Is your stove gas, Kathy?
I should probably shower and wash the dishes and shit while I know I still have hot water.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cabin crew reveal most unusual customer requests
Some passengers fail to understand why they are prevented from opening the window, while others would like the engines to be "turned down" to reduce the noise.
The foolish and sometimes bizarre questions asked of flight attendants were disclosed after 3,000 Virgin Atlantic cabin crew members listed the most unusual customer requests they had experienced.
Among the most common queries was "Please can you open the window?", from uncomfortable passengers who had failed to appreciate the benefits of a pressurised cabin at 35,000 feet.
Other unique questions fielded by Virgin staff included "Could you turn the engines down because they are too noisy?" and "Please can the Captain stop the turbulence?"
The survey of 3,000 cabin crew also laid bare the level of comfort and service some customers expect, with several asking flight attendants "Can you show me to the showers?"
One crew member was asked to book a massage for a Barbie doll, while flight attendants were also asked to help a customer locate a missing glass eye.
Other customers, who may have overestimated the amount of space on their aircraft, asked: "Can you take my children to the playroom?" and "Is there a McDonald’s onboard?".

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm taking a couple mental health hours, and sending off my request for an official transcript from my BU days, which is now 30 years ago. Worth the $6 fee, because it could mean a boatload of credits toward the Extension degree.

Oh -- the Barbie massage request makes a wee bit more sense when you know that the Virgin Premier Class has complementary massages for passengers. (I got upgraded -- once. Don't look at me like that.)

Skipping (sigh - again? so soon?) because, according to Topic!Cindy "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Feb 1, 2006 1:02:15 pm PST today is Olivia's birthday.
Happy birthday, you big lovely girl! With lots of wishes for your mom, your big brother, and all your family!

Like Jesse said, everyone stay inside! At least until the collective Buffista move to Hawaii, which I think is the New Improved Plan.
Good luck to Grace, with her laryngotomy.
Today was so weird waking up and only having to get myself ready. Muscle memory is right. And yet, I was still running late.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Good luck Grace!
