Getting a Refund From an Airline
Anyone has experience on how to get a refund for cancelling a N R ticket due the airline [Delta] changing the schedule of one of the flights by 10 hrs making an 18 hrs trip 28 hrs long? Delta claims that this is not enough disruption so they just offer a credit for future use but with a $ 300 penalt...

Re: Accidents and PTSD
The way we react to traumatic events opens up a window to look in depth at other aspects of our lives. Kudos to you for wanting to deal with this difficult issue. CBT helps , if your councellor deems it helpful explore Attachment Style.

Nice town and neighbors . Big boats and cars in the driveway are acceptable but not a C 152 ? He has been getting summons also for his ham radio antennas. Hope a sharp lawyer would take his case pro bono and tell them to go pound sand

Why does this keep coming up? You pay a fee to license your car and yourself to drive it, and although bitching about it is a fun pastime we still do it.
