OK Cupid picks three people they think would be good matches for you and sends you an email with their info. So, like, 3 arrows in cupid's quiver, I guess? IDK.

Steph, yay! So glad you are getting sleep.

I'm almost ready to begin the online dating thing. What's the lowdown on the best sites to use when you're looking for people who are ready for LTRs (versus a more casual hook-up)?

I think the tradition is eHarmony. OKCupid is nice for starters just because it's all free, though that also means there's a very large cross-section of people on it.

Or, I should say, within an hour after I take them, I get really, REALLY sleepy.

Steph, I say this with oodles of love for you: you lucky, lucky bitch.

But go you with the sleeping! That's fantastic!

I am not looking forward to tomorrow's reaction to tonight's bedtime dosage of antibiotics. (I take them every other night, and tonight is an abx night.) I am hoping that I don't feel like I did yesterday.

Sending nothing~ma to lisah.

Guess whose travel agency COMPLETELY fucked up her children's reservations, thereby leaving them flapping in the wind at least until tomorrow and more likely until Tuesday?

This girl's!

Guess who will be going medieval on said travel agency first thing in the AM?

Popping in to drool politely over StW. That is a fine compliment to the hotness of smonster.

Oh shit, Barb. WTF happened?

edited to redact stupidity of not fully comprehending. I'd blame the hour, but that would be lying.

The kids were never able to get on the flights, Maria. They're at home, safe and sound, thank goodness. Basically what happened was when the tickets were initially issued, the travel agent screwed up the spelling of our surname. When she emailed us the itineraries, I noticed and obviously, called up and politely asked them to fix it. So they voided the initial tickets and rebooked them, with the correct spelling, but it would appear that they only ran the credit card for ONE ticket, leaving one unpaid. When we got to the airport tonight, they went to check them in, went "whoospie, one of these isn't paid for," although the reservation was still in the system and because it had been booked through a travel agent, with the return coming back on a different airline, it wasn't as if USAir could honor the price or even cancel the reservation and let us pay for a one way ticket (which would have been nearly three times the cost for the original round trip ticket).

Basically, it's just a clusterfuck of ineptitude, caused by simple carelessness. What really pisses me off is that I wasn't able to book these tickets online, because the kids are underage. If I had, they'd be on a flight right now. Bah.

good gravy, Barb.

sounds to me like travel agent needs to bend over backwards (including having the agency pay for new tix) to get your kids where they need to go.
