I'm seeing reports that Liz Taylor has died - but not yet in any major media sources.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

$100 round trip, and the car ride could be really fun, but either way it would be nice to be company for my friend. I think it may not be worth it.

Also with the arrival at the airport, getting bags, finding your friend, it's going to be at least another 5 or 6 hours until you both arrive in Vegas after the drive. Not counting detours, getting lost, stopping to eat or whatever.

Me, I actually do kind of like driving cross-country on routes I've never been, but the extra time (remember, unless you're flying OUT of Vegas, you'll be doing the drive back...) balanced versus $100 (or $200 RT) savings... would probably make me spend more. If I had it, and limited vacation time.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's not worth it, really, even though now I'm looking at $150 difference! I don't know what the fuck is going on with these prices.

I've had Dogs in Elk posted to me on random email lists. It's a classic.

Think of it as sparing your friend the hassle of going to the airport twice, and treat her to a nice dinner instead?

And in a last-minute miracle, the Vegas flight went down! OK, that's done. Oy.

Pronunciation question: are the two ways that Americans tend to pronounce the word "hoof" - regional differences? Or is there an actual right and wrong way to say the word in American English? (I have no idea how they pronounce it in England - probably 100 different ways depending on regional and class differences.)

I think that the plural also tends to be pronounced differently - one with more of a "v" sounding "v" and the other with more of an "f" sounding "v".

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

I skipped a bunch - will catch up later. Hope everyone is well and safe and stuff.

point. I have an interview in an hour and 20 minutes. Please to send positive energy that it go well and that it is a job I would like and be good for. Pay is good, benefits are crap, but I think the pay makes up for it and I would be doing work I believe in, which I think would be good for my mental health.
