Breast Implants Bursting on an Airplane and Other Myths

You were considering getting breast implants... until you heard the horror stories. A sister of a friend's cousin's mother's friend's daughter (you get the picture) took a plane ride and her breast bursts at 40,000 feet as she ate her trail mix in economy class. But, do your research and you will find that a lot of the stories are just that- stories. The following are some of the most common urban legends and myths circulating about breast implants and the facts that debunk them. Some are funny, some not so funny and some you'll be surprised that people actually believe. Whatever the case, the information should put your mind at ease and must help you take a better decision.

Starting with the above scenario, here are some of the common myths and your breast implant reality check:
Myth #1- They will explode on a plane or while scuba diving.
Nah, something like that wouldn't happen. The implants do change when they are under extreme high or low pressure, but they will not explode. Well, they will, but you would already be dead if you were under that much atmospheric pressure. The levels at which planes fly and safe levels for diving are not enough to cause this. What you may notice is actually an expanding and change in size, but they are not going to pop.

Myth #2- They can freeze in negative temperatures.
Why you would be out in this extreme temperature at all is a good question, but if you find yourself in this situation...fear not, your breast implants will not freeze. This is just a good old urban legend. Think about it. Your body is a very warm that is having a temperature of 98.6? F and surrounded with fatty tissues and skin that are cocooning everything inside your body like a warm blanket. You may lose a finger or toe to frostbite, but your implants are safe in this centralized location.

Myth #3- Silicone is dangerous and causes other health problems.
Everyone remembers when silicone was taken off the market as filler because there was a fear that it was causing cancer, lupus and a variety of other autoimmune diseases. In the interim, saline was used as filler. Since silicone's removal, numerous studies have been conducted to see if there was any real cause for alarm and no connection has been found. As a result, the FDA has approved silicone to be used as filler.

Myth #4- Everyone will know they are fake.
Ok, this depends largely on you and your surgeon. If you are a B cup and show up the next day with a DD, well... sure everyone who knows you will know. But, if you are just looking for a more natural look for your body, some symmetry and balance, a good surgeon can give you a look that is subtle and comfortable. A good surgeon should also help you choose the right shape and placement for your body to achieve a natural look. Silicone feels more like a natural breast, but they both will look like one as long as you go with a size that fits your body and your surgeon knows what he is doing.

If you have any questions or have heard other horror stories, don't be afraid to ask your surgeon about them. He will be able to put your mind at ease. Do your homework about the procedure and make sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon. This is your best defense against any of the real issues that may arise. Don't fall prey to the myths and urban legends out there concerning breast implants.

My First Airplane Was Jeanie's Teenie - A Look Into the Teenie II

Flying can be fun, exciting and down right dangerous too. Hanger Talk is fun and anyone who has ever hung around an small airport or in the pilot's lounge knows that some of what you here is complete BS and some is real. What is the old saying you can believe how much of what you hear?

Well, sometimes living it puts you into a whole different perspective than listening to someone else talk about something that happened to them. After all the stories you hear are most likely just talk. Now then let me tell you about my first airplane; a Jeanie's Teenie. It was a lot of fun indeed.

Although that Volkswagon engine was little bit of trouble, I flipped it over on an emergency landing in a strawberry field, deep furrows. Actually I almost died in it a couple of time. Well the scariest time was when the engine quit coming over the airport perimeter fence on take-off.

Oh no, oh yes! No way was I going to attempt to turn around, as I did not have the altitude or speed to go for it and had read enough NTSB reports to know that was a dead end deal. In fact as it was, I barely got the wings level to turn with the furrows before crash landing in that field.

I guess the farmer had a sick sense of humor putting the furrows perpendicular to the runway, in case someone lost an engine on take off. Well that was one time I almost died, another time I hand prop'ed it at 3,000 ft AGL when the engine quit. Set up an 85 kt glide, un-did my seat belt (open cockpit plane - see picture below) and then hand propped it, three times, third times a charm.

To hell with that; man, talk about 180 pulse rate and adrenal glands pumping. I guess that is the closest I got to being a test pilot. Must be a young man's sport? Fearless Youth! I guess it's true what they say;

"There are No Old Bold Pilots"

The problem with an open cockpit low-wing aircraft is if you flip you may not live. If I would have had more altitude that day I might not have been eating strawberries for lunch? I might have gotten the engine re-started like the other time? Oh well what can I say; adjusting the valves using a business card on the old Volkswagon Engine. Well you know how Volkswagon engines are?

The wing span was so short that when you sucked off the power you became a flying brick. Yah, well Mr. Collins, "I Learned about flying from That!" So much for the "Flying Magazine Columns." Well the Jeanie's Teenie was a fun plane.

Find Super Cheap Airplane Tickets to Your Travel Destination

The next time you make travel plans wouldn't be great to save a lot of money on your airline tickets? Wouldn't it be nice not to just whip out the old credit card and pay the going rate? It is possible to find super cheap airplane tickets if you know where to look, who to call, and what questions to ask.

Many people purchase their tickets through a travel agent and while this can get you some pretty good deals it may not save you as much money as if you found your airline tickets on your own. The reason for this is simple; travel agents make their living by selling travel packages and airline tickets. While they are more then capable of hunting down some very low fares for you they will also add a fee on top of whatever deal they get for you because that is how they make their money.

The point is you too can find the same deals that travel agents have access to, you just have to learn how to do it. Just think how much money you can save if you cut out the middle man.

One of the big problems with finding super cheap airplane tickets is searching through the literally hundreds of travel and airline websites that offer ticket prices. Going through all these sites and comparing airfares can literally take all day and with the quickness with which prices change during the day it can be hard to lock in a price if you don't do it right away.

Fortunately there are airline ticket price search engines that have been created precisely to deal with this problem. You simply enter in your travel dates and preferred times into one of these powerful search engines it will go out and search all the travel sites for you. When it is done it will return all the best prices for your travel itinerary giving you the opportunity to choose which will work best for you.

Many times it can pay great dividends to go straight to the source and call the airlines directly. By speaking to their ticketing agents and asking what kinds of discount tickets they have available you can usually score some pretty good deals. The reason is most airlines run ticketing specials that aren't advertised to the general public but if you ask about them you can find significant savings. The best time to call is after midnight or early in the morning to take advantage of the daily ticketing system update that occurs in the middle of the night.

Once you learn where to look and who to talk to finding super cheap airplane tickets becomes relatively easy. And the best part of finding inexpensive airline tickets is the extra cash in your pocket when you get to your destination.
