No Electronics Today

I think I’m safe now. Don’t know. We started the morning with getting our Thanksgiving flights home to Jim’s family. Last night he tried to book from a seminar he was attending and American Airlines only allowed him to pay in Pounds Sterling. This is an AMERICAN airline and Jim thought perhaps the IP address he was linked to wirelessly was running through the UK.

This morning I tried again, they gave him another 24 hours to hold the flights. Went through the entire thing (and our addresses and phones are all from the USA and we’re here in the USA) and it only allowed us to pay in pounds.

He called, and spent 45 precious minutes (that he’s working now to make up for it) talking with a US representative, then an international airline representative. The website is messed up. Then, when updating the profile the new address “didn’t register.”

I went to the grocery store and did self check-out and it scanned three small on-the-vine tomatoes as endive and tried to charge me $7.17 for them instead of $1.41 for our cold dinner tonight. Then it wouldn’t let me check out so I needed the attendant for four items to see me twice.

From then on I restricted myself from electronic devices. This one seems to be working. Let’s hope for an enjoyable weekend for all! The trees are about at their peak here and I’d like to take a few photos over the weekend. There are also other things going on that will keep us busy but relaxed as well. I guard my husband’s down time very carefully. Cheers, Dee
