I'm totally down with airlines charging for more than one checked bag, but I'm extremely grumpy at the idea of paying for one suitcase.
And I have often been whacked on the head by baggage, which is why I always go for the window seat.

Right, that's what the RPI engineer is saying, that our brain is projecting 1/10 of second into the future, rather than we reacting to events 1/10 of second in the past.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Or people who carry sixty-three bags down the aisle and bonk into people as they walk by all the rows.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The people who think golf clubs are their "personal item," and have a suitcase to carry on, TOO.

Pssst, it's OK to murder people who are teasing you about something you really, really care about, right?

They can't possibly think that's a good idea. I mean, dude, that would put me off ever flying American again.
Unless all of the airlines start this bullshit. Charging for a second bag, I can see, but one bag? It's going to be a nightmare, with people now always taking carryon. I hate to check, so I do carryon. It started to be an issue with overhead space for a while, but then with the TSA restrictions, people stopped carrying on as much, so it was fine. Ugh. and there's nothing I hate more than some woman who stands in the aisle and looks pitiful because she's not strong enough to put her bag up in overhead.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes.
ION, where is my pencil?

Crapsticks. I think DH and I will hitchhike to this SF wedding in August.

It's possible that I'm so grumpy and angry at the entire universe right now because I forgot to eat breakfast. I mean, the universe will still suck after I eat lunch, but at least I'll be less likely to try stabbing it with a pair of scissors.

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

How tall are you? I rarely put a bag in the overhead, but when I do, it's usually difficult, because I have to lift it over my head. And I'm average height.
