Detoxing on a Plane Finally Paid Off!

[zenpunk]

I thought I'd be better by today with the xanax/hydro my miracle method. Well, obviously I wasn't and I knew damn well I was in rough shape boarding that plane to Denver. And I'm in row frigging 36 in the middle seat of course.

All was well until I got up to go to the can. I get out just as the hostess is STARTING the drinks service. I beg her to let me though. And, even though she hasn't served one fucking drink yet she doesn't. She goes on to work her way down the plane.

So I'm feeling dizzy as hell, ready to faint, and there's some turbulence too, so I sit in the jump seat. Mind you, this bitch can't move her cart to let me pass, but she damn well can walk all the way back to the front of the plane to tell me I can't sit in the jump seat no matter how sick I feel.

So I ask for the flight purser and nearly in tears tell her what's going on. She got me seated and took my boarding pass from me. Then I think she looked up my name and realized that I fly nearly 200,000 miles per year.

She came back 10 minutes later with a gift wrapped bottle of wine with cloth napkins and a voucher for a free ticket anywhere in the continental 48!

Well the wine was top shelf and is helping somewhat as I toss and turn here in bed. Too bad the ticket wasn't for Amsterdam.

[pharmboy]

Wow I almost got wiplash from the change in attitude. If it wouldnt uncloak you,
what do you do to fly that much?
Hang in there. Have you ever tried Clonidine for WD? It helped me.

Well hell yeah!!!!!! Not a bad parting gift....

Thats alot of damn miles per year to be flying I might add.

[zenpunk]

I've never heard of Clonidine, pardon my ignorance, but what is it and how does it work?

I install control systems for a living....can't get more detailed than that.

[pharmboy]

Cool ! Before I went on SSD I installed building control systems,
chillers, Hvac, access control, Etc. Its a small world.

Clonidine is a blood pressure medication but it has the side
effect of depressing the locus ceruleus in the brain there by
reducing anxiety and generally calming you down. They give
it to kids with ADHD at night so they can get to sleep after
amphetimines all day. It also helps the WDs alot.

[slugbone]

that's a lotta miles zen. do you get to use those fancy platinum lounge places in the airport?

[NastyZilla]

I've had similar things happen, and don't it feel cool as shit to basically be treated like royalty... and see the person that pissed on you get the boot? Remember... those attendants' pay grades are based in part on the number of complaints/compliments they receive... when you feel better, consider calling the airline to (1) bitch about the bitch, and (2) compliment the purser. Glad they finally treated ya right!

Oh, and I am Sooooo sorry about the hell you're going through... sounds like my worst nightmare.

[Get-High]

God I hate to do say this, I feel like a Millwaukee's Beast Beer Bonging, Whippit sucking, Tuesday Nickel Beer drinking, sloppy sex with a slightly thick sorostitute banging state college sophomore but... this begs the question...

"What's worse: Snakes on a plane or WD's on plane?"
:)

[flipside]

^^ LOL Zen, glad you made it though the flight. Hang in there girl.

Save up some of those frequent flyer miles for that trip to Amsterdam

[nick]

I've been "sick" on a plane(shudder) and I know just how much it sucks......A LOT.

Glad you made it back to terra firma.

Once, was sick down on border, but knew where to cop dilaudids back in Louisina. Flew back, met boy at airport, had to hop back on *prop* type plane to Houston, then down to border...couldn't wait, had rig, K4's in pocket, was bouncing around sick in plane's bathroom, w/people outside wanting to use it, crushing dilaudid w/filthy dollar bill, pouring it in rig, sucking up water, missing, finally getting one, ahhhhh.......hahahah "the good old days!"

Thanks man for the info about the Clonidine.

Thats cool about the x-job....its thankless isn't it - I go to the hotel at night and hose the grease and dirt off.

Planes are the worst...its all those people in a small place and the inability to lay and moan on the bathroom floor.

[nick]

Hell,I got stuck between two orca fat people,all I could do was lean forward and backward..........it REALLY hurt.

Never again(shudder)

[In The Wind]

zp, why aren't you up front? In my day I quit flying in coach as soon as I had the milage.

I flew an airline I don't normally fly, though they were able to see my miles because I was collecting miles for another airlines frequent flier program for that flight. I try to keep my miles between two different airlines so I can always get 1st class with them. But, depending upon airfare or location sometimes that isn't an option.

PS - Detox in First Class still sucks - though you can just have them park the drinks cart next to your seat.

[Get-High]

The whole "Snakes on a plane" mania, is kind of like when Chuck Norris jokes were the big thing, or how everyone thought napolean dynamite was great, and the SoaP movie thing seemed like those that were really into it were beer bonging etc. etc. etc. college students. Guess no one got it. Guess it wasn't that good of a joke. Oh well. :)

[pharmboy]

I know what you mean, the dirt, grease, noise and asbestos can
really get to you. You must be a real controls super guru for them
to spend all that money flying you around. Good luck and only
stay in three star and above hotels.

[Azrael]

I gotta say, last christmas I was dopesick on the plane ride home from the east coast, and it sucked so fucking bad. I was so antsy to get off the plane that I left the coolest hat I've ever owned (black corduroy lahinch Kangol) on the plane. Live and learn.

[HandMeSomeOpiates]

Too bad the ticket wasn't for Amsterdam.
No doubt!!

RAWRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

[Hoss]

I wonder if the wine ZenPunk got on that airplane was as aged as this thread ;)

[resorcinol]

I've only been on an airplane once and I was NOT in w/d, but I had just finished w/d (my first ever detox). I think I was in PAWS b/c I was yawning a lot and had trouble sleeping that whole trip.

I got the joke, and actually giggled a little. It was infantile though.... just a little bit. I can see how that might be complete gibberish to someone not familiar with American culture who just skims it quickly. Most people who can read English I think would get the gist of it upon careful dissection.

It's basically a stereotype image of an American college (college = university = uni they are the same thing here, unless it's a community college) student who's in the first or second of the four years. Irresponsible, gets drunk every night (on cheap nasty beer like milwaukee's best), has sex with sorority sluts every night, all the while not doing any work, etc. I suppose the joke was insinuating that it's a college student of this variety that would ask "what's worse, snakes on a plane or w/d on a plane".

Honestly I don't know. It depends on how many snakes, how poisonous they are, and whether antivenin will be available before irreversible tissue damage occurs. Assuming it's not that many snakes, that only a few are mildly venomous, and that the pilot has been given permission to land at an airport 10 minutes away, then w/d on a plane would be far worse. However the situation in the movie Snakes on a Plane .... that's a tough call. That was fucked up ... gives w/d on planes a run for the money.
