better late than never

our luggage showed up, nearly 2 weeks late. i was ready to file a claim, which u can do 21 days later as its officially declated 'lost' and not late. when i looked into this, the nasty surprise was that for either airline or insurance company to compensate anything (ie. 50% of the value..) they want receipts. who has a receipt for a tshirt they bought 3 years ago? we wouldve have barely any receipts...! without proof of purchase it's like the bag and its contents dont exist. i was mentally prepared to start replacing items, so it was almost weird when the bag arrived. the last call that i made to British Airways was me obviously asking "wtf?!" in a nicer way, and them putting me on hold while they called airports and putting it out there to look for this bag. they already knew it was a black backbag, but asked about any brand names or other things on it, and i said no its just plain black, its a british army issue deployent bag, so. at the end of the call he said "thank you for your service", lol. i know it must be a coincidence, but next morning when i checked the online tracking, it said its been found and on its way. it arrived ina couple hours. honestly i had forgotten it was a british army bag, i reclaled it being israeli army - i probably looked at theirs too. this was eBay 10 years ago.
yay, bag is home!

i wonder how it works in english language; when do 2 words become one? like pushup bra?

Netflix had Kevyn Aucoin documentary, that was like a flash from the past because i had a book or 2 of his. I certainly appreciated his work.
