I wish I’d had some slightly different DVD’s in my suitcase (they were for a friend) particularly as about 1000 passengers walked passed them.

Did you have one of those commercial moments...?

I wish

...our leaders wouldn't lie to us.

...minimum wage was $25/hr. with a 30 hour work week

...there was no hunger in the world.

...saying "I'm sorry." washed away all the hurt and the memories associated with it.

OMG, word. O'Hare airport is my enemy.

I've never had any trouble with customs anywhere in the US, except in Chicago. They almost made me miss the first Stevie show in Vegas. WTH?

I wish for the following:

A better job (May happen this Friday, Please PRAY for me)

That I was a person who is more trusting of those in my personal life.

A larger bedroom, My music collection has grown exponentially this year (IM guessing I have bought around 200-300 cd's this year alone)

That Oct.22th (Today) wasnt such a sad time for my family (I lost my Father on this day 30 years ago)

and better health, MY headaches are getting worse and my meds dont appear to work as well as they once did.

It took me 11 hours to get through immigration so it's a good job I didn't have an onward connection. It was the first time I had used my Permanent Residence Card (green card). Huge mistake. Stick with the EU passport, it's easier

I did have my EU passport, but still it took way too long. I was supposed to have 2.5 hours to get to my connecting flight, but what no one told me was that if you have a connecting flight *in* the US, you need to go through customs in the first American city you arrive in, instead of your city of destination. What that meant was that I had to claim my luggage and check it in, again. Had I known all that, I would have booked a different connecting flight, but the travel agency said it was fine, I would have enough time.

Didn't you fly in from the Middle East? That's probably why they gave you hell. 11 hours? I would have died!

Just to save me answering another PM about the DVD’s

.

I told someone several months ago that all the shows at Las Vegas are filmed and you can buy them in China along with many other things not commercially available in the US. The person in question likes Celine Dion, didn’t really believe me so asked me to buy the DVD’s of her shows in Vegas. So in one of my suitcases were 78 Celine Dion DVD’s

. I could have bought more, but thought 78 made my point and was about all I could carry.

Having them set out on a table whilst passengers walked passed was probably the most excruciatingly embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me in my life and that is saying something

.

And no, I wont be buying any for anyone here.

And Bill are you the new Andre/Blackwidow?
