I did. So sad, and so scary.

Part of one of the engines reportedly broke loose. Struck the outer wall of the plane...breaking open a window. A woman passenger was sucked by the decompression into that window. Other passengers grabbed onto her and saved her life.

There was one person who lost their life. I saw the news report and I read a couple of online news stories. The passenger was taken to a nearby hospital and then died. I can't find any story as of yet that states any more details re. that tragic death.

Did. Awfully scary, specially the part where a person was almost sucked out of the plane via broken window. Despite keeping the person inside, still died because of injuries of the window exploding.

NAP TIMEEEEE!

From one stubborn person to another, at least make a note of it somewhere. If you end up at the doctor for something seemingly unrelated, or are busy living your life and forget about the crazy bites, it is good to have a reminder. That way if you are asked if anything happened in the last (fill in time frame), you can say oh yeah. Instead of me who usually says no, and then remembers later.

Done and done. Good idea!!

I missed this!! We normally have the news on at work but a new group moved in yesterday. They complained all day about it being Fox news, because it's trashy and unfair and all kinds of other things. But then when they finally changed it today they put in.... Wait for it...... Jerry Springer

So i missed all the news but saw some pole dancing and know some guy named Jared *IS* the father

That's terrible.

Ummmm.. for $99.99 this is one flimsy iron on decal.

Same stupid thing as T’s own soccer uniforms. All hand wash.. mostly because we can’t let the decal fall apart.
Whatever, it finally arrived and is in my hands, shorts are sold out everywhere in stores and online..so he got their ‘away’ uniform shorts. Birthday shopping completed!

Was just reading about the incident and watched the statement from the company's president. So tragic. But the crew must be praised, especially the pilot. It could have been a lot worse.

It was actually right twice for me: when I tore a ligament in my thumb, and when I had the flu. Thank goodness Dr. Google got me to an actual doctor both times.

I agree. You can't believe everything you read, but what I try to do is find a trend in the symptoms if I'm looking up something medical. Dr. Google has been helpful in many instances--a few times convincing me to go to the doctor for something or other.

 

[MinnieM123]

We should both stop that. Doctor Google only ever gives you bad news and anxiety. Stub your toe? You're dying of Ebola. Trip over a bookcase? You caught the Plague....

O.k. Stop putting it off. What you need is a competent team of doctors:

Ok all.. I may have salvaged T’s 8th birthday potential disappointment.

Here’s the plan-

Tonight - make Real Madrid jersey cookies for class, put T’s last name and “8” along with the Adidas symbol on each. Can’t do the Real Madrid crest.. maybe I could put it on the cookie bags?

Later tonight- fill his room with balloons and a happy birthday banner.

Tomorrow-

Hide behind his door then jump out and spray him with Silly String when he wakes up.
Too cruel?

Have a fancy donut with lots of marshmallows.. stick an “8” candle in it..have it lit sitting on the table with his presents when he comes downstairs.

After school- Pick him and 3 friends up (already told their parents) and surprise them with a 90 minute jump at a trampoline park.

Drop kids off. Go to soccer practice. Come home and do homework, have a giant cupcake waiting for desert.

Save a ‘family party’ for when my sister’s family comes back from Florida next week. I’ll make the soccer cake at that time.

How does that sound? Is it weird not to have a cake on your actual birthday?

Yikes . . . by the time you get all that done, he'll be 25!

 

[MinnieM123]

Love it! And no, it isn't weird. Some of those cupcakes are pretty elaborate, now. And you are pretty lucky you can send treats in to school. A few years ago, new rule no food. Before that, nothing that was made at home, had to be labeled. Now you can bring in something for your birthday, but nothing you would eat. So birthday pencils, stickers, that sort of thing is ok. At one point it was recommended to make a donation to the class library.

Oh yah, that's what every kid wants for his birthday present . . .

I watched some of the nightly news when I came home. What a freaking bizarre incident. The part that got me was the other passengers holding on to this woman, to keep her from being ejected out of the plane, while in flight??!!! OMG!

And as for the other passenger that died, he or she died at a hospital--haven't heard the reason why yet. Awful.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

No problem. You can just tell them you have a very important meeting, and come meet me at Chuy's!

I may take you up on this, I'll probably have to see them again at Christmas. I'll need reinforcements either through margaritas or eating myself into a nap.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Sympathy like. Looks like January and not the middle of April.

No kidding! I just a saw a meme that was posted on Facebook and it had a picture of snow and said something like It's the 96th of January, or something like that.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

And caught up. Sleeting outside now and I actually need to go out. Oh wait, it's snowing. Guess I will wait.

Yuck to sleet. I hope it has stopped for you. We actually had 41 today and it was very sunny. Hubs, Kapono and I had a nice walk. Oh, and tomorrow....snow. But probably only an inch, not too bad.
