@TFIupdates The first one (#15) was supposed to leave at 7:59. Then I believe there was a 14 and two 15s. I know it was 4 buses altogether.

@eebair Hi Emily, thank you for your message. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Can you please confirm the times the bus was due and we can look into this further. Regards, TFI.

@TFIupdates Four buses (routes 15 & 14) just went by stop 1069 at the Swan Centre without stopping bc they were full. Now I’m having to take a taxi and may miss my train!

@esaumccaulley I really appreciate this, Esau. @threadreaderapp unroll

@kevinmnye1 Congratulations!!!!

@NWCarpenter I’m just so over the moon thrilled for you both, my friend.

Belated sermon fodder question: When was a time when someone surprised you (or you surprised someone else!) by saying yes to something totally unexpectedly, or that was a long-shot of an ask?

@TheSassyBirdie These stories make me so happy.

@eebair Another big thing is if we’re going somewhere and I want to stop along the way to do something that just I want to do he says of course and stops and never ever grumbles about it. He’s happy that I’m enjoying something. This is SO different than anything I’m used to.

@TheSassyBirdie I love this so much! Any particularly good story that stands out to you?

@eebair Honestly, it’s all the time with Wes. I am still shocked at what it’s like to be married to a loving, mature, unselfish, giving, godly man.

@courtneyellis True facts.

@eebair To be fair, sometimes Shakespeare tortures people.

Who are two famous people you mix up even though they have little in common? My brain is convinced that Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson are the same person.

@vagentleman2 You’re so kind to ask! Feeling less itchy and started on a course of steroids so I should be feeling better (albeit hungry and sleepless) soon. 🙂

@eebair How are you feeling today?

Two days ago, I broke out on hives all over my face and neck, and they haven’t gotten any better. They respond slightly to Claritin & Benadryl, but not much. I can’t identify any other allergic triggers. Would be grateful for any insight before I scratch my face off…

@hoopersnook @AymieJoi Thanks--those are good ideas. I'm starting with my dermatologist tomorrow, since I already have one of those (don't have an allergist or rheumatologist). Will see where to go from there!

@AymieJoi You might try an allergist or rheumatologist if possible @eebair? Or see if there’s a LC study nearby you can get into?

@vagentleman2 Definitely staying away from the ER! And have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.

@eebair Don't go to the ER unless it's absolutely necessary. The one where I work has been very busy since the holidays, plus you might get exposed to other bugs. I'm wondering if something else is going on in your case, although you may have picked up a different strain. (2/2)

A little hesitant to ask, but l*ng c*vid question: Has anyone else experienced (or heard of) a recurrence of hives months after a covid infection? I had a very mild case of covid back in the fall (my first), but I did have hives that would come and go for several weeks. (1/2)

@SarahECozart I’m so sorry, Sarah. What a beautiful legacy he leaves. Praying for you and your family as you grieve.

@wendellkmusic @AmericanAir I know it’s first-world problems. But seriously. Do better, AA.

@eebair @AmericanAir Feel ya

Before you book on @AmericanAir, know that if you pay for a class of service that includes seat selection but that flight is operated by a codeshare partner, the other airline can charge you for seat selection & AA will tell you there’s “absolutely nothing they can do about it.”

@AmericanAir Then you shouldn’t advertise that as a feature of that class of service. You know which codeshare partners charge and which don’t. It shouldn’t be a feature on flights operated by partners that charge. Or you should negotiate codeshare contracts that provide equal service.

@eebair Please keep in mind, during the booking process it states that seat fees may apply for flights operated by other airlines. We always want to ensure you understand the rules of the fare before making the purchase.

@30roland30 Ugh — so sorry! Hope you feel better soon!

On the first day of Christmas my workplace gave to me … I was blessed with a really good Christmas bonus, but the additional bonus is meh. Cannot recommend.
