Also, random Q: in looking at my credit card online I noticed a pending charge from the place I was at on Friday. For $30. Problem is, I'm pretty damn sure the drinks were $16.something and I put a total of $20. Not $30. I didn't take a copy of the receipt so I'm not utterly certain of it but...pretty darn sure. Because I got two waters and one drink, IIRC. So...what's the procedure on that? Maybe someone just typed in the wrong number or misread it. If I call the credit card company is there a way for them to see what the actual charge was vs what the tip was? I don't think I've ever had something like this happen!
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't think there is much you can do with pending charges, meara. You really have to wait for the actual to come through. Some of our restaurant charges are higher as pending than when the actual comes through.
Oh aurelia, how awful and shocking for your cousins. Reminder to self to scan all the dang pictures!
Although things continue to be complicated.
I'm holding my breath for you guys.

Well, I just had a thoroughly invasive pat down by the TSA. Does Global Entry prevent you from having to deal with this shit? Because that pat down was seriously not okay.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A couple years ago we gave about 1/3 of my childhood books to this cousin. It's a petty thing in the grand scheme of things, but it makes me a little sad to know those books don't exist any more.

I know TSA Precheck doesn't. Or at least, it doesn't prevent me from having to deal with invasive TSA pat downs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You usually get to go through the regular metal detector with Pre-check/Global Entry, don't you? I've just been breezing through, but don't often get a patdown regardless.
So I don't think I have SAD, but I'm really enjoying the sun shining right on my face right now.

I get a patdown every damn time I travel, but my petticoats are suspicious.

That sounds about right.
