@SouthwestAir We have been rebooked. But vacations during school breaks are short, so every day counts, and we are missing a full day at our destination due to a SW mechanical issue.

Improving math scores by 0.5 standard deviation for children up to age 12 is associated with larger increases on earnings by age 30 than other equivalent improvements. https://t.co/b58dhjf3qs

@NebraskaMegan Finally, not sure how the legislature can help here but NE should invest in youth sports tourism/facilities. There is a lot of $ there, NE is a central location for all of the US, and the state needs more revenue from outsiders if it ever wants to lower taxes on its residents

@NebraskaMegan Omaha desperately needs road resurfacing. Its roads are in the worst condition I have seen for a major city across the U.S. Its parks are also largely in disrepair. Some of this is poor management by the city, but funding would help.

@NebraskaMegan One more - when we lived in NE, it was shocking to experience price gouging by tree companies after major storms. At the time, there did not appear to me to be a law against price gouging in NE.

@NebraskaMegan If universal free public school lunches are not already a state law, NE should join the other states that have adopted this.

@FOX26Houston Our connecting flight home via IAH last night was cancelled due to no crew. No flights with seats for 2 days! @United did not provide hotel or meal vouchers via its app, which it should have for passengers who were stranded. I think they hoped people wouldn't ask

@chrissyfarr And 2) I grew basil and cherry tomatoes in pots and they loved helping to water and harvest. One of my kids ate basil leaves off the plant all the time, and they both would devour the tomatoes after picking them.

@chrissyfarr Two things worked for me when my kids were really young: 1) I renamed veggies/fruit they didn't usually want to eat. During my girls' princess phase, prunes were "royal fruit candy" and green beans were "Her Majesty's haricot vert". 1/2

@vrbo @vrbo this is the ultimate in run-arounds!! Please tell me specifically how I can speak with a US customer service manager. Mary-Helen offered to call and never did. Your India call center told me I would get a call back, never did. Your co is the worst!

[Audrey Shedivy @Sheds]

@vrbo - do you have a cust service email? Or US cust service team? I have been on the phone for 25 min+ going in circles with your call center in India who admit they can't help me but can't give me an email address or find a manager. Help?

[Audrey Shedivy @Sheds]

@vrbo Thank you, kindly confirm the number you provided directs to a US based customer service team? I cannot waste time with your overseas call center again.

[Audrey Shedivy @Sheds]

@vrbo You already have my email address from a DM sent last week.

[Audrey Shedivy @Sheds]

@vrbo Will you please DM me a US-based customer service number? I have spent 8 days DMing, emailing, and talking to your India call center. You have ALL the info needed from me. I need to speak with someone at VRBO on the phone at this point.

[Audrey Shedivy @Sheds]

@vrbo That is a significant # of miles! Until this is resolved, I will continue to follow up with VRBO and United. United customer service has been great and I am thankful for them! I hope VRBO can reclaim some goodwill and help resolve this.

@vrbo Last night I was curious as to why @VRBO customer service has been so evasive about whether they paid their partner/affiliate United for my stay. It's a really simple question to answer and they refuse to do so. Why? So I did a quick search and found this...
