Cartoons on Fox seemed more compelling than Closing Ceremony.

Greetings from CM 804. We all cleared our upgrades on PTY-JFK.

Good night, Box!

:D I needed my daily dose of :rolleyes:, so started reading the thread.

We are home and glad to be here.

Thank you for all the messages today. This is a tough time for Plus1 and his brother and sister. She was their last remaining family member (because we're not counting the idiot that is their uncle as family; he and sfogate's sister would get along well).

My sil and niece flew home yesterday via IAH. I had given them both some drink coupons and when I spoke with our niece yesterday, she was drinking a very large beer. After a three hour layover, and having had very little sleep, she left a FB message for said idiot uncle that was quite :eek:. Deserved, but . . . :eek: She may have said all the things sfogate is wanting to say to her sister!

Was upgraded at the three hour mark (changed tix yesterday to today); was surprised as it had been booked full; then one seat opened up but I was #2. I told Plus1 I would decline it so that I could sit with him (one of the rare times I would ever do that ;) ) but he said no. Not only had they not catered my precious Coke Zero, but there was no and I mean *ZERO* alcohol on board. FA said it was a "catering issue" and they'd been having "catering issues". :confused: Let me say, there were some very, very unhappy folks. I heard one FA tell the other that people were asking for comment cards but they didn't have any of them, so they were writing down 800-we don't care for them. I felt bad for the FAs, who were excellent.

On the drive home, a shuttle driver was cutting off drivers and driving about 20 miles over the speedlimit. I called and spoke to someone at their corporate who first told me they'd just had another call on the same driver :eek: and would be dealing with it. They gave me a tracking # and said they'd have someone follow up with me. A+ for customer service.

baglady and Plus1, I am very sorry for your loss.

Glad you're back home - know it's been a rough week.

I didn't know Amazing Race was back on.

^ for being able to laugh at your mistakes!

They are in Argentina.

I'd also like to add my condolences to baglady and Plus1. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with your loss.

Thanks to you and all here.

Marriott needs to change asking "What brings you to town?" :rolleyes: My profile for res. always says business whether I am or not. Is it really the front desk clerk's business what I'm doing in town?

Plus1 and I were not up to going for dinner last night, so we decided to stop at the market; pick up appropriate beverages; crackers and cheese, etc. We ended up at a Korean market which was a very ^ experience. They even had wines from India (didn't partake). It made us realize we need to shop our own various Asian markets.

Welcome back, bl.:) A good dose of Box :rolleyes: can be comforting.

It certainly can! That's why a daily requirement is so important :)

^ to Asian markets. So much awesome (and sometimes simply unbelievable) stuff there.

I need to find a good one that's closer than Brooklyn, though. People in my neck of the woods (Olton Hall, Steve GadFly, Brituchenite, etc) - any suggestions?

I have a great Korean supermarket not too far away from my office. My pantry has some rather interesting additions.
