I stopped flying United over a decade ago after so many fiascos with being stranded after delays and cancellations and them not giving a flying f about getting you home.

 

I used to fly United, between SF)-LAX and AKL. My son was working in IT in California. Then, they stopped flying to NZ. It used to be good, buy an economy and upgrade to Business with points. NZ, being miles from anywhere was great for racking up points.

After that, to fly United I would have to fly them to Sydney, and find another flight cross Tasman. Right, I want to fly 7 hours out of my way, catch another flight on a different airline, and fly 7 hours home.

 

I used up my last points and switched to Air NZ. Way better. Way.

Chipotle makes me feel like the dog does.  I eat so healthy now I cant eat out unless its like thai or something where the food is super fresh.  I bet mcdonalds would make me puke

Did you try calling the bank to tell them to refuse payment? I did that on one occasion.

The news is nonstop 20 year anniversary of the flood of '97.

 

It flooded, we get it.

 

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

This is seriously more coverage for the flood of '97 than there would be in New York for a 9/11 anniversary and NO ONE DIED.

So I go to BJs this morning to get a price adjustment. No problemo, they refund me Many bucks. Easy. 

Then I drop Many shopping....

These wholesale clubs sure know how to get you...

What are you complaining about, huh man?  $Many is less than $Many,  man.

Second boy was like this well is still like this to this day but at least I don't need to watch him. If he would stay home and not go to the gym on his mornings off I'd let him watch the boy. 

Finally giving birth to your twins, Manylets, or Manyruplets would take your mind off of all this, D ma'am.

That United thing has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen a company do.

Typical of their customer-disservice philosophy & actions, sigh man.

it's a popular expression/rhyme. that we use when someone is saying something you don't want to hear.

That sounds dirty for something supposed to make me clean. I think my brother did get his mouth washed with soap once! I'd so be that type of parent.

One week until Cuba. Still figuring out what I want to do while I'm there, but I'm excited.

Working a lot helps, it distracts me from missing my husband an unbearable amount.

Also we have it in a way that we see each other a few days every 2-3 months. Not ideal, but way better than nothing.
