You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So apparently the boarding passes just appear on the iPhone's lock screen when needed?

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.

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

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.

Our wings are not tired.

The thing I hate about flying is everything but the flying part.

Exactly. I just expect it to be miserable so anything that goes right is a plus. I'm sorry the trip is necessary. Holding you in my heart.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This morning I woke up from a dream about learning medical coding. Okay, brain.

I also called in sick. At the moment, I'm not in as much pain as I was yesterday, but I was not getting up for the fucking 7AM meeting.

OMG, I had the craziest dream last night. I can't even describe it, but Jilli was there for no apparent reason.

Ok, y'all, this list ranking "hottest heads of state" is cracking me up. Also I strongly disagree on several of them. Please discuss.
