Now, if they were talking 100,000 or 200,000 then I think I would be able to cope from the tragedy, but $100 or $200 wouldn’t even begin to help me through my anguish. All kidding aside though, You all did speak to an attorney about this, didn’t you? It seems as though if you all had requested assistance from the airline then they did not follow through after saying they would then any distress that Heather may be feeling over this tragedy would be the airlines liability. At the very least I probably would have lodged a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I believe that Heather’s feedback from the one airleine regarding the fact we do not get complaints from people with disabilities is due to the fact one they either dismiss any complaint they get saying they don’t get complaints from people with disabilities because that would reflect negatively on them or two people with disabilities are just not flying with them anymore due to hthe horrible experience they are having and just not complaining to them directly. If they are just vowing not to fly, but not giving feedback about their experience then there is no way for them to know whether or not they are providing a horrible service. Another possibility is the way that they allow people to complain may be set up in a away that makes it impossible for people with disabilities to get through to them. I have been asked to take a number of surveys and when I go to take it find that it is not accessible with my screen-reader. Another option is not too late to do and will possibly give some a bad impression of the airline is go to a website called Planet Feedback. I believe it is http://www.planetfeedback.com/ Bethann it may be something that you have to do, I am not sure of the level of accessibility it has. If I remember correctly, I could fill-out the form, but when it came to pressing the submit or send button it was not accessible.

But, hey don't worry, American offered her $100 towards her next ticket and Southwest gave her a $200 voucher.

I will grant you the fact that you did travel to Ohio to visit, but in my experience visiting has been a two way street. Are you telling me that you visited with Heaver the Cleaver and she sat there like a knot on a log not saying a word back to you?

My sister-in-law says her old vista machine is faster than my notebook running 8.1. I don’t doubt her and she’s a big Windows supporter. She thinks my mac is out to get her and she’s been to scared to try the linux box yet. Although she was showing some signs of interest with it earlier. So we’ll see about that. Yes parts of the US have been pounded with snow, other parts not so much. We’ve had 2 snow storms with any decent amount of snow so far. That’s below normal. Have had bits of biter cold weather though, then it will warm back up a bit then go cold again. El Nino winter, just not strong enough to give us a warm winter.

Now I have a new machine and I am slowly getting the ropes of using windows 8. While window shopping for a new laptop the guy told me windows 10 is supposely coming out in the near future. TYPICAL! Just as when I get use to using one program a new one comes out!! Also we had six weeks of summer school holidays so most of my time was busy with my children. We visited three theme parks, visit a musuem twice, went shopping, alot of dining out with friends and seen 6 movies at the cinema. Was thinking of going away for a week but it started to became more a wet January. We live in a tropical cyclone environment. We are on cyclone watch now!! There is a tropical low out to the sea and it is forecast to hit inland as a category one by the middle of the night tonight. We are forecast to have storms and heavy rain up to 500mm in two days. The girls have been back at school for three weeks now. Both of my girls had their swimming carnival recently and school photos were taken. Monique didn't have a good start to her school year. In the first week her best friend was admitted to hospital after she collapsed at school and lost her sight. She had fluiid in the brain!! Since then Monique had a virus for two days and only yesterday she sprained her left ankle. She has now house bound for afew days. Next month Rachel will commenced volunteer day at a Meals for Wheels centre. Its an organisation where they cook and deliver meals to people who aren't fully dependent to cook themselves. I don't know what her role will be as she isn't old enough to have a driver's licence. All her grade level is involved and they are roster two mornings a week for two students each week during school term. Later in the year they all will have work experience for a week. Was on a break from bowling and craft over the summer holidays. In mid January bowling league resume. At present time my team is in the top 10 position. It changes each week! My team mate had two star of the weeks for bowling over average games. I had ups and downs each week. Craft resumed two weeks ago. At the moment I am only attending on Tuesdays and some Wednesdays. I hope to start studying soon. Hope everyone is well and enjoying their winter season in the nothern hemisphere. I heard it has snowed alot in US. I am start to wonder if we will have a cold winter for once. Suzi
