Mrs. photog72 and I are not happy either. We loved 'em. We now buy the Biscoffs locally, since those were our favorites when we flew US after the XOXOs left.

Wikipedia tells me it is this uninhabited island, owned by a Scottish nobleman who has given one company the exclusive right to harvest stones from the island.

A perusal of the same wikipedia article has informed me that the Canadian men's national curling championships are sponsored by Tim Horton's. That is your donut fact for the day.

I remember that they would take the XOXOs off the basket during the summer when they might melt in the heat. It was always with great anticipation that we waited for them to return in September.

We pulled out of US when the cactus crowd decided that FLL was not a place they wanted to do much business. Also, they thought that there were too many FC seats in the US East airplanes and that there was too much seat pitch front and back. :rolleyes:

H&R Block is marketing a huge scam on the poor and uneducated. $39 for a 1040EZ return?!?!?!:eek::rolleyes: It can be done for FREE online. If you're so desperate, go to a library and use their computers for free! I should open up a competing operation with a slick ad campaign, and I'll only charge you $35 for a 1040EZ!:rolleyes:

I heard the complaints from those flying into LGA from FLL when I flew into PHL. They were livid about the service cutbacks FLL-LGA.

I was wondering who their sponsor was. The NBC :rolleyes: were talking about how some members of the team's only job is curling.

Very soon I hope! :-:

That was not much more than a year after the old US management had told us about all of the plans they had to make FLL a focus city.

No matter, we can not patronize any airline that does not have regular NYC to South Florida service. So they were toast with us when they cut out the nonstops.
