thanks for the nice card susy..!!   all is well...just taking things ...e a s y...LOL    >>calamity is nothing new to me  ...aside from all the misfortune ..things are quite normal...although in my travels i have noticed that flight attendants have been getting more rude by the flight/especially the "weird" male ones...glad i didnt drop any change...hahaha...not to mention the "delicious" food...NOT..!!  its no secret..i dont like flying...but unless they open the doors to "area 51"  we are all stuck with long conventional flights...now ,if i can just better negotiate those revolving doors...LOL   >>i was in such a stupor by the time the door snugged me in her grasp all i could do is laugh in that "sleepy awake just get me the hell  home" mode and the security officer was showing much restraint in trying not to laugh but im sure has seen it all before...or not??...
