So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

[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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Dang, I hadn't even heard of that one. I live under a rock. With the tacos.

Eh. May not be the world's biggest city, but a city. Nobody is going to know every cool place around, possibly excluding local feature journalists/reviewers, and independently wealthy party boys & girls.

I'm up and waiting for the AC guy to come and measure our wall AC to see what size replacement we need to buy. Once again my request of, please call on my cellphone has been ignored in favor of the house phone, but luckily I knew where the house phone was, actually had it charged, and was able to answer it.

Our wings are not tired.

Travel saga aka kindness of strangers.

The schedule was to arrive in Syracuse last night after 11 getting to Otter Lake about 1am. My flight out of FLL was delayed, then weather diversions got it to Atlanta about 15 min before my connecting flight. Arrived in concourse E and departing from Concourse A. Went as fast as a fat old lady can manage and missed the flight. There were 3 of us and they put us on a later flight to Rochester.

One of the guys says he is going to rent a car and drive to SYR and I am welcome to join him. Having never had the stranger danger talk, I said sure! After some discussion we decide that the location of my luggage is unknown and it is just as easy to drive to Oswego where my niece lives.

So with dying phone I contact Lynda and she is delighted because she doesn't have to work today and loves the surprise detour. Bobby decides to wait until morning to fetch me. One of my bags made it to Rochester, but my carryon that I let them check still went to SYR.

Had a lovely ride with Jack. Same age. 3 kids. Wife just had 60th birthday visit with her friend in Boynton. Chatted the whole trip, getting to Oswego a little after 2am. So he wasn't an axe murderer after all.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yay, not-the-ripper Jack!

Not so yay, people not following simple directions.

It turns out not the guys fault. I was just looking at the estimate form he left me and the scheduler entered my cellphone number as my house phone number and vice versa. He was very nice, and now we just have to figure out what model we want and order it to be installed, hopefully before ltc arrives.

Oh, I'm actually really glad. He did what was asked. Who knows why the numbers got mixed up, but I can see myself making that kind of error in filling out a form.

Yeah, me too. So now the question is, go back to bed or have more tea? I just have no spoons anymore.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Oh Calli, I'm so sorry.

Glad things are not being too onerous, sj.

Good thoughts to everyone that needs and/or wants them.

Well yay A/C, sj! While I mostly don't miss my house phone for exactly situations like that, it would occasionally be handy to be able to not use my cellphone for something (or be on one and still use th other--mostly for long work teleconferences!).

Laura, glad you were not axe murdered.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Laura, glad you were not axe murdered.

Yes. I'm glad no Buffistas have ever been axe murdered. Let's keep the streak going!
