@TFIupdates The first one (#15) was supposed to leave at 7:59. Then I believe there was a 14 and two 15s. I know it was 4 buses altogether.

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@TFIupdates Four buses (routes 15 & 14) just went by stop 1069 at the Swan Centre without stopping bc they were full. Now I’m having to take a taxi and may miss my train!

@esaumccaulley I really appreciate this, Esau.

@kevinmnye1 Congratulations!!!!

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@NWCarpenter I’m just so over the moon thrilled for you both, my friend.

Belated sermon fodder question:

When was a time when someone surprised you (or you surprised someone else!) by saying yes to something totally unexpectedly, or that was a long-shot of an ask?

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@TheSassyBirdie These stories make me so happy.

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@TheSassyBirdie I love this so much! Any particularly good story that stands out to you?

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@courtneyellis True facts.

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@vagentleman2 You’re so kind to ask! Feeling less itchy and started on a course of steroids so I should be feeling better (albeit hungry and sleepless) soon. 🙂

[Erin Bair @eebair]

Two days ago, I broke out on hives all over my face and neck, and they haven’t gotten any better. They respond slightly to Claritin & Benadryl, but not much. I can’t identify any other allergic triggers.

Would be grateful for any insight before I scratch my face off…

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@hoopersnook @AymieJoi Thanks--those are good ideas. I'm starting with my dermatologist tomorrow, since I already have one of those (don't have an allergist or rheumatologist). Will see where to go from there!

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@vagentleman2 Definitely staying away from the ER! And have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.

[Erin Bair @eebair]

A little hesitant to ask, but l*ng c*vid question: Has anyone else experienced (or heard of) a recurrence of hives months after a covid infection?

I had a very mild case of covid back in the fall (my first), but I did have hives that would come and go for several weeks. (1/2)

@SarahECozart I’m so sorry, Sarah. What a beautiful legacy he leaves. Praying for you and your family as you grieve.

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@wendellkmusic @AmericanAir I know it’s first-world problems. But seriously. Do better, AA.

[Erin Bair @eebair]

Before you book on @AmericanAir, know that if you pay for a class of service that includes seat selection but that flight is operated by a codeshare partner, the other airline can charge you for seat selection & AA will tell you there’s “absolutely nothing they can do about it.”

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@AmericanAir Then you shouldn’t advertise that as a feature of that class of service. You know which codeshare partners charge and which don’t. It shouldn’t be a feature on flights operated by partners that charge. Or you should negotiate codeshare contracts that provide equal service.

[Erin Bair @eebair]

@30roland30 Ugh — so sorry! Hope you feel better soon!
