I was just wondering if you are single?

I hardly think that worrying about him and ranting about the idiocy of the circumstances was “nonchalant”. I simply have the sense to maintain reality when panic isn’t helpful.

Oh, my God, that was gross. That you were nonchalant about it is a troubling thought.

I commend President Nietzel on his policy and beliefs regarding Missouri State’s campus security. As a former employee who worked early and late hours I was well aware of the need for good campus security. When I locked building doors when I was at work before dawn, I got exasperated sighs and rolling of supervisor’s eyes.

I took pride in my work and deserved a modicum of security. There is an ignorance and insensitivity about these issues among some employees. There is also indifference and disregard for others’ personal experience.

When I am met with those who disregard my needs. It disturbs me.

I also would implore those working within the hiring process to seriously examine background checks and also conduct a an evaluation of all supervisors.

I enjoyed my stay at MSU and I wish the students and staff success in their endeavors.

Good luck in future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Kitty Roberts

I agree 100%. Not only is it fallecious to “disarm” the respectable and rational members of a society, but it also is a way for the masses to be controled.

Well, you don’t seem like the standard bit of spam as no advertising is included… so let’s give this a go.

1) What IS your country?

2) What exactly offended you?

Comment on Struggle to Escape, part three. by Lorien

My father spoke to our Bolivian travel agent earlier this week on the subject. The current limit is approximately 70 pounds per bag for Aerosur. I will double check with him and let you know ASAP.

My experience was unique, but not unusual. LAB is no longer active, and therefore Aerosur is much more lax. However, domestic travel is supposedly much easier when it comes to paperwork, luggage, and hassles. Flashing your luggage receipts for the American flight may well help (go figure). Also, our travel agent here in Cochabamba was adamant that if ever presented with a problem at the airport, make as grand as a fuss as you can (until they pull in the police)… it’s so common that it’s quite expected.

We live just on the border of the city of Cochabamba and the much smaller village Tiquipaya. Please feel free to ask any other questions that you might have… if I don’t have the answer, I’ll find out whom I can ask!

Best of wishes for your missions trip.
