'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

PS, on close examination, the Cheetah lady has bicolored eyes!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Another report from my email, this one more likely to be accurate:

We are just leaving Dallas. They are permitting carryons and electronics, just no liquids of any kind. Security was surprisingly efficient here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I love the tagline on that book!

You need a new tagline.

I note that neither the lady nor the cheetah are kicking each other's ass.

She's probably already established dominance over the Cheetah.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Israel only has one international airport, right?

Only one we're allowed to know about... dun duh duuuun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, just Tel Aviv AFAIK.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Nothing new, there, Cass. Last year, a recruiter in Ohio signed up a kid who had just walked out of a three-week stint in a psychiatric ward here in Ohio. Then he lied to the boy's parents
Sadly, I am not surprised. It seemed like I should have been earlier, but I am realizing just how unsettling the whole recruitment circle is.

This is the first time I haven't lived near a massive/major military base or three. I like it but it also is more different than I would have expected.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yay for things going well for Scola.

In the spirit of both balance and testing August to see how many Buffistas can fit into the hospital, I was back in the ER last night.

Stop that.

Please?

Asking for a little travel ~ma.

Best of luck, Dawn, and I hope you have a great time once you get there.

Hi! I'm posting from work, rather than from Chicago, because my flight (to the same con as Dana) was cancelled outright.

Ah, damn. I hope you can make it at some point.

information libertarian

Having been treated as a level 2 threat by airport security while leaving Israel on a non-El Al flight - I was a non-Jewish woman who had been there for 10 weeks and been all over the country, consorting with who knew who - I have to say that I don't know if the security increase gained from this kind of screening is worth the resentment it builds in travellers. I'd rather see everybody's shampoo randomly screened than just mine because of my religion or lack thereof (they took me into a back room and hand-checked all my luggage, including things like holding my shampoo up to the light).

Also adding my yay's for Mr. Scola's speedy recovery. I'm very glad that ita is staying home today. Your head is being very mean and it probably needs to stop doing that now.

Best of luck, Dawn, and I hope you have a great time once you get there

Thanks Lee! I get to see my brother yay! I haven't seen him in 8 months so I'm really looking forward to it.

Theo, that just sucks. I'm sending travel~ma your way.
