It's "sorta" OT, as the OB part takes place at a dinner party, but
this video is hilarious.

*Really* OB: posting from my laptop, as the DH and I drew babysitting
duty for 1 year old twin grandsons, one of whom can crawl faster than
a gazelle on steroids. I meticulously made some homemade baby-type
food: chopped squash, applesauce, finely "worked over" spaghetti sauce
and noodles and some storebought cheese squares. They immediately
loved the cheese squares and the applesauce. After a *lot* of coaxing,
they did a good job on the spaghetti. Squash was outsourced to their
bibs, floor and high chair trays.

Heh! Forwarded to He Who Knows Everything. Need to play that

It IS hilarious until you come across someone who still thinks that way.

When I was doing my airport volunteer shift a few weeks ago one of the
cleaning people (Hispanic, legal) stopped to chat. He asked if we got
paid for the job (no) then asked why I was there when I should be home,
"taking care of your husband".

I told him that fortunately my husband was very capable of taking
care of himself for an afternoon or even longer. He went away
shaking his head.

Probably both. I'd say he was 10 years younger than I,
in his mid 50's perhaps. Machismo is not dead.

What on earth made him think you wanted his opinion on that
subject?

He's worried his wife will get funny ideas that would involve him
having to figure out how to take care of himself.

Or maybe it was his version of asking what a nice lady like you was
doing in a place like that. Really! Volunteering at an airport isn't
the first (or the 10th) place I'd think of.

My boss' father is considerably older than his mother. They both
emerged from WWII Germany by very different, if similarly scary,
paths*, emigrated to Israel, then to the U.S. He is in his mid-80s and
what I would call very "old" 80s while she just turned 70, IIRC. He
has become quite fragile and attention seeking. She actually gives
aerobics instruction twice a week at a senior center, which along with
her weekly mah jong hen party, is about the only time she has to
herself. When it looked like the senior center was going to curtail
its instructor staff, his *only* response was, "Good. Now Esther can
stay at home and take care of me like she should."

*She spent the entirety of her schooling in Germany in a Catholic
girls' school "disguised" as a Catholic. Even she didn't know she was
Jewish until the family emigrated to Israel.

OB: Esther makes about the best potato latkes I ever had.

Denver International Airport Ambassador Volunteer Program was initiated
in 1994, a year before the new airport opened,in order to provide tour
guides for VIPs and later to familiarize the public with the new
facility. The airlines requested that the program be continued after
the official opening as a convenience for travelers.

There are ~250 of us, known by our uniform of jeans or denim skirts,
white shirts, suede vests and white Stetsons. We work half-day shifts
assisting passengers to find their way around Denver's huge airport.
We have security badges which allow us to work on the concourses where
the gates are, to meet people (oldsters, celebrities or anyone who calls
our office asking that a traveler be met.) We are all doing extra
shifts for the Democratic Convention next week to greet arrivals and
help them to get where they need to go.

We park free in the employees' lot when on duty or vacationing. No
flight benefits because we work for the Convention and Visitor's Bureau,
not the airlines.

I have worked and still work many other volunteer positions; this one is
exhausting but fun. I walk more than 5 miles every shift. I meet many
interesting people and some not-so-nice, frustrated ones, but I always
feel as though I have helped to make DIA less stressful for most of the
people I meet.

Good for you . My wife can't walk long distances so when we travel she
needs a wheelchair in the airport. While I'd gladly push the chair myself,
the airline takes care of everything with an assistane. I don't know if it
is volunteers or paid help, but they are very helpful, courteous, and make
our travel much easier.

Actually, technically in the three-letter airport listings it is still
DEN but locally it is always referred to as DIA.

It is DEN. This is what confuses me, since typing DIA into
an airline search engine fails to return any flights.

It looks like it still *is* DEN.

And:

"...DIA the new Denver International Airport which used identifier DVX
when the runways opened for testing, but inherited the familiar DEN code
when Denver's Stapleton airport closed down."

You are maybe missing possessive apostrophe, Jammin' Woman? Is bonked
on the head your being too many times during thrkpt race - which I
would never be losing to Jammin' Woman if judges' (another possessive
apostrophe, Jammin' Woman should be noting) disqualifying stupidity of
underweight thrkpt. Thrkpt was in Elbonian family many generations and
is 2.5 kg weighing on button. Will be even getting next St. Frghptds'
day unless Jammin' Woman must compete in Senior Division.
