Like, GORDON got a dog?  Or is there another kid on the way?

Ever wonder why he's redoing his attic?

That's overkill for a dog, so I guess congratulations are in order.

So there's big changes going on round here.... my crazy mother-in-law is moving in because she didn't plan at all for her future and it is either she moves in here or she ends up on the streets.

If he were thinking long term, he'd put MIL in the new attic room and keep the wooden stairs smooth wood that's well polished.

That's what I would do.

Stairs?  I was going to go with an incline plane or sheer drop.

Well, you want the new room to be useful after.

I think the only way "forced" comes into it is if you're traveling across oceans.

I'm forced to fly like you were forced to pick up an additional member of your household.

1600 miles, Toledo to Yellowstone.  Drove it.

1100 miles Toledo to Disneyworld.  Drove it 3 times.

900 miles Toledo to Hot Springs, Arkansas, via Memphis.  Drove it.

Niagara Falls.  Topsail Island, NC.  More trips than I can remember.  Flying would have been a lot faster, but I wasn't forced.  

Money volunteered to airport TSA to violate my rights: zero.
Integrity status: intact.

The difference is if you don't drive 1100 miles to Disneyworld to see it, Disneyworld won't come to see you later on the in year to balance shit out.  Sure as hell ain't Disneyworld coming to see me, either.

I actually floated the idea of firemans' pole but was shot down.

I ALMOST got them (her) to agree to a slide to come down, but there were space issues.

TSA says...
QUOTE
The Transportation Security Administration says none of the 73 airport workers found to have unspecified ties to terrorism is actually a suspected terrorist or threat to aviation security.

That's funny.  Neither am I, but I still have to go through all your security bullshit, you spineless, worthless, liberty-violating, diseased pustules of human beings.

QUOTE
... the airport workers had terrorism-related activity codes associated with their names in a government terrorism database, and called them a "potential transportation security threat."

Suck a dick.  So potential threats warrant wiretaps and other illegal monitoring, but working for the TSA is fine.  Fucking retards.

I guess the line got too long today.  We got expedited.  Kept shoes on, laptop in bag, liquids inside, etc.  just the old fashioned metal detector, the end.  Was only a 15 minute or less wait, so not sure.

Dear god, man, they didn't search everyone's shoes and you made it out alive?!?!  Living fucking dangerously.  I'm waiting for the first terrorist to hide a bomb in his ass so all the TSA douchebags have to check there as well.

The legroom I got on the flight was amazing.  I could literally stretch my legs all the way out without even hitting the seat in front of me

They have not been removing shoes and belts or almost anything but bags on scanners in the Atlanta airport, it is a very recent thing, like sub-a-month. Makes the lines way better.
