Shrift and I got rescreened in Panama connecting back from Ecuador, when we literally went from arrival gate to the gate 50 feet away. Which was a giant PITA because of liquor bought at duty free in Quito that suddenly couldn't reboard with us.
In Heathrow I had to go through immigration control because I was changing terminals on my way to Ireland. I was a little incredulous the whole time. "I have to fill out this form?" "You're stamping my passport?" So last year when I flew from Dublin into Heathrow, I was so confused when I didn't have to go through customs/immigration at all.
Look, you're not going to do worse with the wedding gifts than the incredibly racist mammy cookie jar we received, so...
Timelies all!
I don't think we got anything particularly terrible as a wedding gift. Pointless, maybe(who needs a Lenox china menorah?), but not terrible. The bowl sounds nice.
I feel like I've heard this story before and then blocked it out.
oh dear, Liese!
Burrell, I think it was you that recommended TJ's Greens Beans & Grains? I'm trying it for lunch today - nom!

I had the craziest call at the end of the day with someone who I think just lost it, but really sounded like she had been drinking. She has apparently HAD IT with her job.

My ex-fiance's mother had a huge collection of such memorabilia. Everything from Mammy cookie jars to Little Black Sambo advertising tins, and it was displayed all over the house, as if it was just freaking fine and a normal sort of thing to collect. She thought that because I was from the South I would enjoy her collection. It was my first clue as to what an awful person she was. (She really was.)
