Great news about Ouise!
Wishing you pain-ease, Dana.
Congratulations, Scrappy! Though I'm not happy about you leaving California, just so we're clear about that.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

I'm getting serious about getting a "new" used car. My Forester probably isn't going to pass inspection without major repairs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This will be the first time I've flown in about 10 years. I checked in for tomorrow's flights and saved the boarding passes to Apple Wallet on my phone.
So apparently the boarding passes just appear on the iPhone's lock screen when needed?
eta: Yes they do. I feel like I just joined the late-aughts.

It's raining, my balcony door is open, it smells and sounds wonderful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yep.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
saved the boarding passes
While I have never had a problem using the boarding pass on my phone at the gate, I still print two paper copies -- one for the TSA to scribble on when they check my photo ID, and a backup in my carry-on bag.

Thanks for the tip, dcp.
The thing I hate about flying is everything but the flying part.

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.
tommyrot, my heart goes out to you and your whole family.
I'm so glad for Ouise's good news.

tommyrot, you know the TSA rules about laptops in a separate bin (tablets can stay in your carry-on), shoes and coats off and nothing in your pockets for the body scan, and liquids?
My cell number is the same in case there's anything locals can do to help.

I'm sorry, Tommyrot. I hope you have an uneventful flight.
Good luck with the surgery, Dana.
