    Just wanted to say I'll miss everyone this year

    I would like to request that someone please do a Kesha song at Karaoke for me

    Thank you

    I have a similar request but it is that someone screams Kokomo for me.

    I'm really paranoid about the TSA thing because of this stupid, unending shutdown. I was planning to leave my house by 7 AM for my 10:30 flight (takes at least an hour to get to the airport) but now I'm wondering if I should get there earlier.

    in leaving my place at 12 to get to the offsite parking shuttle at about 12:45 for my 3:20 flight

    but to be fair, i’d do that regardless of a shutdown because i’m always paranoid about flights

    Same

    My dad always teases me for arriving 2.5 - 3 hours early, but I've never had to sprint to my assigned gate as I anxiously look at the time.

    Besides, the only thing I'd do with that extra hour or two is look at my phone/computer, which I can do at the airport, too.

    I downloaded the MyTSA app since it gives you approximate waiting times. I'll see what it says tomorrow morning.

    Yeah... my normal level of pre-flight paranoia tends to get waiting at my gate at least 2 hours early, usually more like 3 or 4. This time, my flight leaves at 3PM and my brain spiders are whispering to me that I should get a hotel room next door to the airport so I can be there before sunrise.

    It doesn't help at all that I still haven't found an anxiety med strong enough to deal with my airplane fears that doesn't also give me stomach troubles to a degree that's untenable on a flight. If I want to deal with all my airplane-related decision making in a rational, calm, chemically-supported manner, I also get to become a portal to the fart dimension while I'm inside a sealed enclosure with a hundred strangers. It's a hell of a choice.

    Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

    Fortunately the Wichita airport is real small, they have just 1 TSA area with two lanes, and my flight is at 6:30 am, so thee probably won't be much delay.

    And friend is driving down in the evening, so worst case i can hitch a ride with him.

    I mean, last year or the year before, I got to the airport late due to traffic, but still managed to get through security and made boarding just in time.

    Not to add to everyone’s paranoia but uh.. at least a couple of airports, including Houston, have had to shut down terminals due to lack of staff, and some of these tweets mention up to hour and a half wait times at various airports.

    The good news is nobody should be needing to go through security in Houston.

    The bad news is you will have to go through security in airports that aren’t Houston and probably take even longer.

    (Both Houston airports are super efficient)

    The MyTSA app tells me there was a 45 minute wait/delay this morning.

    EDIT: But Monday is typically a busy day, Wednesdays doesn't look too bad.

    I have to assume your son can both lift 60 pounds and use a box cutter at this point, if you've raised him properly

    I understand if he can't use a ladder yet but that's gotta be why your wife is staying home

    Sure he can't climb one, but he can hold it steady for mom.

    This is definitely the hardest PAX to pack for, though I've never been to East.

    Let's see, high of 75F/24C on Thursday, storms Friday morning, wind Saturday, and then a clear day Sunday but with a high of 51F/11C and a low of 28F/-2C.

    Or maybe this is just normal weather everywhere else and I'm just soft from living in California for the past decade.

    I guess it's that time of year where I pop up and make empty promises about being more active this year.

    But also, is there a rough schedule of things people are planning somewhere in the thread? I uh have a baby now, so my time will be limited, but I want to be extra sure I make it to a few forum events/meals.

    Edit: I stopped being lazy and found the schedule. Looking forward to seeing your faces again! And sad to be missing others.
