It doesn’t have to be routinely overcast, it only has to be cloudy or rainy for a few hours on a given day to ruin this trip. Clear skies for all the days around it mean nothing if you miss the actual event.

Really? Because I live in one of the five biggest cities in the country and its virtually impossible to book on any other airline. Yes, technically they have flights here — but not many, and with inconvenient routes and times and generally more expensive.

Yup. I tend to agree.

It’s practically a disability. His system is very fragile.

They want him in office for as long as he’s useful to them. The more exposed he is as their pawn — and an incomptent one at that -- the less useful he is.

Do you think they’ll just broadcast it on RT one day? Leak it to Wikileaks? TMZ? Sell it to the Clinton Foundation so she can have the honors? The possibilities are endless!

I considered it, but we have MiniMinkoff ... it’s a tough call.

Fairly healthy, not crazily so. Lots of lean protein and fruit, carbs, but not to excess. Glass of wine at night, maybe some ice cream. I should eat more veggies than I do.

My husband is a wadder. I have never looked at him the same way since he told me.

Some of us are what Mr. Minkoff refers to as “clean droppers, like a cat.”

Thx. He was awesome.

This I can get behind.

You can feel sorry for a person that they were abused, as he most certainly was, and still acknowledge that they failed the basic humanity test when it was their turn. He had a choice to do the right thing and he didn’t.

He was likely adopted solely for the purpose of being abused, yes. But as an adult, he had a choice to not be a monster and he said, “nah.”

I read that article too (or a similar one on the same topic) — it was profound and disturbing.

Your responses, which mostly boil down to “nu-uh!”

Do you know what you’re talking about? Because based on your other responses, I really don’t think you do. Like, not at all.

Yup. And people seem to think that only VIPs do a lot of business travel which is not neccessarily true. The job where I did the most biz travel was my first job out of college (but after I had been there about 3 years) I was making a whopping a $28k, and like you, got reimbursed for some expenses, but not all.

If you want to be pedantic, no, it wasn’t the process of privatiaztion, but the fact that they ARE private and face little regulation on the business side which allowed them to uber-consolidate and now we have little real competition.

Same. Sure, they’ve already murdered children and shown cannibal cults but killing the tiger would be Harambe 2.0.
