Plus), at one point I actually had to ask the person in front of me to not lean back. She got huffy, so when I stood up to stretch, she completely understood and apologized. So lesson here - get the Plus. Because you get to board earlier, you have some extra legroom. Basic Economy is a nightmare through and through, and I will be buying Economy Plus from now on. Do NOT be afraid to ask for a seatbelt extender. They won't guilt trip you about it. Hell I had one handed to me before I even got to our seats which was neat. But that Embrar, for the love of goddess, catch the bulk head if you can, or pray that you don't have someone inconsiderate in front of you.

United gets a bad wrap in reviews for reasons I have no idea why-- I've flown on Alaska recently and it was truly awful yet it's rated highly. United flights are basic flights but at least they offer basic amenities and flights everywhere. Alaska no wifi in economy and no tv screen and no food on a 7 hour flight? Garbage. United on the other hand offers all of that. Alaska also was late. United is an unfairly bashed airline that actually does a good job and offers affordable flights anywhere.

United Business lounge at SFO is a joke. Nothing changed…UA is horrible. The staff seems not to care…Look at other Airlines, like Turkish Air, Lufthansa or Quatar. They are worlds better.
