Here's me until the ladies are done with Pantsy....
 
So, summary of the airline complaint, going to phoenix, book tickets with American/US Air. Didn't go with Allegiant because after all the pizzing around with paying extra for everything, it's about the same price as the others, plus in-laws live closer to sky harbor than Mesa (majors fly to SH, Allegiant flies to Mesa). Booking, it says select seats at check-in. Knowing we have 2 kids with us and want to sit together, I log in 5 minutes after it opens and there are 4 seats left in the plane, everything else is selected. Plus, they're premium seats, and it says it's like $50 a seat. I'm all...it's the only seats left, it's not like they can charge me for them. So I plow thru, basically the same thing on every leg out and back. I get done, and it says I owe them close to $600...so I'm all heck with this, I'll call them.

So I call them and he's all "well, if you want to select the seats, you have to pay for them." and I'm all "I'm not selecting them, it's the only 4 left!", and he's all, "well, if you want to reserve them, you have to pay", and I'm all "I'm just checking in online", and he's all "well, you can check in at the airport and you won't have to pay, you'll be assigned seats then", so I say fine, we'll do that.

Except, with only 4 seats left so early, it's likely they oversold and won't have any fallout, and we quite likely won't have 4 seats available.

It's a racket. The seats shown are not likely reflective of the actual seats available.

Airlines are evil companies run by ***-holes but staffed by all sorts of real good frontline people (IMHO).

That's the worst part, I want to scream "I'm sorry for screaming at you, because I know you, as an employee, are only doing your job and you are getting jacked around just like I am, but you're all I have to scream at, so I have to."
 
Haha no. It's only to block noise and light.

Milo thinks wakey wakey play with me time is around 5.30am. If we lock him outside the bedroom he cries and paws at the door. Most mornings I finish up my last 45 minutes with my kingsize pillow wrapped around my head & pressed against my ears. :)
 
off-topic related to Iowa State basketball.

I used to be neighbors with Michalik. Sad that he got laid off apparently at Tri-Center. He used to be the assistant coach at Tri-Center for basketball. He was the JV coach when I was there. I scored 20 points against his team.I'm pretty sure I ****** him off when he was an assistant teacher for a couple days. Good times.

I know, cool story bro.

My weekend did not go as planned. We picked up little Cooler Friday after work and discovered that a friend of hers decided to give her a little present, a bunch of them in fact. Head lice.

Long, thick beautiful hair becomes a long beautiful pain in the *** when you spend numerous hours running a fine-toothed comb through it 5-6 strands at a time. That and re-washing every piece of bedding, pillow cases, couch cushions, car headrests, etc pretty well consumed the "relaxation" portion of my weekend.

It seems to me that when I was a kid, if you had lice, you were a social pariah. You must have come from a dirty home or your hygiene was suspect. After reading a lot about it, I learned that it's almost as transmittable as a cold and has nothing to do with hygiene.

Of course, now I'm freaking out about any little itch on my head.

My sister-in-law called to tell Mrs. Velo that our niece has them. This was right after we spent most of Spring Break week with them. There is nothing wrong with that except she had them a few weeks before and she did the treatment and got checked at the Dr. but my SIL never did any follow up checking of her own and they say she likely never actually got rid of them so we were probably needlessly exposed.

Mrs. Velo is really paranoid now. Of course my scalp itches when I think about it.
 
after two people went AWOL on me trying to install their POS program.......they tell a coworker it's because our computers can't handle it. BS but whatever. So we ask for what we need to have it work. Instead of telling us, third person is now trying to install POS program on my computer. THIS DOESN'T WORK, YOUR PEOPLE SAID IT WON'T WORK STOP TRYING TO TAKE UP HOURS OF MY DAY AND JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION!



mad cow over here.
