Maybe I should upgrade to Windows 7 now.  Nah…  I think I’ll wait.  You know there will be bugs and crap that people are going to find.  Before you know it, there will be patches and fixes and all.  Why get myself a big headache now?

AirAsia said 31-year-old passenger Liew Siaw Hsia went into labour on Wednesday’s flight from the northern island of Penang to Kuching on Borneo island.

The aircraft made an emergency diversion to the Malaysian capital but the baby arrived just before landing, delivered by a doctor who was on board and who was assisted by the airline’s flight attendants.

“To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to present both mother and child with free flights for life,” said AirAsia’s director of operations Moses Devanayagam after visiting them in hospital.”

Momentous, indeed.  I wondered if the U.S. carriers would do the same.  We now have to pay for checked-in luggage, food, pillows, and blankets.  Some time ago, I read it somewhere that they were planning to charge the use of lavatories.  How will that work?  Flight attendants will take turns to guard the lavatories.  They won’t let us in until we pay 5 bucks?  “Exact change, please, or no peeing for you!  Pooping is 3 bucks extra.” the flight attendants demand!

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky if the same thing happens on a U.S. carrier, and they don’t treat the mother and the baby as terrorists.

“OMG!  A baby terrorist,” a scared flight attendant screamed.

“This is Captain Beaverhausen from the cockpit.  Child birth on a plane is an act of terrorism.  The plan is now forced to be diverted to a nearby airport.  Everyone will be screened, interrogated, and punished as soon as we land.”

At least, I am not bitter.

We were watching one episode from the Golden Girls in which Dorothy’s son wanted to move in with her because his wife, Lorraine, kicked him out.

Matt:  Didn’t he (Dorothy’s son) just get married?

Me:  Yes.

Matt:  What’s the wife’s name?

Me:  Lorraine…  Hmm… Isn’t it some kind of vegetables?

Matt:  That’s ROMAINE!  You twit.

After two and a half hours with the plumber, the shower head is still dripping.  He didn’t have all the parts with him to fix the damn thing.  We also spent a good 45 minutes trying to find where we could shut the water off.  There was just nothing in the house, or in the garage, or anywhere to turn the water off.  The only place is at the water meter.  But he had to pull the box out of the ground to do it.  He said, “I have to charge you extra for this.”  I looked at him helplessly and replied, “Thank you.”

The shower door decided to fall off and collapse when I closed it after the plumber finished his toying with the faucet and all.  I uttered, “Lord,” when the door came off.  I tried to hold on to it so that it didn’t hit anything and break into pieces.  The plumber stood there and watched me doing the crazy dance and trying to rescue the door, and then he chuckled and said, “That’s right.  That is the right word to say when shit happens.”  And then he laughed some more.  I rolled my eyes heavenwards thrice when he made that comment, but I didn’t think he saw me doing that.  Otherwise, he would have giggled and said, “That’s right.  That’s the right thing to do when someone stood there being stupid and said something idiotic.”

Once the shower door was safe,  we walked downstairs.  He began to prepare the paperwork.  $90 for today’s visit, and $500 when he returns with all the parts to fix everything.  I looked at the paperwork and wondered if he forgot about the extra he was going to charge me because he had to pull that box out of the ground around the water meter.  Boy.  Am I lucky.
