i am very sad to report that american airlines has downgraded to single-ply bath tissue. so, basically, i'm paying upwards of $500 per flight to be offered bath tissue that is slightly softer than sandpaper!!! oh, this will require a letter.

flight 1359
So this is a new one.
We're all buckled in, ready to taxi down the runway and the pilot comes on and says, as he stops the plane, "my cell phone indicator shows that there are still a few phones in use. They must be turned off."
A flight attendant walked the aisle, seemingly looking for violators. Guy sitting across from me said that he was on a flight a couple of weeks ago on which the pilot did the same thing, except with seat belts. Pretty decent "technology" considering they can't make an airplane lavatory not smell like ass.

condoms
i found out from my uncle, who is a pharmacist, that your doctor can write you a script for CONDOMS. 36 per rx.
the teeny chain for which he works goes through 200-300 / dz. condoms per month. i love living in a blue state. ;-)

yams
i was assigned yams for thanksgiving.
i hate yams.
therefore, i have never made yams.
a few people i consulted with about said yams advised to get the canned version, dump them in a baking dish, cover with marshmallows and bake.
i couldn't do it.
i made them entirely from scratch; sans the marshmallows.
i cooked the yams in orange and pineapple juice. mashed them. mixed in all of the goodies and then made the topping. i'll have to bake them tomorrow at my dad's or i'm afraid they'll taste like ass.
on a side note, it would take an american to make a root vegetable as unhealthy as the yams in my 'frig are right now. same goes for green bean casserole with mushroom soup.

conference call etiquette
if you've dialed into a conference call ... and you're at the airport ... please utilize the "mute" button unless you're speaking. no one wants to compete with gary the gate agent for the floor.

DANGER
i'd never questioned eating homemade food at a potluck. ever.
until friday when my cousin indicated that he won't eat homemade food (from strangers) because you have no idea how clean their kitchen is or if they have rodents, etc.
very good point. i'm off of potlucks. although i can't remember the last time i was involved with one ... but it's a good rule just in case.

while i was in arizona this weekend ...
i got the following two texts from my lovely husband and dog. they came in at 2 am this morning. omg.
the following are actual copies of the original texts.
Minor chaos here...the black and white cat apparently snuck in the doggie door and surprised Lola, a minor chase ensued... Across the top of the bar! Lola has a little scratch on her nose, and is VERY full of herself for defending the family turf! Lost a bottle of apple scnapps and the last of the Jim Beam... - cleaned up the glass but it smells like a bar on the porch.
Cornered the cat with the broom, picked it up with lola's "grandma blanket" and put it outside, it was up and over the wall in a flash!! Love ya talk to you in the morning

if the residence inn in grapevine texas is not going to provide a luggage rack for my convenience ... i will have to make do.
in this case, i have reappropriated the coffee table as a luggage rack. i'm happy. everybody's happy.

the reign of tyranny is over!!!!
