billvon 3,031 #27 April 9, 2002 >I used to fret over missing flights, until one about a year an a half ago.Another reason I don't sweat it is that I came within about 20 minutes of getting bumped off a late night flight out of Boston last year, but ATC came through at the last minute and told us we could take off. If they had cancelled the flight, they would have put us on the first flight to LA the next morning, according to the flight attendant. The first flight out the next morning was American Airlines flight 11, on September 11, 2001.After that little bit of luck I'm willing to put up with a lot. Sort of a reverse karma thing.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #28 April 9, 2002 Ohmigod, Wildblue, you are adorable! (misinformed, but adorable nonetheless!)(No, GroundZero, don't worry, I know you weren't calling me a dog....and yes, tomorrow may be brighter - it almost couldn't get worse than today - nearly 15K walked out the door.....)O.K., after a meal and three glasses of wine (no beer at home, and I was not going to subject myself to the world to go get some - so I opened a bottle of pinot grigio instead....), a decent dinner, and a long soak in the tub, I am beginning to feel somewhat human again. I turned off the pager (which seems to be working fine now, thank you very much), and talked to a friend of mine - another realtor in the area. He is intrigued by my expression on my jump photos, so we are going to go to lunch, and I think I can talk him into a tandem....and yes, ladies, he is a good looking guy (not for me, though, so have at him) anyone jumpping at Perris this Sunday? I need a day in the sky. I just won't tell my Dr!!!!!!!Thanks everyone for the reassurances - and the encouragement. Today was a really tough one. But it's OVER now...."cosmic shithammer" is a really good addition to my vocabulary!Ciels and Pinks-MicheleIf you really want to, you can seize the day; if you really want to, you can fly away...~enya~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #35 April 9, 2002 Hi, Billy Quote So Michele why are ya willin ta pass up this guy anyway,,, just curious,, ????I work with him (he and I are sharing a listing right now, as a matter of fact), and I think it would make for odd moments at work....And there is no spark between us, either. Both good reasons, I figure. He's a sweetheart, though.

FallingILweenie 0 #36 April 9, 2002 I remember about 7 or 8 years ago, my family and I were heading back to Chile to visit and we were about to board a plane from Miami to Santiago and I saw the gate next to ours was a flight heading to Colombia an hr or two after ours left. When we got to Chile the next day (overnight flight) our relatives at the airport told us they worried for a bit cuz it turns out that an American Airlines plane from Miami to Colombia crashed into the side of a mountain after they misjudged the airport or something like that. I never found out for sure if it was that plane, but at the time we left Miami the airport was pretty deserted except for a few flights leaving then (it was like midnight) and that crash fit the flight time....I thought it was pretty creepy at the time.But i gotta say that just missing being on one of the planes that hit on Sept. 11th is creepy as hell....wow.blue skiesTomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
