Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh ita ! I'm glad you are going home, fingers crossed that work takes care of itself while you're gone. When is your mother's surgery? Isn't it tomorrow?

Kat, fingers crossed that the new school works out. The aide can't deal with the trache? oy!

My poor girl was plum wore out today. She just weeped (er, wept) off on and on for the last hour or so she was awake, more like the last hour and a half. Just too tired, even she knew it wasn't over any thing really, just missing her cousin. I tucked them into bed early.

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

I don't think I've ever gotten to the airport that early for a domestic flight on purpose. Except maybe in Vegas? But still.

Well, if you need to check a bag and get through security, it can really take that long to arrive at your gate before they board thirty minutes before the scheduled departure time. Not that I really end up at airports that early, but I know that I am risking it. Cutting it close happens, but so does missing flights.

ita !, I tend to even think about the fact I need a DNR and will only when force to by circumstances. I hope that's all this is for your mom. Which reminds me, I need a DNR and will.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Cass speaks truth. Beau and I were traveling to CA this summer on a 7 am flight and we arrived at the airport 90 minutes before the flight and I'm thinking we were golden.

We got to the gate while the flight was fucking boarding - very few people in the gate area. I didn't have time to eat anything before the flight, which I want to do to avoid air sickness. Oh well.

Same happened for me with Emmett's 7:10am flight when we got there at 5:30am, except we missed the flight. They just didn't process us in time.

I think 90 minutes should be long enough to get through airport security and to check one bag. I really do.

I concur!

Because books.

Philly's really not that bad, or wasn't the last few times I was there, and is really close without traffic, which should be the case that early. She's also booking my cars tomorrow, I hear. Yay.

Vegas, though. Wow, that was a nightmare with a security.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I usually get there an hour before and haven't had issues. I thought an hour was the suggested amount. But I've also tried not to check bags if I can help it lately.

Suggested is two hours. Adding an additional thirty minutes if you are returning a car in San Diego (off-site but the bus ride is five minutes to my terminal and they have scanners when you pull in to return the car).

I've cut it to two hours total, but I know one day the security line is going to screw me. I keep it at two +car parking or +rental return if I have to check luggage.

Sometimes I get through lines and security easy, but I know it's not a sure thing.
