I refuse to check (not worried about lost luggage, but if you connect to or from the midwest in summer you have to be flexible), and I'm returning home this afternoon... Helloooooooo FedEx. Took my toiletry-kit, dropped it into an overnight box to be delivered at my home tomorrow morning. I can survive that long (and to the one posters point... I did end up in the hospital a few years ago with a 34% chance of dying as a result of an infection of a psoriasis patch).
But come on Folks... get real.... the initial estimate was that this ban is going to last 12-72 hours!! Now we all know that it'll be longer than that... but it's not like we have to live with this forever. get the real story, ALL OF IT, before you go flying off the handle.
Oh.... just rememered the Ink for my pen... got plenty at home, so I'm now headed to the mens-room to dump what's in my travelling ink-pot.
Cheers!
