Greetings. I need to hurry up and get this ready so I can start celebrating my "Today Is" day

Saturday's Questions:

-Do you go to costume parties?

-Have you been a passenger in a car that got pulled over for speeding?

-Ever been on an airline flight that had to divert to an airport other than the original destination airport?

-Have you or would you volunteer to be bumped off of an overbooked airline flight?

-Have you been stranded overnight at an airport because your flight was delayed or cancelled?

And finally...
-Have you missed a connecting flight because you first flight was late arriving?


Today Is:

Well that is all. I just learned how to turn on the keyboard backlight on my new computer. Now I can sit in the dark to come up with crappy questions.

Saturday's Questions:

-Do you go to costume parties?
No, I don't.
-Have you been a passenger in a car that got pulled over for speeding?
No, but I've been the driver. That was decades ago, though. I'm a good citizen now - most of the time.
-Ever been on an airline flight that had to divert to an airport other than the original destination airport?
Thank heaven, no. That would be a huge hassle.
-Have you or would you volunteer to be bumped off of an overbooked airline flight?
No, I've never done that.
-Have you been stranded overnight at an airport because your flight was delayed or cancelled?
So far I have been fortunate not to have been in that situation myself, but I know friends who have.
And finally...
-Have you missed a connecting flight because you first flight was late arriving?
No, I haven't.

Thanks, Mr. Mutt! Happy Cheap Beer and Pizza Day.

I remember having some close ones. Least favorite airport - Denver. My connecting flight was always at the farthest end of the airport from where I came in.

Thank you, Alaskan Mutt! Great questions as usual!

-Do you go to costume parties? I would - haven't been to one in several years though.

-Have you been a passenger in a car that got pulled over for speeding? No, sorry, just the driver - LOL

-Ever been on an airline flight that had to divert to an airport other than the original destination airport? Yes and it sucked.

-Have you or would you volunteer to be bumped off of an overbooked airline flight? No and no.

-Have you been stranded overnight at an airport because your flight was delayed or cancelled?

And finally...
-Have you missed a connecting flight because you first flight was late arriving? Yes. This happened to me recently in fact. I was supposed to catch a connecting flight in Atlanta but instead I ended up somewhere in Tennessee and of course missed my connecting flight. It was weather related.
