Good morning all.  Joey, as others have said, your mom was a beautiful woman.  She was only in her 30&#39;s when she passed away, do you  mind my asking what took her life?  As you have surmised, we are home from Texas and the wedding.  As you may remember, I emailed the TSA 2 weeks ago and asked about taking my alcohol onboard and I kept getting automated emails saying they had received my request and would get back to me as soon as they could - when we got home, I had an email saying I could receive an answer if I called them.  Not much good to me as we had already taken the trip at the time.  I discovered that I could carry it on the plane though.  I put my 4 little bottles of Bacardi rum in a clear qt. sized plastic baggie and put it in a seperate bin as the rules stated, and it ran thru the x-ray machine and out the other side where I picked it up and put it back in my purse.  Then I bought a bottled coke and drank some and then poured 2 of the little bottles in with it and drank most of it before even boarding, but I still had about 1/4 of it left when we boarded and so I just carried it on with me and finished it on the plane.  In Dallas, I did the same thing.   Yesterday, when we flew out of Lubbock, I took the  remaining bottles out of my suitcase that I had checked on the way there and put them in my baggie and sent thm thru the x-ray machine.  When I got to the other end to pick them up, there was this big guy standing there, and he said &quot;Ma&#39;am, are these yours?  I replied that they were and he said, &quot;I&#39;m sorry but you cannot board the plane with these.&quot;  I told him, very nicely, that I was sorry, that I did not intend to break their rules, I had carried them thru Denver and Dallas, but I realize that different airports may have different rules.  He started laughing and said &quot;rum&#39;s my favorite so I was just trying to get an early Christmas present&quot; and it was okay for me to carry them onboard the plane.  I said if it was any consellation,  they would probably be mostly gone before I even boarded.  He laughed again and said he guessed he didn&#39;t have to tell me to have a good flight then.  So just for your info, it is okay to carry those little bitty bottles of alcohol onboard the plane.  Joey, I have bought many things from Overstock.com and have always been pleased.  Well, guess I had bettter get moving...I had my nails done on Thursday before we left Friday morning and one broke on the trip there and I could not find anywhere in that little poduck town we were in to fix it, so have to take care of that, go buy groceries and then go pick up the hounds at Camp Bow Wow.  Can you believe that Christmas is 2 weeks from today????
