Wasn't that on Amazon Prime for a while?

The last time a buddy of mine gave me a video to watch with that sort of admonition it featured various women and assorted 4 -legged critters...

Its like my happy balloon got deflated .....just a little bit :-(
Put her on a plane and meet her there. Pick her up at the airport.

A few years ago, sitting with my BIL and SIL and the women decided they wanted to go to Nashville on a vacation. BIL and I both said .." GREAT, we'll meet you there".. They flew and we rode, met them at the hotel.

Might be something along the lines of the "Bum Fights" stuff that was around for a while. Let us know how it goes.

Afternoon Al.


Sounds like me!


I hate flying. I mean I hate it with a passion. Not the flying itself, but all the bullshit you have to go through just to get in the air. Then the very last time I flew, we got moved off a flight we were supposed to be on because they had over-booked it. Pissed me off pretty bad.

The latest vacation my wife and her siblings want to go on together is to Belize. You can imagine the looks I got when I told them it was too far to ride.

I am the same way Tracy...flying is fine. Take off and landing are the only fun parts, everything else is boring, sit-on-your-*** dead time. It is the hassle of getting on board
