A Note From @Tos.Boss

Bookkeeping is not Accounting. It's Operations. It's part of the day to day mundane yet very important systems and processes of every business. I help owners make their operations work so they don't have too.

?Welcome to 4th Quarter! Can you believe there are only 86 days left in 2024? How’s your bookkeeping looking? Have you checked your P&L recently? And if you have, are you confident in what you’re seeing? Don’t worry if you need help. here's a button just for that. ??
?Now, on to the fun part! As a former Air Force veteran who worked around pilots and planes (and now as a pilot’s wife), I’ve picked up a few things you might not know about flying. For instance, did you know there are several things you definitely don’t want to wear while flying? And since I’ve been traveling more recently, I’ve noticed some people might have forgotten (or never knew) that flying is a lot different from hopping in a taxi or Uber—it can even be a bit dangerous.
Here’s an interesting fact: fighter pilots don’t wear wedding rings while flying because if they have to eject, there's a real risk of losing a finger. And no cologne either—it’s flammable!
By the way, those flight attendants? They aren’t just serving drinks; they are there to keep you safe and maybe even save your life. I’ve noticed most people dress comfortably for flights these days, which is smart. In fact, here’s a list of 6 items you should avoid wearing on a plane – it could make your flight more comfortable and, who knows, might even save your life.

The 6 Worst Things to Wear on a Plane
Seasoned travelers and newbies alike: Buckle up while we give tips on what not to wear on an airplane.
1. High Heels, Open-Toed Shoes, and Uncomfortable Shoes
Yes, this includes flip-flops and sandals. Instead, choose flat, comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Ideally, a no-tie sneaker that slips on and off easily would be an excellent choice.
Why?
2. Synthetic-Fiber Clothing
Yes pantyhose, we're looking at you. Travel experts recommend avoiding any clothing item made with synthetic fibers – such as nylon, rayon and polyester – on an airplane. Instead, choose clothing made with natural fibers, like cotton.
Why?
?
3. Tight or Restrictive Clothing
Sure, go ahead and pack those skinny jeans in your carry-on bag, but think twice before wearing them on the airplane. Instead, choose a stretchy, loose travel outfit that allows you to move freely during the entire flight.
Why?
4. Complicated Clothing
Experts also recommend avoiding particularly intricate attire that is difficult to remove. We're talking about outfits with lots of snaps, buttons, zippers, or layers. When you're navigating a tiny airplane lavatory, you'll thank us for this one.

5. Bulky Jewelry and Accessories
If you are lucky enough to own a Heart-of-the-Ocean-type necklace, congratulations. But take a note from the movie "Titanic" and leave it locked in a safe at home. Even if your accessories fall more into the knock-off category, travel experts agree that heavy jewelry with complicated clasps, loads of accessories, and even large belt buckles should not be worn. If you must wear jewelry on a flight, choose simple, easy-to-remove pieces.
Why?
6. Provocative Clothing
Avoid clothing that could be perceived as revealing or offensive while traveling. Deep-plunging necklines, short shorts, crop tops, divisive t-shirts and even sleepwear could fall into this category. Experts recommend dressing respectfully as a best practice during your travels.
Why?
So, the next time you head out on a trip, remember these tips to ensure a smoother, safer, and more comfortable journey. Bon voyage!
