What if?

SDF = Louisville
LOU = Bowman Field (small general aviation airport on east side of town.

MCI = Mid-Continental International Airport-- the name of Kansas City Int'l previously.

Kansas City, Missouri became MKC and more recently the 'new' Kansas City airport chose MCI. (The code for Kansas City International Airport, MCI, was assigned during the early design phase of the airport when the name was going to be Mid-Continent International. Shortly before it opened, Kansas City officials decided to change the name so people would know what city it was in. It was too late to change the code.)

SDF = Standiford Field -- like many airports, it's genesis was born as a Army Airfield before the World Wars. Standiford was the name of the land owner that sold the property to the gov't.

To add to that Wichita's airport is called Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. I guess the wanted they claim as well. OKC is Will Rogers World Airport, but I don't think it has any international flights. Well I guess it does to Texas and I hear that it is like a whole other country!

I will have to go check the site. Clearing out for a stop at Border's to get the Stosny book breakaway turned me onto before DC.

So Santa Mom dropped off her gifts today while we were all out of the house. In case you don't remember she was supposed to buy toys for the kids on Sunday. They got all the way to the store and then she realized she had no money. But the kids were excited. So that's a plus. D even said the she was "the best mommy in the whole world." I'm not sure about that; but it's her only mommy and she loves her.

Well, at least she finally came through!

GEG - Spokane, WA (Geiger Field)
SNA - John Wayne Airport (ie - Santa Ana, ie - Orange County)
MCO - Orlando, FL (McCoy Airfield)

I could go on and on and on.....I've been doing this 19 years! I've got some codes stuck in my head that are for places no one has ever even heard of before (including me until I had to find a way to get someone there!)

I have an aviation industry job; so it kinda a hobby at work to see if we can figure out the codes.

SUX = Sioux City, IA

<<How does one recover from that addiction? Seems harder to recover from "other man attention" than it is alcohol?

MC, the only way I did it was weekly intense cognitive behavior therapy. My Doc had to constantly remind me that OM attention has not been in my best interest in the past, & that it's not what I'm really craving anyway. It's a false love substitute. I want the real thing.

Hi - Having trouble finding the post that you quoted from but I think your talking about OM attention.

It was OM attention that constantly drew me to him. i knew OM for years before I had the A. He constantly sought me out, talked , complimented, probably what you would call a womaniser.

It made you feel soooooooo good. It was really hard to give that up. I would choose it over alcohol any day.

So what does that say about me ? hmmmmm good question for C. Need not to repeat the pattern in the future.

That was me, too, smartcookie and Mof3.

MC- At least she followed through and the kids were happy.

How's it going today?

[marriedCrazy]

I'm doing good.

Santa Mom stayed out all night. She came back to the house at 6:30 this morning to get ready for work. She's also taking our D to her preschool; so that saves me a little travel time. Any help from the W is bonus time; because I have everything setup to work without her presence at all.

The kids and I are going to W's sister's house tonight for my nephew's 1st BD party. My D4 loves that little boy. So we'll have a good time. W isn't going because it's BD weekend for one of her single GFs.

WDID, thanks for asking. But mC is AOK today.

Glad for the kids W finally came through on her promise. How is you SIL compared to W, does she has the same personality traits? Any chance she is going to do the same stuff your W is doing down the road? Anything you can glean from time with SIL that might help understand W's behavior. I'm sure you've been down that road, but just a thought.
