Was it in first class? I'm assuming yes, because Kevin Smith, but seems like they wouldn't want to piss off the high dollar customers. The riff raff back where the rest of us sit, yeah, kick our asses out the door.

It was Southwest so no classes.

Wasn't any kind of company policy but a misstep on part of the gate staff.

I have a long weekend booked away! I'm so excited! And my boss asked if I didn't want to take any time off before then...

Sadly, I need to take an extra day off so I can go to the ER when I come back, but I guess I just need to factor that in from now on. I haven't seen this friend in a gazillion years, and I've been remiss in keeping in touch, so this is long overdue.

Yay for fun, long weekend!

Kevin Smith tweeted that whole ordeal in excruciating detail. I had to unfollow him. He said he's bought two tickets for the first leg of the flight because his wife had meant to join him, but then she didn't. On the second leg of the flight, he was sitting next to an older lady, who told him he was fine, and had already buckled the seat belt when the captain came and told him he had to get off the plane. They threw a heavyset young woman off the same flight. Humiliating, and totally without justification.

I think I might be old enough that I am wondering if that means they think I am immature?

Well, you were making jokes in LolCat speak for a year and they didn't know what you were referencing.

The Steve Buscemi comment was surely ironic, but let's not forget his first major role was as the Prettyboy Cool Gay Guy in Parting Glances.

Yeah, he was awesome in that. Great film too.

No, his role was the Bitter Snarky Soon-to-be-dead-of-AIDS Gay Guy in Parting Glances. I think the Prettyboy Cool one was Adam Nathan.

Oh, msbelle. I can totally see how you are ovewhelmed right now, and I hope your folks get more comfortable real fast, since one of the reasons you moved it so your could have more support with Mac.

I do not know how you deal, and so gracefully. I'd be flippin' like a mammal; I'm sure you WANT to, and feel you can't. I wish you lived closer; I would be happy to spell you when you needed it -- I have lots of exp. with flippin' out, runnin-away-threatening kiddos. Poor Mac, poor you.

Oh yeah. Because Prettyboy Cool was a different guy.

Zenkitty - did you have anything that may have raised the humidity in your house? When my carpets were cleaned a week ago, the high humidity set off all the alarms in my place. After the initial panic, I ended up unplugging all 4 and waiting a few days before plugging them back in.

My dad just sent me the itinerary for CJ's trip out to California next month. He leaves here at 6:30am. And his return flight leaves SFO at 6:30am. CRAZY. After the drive from here to California with Kelly, if I could take the time to drive, I would do that over flying.

With my current size, I'm often worried that someone will complain and I'll get booted. So again, if I can manage the drive within the time I have, I'd rather drive, save the worry, and not have to rent a vehicle.
