Thank goodness, Scola is home and repaired.
Good news on Betsy's brain drugs. ita needs some new brain drugs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear, ita. I hope you're not working at all today.
I'm in awe of you guys with serial migraines. I get them only occasionally, and they turn me into a big baby. I frankly don't think I would survive any more than I get. (If nothing else, someone would kill me for my constant whining.)
Seriously.
I'm glad things went well for Scola, at any rate.

I can't rule that one out. I'm already contemplating going to my manager and saying 'Yo, I got nothing done in July.'

Ann, that's a ferret.
Betsy, I note that the Guardian's list doesn't include reading material. So if the U.S. is reacting similarly, the "long book" advice wouldn't work.

Good luck with travelling, Dana.
See, I try to picture this in my head and think, "Tangents are linear."
This is exactly why I tacked on the "whatever".

The U.S. seems to be slightly less stringent -- they aren't banning purses, for instance.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Frank, here's the LJ post:
Nothing exciting, but I did need to mark the occasion in blogging. (:

Since the only thing I carry on a plane is a large purse chock full of now-contraband (and hell, a lighter. The only place that was confiscated was when I accidentally left security in Kansas City!) I'm pretty much hoping they chill the fuck out before I get on a plane again. I get pissy about buying a bazillion overpriced, undersized bottles of water in order to stay hydrated.

Thrive to spite them
Speaking as someone who works in an airport (but not for an airline), at least here, US airlines are allowing carry on luggage as usual.
However, they are banning all liquids and gels. This includes: beverages, make up, perfumes, lotions, creams, toothpaste, over the counter medicine and anything with a similiar consistency.
Baby formula/breast milk/juice in bottles are allowed. Liquid perscription medicine is allowed if the name on the bottle matches the passengers name.
The choice for these things are: put it in checked luggage or throw it away.
Some airlines are suggesting that passengers not take carry on luggage just to make things easier for the passenger.
Some places may be doing searches.
It sucks that this going on and it puts an extra strain on everyone but the airlines and airports are putting passengers safety first.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dear lord, people, we should just open up Buffista General and be done with it. (Instead of jello, we'd give people laptops and a stack of DVDs when they wake up after surgery. Instead of those little plastic ID bracelets, everyone would get a personalized tiara.)If we had Buffista General, I would actually go to the doctor more willingly.
Especially if they had large bottles of water. I don't (want to) be anywhere without one. It's the former desert rat in me.
