Be a Kind Neurotic Christmas Shopper

With only 9 days left people get a little crazy, frazzled and just down-right mean when they are shopping for the last-minute treasures for their family, friends, co-workers or that last White Elephant/Ugly Christmas Sweater party that folks have to attend. So before you go out after work or this weekend people do me (and the rest of the world) take 10 minutes and MAKE A LIST so you know what you are getting and 1) don't over spend, 2) minimize your time on the road, stuck in traffic, in parking lots and in the stores and 3) don't forget anyone.

Airport Etiquette, Part 5 - Check-In

I realize that some of you who may not travel a lot do not know the rules, but I have consulted some of my frequent traveling friends and they agree with me so this isn't just me on my soap box this time... Note to all passengers, when there is an open kiosk in the Southwest check-in line and you are next in line please approach the empty kiosk and check-in like a good passenger should. If you want to be a Good Samaritan and the persons or people in front of you are sitting there staring into space or contemplating how awful this meeting is going to be that they are going to…gently remind them there is a kiosk open. If a gentle reminder isn’t working then use whatever extreme force is allowed by TSA.
