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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.

Excellent, thank you for the link, ND.
I'm amusing myself by imagining some mad terrorist sitting next to Jilli and Clovis and being intimidated into behaving.
Ha!

Was there a tag inside the bag saying that the TSA had inspected it? If they do a search they are supposed to leave a tag inside saying they did so.

My thought is that if she agreed to this, great. If not, it feels weird to me too.

That's what I was wondering. If there was no note, then I'm guessing outright theft. If there was a note, then it was probably either (1) laziness/couldn't get makeup bag back in, or (2) theft, with the rationalization of "What are they going to do to me? I'm the fricking TSA!"

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sadly, theft has gone up. - or missing stuff. But is it the TSA - or just unlocked bags? 1 tool out of DH's bag, mostly like TSA. Entire tool bag - anyone that touched the bag is a suspect

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
The first thing I thought was theft, especially if S. had any nice, unopened toiletries in her bag. But inadvertently left out is a good possibility, too.
My bag used to get inspected a lot, particularly when Annabel was little and I was packing lots of toys and such for her--I figure they looked funny on the x-ray machine somehow. At Birmingham you can actually watch them scan your checked bags. One time when ours got inspected there they spent five minutes over the sunscreen and bug spray we had along for AB. But I never had anything turn up missing.
