Flying Southwest you are braver than me

1st thing that crossed my mind re the travelers on the flight was "I wonder how much compensation they received from SWA..." when given lemons, make lemonaide

Hiya guys and gals. Every time I say I am going to catch up, something happens. Well, something happened that gives me a bit of time to catch up. I am currently in Salt Lake City, Utah. My cousin the flight attendant was in a bad car accident and had a brain bleed and herniated disc. I have been in Salt Lake City, Utah for a few days trying to take care of her. Poor girl has no one else to help her, so here I am. Her brain stoped bleeding last night, so the docs want her out tomorrow. So, we hope to get her discharged and bring her back tomorrow to Chicago. She is going to live with me for awhile so that she can recover and get back in the air. Things will be rough for awhile, like I need one more person to take care of, but we will make it.

Good to catch up. Will see y'all later.

Ok homies here is a good one for you
After finally figuring out we can afford a short trip to the darkside and being on a very tight budget and really no room for error on this trip that DW just informed me that she gave all of our luggage to DS when he went to Australia and for me not a problem cause I use a duffel bag for my cloths and carry it on but her we usually check her bag

take your time in getting back to us.
i know you take care of your mom and have a busy work schedule.

go to target the week you leave and buy her a piece of luggage.

don't remove the tags though......

take the luggage back when you return from your trip and tell them you changed your mind and don't want it anymore.

refund..............$


ok, that might be a tad too bold.


i can send you plastic or paper bags to help out.

 

[macraven]

well, they would be within the 30 return plan if they did it that way.......

Best wishes to your cousin, hope she heals soon, and to you too for taking care of her

Awesome of you to help your cuZ out like that.. I'm sure her and your family are very grateful. I hope she recovers fully and soon.

TGIF everyone!!!

Just decided to reward myself with a new toy..

It is a Samsung D8000 59" Plasma 3D HDTV


Now I am busy on ebay trying to get some good deals on 3D Blu Rays

It should be in sometime next week.. so hopefully by next weekend I'll have my baby up and running

Tomorrow I run in my first "official" 5K.. wish me luck..

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

 

[minniejack]

Niki that's so awful for your cuz...prayers to you and her

Coach don't you wish they'd just say 3.1 miles? That sounds so much more doable

Schumi...I'm only part way to the banana bit--like them fresh, but ick in anything else--just not a fan

But popcorn, like Mac said, that's a meal by itself.

Schumi Try 2T mustard, 2T honey, 1/2 C. mayo and whisk

Mac send that warmth my way. Still only about 50. Brrr

KY Head to thrift store--they always have luggage

Happy weekend. Off to work church rummage sale. Then hopefully DH will get home for the music of Led Zeppelin for the symphony--not the typical put you to sleep concert.

 

[keishashadow]

coach is rich, he bought stonehedge...aliens not included. jk, enjoy that big old man toy!

nikiur a good peep

mac paper or plastic? lol

StL - who do you fly? if carryon's are fee-free, i'd just go that route & tell the mrs to 'roll' her stuff. Do you have any discount/outlets near you? Ross has high quality, usually last year's luggage, but typically a minimum of 3/4 off. I have a friend who has bought all her luggage in thrift shops. If going that route, i'd be sure to bug spray & garbage bag it for a few days, then air it out before using, jik bed bugs are lurking

TGIF! Road trip for me & the mr to Erie tomorrow to see my son's #1 AIFL team

, crush their opponent. i smell a stop over in the local casino...im a multi-tasker, what can i say?

Awhile back I posted the link to the burnt tomatoes. I'll repaste in case you missed it. These are simple and really good.
4 firm but ripe tomatoes
Extra virgin olive oil
Coarse salt
16 black peppercorns (see note)
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves

1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface. Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes in half. Brush the cut side of the tomato halves with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt to taste.

2. Place the tomatoes cut side down on the hot surface. Do not move for 8 to 10 minutes, or they will burst and lose their shape. The bottoms of the tomatoes will show a thin black line of char all around when they are done.

3. Using a sharp-edged spatula, lift the tomatoes off the hot surface and invert onto a serving plate, so that the burnt side is up. With a chef’s knife, cut crosshatches into the surface of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the peppercorns and oregano, drizzle with more olive oil and serve immediately.

Note: I like whole peppercorns here, but if you find them problematic, coarsely crack or grind them.

WOW........... Thanks for posting this again.........just done these for our lunch today. Bought some lovely big beef tomatoes at the farm when I was out grocery shopping today.

I used chilli oil and griddled some red peppers and had it with some Parma Ham..............it was gorgeous. I cracked the peppercorns as Tom doesn`t like them whole. I was so tempted to try and move the tomatoes before they were ready But I persevered and they were perfect

He was a bit wary when I said we were having tomatoes for lunch........it was a look of.......eh what are we having with them????

It was lovely, thanks again

Coach.......that is a big tv!!!!! One of my brothers has a 50" Sony.........you can`t see most of his wall in the family room for it!! Enjoy it though.

Have a good weekend everyone

Awful quiet I can hear the crickets in here

Think those crickets were bouncing on my head this morning

Who knew I liked Jack Daniels

I stupidly agreed to try it straight after we were done with the cocktails................and we all had a few of them I don`t drink any kind of spirit normally unless it`s well mixed in cocktails with loads of fuit juice.

Don`t like it so much today!!! Self professed Queen of Cocktails has retired.............. till next time

Anyhoo...........not done much today, except sleep and eat......then repeat

But......a good night was had by all
