Day Whatever

[susandennis]

My knitting needles that I mailed to myself arrived yesterday so at least I have something to do while we sit around and chat or think or try to remember stuff.

I am going to take the needles back with me along with printouts from the airlines and federal gov. websites saying that knitting needles are safe. And I have a SASE just in case.

I checked my work email and got all frustrated by some of the messages. Stupid stupid. Drop it. You aren't there. I need to spend some time figuring out a strategy for dealing with these changes at work. This is a good time to give that some thought. I'm not due back until Tuesday so I've got time.

I left Mom with her crossword puzzle this morning and went to Walmart. Heaven. I love Walmart. My closet one at home is a good 45 minute drive. This one is 2 minutes from here. I only bought the hanging folders I went for but I sure got a kick out of wandering around and looking at stuff.

Off now to have lunch with the money ladies.

You could just check your needles. :)

Yeahbutt, I don't have any luggage. I wear different clothes at Mom's so I just leave them here until next time. All I have is my purse to take on the plane.

Ohhhhhh I gotcha...Well, but you could still box 'em up and check 'em through.

maybe a lot easier and less stress to leave a set with your clothes at Mom's... you may be right about the needles being safe according to the rules... but just as on the highway, you might have the right of way but forcing it may get you hurt.. or such...

Peace

I had been wondering about that. I will use check-through, but then I have nothing to do on the flight. Wondered if a plastic crochet hook would pass inspection.

I thought maybe if I took my cable needles, they might pass because they are just little 4-inch or so nibs, but if they are assembled, I suppose a really creative and zealous inspector with a wild imagination could see me sneaking up behind the pilot and garrotting him/her, wresting away control of the aircraft and making a 'Jamaica Mistaka' landing ala Jimmy Buffett.

Your crochet hook is listed as OK. I doubt the cable needles stand a chance. They aren't on any list and only a knitter would even know what they are for. Now, you could get a security agent who is a knitter...
