    Despite a small problem involving a hole in the fusealoge (spell?) of the plane I was planning to take out of Dublin, I arrived home alive and in one piece. Only one piece fell from the laptop. Nothing special. Just one of those little foot things.
    Glad to be on my own computer again.
    Glad to be home.
    _Loved_ Ireland.
    Wanted Mailart.

    Awesome, of course...it's so weird to be home. I'm looking forward to going to the supermarket for the first time in years. Seeing all those vegetables...all that fruit...My cats are going nuts finding me at home.

    i suffered MAJOR culture shock when i came home from europe. sitting on the subway in downtown atlanta...buttload of luggage......8 hours on aplane +1 hour with lovely customs feeling up my wife becasue the dog liker her scent........sitting there....rockarockarockarocka sway back and forth loud voices

    "WHAT THE HELL YOU MEAN SHE DIDN'T KNOW?...GIRRRRL...SHE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THAT ONE..."

    "YEAH SMOLTZ SURE FUCKED THAT ONE UP....THE SHOULD A PUT JONES IN THE 7TH...."

    "FUCK THAT FUCK THEM FUCK ALL YALL'

    "WHATCHOU LOOKIN AT ?"

    "HAHAHAHAHAH"

    big bright coca cola signs invaded my eyes.....bigassed sport utes zoomed by on the freeway below.......

    it felt so weird to get in my car at the parking lot...not mention my buddy who had dropped it off for us left the lights on for 24 hours. ergo drained battery.

    he also left my kitties in mental disaray.....not to mention he went swimming at our pool while house sitting...had my wet trunks on the floor.....he also had sex in our bed on multiple occasions.....i had the pleasure of finding the come towel myself....

    in protest the cats had knocked a glass or two off the counter top not to mention they took they libety of feeding themselves by ripping open the bag of catfood and spreading it out all over the floor.......

    the place was a mess, beer cans everywhere.....filled ashtrays......

    i think it was the come towel that really got me going

    Hm. The biggest problem I'm having is with driving and walking--driving because I keep panicing and thinking I'm in the wrong lane. (Although I never drove, I got used to the cars being on that side of the road--I keep getting into the pasenger seat to drive.) and walking because I have to rtemind myself that pedestrians have the right of way here and no one is going to hit me...The airport experience wasn't too bad because I think of airports as out of space.
    Customs wasn't a problem. I rought back chocolate but didn't declare it. The guy stamped my passport and didn't even look at me.
    I beeped in the metal detector going through Dublin, and since they don't have wands, he would have had to feel me up.
    He made me empty my pockets and go through again.
    And sighed with relief when I didn't beep.
    Hm.

    what happens if people have metal implants on there person, do they have to provide proof from a doctor, a kind of 'I've got an implant' certificate or something?
    Sorry folks, it's just something that has always bugged me!


By Isolde on Friday, April 21, 2000 - 09:07 pm:

    Uh, usually they run a small wand over you which picks out any metal bits. If you tell them you have an implant, and they pat down the area that's beeping, they usually let you through.,
