LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

And you're better off eating in the airport than on the plane. 15-20% of the people were maskless in the airport (JFK) and no one said boo.

We fed our kids at the gate and told them that there wouldn't be any food or drinks until wheels up.

Time at the gate isn't guaranteed - not everyone has Clear and PreCheck ;)

Sometimes things are beyond your control. That said, you don't travel with a baby without having diapers. Be prepared. Make sure you have time to feed your kids.

It's been said hundreds of times already.... if you're clearly frum, and traveling with a bunch of kids, people are watching you. Wait until the plane is in the air to eat. It's not that difficult. It's definitely easier than figuring out alternate travel arrangements for your whole family after you get kicked off the flight.
Being non-frum is not going to help.

Traveling as a visibly Orthodox Jew, you have eyes on you as soon as you show up at the gate. It's not that they are looking for us to break rules, it's just that they'll notice more quickly if we do because they're already looking. (IMO/E)

I just witnessed I would say a five year old get hassled for taking his mask off. Mom was with daughter in seats in front of us and Dad with the son across the isle. Dad was doing his best. Later in the flight there was a medical emergency. No doctors or nurses on the flight. Only one that could help was an EMT. You guessed it, the Dad. Flight attendant "Karen" didn't say a word to the kid for the rest of the flight.

If you include travel time to the airport, checkin lines, security lines, boarding lines etc., it can be a few hours from when kids last ate and they can be very cranky (which can cause behavioral and compliance issues). I'm not disagreeing with your main point, only with the "it's not that difficult" part.
I traveled with a 4yr old in the summer and I let him eat as much as he wanted until boarding & he kept his mask on once in the plane

#1 rule when traveling with kids is give yourself extra time

That's one expensive l'chaim.

TBH, it's beyond me how people pay even the prices of any super expensive beverage or food. It's such a temporary pleasure.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Depends on how you define super expensive I suppose.

I specifically didn't put a number, let anyone decide for themselves what expensive or super expensive means.

I mean I think we can all agree that $2,350 for an ounce of booze is insane.
But is it insane to spend $150 or $250 per person on a fancy dinner? Probably depends on your means (and tax deductibility) I suppose.
