Great idea for fruitcake. Fruitcake was the big item here yesterday....so much fun!
By the way, when did you get back, meaness! I bet you had a joyful time with your son....I sure hope so! I had errands to run this afternoon and just about didn’t make it back to the thread....you know, nap, etc. all those important things!
Cute graphic! I wish that would work. My squirrels have given me a fit this past season.
I’m hoping there will a cure for that.
Keep me posted! LOL
I have called the bore inspector!
Okay, the words are perfect....I’m trying to figure out what ‘that thar’gizmo is?
‘Rolling finger tips on my desk’, waiting for answer...LOL~~
JC, I had a wonderful visit,
But, after going through airport security and setting off the alarm, (even though I told them I had doctor’s proof that I have had a hip replacement) I was taken to another room: x-rayed (total body, front and back), felt-up (even private places), almost totally stripped, ‘wanded’ by (IMHO) a pervert, and my carry on was emptied (even tho it had been x-rayed previously), and everything was opened and examined, x-rayed again, scanned. My lipstick, mascara, toothpaste, moisturizer and hair spray were opened and checked for explosives - my wallet and all contents emptied and examined, even my hair brush put through a microscope.
I had tip money in my hand to give to the bellman, and was required to give up the money so it could be checked and held up to the light, to make sure there was no bomb in there.
The entire time, I ‘obeyed’ the commands of Security - never compaining or saying anything derogatory. It took four people almost an hour to ‘clear’ two ‘elderly ladies’.
It was a TOTAL humiliating experience, and I will not voluntarily choose to fly commercial again. Especially out of Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.
It’s a flashlight
Now that is cute! And I am so sleepy, I think I have sleeping sickness....
Yorkie, I swear you have the worst time. I have flown a couple of years ago...no problem whatsoever! It was so easy. I cannot imagine why you had to go through so much! It was like something trying to keep you from going. Well, I am glad you are home safely, thats the main thing. Next time you fly, you probably will not have a speck of trouble. Did they not believe you about the hip replacement? Just amazes me to no end.
Oh no!
I’ve had two knee replacements. Does this mean that I will have the same humiliating experience if I fly again?
I keep hoping to get to Texas again. I have an aunt and an uncle that I would like to see again.
It is ridiculous what they put you through.
No they didn’t believe me. I even have a doctor’s signed card. They told me it could have been easily counterfeited. I was dressed nicely, behaving respectfully, and I have no idea why they chose to give two elderly ladies the ‘third degree’.
Maybe those of us over 55 should travel by Rv, car or private charter plane.
Oooops......that’ll wake you up!
