Reverting back to the Engineers are better than you dummies discussion...I'm having fun this morning repeatedly replying to a genius design engineer with "please actually read my e-mail, your question was answered in the first paragraph of it". He's certainly too smart to be bothered with actually reading the certainly pointless musings of a dumb operations guy who's been doing this stuff for 12 years.
 
The ten-year-old recently read a book at school that involved lying and the class had some fun with it. This is how she applied the lessons from the book discussion.

Oh dear - amazingly perceptive!
 
After his birthday this year I guess my Dad no longer has to remove shoes when flying. I guess they don't think people over a certain age will use their shoes as a place to hide explosives? I know my mom can't go through the scanner because she has a pacemaker, not sure if my dad can with 2 titanium hips.
The titanium screws in my knee get detected by the wand but not the big body scanner.
 
Me too. Showers were required after PE...and that was a struggle in Jr high when all the girls were developing at different rates. Body-shaming (and envy) meant that girls' bodies were discussed outside of the locker room, and in mixed company. It could be very humiliating. And now every girl has a camera in her phone...yikes!


Didnt think of the phones. The coaches office was in the "JV" locker room. It was shared with the JH quite often also. We would get the female coaches wwalking through all the time. The male coaches stayed out of the girls locker room, but not vice versa.

Fedex just dropped something off right before leaving. Isn't someone looking for a package?

There are 2 things I've learned from all the silly spy novels that I read.
1. There is no such thing as a coincidence.
2. The most logical answer is almost always right.

Sometimes, inexperienced people like to show-off how smart they are and make things unnecessarily difficult. Often times they can get away with this because they generally have more energy and more time on their hands.
 
Starting to rain/sleet here. Kinda want it to cut loose about 2 pm. Another track meet tonight. A town that I hate going to, I want to shower as I drive into the down it seems that dirty. Son says he's not in the mood either.
 
You're a farmer and you've worked in an auto shop. You have to have some piece of shrapnel from some exploded piece of machinery somewhere in your body.


Not to my knowlege. Got stitch marks and scars like you wouldn't believe, but (knock on wood) only one small surgery and lasik is all I've been intruded on.
 
I've had my jeans button set off the scanner at the DSM airport. At the DSM regional, it was the zipper on my dress pants. (The buttons were plastic) Awkward.

Yeah, I was looking at the airfares for Allegiant from DSM to PHX...$88 one-way is awesome, but all those fees? Ick.
