  1. Sorry to hear about your situation but you aren't the only one with a prematurely born child. That still doesn't give you the right to call her a goat (as your child views it). Anyway, I actually gave you the info so your info about how things have changed is not accurate. Besides that, if you are really putting your child first, why are you dragging her across half of the world? Your boyfriend could learn how to cook good Mexican food and move to the UK :)

  2. Well there's a challenge if I ever heard one. If someone can find me an airline that'll fly us from London to Tucson or Phoenix, 1 stopover, less than 20 hours total travel time (take-off to final landing plus stopover time) and allow a cat on board, I'll quite happily and genuinely throw a couple hundred squid into your bank account. Delta don't allow animals on board transatlantic from the UK, Ireland, South Africa, UAE and somewhere else. Neither do BA, nor Continental, nor American. And only Continental will carry her as cargo and only to Phoenix because Tucson doesn't have climate controlled transportation from the aircraft to the .. wherever they go.

    And those flight requirements are not just for the sake of the cat, but also my extremely anxious 10 year old. If it were only me, it would be an entirely different story. And yes, the £609 was using a company. And yes, a lot has changed in 6 months, nevermind 2 years.

    Could you stop spitting venom around especially when someone's trying to help you? As you were informed, Air France takes cats on board. Check their website. They fly from London to Phoenix with 2 layovers in times between 16 hours 20 mins to 20 hours 42 mins. Lotsa choices for you. I'm sure your child (not the kid as you refer to it as if it was a thing you just had to drag behind) will be able to survive the trip just fine (even with 2 stops), especially if you bring her fav toys, nice snacks, the cat that she loves, she could watch some movie and you could give her some love too. Lots of kids travel on planes. Maybe your child would feel less anxious in general if you didn't keep stressing the small stuff (which can be solved easily btw) and provide her love, support and a fun life. I'm sure there are hotels in Phoenix that are pet friendly. And if you have to do the 2 hour drive, why don't you make it fun and stop on the way to show your child fun stuff and make her life more fun in general.

  3. Regarding the closure of the re-started threads in the RUB forum - once a thread has been closed by a moderator there is a proper process to follow to bring a complaint about the decision to the attention of administration. One can expect that blatantly ignoring that process by re-starting a thread that was closed for TOS violations not once, not twice, but three times will have consequences, the most basic of which is the re-started threads are closed and will remain closed until Administration has had a chance to review the original thread. Bullying doesn't change the process.

    That's a nice theory. In reality though, it works like this:

    1. Charles isn't supposed to "come in contact" with Mox. He chooses to do so and baits Mox for no reason in a thread that was not violationg the TOS.

    2. Charles decides to close threads (not just this one) out of "prevention". He doesn't state that TOS have been violated and doesn't point at the violation itself.

    3. I report Charles for this kind of behavior, he answers the report about himself, which is no answer at all. A different mod should handle reports about someone, who is a mod.

    4. I report that to Ewok. Ewok doesn't respond.

    5. I report to Ewok again, Ewok doesn't respond.

    Noone is blatantly ignoring your mentioned process, but it just simply doesn't work even if we try. So if you would like to make sure that the theory works and Charles gets suspended for all his inappropriate behavior, then fine. He should also issue a public apology to Mox.

  4. I believe it was the other way around...I believe Charles was baiting Mox....

    True. But it's not allowed to talk about Charles. Or Nessa for that matter. Right now, you are facing a ban for mentioning his name ;) Like I said months ago...Charles getting any kind of "power" is the worst idea ever.

    Mr. Ewok doesn't seem to care at all. He always lets Charles do whatever he wants. He doesn't even respond to reports, pms or complaints about Charles's behavior posted through the contact form.

  5. The continuing problem...private comments posted to a public forum. I don't care about your skin tone. I don't care about "cloud berries." I don't need to hear from Jordan. That's not part of the FSU. What's next? How long is your Burka?

    Reported.

  6. I was just trying to help you out so you wouldn't get into a problematic situation with your friends because I've never heard of someone expecting wedding guests buy their own meal. Your divorce has nothing to do with that. Just say you thought of that and everything is perfect :)

  7. Well, my post wasn't actually inappropriate. I just thought it would be helpful to let Sundrop know, that if she wants her guests to pay their tab, she should probably mention it on the invitation.

    Whose post is inappropriate is Malrothien's post in the Signature restriction thread where she told people to shut up which I reported. And that post is still there.

  8. I have a question for experience RUBers regarding Valentine's day:

    Should I buy my wife gifts and flowers on Sunday, February 14th, or should I better wait until Monday, March 8th?

    You don't need to buy anything. When will people get that special times or holidays can be special without robbing the bank and killing each other in the stores? Commercialized much?

    However, I will buy my wife some new high heels with rainbows, diamonds and unicorns :)
