CS Hell, Entry #442:
If the person you are trying to reach is continually unavailable, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT say something like "Well, I left them a voicemail yesterday..." and then WAIT for me to say something. Because I have neither sympathy nor an alternate solution for your problem. Think: If the person you are trying to reach is continually unavailable, maybe you should evaluate WHY they may not wish to speak to YOU PERSONALLY. Consider breath mints and, possibly, a powerful dandruff shampoo. Oh, and a personality transplant.

Further on the subject of "Why Your Company's Rep Hates You" DO NOT call back five minutes later and ask the low-man-on-the-totem-pole CS Wonk (me) the answer to your arcane and probably stupid problem. A) I don't know and Pi) I don't care.
What is your on-plane wear, oh, lady of the cupcakes? Do you have a pared-down verson of the standard gear that doesn't make TSA think they have to search each layer of petticoat?
Nope. I wear my usual clothes, including the petticoats and a hat. (I do remember to take the hatpins out of the hat, tho'.) All the TSA people I've ever dealt with have been very amused by me. Plus, I think most of them realized that the girl in the fluffy skirts carrying a stuffed bunny probably ISN'T a terrorist, because I am obviously making no effort to be unremarkable.
You're right it's 1 quart not 1 gallon.
I'll be the defender of airport employees again and say probably a lot agree that these rules are silly but it's their job to do them and people can get into serious trouble for just bending the rules. Especially with all the criticism and scrutiny that is going on right now.
Great, now Al Qaida is going to go Perky Goth and its all Jilli's fault.
Jilli, here is a link from the TSA on what you can bring [link]
It's actually not as bad as it seems. It's really liquids and gels that are the problems, things that are cremes aren't as much of an issue.

I'm amusing myself by imagining some mad terrorist sitting next to Jilli and Clovis and being intimidated into behaving.
Okay, anyone here have experience with bulimia/bulimics? My Bro has givien me ground rules for my niece's visit, which include making sure she eats only in the kitchen and telling her to stop when she has eaten "enough." This feels odd to me, since A. she is 20 and B. I thought the accepted thing to do with bulimics is to butt out and leave the work to them and their therapist. I have been looking online and haven't found anything one way or the other on this.
Maybe that's what she worked out with her therapist?
I think you may be right, Trudes, and will double check with the bro. I also just wanted to see if there was any hivemind wisdom I could steal learn from.
Sadly I suspect that the makeup bag was not so much stolen and probably inadvertently left out. Also, if you've packed your bag tightly so that it just closesd they might have left it out because they couldn't get it closed.
