Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Travel-ma heading your way, hec.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Despite recent (or, hell, not-so-recent) history, whenever I think of rushing to make an airport connection, I *still* think of OJ Simpson. So I was going to say, "Hec, be like OJ!!!" And then I thought, "....mayyyyyybe not."

I had to recently advise the writer of the newsletter I edit that he probably ought to use a different metaphor for how quickly he had to traverse the airport to make a connection. To paraphrase Spike, "We're never getting that one back, are we?"
IOW, Travel-ma, David.

Ha! I do actually use that phrase in conversation ("I had 10 minutes before the plane door shut, so I had to make like OJ."), but depending on the audience I have to quickly explain/walk it back.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'm pretty sure that reference is about ready to age out anyway, regardless of what's happened in the meantime.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
When dealing with the TSA and boarding agents at an airport I can certainly understand the urge to murder people in grisly fashion before taking off in flight, so perhaps the metaphor is still an apt one?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. "Go,OJ, ....wait"
Looks like I will arrive 3 minutes before my connecting flight.
However it's in the same terminal and they might hold it because there are probably a lot of others making the same connection.
We'll see.
So on my bday I had planned to go by Stonewall because that historica event was on my birthday. But I was too sick so I went the next day with my friend Ellen.
We're sitting there and Ellen said "Huh, no Tgirls here tonight... Holy Shit is that Lady Bunny!" And it was. And she waved to us and it was better than seeing the Pope.

I must be the only cookie-loving American that thinks raw dough is gross.(I've tried, you know, because everyone's like "Isn't this the best ever?") But now I think it's gross because science, not my myriad texture issues.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I do not like raw cookie dough, but not because of any grossness factor (bring me all the carpaccio, ceviche, sashimi and raw oysters!) but I just don't think it's flavorful.
I always lick out the brownie batter bowl, though.
ION, my dad has been in the hospital waiting for a psych evaluation and subsequent placement in a home since Saturday. He got physically violent with my sister and mom, and had to be escorted by the police to the hospital.
Things are going as well as can be expected; our family doctor has been a champ, and can I mention that there are such creatures as Elder Law lawyers, and everyone with aging parents should be aware of them? Because ours has been worth every penny.
