icurhere2, you would be interested to know that I was able to get our group tonight a 10% discount on our bill!^ I happenned to pick up a 'hotel guest' promo menu that I saw as I was exiting the sister bar (where I found jrzyshawn & SO) to the restaurant that we went to meet baglady & Plus1. They even discounted the drinks!:D

That's a big detail I hadn't considered. While I have selected flights for needed itineraries with the hope they develop into VDB opportunities, I am not conversant on details of pure bump runs.

Discounts on things you were going to purchase anyway are always ^

On my 'power-shopping' adventure on Sat. - I was able to get an incredible deal on a beautiful leather coat with multiple discounts & coupons. ^ The original retail was $685 :eek: -- selling for $200, then marked down to $150 -- I ended up getting for a little over $50!:-::D ^

Having a bit of fun looking at the PEOPLExpress thread.

Yep -- baglady 'approved'!:D

Alright - I need to get sleep. Completely spaced on the time (been on the west coast since Friday).

Gnite, Box!

In what world is a 17" laptop portable?? :confused: :p

It turns out that CM only had the good rum in the Y cabin cart, not up front. I was drinking crap last night and this afternoon compared to the good stuff on tonight's flight.

Been done drinking for 2 hours and home for ~ 20 minutes now. Still pretty drunk . :eek:

Good morning, Box.

Yay! No snow day called here. The snow fell overnight, but didn't stick to the roads, so it's not a snow day!

Well, once the kitchen is done, we move onto the dining room and guest bathroom (just tile floor, paint, and fixtures). After that, it's the living room (fake hardwood, paint, furniture, and home theater system). Then we can finally start working on the upstairs. I know it's not as big as building a house out of a hole in the ground, but it still has it's :rolleyes: moments.

Once the downstairs is done, we'll have to have a Box mini-DO.

Did you fly back from PTY last night? I thought you had the upgrade on all legs? Or did you make the FA go back to the Y cart to get the rum?

FT Lurker Feb 16, 2010 5:08 am

Good morning, Box.

On my way to teh Passport Office to expedite my renewal! :eek:

Nor here either. Hallelujah!

The roads aren't great and there is lots of traffic due to inadequate snow removal, but at least the kids are out of the house.
