Lightweight but fun things to do while on a bus? I'll bring a book, but in case of motion sickness... -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 12:49 23
- Re sunblock - do you have any place reliable you can send a package to down there? - the liioulu with bears Jan 18, 13:12 1
  - I'm not spending enough time in each place, enough to wait for a package. I think I'll just get it at the Cancun Walmart. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 13:16
- Serious answer, if you get on the bus first before anyone else comes on, bring a live chicken with you and throw it under one of the seats. Then on - Loyola Jan 18, 12:53 6 1
  - What if you have to kill the chicken to keep from being discovered by the enemy? -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 13:09

    - they're not going to rob her because she's a smallish college-aged tourist, they're going to do it because of the Game Boy? -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:53 2
      - more or less. if you're seen with fancy gadgets, that makes you more of a target than a hippy with a tattered novella -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:54 1
        
        Maybe if she rubs some mud on it and scratches it up a bit it won't look so fancy and they'll leave her alone... -- nm - Stephen Jan 18, 12:57
    - pfft. Robbed? In Mexico? When has THAT ever happened? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:53
- do you like sudoku? or crosswords? - Guy Jan 18, 12:51
- Probably not in the budget, but my GBA was the friggin best on my Europe trip. A DS would have been even better. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:50

  - You're getting Pippy to do your work? -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 18, 12:55
  - Sort of slacktivism. That's an actual term too according to the internet. -- nm - Loyola Jan 18, 12:54
- did we already see that the credit card companies are waiving fees after coming under fire? -- (link) - Guy Jan 18, 12:48
- If he'd done it last week, he would have captured lots of donations that probably would have gotten made anyway. - TFox Jan 18, 12:46 8
  - also, haiti will need money for years. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:47 7
    - not that it didn't already. Maybe Canada should just buy them? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:48 6
      - Why? It hasn't even stepped up to buy Turks & Caicos -- nm - Roger More Jan 18, 12:50 3

      - Seward's Folly 2: Haitian Boogaloo -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:48
- Pretty sure they were successful raising money in the same manner for the tsunami. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 18, 12:46 1
  - yes. no worries about more being given. -- nm - b. Jan 18, 12:49
Damn Firehouse subs didn't give me a pickle. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 12:43

    - Which means he laughed more today than then. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:41
    - it was a long week -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:41 1
      - :) Actually, I just went and looked it up. I think I was misremembering, because I can't find the statement. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:42
- where is he? where is Jack? (let the rumors fly!) -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:39
TFox - I wasn't aware I was giving any parenting advice. - Guy Jan 18, 12:37
I'm here to tell you, honey, that I'm bad to the bone. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:36 1
- Oh, something wacky is about to happen involving a precocious child! -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:38
Hotkiss - did you check on bag size restrictions? i had to check my bag on the way to Guatemala - Guy Jan 18, 12:35 28
- also, i thought there was basically no carry-on on US flights these days? - Andie Jan 18, 12:38 27
  - also - things Hotkiss should have in her bag... - Andie Jan 18, 12:42 26

        "INFIDEL! How dare you cropdust me in my time of worship!?" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:48
        
        she should probably wear a turban, and grow a beard. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:48
      - Sure, I don't see a problem with that. --nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:46
      - hell no -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:46

    - oh and... - Andie Jan 18, 12:44
    - A flashlight also makes a handy weapon in a pinch. -- nm - Michael Westen Jan 18, 12:43 8
      - I have one of those magnetic-induction ones ... despite being plastic, it has some heft to it. And in a pinch, it can be used as a compass. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:45 7
        
        she really doesn't want to lug that around - trust me -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:46 6
        
        If she's going to be there for two months, maybe she'd want something that doesn't require charging? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:47 5
        
        you mean like... battery powered? - Guy Jan 18, 12:50 3
        
        yes, maybe batteries would be a hindrance, compared to self-contained. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:52 2
        
        when you have everything you're living off of for two months on your back, there are bigger concerns -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:53 1

  - I am always here to help. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:37
  - I say that, too. Since I inadvertantly made such a reference on B2 :( -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:37
- I know this is you, but really? No internal sensor went off there? -- nm - Stephen Jan 18, 12:36 5

      - I'll second that. -- nm - OAE Jan 18, 12:51
      - *sigh* - groiny Jan 18, 12:51 2
        
        but it's obvious you offended him, right? - TFox Jan 18, 12:52 1
        
        there is no schtick. - groiny Jan 18, 12:56
  - I jumped! nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:36 1
    - Apparently you also hit your head in mid-flight -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:36
- this is the hypothetical one still, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:34
Diagnosis....Murder! -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:34
I totally slammed my shoulder in the door of my DOO's car. I hate mustangs. My body just doesn't understand the motion required - amanda Jan 18, 12:34 3
- It appears to be the result of an equine corona virus. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:35 1
  - (Also, having been in a 2005 Mustang ... they're nice cars, but not 100% ergonomic. The goal seems to be to keep you in ... or out.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:36
- Start jumping through the window. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:34
