Make sure you phone only rings where people have been drinking heavily.

If misery loves company mine called to say he got his first speeding ticket (and his car is in the garage). Not good for a criminal justice mgr with a year to go. (At least it was only for 43). I hope he can plead "just practicing".

There is some 100+ proof stuff in my building but I don't think it's really all that safe to drink.:p

What do you do if someone you only know online threatens suicide?

Does the situation change if you have personal contact details for them (name/address/phone)?

I guess I would notify the local authorities or crisis hotline and inform them of it.

Gold Passport Bonus Offers

Yeah! My hotels are all listed, so I must remember to ask them to add the bonus points.

I'm not doing mattress runs per se. We would need to stay in hotels in these places anyway, so I may as well make them Hyatts - and the prices are pretty reasonable for FL in Spring Break week. I just know that I will not have the opportunity to spend free nights before August 31, and am trying to amass points for next year to spend in Asia/India.

Well, the good news is that I'm not the only one dealing with this and it has gon up the chain of command, so to speak, so someone way above my pay grade is in touch with the appropriate authorities. The hard part is that I have had some direct conversations with the person (albeit all online/email/chat/etc.) and it has me a bit freaked out. I know I've done everything I can to try to help; now I just have to hope for the best. That's not a position I like being in.

Good that it is getting the attention it needs. Others' advice is sound. Alerting the local authorities to the situation is appropriate, especially if you know that the suicide threat has real potential to be carried out. This individual obviously needs support and care from qualified individuals. Let's hope they get it, and all turns out well.

Mine only comes with 3,000 points (G2, 1W, standard points and diamond bonus), continental breakfast, Portico toiletries, and half a night anywhere in the world.

I really need to make sure I am "up" on what I should be getting. Thanks for the info about the diamond service. Will look for "extra" attention when I check in! Not that it really matters that much, because we won't be spending a lot of time in the hotels.

She was a little. She is drugged up on morphine for dogs :-:

I am getting reports that she is getting back to normal now. I was not able to get out of work tonight, but I have someone comming in early. I was able to just work a half day.
