... close. They thought it was one girl, whose photo did look photoshopped, and began harassing her on her wall. Then they found another girl and started bugging her. I actually contacted both of them on my Netcrimes FB account to let them know to just ignore, delete and block these kids. Both girls were grateful and thanked me.

RIP Bandit Bear

Things that stick in my craw. . .air travel edition

The past couple of months, I spent a LOT of time in airports and on planes. These are the things that stick in my craw about air travel. . . Airlines - get your frelling act together! Either charge everyone for everything or stop charging extra for what used to be free. US Airways, on the first leg of one of my flights, was charging for *everything* including water, coffee, tea, sodas, juice ...
