I always forget just how close my brother's house is to IAD. We left his place at 6:15am, and I was rolling my luggage into the terminal at 6:30am. The airport wasn't too busy, but with the new-ish terminal and security screening area, it's not exactly set up for an expedited check-in/get-to-your-boarding-gate process. However, I will say that the new terminal trains are kind of cool.

Oh... And there's a Chipotle in Terminal B that serves breakfast tacos and burritos, as well as Jack's Stir-Brewed Coffee.

And there's free WiFi in the terminal too.

I think I will go shopping today since it is Monday.

My sister says that her new computer is too slow to do her work on, so she is bringing it back to me. So I will have a very nice computer.....if mine dies. OR if someone in the family happens to need it.

Sugarfoot the Monarch Butterfly is very happy living in a birdcage at Molly's house. She was taken outside yesterday where she flew about 5 feet and then turned around and came back and landed on Molly's arm.

She eats mashed fruit and jam and sugar water and likes to listen to music.

DR JRand - Did you sister have a "new-new" computer? Or a "new-gently used" computer? Is she going to buy another newer and faster computer now?

And her turn-offs would be...?

And...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sleeping during most of this flight.

Just sayin'.

Laura · « **Reply #42 on:** November 07, 2011, 05:20:52 AM »

I was just thinking about the butterfly, JRand. I'm glad Sugarfoot has a home. Mexico is a loooong ways away and it sounds like she wouldn't survive long in the wild.

They're about to start boarding my flight, so...

Laters...

It's quit raining (but I hope we'll get more), so this will be a good time for Sugar to take me for a walk.

VIBES to everyone- because we all need them for something or other!

Best Buy have announced their closure in the UK. They opened 11 stores in the UK a few years ago but have been struggling. There's a store not far from me but I've never been impressed with it. The range of product and prices are no better than what we have in other stores. I don't know how the UK stores compare with their U.S. ones but they never seemed to have any bargains.

I went into one last week and I could understand why the chain is threatened. Service was terrible and the prices were only so-so.

Woke up to find that DC Daisy had vomitted a hairball (again) on the duvet (known as a comforter in the US I believe). More laundry to be done after yesterday's session!

Must be something in the air--DD Beegee threw up last night. It was definitely not a hairball, though.

BK, as someone who "dealt" with Qwest's internet incompetence for several years, all I can tell you is, look for alternatives for Time Warner. No one was more resistant to change than I was, but the kids convinced me to switch to Comcast and it was relatively effortless, service (and speed--wow!) is much better. There have to be options down there, Time Warner can't be the only ISP in your neck of the woods.

This morning I finally have my doctor's appointment. It's actually my routine blood draw but I'm hoping he can shed some light on why I still have this fershluggunah "cold" after five weeks. My hunch is I have or had walking pneumonia. We shall see.

As much as I love him, methinks David Raksin was having minor epileptic seizures when he wrote BEN CASEY. Perhaps he was also clad as a nun.

Difficult because I'm not really into comedies (I'm obviously a grouch). Filtering my DVD Profiler I find:

Death Becomes Her
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Le Diner de Cons
Mars Attacks!

DR Laura - I used to love celebrating Guy Fawkes Night (or bonfire night as we used to call it) when younger but it's not something I usually celebrate now. In the past it was very common for just about every house to have bonfires and fireworks in their gardens (sorry - yards!) but bonfires are discouraged nowadays so people tend to go to public firework displays instead. Although there's been a decline in celebrating Guy Fawkes, the opposite has happened with Halloween which is a big event nowadays, yet when I was young, Halloween was hardly celebrated at all.

Laura · « **Reply #55 on:** November 07, 2011, 07:43:52 AM »

Thanks, Doug. Do you do picnics or cookouts or anything like that? Or just the bonfire/fireworks?

Laura · « **Reply #56 on:** November 07, 2011, 07:54:37 AM »

And Halloween seems to be a season here too, now. Not just a day, like when I was a kid.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #57 on:** November 07, 2011, 08:25:00 AM »

I recommend COMCAST. It has been the only service I have used (with the exception of 8 months of Freeweb when I first got my computer in 1998 - it was a free dial up service that everyone in my family was using).

Jrand73 · « **Reply #58 on:** November 07, 2011, 08:25:14 AM »
