Southwest Airlines announced today that overweight people will now be asked to buy 2 seats!! The spokesman claimed that if you needed a seatbelt extender, then you had to pay for 2 seats. When I called the airline to make sure I heard it correctly, I was told that if you have to raise the seat arm to be comfortable, then you had to pay, but nothing about seat belt extenders.

The stupidity of this is that while my husband fits in the seat and needs a belt extender, my hips are wide enough that I often raise the arm.

BOYCOTT SOUTHWEST!!! This is blatant discrimination!
A really hard way to go under a bridge!!

A dictionary of British slang. I found it to be very helpful in translating an insult I heard on a talk show the other night. A lawyer called the host a "flannelmouth", and I found the definition on this site!

Look out, people! I have discovered the wonders of Blogger's FTP, BlogThis, and can now add web pages at will. So, there will be a lot more entries in this blog.
Here it is! Well, apparently InQuira is an enterprise software program that is selling itself for corporate use.

InQuira is a new natural language search engine. What I find interesting is that none of the articles I have seen so far give the URL of the site.
