The Billecart will stand up longer than the Cristal which seems to get more and more acidic as you get to the second and third bottles. :D

I vote for the Billecourt Salmon.

I definitely have to get some now -- a testimonial from Monitor -- that does it for me!;)^

I think Mrs. Monitor and I were separated at birth! ^

Plus1 adds a very heartfelt "Thanks, box, for all you've written, prayed, and thought"

Back in IAH after a nice weekend in NYC.

The lack of pre-departure drinks may have to do with the catering issues baglady mentioned. There was no hot towel service, not that I care, and no wine was served past row 2. They didn't even ask others if they wanted wine. Really strange. Even weirder was the fact that my wife's salad came with a dressing container that was already open.

It is 11:30 pm Central on a Sunday, and I'm still in a meeting. :rolleyes: This started at 4.

Now that you've got the worst possible mind picture.......




No, there was no blood. I had control of the saw and got it shut off and on the ground before I fell to the ground separately. Likely heading to the hospital in the morning... crutches are going to make travelling difficult. :(

Good night, box.

Yikes!:eek: Hope is all heals up quickly!^

Plus1 hadn't seen the Hooters one; so we watched it before the White Castle one came on. Now, we're watching 7-11. It may be the best thing that's happened to working America.

I did not know that 7-11 made their own donuts.

Indeed :rolleyes: - is this a regularly-scheduled thing or some form of emergency call?

She was 91 and had a great life. She has declined the past few months, but not enough to stop her from telling me great things like "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was I thinking when I voted for x or y"; "Danactive works and you should drink it every day"; or telling me tales from her earlier days as a real estate agent to the stars. She only wore Ferragamos, hated cillantro and she died knowing the love of an amazing man for many years; even though they were never married. I told my sil and niece that she was a great role model for us ladies.

Plus1 and I may not live as long as she; but she solidified that you have to live each day to the fullest.

What wonderful stories!:-: I hear ya about living 'each day to the fullest'!^

How about a six pack? ;) I had six bottles of wine ready for AUS and I even had packed the bottle opener; unusual for me!
