Robo when do you return south?

In 5 weeks.

 

[macraven]

Snakey it is then Mac.

Does MacSnakey sound better?

Lol


Enjoy your time up there
When you return to Florida, no more 4 seasons for you

Will be hot and stinky hot when you go back south

LOL.....NOW THATS A NAME...

Was supposed to be 91 in Vero when we left last Tuesday. Has been cooler mornings and evenings here for sure.

Just read a very interesting thing in fb
A pilots wife penned it and very much an eye opener

Always two ways to view the situation

Yeah, I even know in this situation what the practice is...it is just a crappy practice. I know you first incentivize customers to take another flight, if there are no takers, you then 'randomly' select who gets booted. The first part makes sense, the second part is absurd. If you are going to 'overbook' flights...as a general practice, the people that buy tickets beyond a full compliment should be placed on stand-by and know they are gambling on making the flight. If I buy a ticket (I fly on Southwest next week), I expect to have a seat, unless I voluntarily give it up. I am pretty sure this case will go a long way toward some changes being made. I can understand circumstances happening on a non-overbooked flight, such as humanitarian reasons, but I think people are more understanding of those extreme one off situations.

With Robo on this one. Macsnakey sounds awesome.

Regards to the guy was forced to get off the plane and manhandled. I read somewhere that when you purchase a plane ticket you actually have no "right" to fly. That is to say, the company can decide at any time to deny you access to the plane, regardless of anything. They then need to offer an alternative flight, refund or compensation.

In UK we have easy jet and Ryan air as low budget airlines and they really follow the rules to the letter. If a flight is under prescribed, they'll cancel the flight and just stick you on a different one to a different airport. Then offer a bus to your original airport. And it's totally acceptable?!

Oh what a beautiful morning, cooler start to the day, but the sun is shining brightly, even clearly seeing the moon.

Have a drink homies. It's thirsty Thursday.

Little one is sleeping in, no school for her, older one has a later start. Long day for me, little one's practice goes late into the night.

And a funny:

or two:

Today is egg dying day. There is enthusiasm here for it, just not mine. However, it's always nice to see excitement over something simple.

Lynne I've been told up to 2 billing cycles for travel pkg/cruise refunds. Seems excessive

Your right. Told hubby I saw the snake and he said don't kill it....I told him not to worry I not going to get close enough to it hopefully . If it makes itself to much of a nuisance the shovel with come out.



Welcome back Rachel. You have been missed.

Pretty handy with a shovel myself. Figure I'll have an accounting one day for all the snakes I've dispatched to their happy hunting ground

The official "official" 2017 HHN thread ?

been busy since i got up this morning.
always something to get done and back and forth from here to there........


but reading along when i can



robo, think we should have a contest to name your snake....

McSnakey is awesome but when i think snake the first thing that comes to mind is the "ex"...I'm just sayin lol

 

[BagOLaughs]

I love that panda video. SO cute

I saw Disenchanted! on Tuesday night. It was hilarious. If you ever get the chance to see it - go! It is a story about how Disney Princesses really feel. It's not for the kiddos, though perfect for a ladies night out. I went with neighbors, including several former Disney employees who were disenchanted from their experiences working there.

Quiet day here - I can't talk! I woke up unable to talk yesterday and still don't have my voice back. So, the youngest has barely done any schoolwork since I need to talk. Luckily, the eldest can do pretty much all and the middle child can get 80% of her work done without me talking.

Snakey is a great name! We had a fish named Mouse once. We had started with three fish, Mickey, Minnie, and Mouse. The kids named them that since they were goldfish that looked like they had Mickey mouse ears on them in black. Mickey and Minnie died first so we were left with just Mouse.

Keisha - My kids haven't brought up egg dying so I'm seeing if we can get away not doing it. I'm the one who has to blow out all the eggs and I'm not feeling up to doing it. In the past, they liked decorating them but then were ready to throw them away the next day, so a lot of energy for what it is.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, we happily outgrew the need to dye eggs. Well, little one wants to dye her hair.

With pet names. When I was young, a cat kept coming to our house, so Cat became one of our pets.

Lovely day, and saying us too, will have one of the warmest Easters on record. I'll take it. No heavy jacket and bright sunshine. Great way to enjoy a week-end. Well, starting with soccer games for the next 2 days. I guess enough feet were put down. Games on Sunday were cancelled.

Disenchanted sounds like a hoot. I'll have to see where it's playing more local, if it is, Kohlby. I hope you get your voice back. That stinks when it interferes with school work. Guess the kids are getting itchy, as the week-end is now in sight.

[Lynne G]

Yep, she's had dark blue, that was actually hard to see, then a blond strip, but I think that's pretty grown out too now. Yeah, she's a teen. Remember that.

 

[macraven]

Well whatever color she goes with this time I am sure it will be cute!

 

[agavegirl1]

My daughter had two cats at one time named Big Kitty and Little Kitty which turned out to be pretty amusing when Little Kitty grew up to be a rather large cat dwarfing Big Kitty by half.

 

[schumigirl]

Rachel, yep, we will never fly easy jet/Ryanair type budget airlines........awful! Would rather pay more and fly BA for European flights.

Hate snakes......can't even look at pictures of them! Love the red panda video.......lol........


Good Friday today..........day of eating lots of meat for me

Since DH is here as he's on Easter Break.......stir fry steak and noodles in spicy sauce for lunch and big beefy and pork meatballs for dinner tonight........and if I can fit a bit of ribs or chicken in somewhere I will.........

Off out with DH this afternoon, nice enough day not very warm though.........was lovely sleeping late as both are off work........

Have a good one...........

 

[macraven]

Can not believe it is Friday already I

 

[Monykalyn]

Let them out for a few minutes...other one is on my sons head.

No egg dyeing here either. Thank goodness! kids off school today so we could sleep late - and we are all up by 8 except 14 year old. Be there we don't see her til noon


I read that article by pilots wife too and what a load of baloney!! Overbooked means you may be denie boarding - not physically dragged off plane. THEN she tried to equate it to a security issue (more bs- just like the bag check/metal detectors at WDW it's ALL security "theater"!). And then the "domino effect" of cancelled flights- there was ZERO other way to get that crew where they needed to be?? No charters, flight on another airline NOTHING? And the compensation--another I ole.my. $800 in vouchers- Bet if they'd offered CASH they'd had some takers. Hope this DOES change the practice of overbooking- though

 

[macraven]

So chicky is learning how to hunt and peck on the keyboard next?

That pic is a winner !

 

[schumigirl]

That lightbulb moment when you realise someone has a big chip on their shoulder about you.........

Anyway..........

Lovely picture MonyK.........cute as a button........

I suppose folks are busy today doing stuff since it's a holiday........quiet on here.........

We are watching F1 free practice from Bahrain Grand Prix.........so confused what day it is as it feels like a Saturday.......going to be confused all weekend now!
