It took AAA more than 2 hours to get to me so I could have. However, we were in a rather not scenic part of Georgia, to put it charitably.

What happened to it? Is it too expensive to fix?

Been sitting at O'Hare for about 4 hours now. Didn't make standby for the earlier flight. And damn is AT&T horrible in this airport.

Stuck on the m-f'ing tarmac at O'Hare. Storms have all flights eastbound frozen. Just stuck here on the plane. 22 hours now since I left the hotel and still counting...

Silver lining is that the **** and shower when I finally get home should be epic.

But, doesn't every 19-year-old make stupid decisions? What is probably not helping matters is that her dad was optimistic. We estimated she had 2 years to live, tops, based on our casual research, but he kept talking about recovery. Kinda hard to work mortality statistics into THAT conversation, and after a while you start to believe with him, or at least you want to.
Again--I don't know what to say. It's just supremely depressing. I know I don't have to say this to a guy like you, but offer the most support you can to her dad.

What pisses you off here? The thesis of that pamphlet or the pamphlet itself?

I have a friend whose sister died in a plane crash more than a decade ago. You would not believe the effects that it is had on the mother.
