Yep.

A Tribute to Freepers - Summer Freepathon!

[Rowdee]

That's a great concrete story. :)

[Mo1]

Thanks Libby

[lodwick]

;-) Glad you saw it. Have a super day up north. We're enjoying Baked Texas here. So dry.

[Rowdee]

It should be a hoot trying to get my Dad a flight to Oklahoma for the annual family reunion in Arkansas! He's not owned property since I was little; he hasn't had a credit account in probably 50 years. Hasn't had a drivers license since '96. And he sets metal detectors off because of the knee braces he wears when he is going to be away from home. :)

In the meantime, the ME Arabic sheik who owns property, who has a great credit rating, has a drivers license, undoubtedly has his own jet....would pass muster without a hitch.......only in America! LOL.....

[Rowdee]

Morning, loddy.....today is cool; in fact, I woke up to rain and wind. But the previous few days it has been dry and pretty warm.

As my Dad said, "the weeds I just cut down musta needed a drink"!! Yeah, right.....

I got the local paper out of the mailbox yesterday, but haven't looked at it yet....will see if there is anything in history that might tickle your fancy. :)

Hey Rowdee .. maybe if you call the airport before hand you may be able to work something out

When we sent mom off to my sister's in AZ we were afraid to just drop her off at the door for fear she would never find her way around and miss her flight

My brother in-law called ahead of time and the airport was very nice about it .. they even got one of those carts to take her where she needed to go and she didn't miss her flight

And she sets of the alarms with her metal hip ..

Don't know what the airports around you are like, but ou can give it a try

Be Back in a bit .

Oh....I know all the rigamarole....he's been flying back there for years....last year, he flew out on the 17th of September.

We are 3 hours from the airport, and to get there 2 - 4 hours ahead of departure times means getting up really, really early.

The airport entrance is blocked off from parked cars some 300 yards or whatever--and parking sucked before. I can drop him and the luggage off at the sidewalk and then go find someplace to park. Last time, we were fortunate an officer walked by and asked him he he wanted a wheelchair to sit in while waiting for me to return. I couldn't go get a chair because of the signs posted NOT to leave cars as well as the PA system blurting out the same message.

It was all the garbage of the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing while trying to check in and get thru the metal detection area.

Frankly, I am not going to sit in an airport for 4 hours twiddling my thumbs! You can't knit or crochet, you can't clean your fingernails, you can only read PC materials, and if you act too interested in whats going on, you're suspected of something! LOL.....besides, you don't know from one jerk to the next whether you can actually escort the person to the gate area--and the first time someone tries to 'feel me up and down', I'd be arrested for providing the idiot with a knuckle sandwich!

I'll have to do all the calling and crap for Dad, and then explain it or write it out so he can understand it and then he can decide if he wants to do it on his own. I can get him there and in the building to the first checkin and to the metal security check area, but from there on, he'd be at the mercy of the airlines, who have done a good job of having someone push the wheelchair through the gate area to board the plane, help with plane changes at SLC or Denver, etc.

Her face is pudgy.... and she may as well just have surgery instead of wearing fake boobies. Chelsea is living quite the glamorous/privileged life - attending the French Open tennis matches. I still don't this qualifies her as one of "the beautiful people" despite Vanity Fair's declaration that she's a sex symbol.

[Mo1]

SHE IS A DOG FACE WENCH!!!

[ValerieUSA]

Her boyfriend in pink is pretty.

[Mo1]

Have you noticed .. they could pass for brother and sister

It is possible

[ValerieUSA]

Other than the dopey hat I don't think they resemble each other at all. But I suppose it is possible -- is his mother a soccer mom?

[Mo1]

Don't know about his mom ..

"...and once more we still don't have our tag boxes"

Ain't it a shame ? We miss our fun little tag lines and want them back .... :(

[Darlin']

Heey Valerie, Yes, indeed, grand. LOL. Dontcha love it ... Célébrez la différence. :)

Ratty, as unbelievable as it may seem a sorry tale of just such a brutality was posted on this thread once. It was so unspeakably vile, repulsive and inexcusable that we were sickened by the report.

[Darlin']

Swerve, I'm stuck by the irony of a few names in today's Belmont Stakes, a NY race. ... War Emblem, Proud Citizen, Like a Hero and Essence of Dubai LOL. Could we have the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in '78 this afternoon ?

I think War Emblem is a pretty thing. :) Look at his delicate ankles.

[Darlin']

Hi Y'all. Do I have a Saturday afternoon funkle going ? . LOL

It's overcast here today, rain is expected within the next hour or so. Isolated thunderstorms over on the coast. *sigh*. Grrrr.
