Southwest has made a Statement about the Incident, which they are very Sorry about. ״Our corporate Culture is built on a tenet of treating others with concern and dignity and the comments are inconsistent with the professional behavior and overall respect that we require from our Employees, This situation was an isolated incident involving a single Employee and not representative of the nearly 60,000 hardworking, respectful People of Southwest Airlines."

I‘m so sorry. I never had the chance to meet him, but he worked hard to run this board, and my life is better for it. RIP.

I thought it was pretty funny, though pilots are not supposed to chit chat before the plane reaches 10K feet. I wonder what happened on the ground that prompted this. Mask rules? Got rejected by someone who drives a Hyundai? The interviews with earnest passengers are funny too.

Both would have made me angry. The second one is worse because you made a special effort to hold the door instead of being on your way.

Taking glasses off to kiss is a huge turn on.

There’s almost no limit as to how late women can give birth using a transferred embryo and hormones. (Of course, risks skyrocket after a certain point.) I can’t imagine a spontaneous pregnancy happening that late. Maybe at 45. Of course, for men, the sky’s the limit. But again, risks of certain problems increase after 40.

Investment banking analyst for a rough shop. I had a (usually shared) window office, and the firm subsidized crazy expenses to keep us working. But it wasn’t worth the perks.

I’m entirely on iOS but was considering switching to 1Password. Is it worth the cost?

Just wanted to throw in another word of thanks for @Cooper for his work on this.

Wishing Daddy the very best as he fights COVID.

I‘d hire a Lyft. Hitler and Pol Pot hate Uber.

I agree 100 percent with Lookin. For Mayo, you could call financial services and see if they could reduce the cost of a consult. Have you tried calling the doctor’s office and trying to get the appointment moved up. You could explain the situation and ask them to talk to the doctor directly. They should be able to squeeze you in early this week. I think an advocate is a great idea. You could even conference someone in virtually.

I am really sorry to hear about the insurance, Tyro. This is a long shot, but do you qualify for Medicaid?

@tyro You’re in the Midwest, right? How is your insurance? Could you ask your doctor refer you to someone at Mayo who is doing cutting edge work? Being assertive with medical staff is difficult in the best of times and more so when you’re worried and not feeling your best. But it’s often the best way to get results.

I wondered about this too.

So glad to see yo again, Tyro. I sometimes wondered where you had gone. I’m very sorry to hear about the scans. I will be thinking of you as you see your doctors. You are smart and educated, which will help a great deal.

Purell foam

I come from a family of non-drinkers. There were little bottles of airline liqueur at home but no one drank them. Bottles wine etc. sat around for years, untouched. We were allowed to drink red wine on holidays if we wished, but I found the taste repulsive.

This isnt limited to escorts. Remember when social media was awash with pleas to buy gift cards so that restaurants could survive? One fancy place around here promoted its pick-up-only, $130 per person Valentine’s Day dinners. They noted that ”our website’s payment system does not accept gift cards.” This was on their own site, not on a delivery service. The special V-day items were still available the following week.

‘Have you tried the 3M 9205? I agree with you about the KN95, but the N95 fits better, so I use it for anything remotely risky.

How much time ya got?

A lawyer in Texas had trouble turning off his cat filter on Zoom. The judge, the Hon. Roy Ferguson. He’s tech savvy and taught the young (and older) lawyers to use Zoom early in the pandemic.

Did you charm her in any particular way, or was she just taken by your handsome countenance?

That sounds kind of sexy.
