      Foray was great. Listening to XM Radio Classics she's in the cast of seemingly half the radio shows ever aired. When she was young she also looked amazingly like my aunt (who is still alive at 93).

        Suicide is not a tragedy to be romanticized. It's just the drag act of a selfish fool who doesn't care about anyone else because they're so sniff unhappy. F-ck them.
        Probably way too late to the party to chime in; I know personally of at least two suicides that were the result of organic brain damage. You speak as if the person's mind were working properly and they made a rational decision; and that is not always the case. "unhappy" doesn't begin to describe a situation in which neurons are misfiring.

            Severe brain injury / brain chemistry related suicides are a different story. That's not having a choice at all.

              There are round trips to europe out there right this minute for 350 dollars, so maybe the figure ought to be about 3500. Just saying.

                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  Sure - mostly on airlines you couldn't pay me to fly, and not during the peak Christmas season.

                  Do YOU want to shoehorn yourself into a sardine-configured 737-800 (189 pax in one-class layout!) for a 6-8 hour flight staffed by contractors from a third-party agency? Be my guest and fly NAS.

                  Yeah, I remember hearing DL had a big sale to Scandinavia from MSP, because of the local ethnic background.

                      I looked at the cost of business class for my flight to Munich. Work isn't going to fork over $10k-$12k for a ticket. And I sure as hell wouldn't.

                        If we could have flown with an upgrade to/from Bangkok for anywhere close to the $1300 per we paid for Economy the last time we flew from MSP I'd have been all over it, but when we flew it was closer to $4k each. Nope.

                                Yeah, I know. The sand is kind of eroding under me. Let's say I believe what I believe and it's irrational and logically indefensible. It's like I'm a Republican on this one issue.
