Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

What is it with armed insurrections happening near our Buffistas and families?!?

And IcompletelylessworrisomeN, for Chicagoistas, the first family will be in town this weekend, so be prepared for major gridlock. He's heading out to Elwood on Memorial Day to visit the national cemetary out there, so steer clear of driving on I-55 south of the city.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Flight now delayed until 8:30.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aww, frak, Dana. Will the airline at least put you up if the delay costs you your connecting flight?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ugh Dana. Any chance they are going to put you up if you are stuck?

We are having blue waffles for dinner - bisquick, oil, and syrup all a wee bit closer to finished.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Will the airline at least put you up if the delay costs you your connecting flight?

Do they operate that way? I mean, I think they should, but I'm still surprised my sister got put up. Turns out, though, that the crew didn't want to fly in at night, so it was totally an airline decision.

Man, I just got chastised for calling a woman on another board dude. Honestly? I count "Dude, t point made here " as a gender-free statement.

No, it's due to delays in Denver. Delta has actually put me up a couple of times when I didn't think they were obligated to. US Air, not so generous. I supposedly have a discounted code at a hotel, but I'm going to poke around and see what I find.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Honestly? I count "Dude, " as a gender-free statement.

As do I. A similar thing happened to me on LJ a few years ago.

Dude, that's what you get for messing around with other boards.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Dana. USAir totally screwed me like that one time, and the hotel they "found" for me was crappy, far away, and expensive. I vote poking around.

Short version: US called for an extradition on the basis of drugs and guns charges, our PM said no you obtained your info illegally, then PM said yes, and some of the public went wild. Irrationally, violently, wild.

Yeah, I went and saw. Holy crap. I hope your family stays safe!

Got a decent rate from the coupon place at a Hyatt Summerfield Suites, but as soon as I book it, I'm stuck with it. I'm not yet convinced I'm going to make it out of Charlotte tonight.
