OT: Leafs Lounge v.144 - Oh, the Boss Is Coming!

My grandmother passed in september. i wasnt sad though, kind of happy and relieved her physical suffering was finally over. kidney failure is excruciating and seeing her go through it was really ****ty

I understand that airlines do it because they simply can, particularly in last minute circumstances, but in these types of instances I think it's pretty criminal they'd charge that much

Simply put I could write a letter saying I've lost three grandparents in the last 18 months, only being able to attend one funeral because your last-minute charges and bereavement fares are outlandish .. The only time I was able to attend one of my grandparents funerals was because it was coincidental with a vacation with a flight I had booked a few months prior .. See if that gains any traction.

What do you think writing a letter would accomplish?

I'm pretty lucky in that I've never had close family/friends/significant others die off on me. Only ever been to one funeral, and that was for a family friend's grandfather who I didn't know at all, so it was more of a courtesy out of respect for the dead and to comfort the close ones who were grieving. As a manic depressive, I can't even begin to imagine how much the sadness and grief from a close family/friend/significant other dying would amplify for me. I'd probably be hysterical.

Sorry to hear Bert. My condolences!

I was busy all weekend .. Hibernated from our -30 (-40 windchill) cold snap at my girlfriends, my grandpa (my last living grandparent) passed away Sunday so I took yesterday off (which was also my girlfriend's birthday) and we went skiing in the mountains

Saw your Dallas Smith tickets .. Jealous ... Just found out today Keith Urban is playing the Stampede - I got an insider password for the presale tomorrow, crossing my fingers I can get some tickets

Sorry to hear brother!

My grandmother (my last living grandparent) passed away on Sunday as well.

Pretty crazy man.

Sorry to hear that DD .. Tough weekend all around

It killed me to see my grandpa waste away in that ****** nursing home .. Glad he is in a better place with my grandma (who passed away 15 years ago)

Here I am, surfing HF in the after math of the trade when all of a sudden SPLOOSH! Blood trickles onto my desk. I then reached for a kleenex to pinch off my nose. True story.
