      @SKT It looks like a heavy coat of pollen? My eyes are watering thinking about it.

          Yep, heavy pollen here in the Midwest. Overnight coating 😳.

                Just found out over the weekend that one of my neighbours fell and broke her hip a week ago in a fitness class. She is 82 and was determined to live on her own for as long as possible. In her fall she completely shattered it, her chance of walking again is minimal, and her living on her own again is not possible.

                Enjoy your youth while you can…

                    @Giles …and that makes me extremely happy to see. I’m so happy for you and Paula chasing life and actually living vs. waiting for it to come to you!! 🙂

                      Anyone in the states have experience with getting a passport days before a trip? It’s been a shit show here. Supposed to leave to Japan on my honeymoon on Thursday and my wife hasn’t received her expedited passport. We contacted about cancelling and they’re stating her old one wouldn’t arrive back here in time. Not sure what our options are at this point. We tried contacting our congress person

                        I drove to Atlanta to go to a passport agency in person and paid like $300 and they turned one around in about 4 hours. This was in 2015. I made an appointment beforehand, and I did have my expired passport in hand. You may be able to do this relying on other documents?

                            @sabergirl thank you! it seems like their processes have changed quite a bit. they're so backed up and busy right now. we called last week and their only appointment was in El Paso, TX on the day we leave. We're in southern california. I've been reading a bit more about the passport agency offices and it seems they now have security that ensure you have an appt prior to even letting you in the building.

                                That’s awful @marco23d . How long have you been waiting for them to turn around her passport?

                                  @sabergirl since February. we sent it in due to name change. if we knew it would be like this we would've not done it and traveled with name change documents. we inquired about cancelling her application but they stated that route takes a couple of weeks getting your old passport back

                                    @sabergirl it was an emotional rollercoaster of a week. multiple calls on hold for hours. we leave tomorrow. my wife drove to LA without an appointment and they denied her entry to the agency. she called me to cancel our flight and i asked her to call the agency one last time. she did and got an appointment in san diego and they're printing her passport today. can't believe it!

                                      What a horrible chain of events for it to finally work out. Congratulations and enjoy the honeymoon!! Might need an extra bottle or two to celebrate.
