My family (2 grandchildren and I) would like to "adopt" someone going to DC. We wish we were going, so we'd like to help someone who. We can participate by offering a little support - maybe we can buy you a meal along the way or look for hotels or other things when cell service gets spotty. Everyone needs someone cheering them on! You could text now and then and the kids can continue to learn about and participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event. They are 8 and 9.

I'm leaving from Minnesota solo on Monday morning. Let me know what you were thinking. I loved my Grandma and miss doing gimmicky stuff with her. Let me know how you want to communicate. Also, I love Jesus and Trump but am a bit of an outlaw. I WILL do my best to keep it clean for the kids. I am not drinking or doing drugs or anything like that, no weapons.

I have a very pregnant wife on bed rest I need to care for,

Only excuse I've heard yet that held water.

If you're wife is set to pop, you can't go.

Even if everything goes perfectly on the 6th, just you being there will scare the hell out of her, as I am sure many wives will feel on that day.

The last thing she needs is more to worry about right now, she has plenty on her plate already, IMO.

I am not much for excuses but this is the best one I have heard yet. I hope you don't feel bad about it.

Part of being a man is knowing your place, IMO. When your wife is giving birth to your children, your place is by her side.

We are in Montana, so you probably won't come this way, but if you do come through the northern route, let me know.

I’ve got my flight and hostel booked. I could use a taxi from the airport to the hostel. Supposedly hostel is walking distance to everything.

I'll be going through Baltimore on my way in on the 5th at around 3pm if that helps... unless you're user name is legit, don't need the lady pede getting the wrong idea.

Don't use a taxi, use a driver app like Lyft or Uber. It'll save you money, time, and get you a driver that is assigned to you, rather than sit in a line of people waiting at the taxi stand.

If the airport gives you any crap just have the driver meet you at the departure gate. That is what I used to do at O'Hare when they were on the warpath against anyone using Uber/Lyft to leave the airport.

Maybe things have changed as that was a few years ago. But that move used to save me a ton of time.

They came from addict parents, so every little thing makes them happy. They are so very easy to please. That would be sweet.
