Jeebus...4 crashes at least since I've been in Paris...Air France in Canada, Air Italia, Helios, and now the one in Venezuela...I already don't like flying, especially over an ocean, but now I reallllly don't wanna on Thursday...sigh. BUT, nothing's stopping me from getting home...I gotta get out of this goddamn city. x(

7. Oh, I hate those damn things!
We had them in English class last semester, and I had to type my 5 page final on one, in under 2 hours! Can you say frustrating? Oy, that was hell. :hug:

2. Awwww. Look at the bright side. This is what I do. When a plane
crashes before I am about to fly, I take it as a good sign...because what are the odds of five planes crashing, really? I know the feeling. My return trip from D.C. is on one of those puddle jumper airlinks. You know, the ones that kept falling out of the sky in the 90's..and I am not delighted with it.

Poor progmom...stuck with me on that flight.

:hug: Safe trip home you hear?

4. Thanks
:hug:

I'm hoping all these crashes means that all the other pilots are being extra cautious and triple checking everything before they fly...here's to hoping! :toast:
