When as a kid, grandfather sat us down and explain that we all have one spirits following us, but he said I have two. Plus its also the American Indian term for a gay person, which I am so I ended up using it.

History:
Been a lurker of FT since about 2004, not really grasping the concept of mileage runs even though I was a TWA frequent flyer until it folded into American. Lost my miles (wasn't much anyway, I think it was 48,000) since I didn't fly with AA within the specified time and stood miles-less for a few years. Then got the flying bug and started flying with different airlines (DL, B6, AA, BA, HA, CO) until I finally sat down and felt more comfortable (pardon the pun) with United. It was until a year after that, I officially joined FT on 2007.

Even then, still in lurker mode for a whole year until my first post in 2008.

My post count is small, since I like to read and learn as much as possible before I post or feel comfortable enough to not sound like an idiot. (although that might not be the case sometimes) But all in all, I've learned alot but still have plenty to learn. This year the FF bug really hit me. Attended my first mileage run seminar this past Aug in ORD, did 2 mileage runs and have increased my miles to qualify me to 1P (short of 14000 for 1K) in one years time. Although with the new UA rules and my work schedule I doubt i'll make it to 1K ever, but damn it I'll keep trying

On a side note, want to thank all those that post and contribute to FT and provide such valuable tips and guidance to newbies and old timers alike. Also kudos to the staff for keeping things in line.
