Or, quite possibly, they hallucinated him.

I only mean a little disrespect here. Thank god we are thinking of her more ways to buy things. I was really frustrated about the fact that I couldn’t buy another thing on my 15 min car ride! Is this really the world we want? Perhaps this system can be on the back of bathroom stall doors. I am equally captive there.

Now, why am I being moderately disrespectful? Because you clearly have an innovative mind, yet you use it on things like this. It just seems like we have some pretty substantial problems to solve, and maybe we can all just go to the store for our chips, and focus this effort on something more useful for us all..... like for instance, maybe make all rideshare vehicles recycle vessels..... or finding a way to keep assholes from sending me a thousand pieces of junk snail mail.

Since you are essentially setting up a situation where contestants are crowd-funding a restaurant for a new owner, would you mind sharing what your profit would be on the (at least) $900,000 you will receive if the contest fully vests? Please?

I have no doubt you worked your ass off to build such a place, and your story certainly sounds rough, but this last bit of info is what's keeping me from feeling either really good or really bad about this. As others have said, I definitely don't mind a competition if people willingly enter it knowing what they are getting into, but you've wrapped the whole thing up in a hard luck story that is clearly intended do drive support, and I feel like history has taught us things aren't always as they seem. To be clear, I don't at all doubt what you've been through, and please accept my sympathies on that, and you should be compensated for your hard work, but with the contest, honestly, something feels a bit off.

I've heard, but have not experienced, that the European airlines actually do have a tendency to go after people for the fare increase. American Airlines don't. Anyone experience this?

I had 5 intestinal surgeries where I was cut completely open, had colostomies/ileostomies, a month on the hospital, 2 months without food, etc etc., and the ng tube was the second worst part. Uggg, putting it in, especially when they can't thread it through was horrible. And you get through that to be rewarded with the constant scratchy throat. The only thing worse for me was the un-anesthetized probing of my back Dior on two many occasions. Geez, buy me dinner first people.

Dior was a typo but I'm leaving it in. Nice discovery.
