I am really afraid of flying so if any of you frequent travelers have any tips (or know of ways to get upgrades so I'm so pampered that I don't realize i'm in the air over 8 hours), I would be very appreciative. I know we recently had an anxious flyer who made a successful trip so that gives me hope. I've avoided it for thirteen years (I know), but now it is going to be necessary for me to travel. I was beginning to think that maybe I'd never have to fly again, but then love of travel made me confront the fear. So around 7am CST Oct 3rd, please send some just-suck-it-up-and-get-on-the-freakin-plane ma my way, I would really appreciate it. Also don't-freak-out-midway-and-embarrass-yourself ma would be good too.
Do we have any buffistas in Hawaii? I'll be in Honolulu Oct 3rd-14th, then on Kauai 14th-26th if anyone wants to meet up. I know it's a remote possibility, but we are talking Buffistas, so you never know. Profile addy is good.
edited to fix dates
So glad that the news is getting better for everyone!
I hope that continues. Could I get some ~ma tomorrow morning around 9 am EDT? I'll be in court and I need a good outcome.
The ~ma worked. I got the good outcome. Thanks everyone.
Boarding plane to Mexico, dark grey for the next week or so.
Drew came home from the hospital yesterday. Hurray!
I'll be in NorCal from Sept. 30 - Oct. 11. While I have some things definitely fixed like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass on the 3rd and Harbin Hot Springs from 4-7/8, I have other times available, esp evenings. If some Bay Area Buffistas want to meet up for a cheap dinner somewhere, please drop me a line.
My Dad is headed back to Herat, this time for six weeks. Some safety~ma would be appreciated.
My Brother is going to be Manhattan for medical reasons. He is going to be stuck in a hotel for a good part of the time because of medical treatments that will require him to remain in a sitting position for most of the stay.
He will be at the Bentley Hotel 500 E. 62nd St.
He is wondering if anyone can rec some good places that deliver. He can't handle dairy or anything very spicy but can handle mildly spicy. Within those limitations (Chrohns) he is adventurous. Also his fiancee will be there and was wondering if anyone can rec. some stuff in the immediate area that she can do without leaving him alone too long - bookstores and museums and such
profile addy good.
Pearl, my chihuahua, passed suddenly Saturday morning with no suffering. We called her the drama queen and joked that she was the only one who didn't know she was tiny, and for that matter, a dog. She saw me through a divorce. She saw C through moving around due to my job, when she was his only friend. She was my alarm of anything out of the ordinary and companion to my whole family. She had a huge heart for only a few people that she considered her family, and her heart was only matched by her attitude. Fare well Drama Queen. You were a good friend and will be missed.
For those over in Supernatural, I still haven't seen the premiere, but will watch in the next few days, when things feel a little better, and then be back in thread. Thanks also to the buffistas who have already reached out to me. I treasure you more than you will ever know.
