Ahhrg. T just called to ask if I could help her do her hair. Honestly? I've never done braids or parted or anything to black hair. I'm pretty convinced I'd fuck it up so I told her I didn't know how (they've got some thing they are going to tomorrow and frankly, it looks nice tonight.) I felt bad. But really, I don't know anything about care for anything other that pretty straight hair except some of my coworkers talking about how brittle their hair is and last thing I want to do is bald the child! Help?

sarameg, I skipped like a mad thing, but you should have called me! I would have been happy to help. Hell, I practically held seminars in college -- "Black Hair and Why It's Different From Yours"

Hah! She did manage to do it herself, thankfully.

How are you today, Mr. Weremonkey? If I'm not putting your business out on the thoroughfare of course. My mother will never forgive me for causing her to see Al Swearingen's kidney stone Although she has a marked distaste for all things Swearingen. As do I, but he compels me nonetheless. Wow, I'm so Alma today. I'm about one neuron from MPD, I'd almost swear.

Airline standards: One carry-on plus personal luggage item, or two?

One carry-on, one personal item.

Is this kinda new? I mean, even over the last five years? I feel so convinced that the last time I didn't check my luggage I had two other things with me.

Airline standards: One carry-on plus personal luggage item, or two?

One carry-on, one personal item.

And that includes motherfuckin' snakes.

I think it's fairly new, since 2001.

I've never seen airlines limit "personal" items. I've often had a carry-on plus a computer/camera bag plus a purse/small backpack, even recently.
