The judge said if they are going to speak to an individual juror, th...

Finally back on US soil but not home yet. Hey! And you probably got some sleep too. Not much. We left our hotel in Nepal at 5:30 pm Nepal time. They’re +9:45 in Kathmandu. We left Kathmandu for Delhi late (around 11:30). They took us by bus to the plane, and made us endure this farcical show of sec...

Finally back on US soil but not home yet.

I finally got my boarding pass and I’m at the gate. After air india rebooked me on United, they kept my luggage tags. United wouldn’t issue a boarding pass without them. A very helpful United agent helped cut through the BS. After I had a confirmation number, in a rare moment of clarity I checked in...

Yeah, Maybenaut is a sooper strong personality, and she's with her husband, so ordinarily I would not be seriously worried about her. She's as capable as they get. But now I'm wondering, what can she find that she can eat? Remember, she has that terrible alpha gal disease and she can't eat meat. I ...

So. I’m trapped in no-man’s-land. I’m in the Delhi airport. I can’t leave the airport because I don’t have a visa. I can’t enter the main terminal because I don’t have a boarding pass. I can’t get a boarding pass until the United ticket agent shows up at five pm! It’s now 10:13 am, and I’ve been her...

So. When we arrived at the Kathmandu airport the woman checking us in said that the flight was delayed one hour. No biggie, we thought, we have a two and a half hour layover. Then they announced another hour delay. That’s cutting it close. And we were about 20 minutes late leaving after the two-hour...

OK, it might be time to worry. We’re stuck in the Kathmandu airport and might not make our connecting flight from Delhi to Dulles. It’s not clear.

But whatever happens, this trip to Nepal has been lifechanging.

OMG at breakfast this am she jumped up into this guy’s lap while he was eating. He just let her stay there and purr.

Wasn’t there something in Ohio?

As I mentioned in the Don’t Make Us Worry thread, I’m visiting Nepal. This is Lucy. She is, I was told by someone who works there, the manager of the Kathmandu Guest House. She is a very gracious hostess.

I've looked at the requirements to qualify for several Army jobs. I'm trying to steer my grandson in the wrong direction. Some jobs require ASVAB scores of 110+ in some areas. Where does he get the 99 as a maximum score from? The AFQT - the Armed Forces Qualifications Test - is part of the ASVAB. T...

Zeke!!!!

Leaving tomorrow for Nepal. My friend and I are going on a music and arts tour.

Sounds like a great time!

We had the septic guy here this morning. The septic system and the underground fresh water cistern were damaged. The septic tank is plastic and needs to be completely replaced. The cistern is concrete. The guy said it can probably be sanitized and repaired. The plastic riser coming up out of the tan...

I got a call this morning from my daughter-in-law Kim to say that she got a call that her mother has had a massive stroke. She’s alive but completely non-responsive. Her family has been told there is no reason to do anything at this point except comfort care, she’s not coming back. So sad! All we c...

My dad used to go to Canada on business, and he’d bring us back maple sugar candy. :lovestruck: And boxes of broken candy sticks from the A&P in the States (I was the only one who liked it; you can’t find clove candy sticks anymore). After I was already grown up he also went to Pennsylvania coal...

If you buy five, you get a free pair of gold sneakers. Act now!

Happy Birthday!!!!

If the trial and the verdict are election interference, then paying the bond should be a campaign contribution.

I kid, but only just.

On a related note, what is with the racoon look? Is that supposed to be attractive? Is any of it? I’m not usually one to beauty-shame. I think people have the right to dress, coif, cosmeticize, surgify, veneer, and botox themselves to whatever extent makes them feel beautiful to their own eyes when...
