There is going to be a button to push or a number to call when you get there, Hil. It's not worth getting worked up over. They've needed to deal with this situation before, surely. And before the card entries, with people losing their tickets. Get there and deal with it then. Don't stress.
Bunnies frighten me.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That's what I'm trying to do, cass. Nothing I can do until I get there. Right now, I'm just hoping that, unlike the last two flights I was supposed to be on, this one will not be canceled.
I would say that I'm not flying us airways again, but as long as I'm living where I live, and my relatives are living where they live, I don't have many options.

Pretty much. And I really think they'll have a stream-lined way to deal once you are there.
smonster, I am sorry you were laid off but I really think this might be an opportunity for you. Wishing you calm through it though because, opportunity or not, stressful.

And, there go the tornado sirens. Crap. And what the hell am I supposed to do about the cookies I put in the oven two minutes ago?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Anne, flip on the TV/radio/interwebs to see how severe the weather is and what the path is, and how long before it gets to you. That way you can calculate if you have enough time to leave the cookies in the oven.
Also, be safe.
Also, NO THANKS for sending that stuff east. It's my understanding that SW Ohio is going to get a wrath-of-god style storm after 11 pm.

At this rate, it looks like the bad stuff is going to skirt just east of me. I've got the TV on, and things look NASTY. The temp has dropped 30 degrees in the past hour.
Teppy, I hope the storm loses a lot of its oomph before it gets to you.
The cookies are safe, and so am I. The cat is no longer freaking out, and has emerged from behind the electronics in the entertainment cupboard (he feels compelled to hide among the wiring during electrical storms) and is demanding pettins. He's a fairly decent barometer, all told.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, I hope this turn of events leads you to exactly what you want.

So far they're still predicting wrath of god. We're putting fresh batteries in the weather radio and looking for the headlamps/flashlights.

I hope the storm is all show and no trauma in your area, Steph.

Fred Pete, much ~ma to you, Hubs and Victor.
Zenkitty, I hope the scary symptoms go away, and that you stay safe and healthy.
Teppy, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
smonster, when I got laid off from my job in Baltimore, it lit the fire under me that got me moving back to St. Louis, which ended up being the best thing I could have done. I hope this works out just as well for you and that things can be as stress-free as possible in the meantime.
