Cletus O'Toole's Frustration

Cletus O'Toole checked in all set to fly

   Mistletoe o'er the bag scale caught his eye

      He asked, "Can I have my kiss?"

         "No!" replied the little miss

             "That is there to kiss yer luggage goodbye!"

Lindsay Laurie Date: 12/26/2019 4:47:00 PM G'day Bob … very witty indeed Bob. I gather this works both way. To your destination or to never be seen again - thanks again Bob - Lindsay Login to Reply

Jan Allison Date: 12/26/2019 8:21:00 AM oh dear, that is something I dread Bob - a dear friend gave me luggage labels for gifts so hopefully it will never happen to me. Seasons greetings my friend:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 12/26/2019 1:13:00 PM I've had lost or missing bags and it ain't fun! Hope it never happens to you, Jan. Thanks for commenting and I hope your Christmas Season was a fun one - Bob

James Horn Date: 12/25/2019 5:54:00 PM I hope not. We will be going back to Wilmington, NC from San Diego, CA. Had been seeing our Son Shawn and grandsons. So how is retired life? Mine is great.

Glad you are enjoying yours. I was chatting with my 3 oldest grand kids & hearing the way work situations have changed & I'm glad I'm out of the work force! Hope you had a glorious Christmas Season with your family - I sure did. Keep in touch - Bob

Ilene Bauer Date: 12/25/2019 1:52:00 PM Ha! Very clever, Bob! Hope you're having a very merry Christmas! Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 12/25/2019 2:10:00 PM Thank you, Ilene. See my comments below to Tom re my experiences with lost bags! We had our family Christmas get together at my house Sun 22 Dec. I always get party trays and my 2 daughters bring in tons of goodies. Great to have kids, grandkids and greats here. Hope your holidays are going splendidly. I am enjoying your poems. Bob

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/25/2019 1:26:00 PM Haha, haven't lost any yet Robert but once in the canaries my case came off the carousel and I think a tank had gone over it. Merry Christmas to you. Tom Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 12/25/2019 2:07:00 PM Glad you enjoyed, Tom. When in the AF on a trip to Okinawa they lost my bag and 30 years later I haven't seen it. Also on a cruise my bag didn't show up till about 2 days later - talk about a sinking feeling! Hope you are enjoying a Merry Olde Christmas with your family - Bob
