You are right I meant gilded. Damn this thumb typing.

Kristin, no worries, Deena and I shared Supermarket Hell today. Probably not on a level with Southwest Airlines, though.
Kala taxidi to you guys!

Ok, have achieved window seat towards the front (next to large woman, alas) and must now go stealth.

Southwest Airlines is the product of an unholy union between a cargo plane and a prison bus.

We just went grocery shopping too! Nothing so grand, though, as we're just cooking for the two of us. Hubby has fruit cake and is happy, I have fudge and am happy.
If he's feeling up to it later, we may go over to the mall later today and laugh.

Hey. New board.
...I kind of like Southwest. Whyfor all the hatred?
I'm sitting in Richmond airport now. MUCH nicer than JFK Delta terminal. Very clean, free wireless, well laid out. A bit annoying that I had to go out of security to get a real meal, at an Applebee's that may have jacked up prices for Virginia, but is downright cheap compared to Manhattan. Plus, free soda refills, and a beautiful view of the 65 degree, sunny day outside. Then, on the way back in to security, had a nice chat with the security guard people. Southerners really are nice.
I wish the South had New York's theater and museums. Then I could move back with no regrets.

...and I'm back. We're waiting for delayed Ft. Lauderdale passengers, apparently. In the meantime I am taking solace in my iPod and new!shiny!QuietComfort headphones (excellent xmas gift from ND's parents!) and trying not to listen to the conversation next to me about how nice CA used to be before "those Mexicans" started to "put everything in other languages" and how everything will be cheaper once "we stop them from coming over." God help me. This is going to be a long flight.
ETA: Gris, I think it's that Southwest treats its passengers like cattle. I just would like a seat assignment so I don't have to fight for a good spot in the B line and then have to sit on the floor for an hour to ensure I don't get stuck in the middle for five hours.

If you were giving just one Eddie Izzard DVD to a cool 18 year old girl going away to college next year, which one would you give?

I hate being treated like cattle and that's what Southwest does. How hard is it to give an assigned seat? I also find their planes more cramped than the bigger carriers. The terminals they operate out of tend to be run down and they never have enough seating for the number of flights they run. They have lost my luggage and have been delayed more than any other airline I have flown.
The funny safety spiels just don't make up for it.
I will happily pay more to be treated more like a human being than like cargo.
