Money + Happiness?


"To put it in today’s terms, owning an iPod doesn’t make you happier, because you then want an iPod Touch. Relative income — how much you make compared with others around you — mattered far more than absolute income...."

Flying in Style with Lufthansa

Rana Florida over at creative classroom just posted this. I had to feature it as well. What do you think?

'I had the rare pleasure of flying Lufthansa, classe primo. What an amazing experience. Not only was the food delicious and the cabin spacious but the flight attendants were not surly! And the best part of all..every seat had a ROSE!
So typically after I fly, I rename the airlines. For example.
United is U-FRIGHTED
Northwest= NorthWORST
Southwest = SouthWORSTEST
US Air = US SCARE
Air Canada- SCARE Canada
Continental - Conti-HELL-tal
Delta - Schmelta
Aeroflot - AeroFLOP
American - Ameri-CANT
So for now, Lufthansa gets to keep it's name. Please share your monikers for the airline carriers.'
