RN ((((((Escapee)))))) It's been 2 months since I put my beloved Cocker down, at the age of 11 years, 11 months, and 13 days. The tears were non-stop for 6 weeks straight, partly because I made the decision to put him down. It's so hard to do, I felt like a murderer. It was the kindest thing for Hana though, as I'm sure is the case with your Lab. Let the tears come, this is just as big a loss as a human loss. It'll take a while but it will get easier.

RN Costa, the first thing that gets me recognized is my hair. I can be walking along minding my own business and hear someone call out my name, only to find its someone I haven't seen since I was a kid and the first thing they say is, "I saw your hair...."

RN: Thank you all for the warm wishes. And NT, aren't you glad I recognized your accent? Trust me, up here in the North (california) we have drawls all our own....

RN IF ANYONE HAS A FEW MINUTES; can you help me find cheap flights from chicago (midway OR o'hare) to Portland? For 2 adults. Leaving this Friday, early as possible. Not sure when returning. Friday the 11th to Monday the 13th or the 14th....

RN, I'm a bit miffed I didn't get one of the 2 research positions I applied for. Not the fact I didn't get it, but neither professor even had interviews, which could easily have been done since probably only 15 people applied, maximum. I have a feeling the jobs were filled even before the job posting went up. And that just frustrates me. RN, I guess it's back to the drawing board for me.

Julie, you may want to check out Southwest. Looks like you can fly RT for about $300 each (not a bad fare). Otherwise, go to Expedia or Travelocity and see if any of the other carriers have cheaper flights. (Southwest isn't included in those travel sites.)

Looks like there's a great nonstop outbound at 8:50 am for $139. And most of the returns are open, but there are two nonstops you should look at (one at $139).

RN, Julieboo, go to Travelocity.com and use the flexible dates feature. Set it up to check from now through May. I found a couple that start as early as May 4. But do it right now, and if you find a good fare and dates you can live with, book it RIGHT NOW. And Southwest could be the way to go as well. If flies in and out of Midway. Airport code for Ohare is ORD, Portland PDX, Midway MDW. Good luck.

Escapee, I'm so sorry about Scout. And, yes, I'm so glad you recognized me - or at least the voice. Grace, I tell people we don't have accents in Texas but that's it's everyone else that has one.

Julie, if you booked Southwest, check out their hotel deals. I didn't check to see where these hotels are located but: LA Quinta Is Ptl NW La Quinta Hotels $68 - $90 4319 NW Yeon 4 Miles NW from downtown LA Quinta Cvntncntr La Quinta Hotels $78 - $88 431 NE Multnomah 1 Mile NE from downtown There's also: Clarion Hotel Portland - From $89 The Mark Spencer Hotel - From $79 You can also search by location (close to airport). Go to http://www.southwest.com and click Book Travel. Then click the tab for Hotel. Enter the details and off you go! The top four listed are all reasonably priced: Holiday Inn Arpt Holiday Inn $48 - $60 8439 NE Columbia Blv 2 Miles SE Airport Econo Lodge Expo Ce Econo Lodge $52 - $65 405 NE Columbia Blvd 4 Miles W Airport Embassy Ste PDX Arp Embassy Suites $54 - $70 7900 NE 82nd Ave 1 Mile SE Airport Quality Inn And Sui Quality International $58 - $80 9727 NE Sandy Blvd 3 Miles SE Airport

Looks like those cheap rates Juju posted are gone now! I feel naseous... Guess I better book what I can get now anyways. Is booking directly with SOuthwest right now over the phone a bad idea?? (Like is it cheaper on expedia? I tried looking there, but my head is spinning and it does not make sense to me.)

Julie, I could be wrong, but I don't think you can book Southwest flights anywhere but through Southwest.
