New Aviation Rules
Glad you got a laugh, nan!! Founder, Homer Simpson said "Alcohol is the cause of and the solution to all man's problems", and I would have to agree with the second half!!— August 14, 2010 8:40 p.m.

Thanks, RFG - great story. It's interesting how many people side with Mr. Slater and some have nothing but disdain. I would say from my experience nothing feels better than saying "f*** this s*** - I'm outa here".— August 14, 2010 8:37 p.m.
meanderings of a re-tired mind/bring me some lines homeys
HA!! Funny. Today is my husband's birthday, so I gave him a card. On the front it shows various creams and lotions with labels "Eliminates Wrinkles" "Eliminates Aging" "Eliminates Lines", etc. What you open the card there is a picture of a beer can with the caption "Eliminates Caring".— August 14, 2010 5:03 p.m.

Doing The Laundromat Shuffle...
LPR, you can make the most mundane stuff sound interesting!! No one wrings a story out of everyday chores like you. Was there a pun in there?— August 12, 2010 4:25 p.m.
Super Kick-Ass Flight Attendant
Yes, you would think that JetBlue would at least stand up for their employee - he was the one that got whacked on the head. Could you imagine if that banshee that was screaming at him was the one that got hit? BIG lawsuit. I have two flights coming up on Southwest that I am dreading. As far as long distance flights go, we got a miles credit card years ago. We pay everthing we can on it and pay it off every month. We use the miles to upgrade to business or first class. There is no way I can be on a plane in coach for more than an hour or two before I feel myself becoming all "Steven".— August 12, 2010 3:29 p.m.
Super Kick-Ass Flight Attendant
My sister read this blog and sent me this e-mail - she makes a valid point!! "I love it! Flying does suck these days. Especially the damn kids and their parents who think nothing of their bratty behavior. We took a flight home from Philadelphia where a family sat behind us. The one kid constantly was kicking the back of our seats and screaming at the top of his lungs! The baby had a s***ty diaper. The mother proceeded to change this diaper in her seat. The smell gagged me. If I had been kicking people’s seats, screaming at the top of my lungs and soiling myself, you know the cops would have been waiting for me at the gate!"— August 12, 2010 10:04 a.m.
San Diego example of Freddie Mac's work
But bankruptcy was originally intended for protection in the event of some catastrophic event, such as a father getting cancer and being unable to meet his obligations. I do not equate that with some homeowner who maxed out their equity line thinking their home value would never cease to skyrocket and financed boats and cars and plastic surgery. I know one person personally who used equity to buy a tanning bed, among other things, and when the market crashed, declared bancruptcy. She kept all the stuff. This is stealing, as far as I am concerned.— August 12, 2010 8:32 a.m.
