    Counting to ten (10).  SWMBO makes a purchase Thursday thru Sam's Club on line. I have not been in a Sam's store in over 20 years (personal) and never visited their website.  Turns out her CC is rejected, tries mine (I did not get a vote)-same story.  
    Hello today-my CC was hacked by a Sam's Club staffer (no liability on my part) so now I'm waiting for the new CC and then to fix the auto-pay accounts.

    My acceleration is fueled by the "Given your CC has never before been rejected, why did you think it was a great move to press on?"  The couch is a fine landing zone.  Happy Friday!

    Sitting at the airport after paying $75 overweight bag fee (11 lbs over, even though I had 2 free checked bags and only checked one), and throwing my $50 knife in the trash.  100% my fault, forgot I was carrying it as I was going through security.

    Also sitting in the only concourse in Harry Reid International Airport that doesn't have a Centurion lounge.  Getting between concourses requires a shuttle or a trip through security.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    Wow. How'd they see your overweight bag. Was someone peeking in the men's room?

    Still, I should talk, mine can fit in an overhead bin maybe a hundred times, and not once has anybody looked at it and thought it should be weighed for flight either. Did they make you take an aisle seat?

    Trust, but Verify.  Both Reagan and Gorbachev would have tried your CC too.

    50 lbs on the scale.  No margin for error.  Smuggling anything given the short stay??   B)
    Must be LAS as here in L'ville, home of UPS Air, if that happens in the search line you are given an option to get your knife sent back to you courtesy of UPS.  The charge is $15, much less than the cost of a replacement blade but everyone who handles the package gets a cut as you well know.

    Cap that is a nice convenient offering. Too bad there are not lockers. They used to have them in the train stations in Chicago until organized crime caught wind of Lester’s horse picking skills and spoiled it.  The full story at the link below. Sorry to hear about your CC hiccup. Happy Friday everyone.

    "Both Reagan and Gorbachev would have tried your CC too"

    Tried the CC for what? It didn't do anything. It was merely a pawn in the whole scheme. Everybody always wants to blame the plastic. Listen, the plastic, especially the little ones .. the so called micro plastics .. are innocent, totally innocent. They were manipulated into random shapes, they would never have chosen for themselves (you can find the most unfortunate ones if you search on the dark web for tubular and bedroom) then filled with various things to be used by humans, sometimes in awful ways .. (see tubular based comment above)  sorta wantonly, and then discarded. You would have them tried.

    Reagan wore rouge on the sides of his face
    A nice howdie doodie red
    Gorbachev coulda used more than a trace
    To cover that thing on his head

    They did not offer that, he pointed to the trash can.  I didn't really press the matter.  Looking on TSA website they say they have shipping materials.  This location did not offer it.  Said trash can.  Luckily, it was a specific one I use when loosing it or damaging it is a real possibility.  It has been lost, found, chips worked out, and the tip reshaped after snapping it.  Not a tremendous loss, but having to just throw a perfectly servicable knife in the trash hurt.

    Once I went through TSA with a shillelagh in my pants. Nobody said a damned thing and I'm not even Irish. I could have probably gotten two or three shillelaghs in my pants. Actually it'd probably be more effective if I have five shillelagh's in my pants, because then they'll fit like a glove, and the whole thing will be less obvious.

    What problem are you looking to solve?
    You're retired so you can get up and walk away from your desk anytime you want/need. :)
    If you are trying to keep yourself from sitting in front of your pc all day I suggest you install a free little app that basically kicks you off your computer at specified time intervals so that you get up, walk around, stare at something not just two feet in front of your face, hit the head, make a sandwich, etc.
    I know how sometimes one goes down a rabbit hole and next thing you know you've been sitting at your pc for five hours... or more. :)
    I've been using a free little app called "Take A Break, Please" for many years. It allows you to set the time interval between breaks and the time allotted for the forced break period.
    Might be worth a try if that is at least part of what you want to accomplish.

    thinking of @ColbyLang
    This "train" is switching tracks and backing in to King Flour/King Mill.  Residents say they never see a train. My wife and I ended up here today in separate vehicles and each waited for the grain train.

    It's raining here again.  I'm thinking of those in drought stricken areas. I wish you could have it.  I don't need it.  I don't want it.  

    I do enjoy the thunder and lightning though!

    No doubt the stress of having to rule an entire country of people with bad teeth has started to wear on her.

    "Very much so.  Lucky to get a shot side on.  She's like a stick"

    The only way to know how much like a stick she is, is to throw her across the yard and see if the dog will bring her back or not. If the dog does bring her back, you'd still need to prove that she wasn't a tennis ball but you can do that by looking her all over for soft delicate fuzz. She looks pretty sporty, so I'm guessing you'll find that fuzz stuff on her somewhere.
