Talk to Scott6067, he just got his. That being said it saved him all of 30 seconds at JFK :)

He went through the 'green card' line!

:D I can't stop laughing!

You can buy mixes that basically you add a bottle of beer to or

Here's a recipe

Either way, it's easy and good! I recommend whipped honey butter with it.

Saltgrass Steakhouse has really good Shiner bread. BL JR likes it so much that we have to hold back a piece as dessert for her; otherwise she'd eat the entire loaf!

Thanks!^

I consider that a huge success!

I thought of that, but getting to JFK is a major pain for me.

Ah. I've pretty much decided that SkyTeam is dead to me. I can foresee doing some redemptions via CC, or using :-:Point Transfers, but won't be seeking to actually earn points in any SkyTeam program (unless something BD-esque comes along). Am slowly building my OneWhirled balance with BA, and am quite pleased with the wide-open award availability that is usually there with OW (just need to get around to using it at some point).

I'm with you, though I did try to see if I could get a late flight out of IAH to ATL Thursday (fail. Airtran fail).

OW is good, though I won't fly AA unless my only options were them or WN.

I really *hate* my Dell desktop with Vista -- I'm sure it's got all kinds of cr:rolleyes:p on it, too! It is in an endless l:rolleyes::rolleyes:p to 'update' software -- this happens every time I try to restart it, now!:mad::mad::mad:

Remember -- I am not very tech-savvy!

Maybe next time we'll have to take 20 minutes or so and introduce ourselves to the room. A few people I wanted to meet in AUS I never "met."

There's always next time.

Amazingly, I don't think I gained any weight this weekend. Of course, I skipped dinner entirely on Saturday night and made it to the gym 3 times whilst there.

After CO left, I thought SkyTeam was dead to me until DL gave me free Plat status (without asking for it), a $230 NYE fare to BCN and 20k miles via their Choice Benefit program. After this redemption, I will have 828 miles in my DL account and SkyTeam will, again, be dead to me.

I know gbryan84 has been quite happy with his OW redemptions. :-:

I consider it a success if the house is still standing and we only have cats (our daughter is too young to stay home alone....for now).

Go into the settings and choose memory. There are a couple of settings in there that you'll want to turn on: Mass Storage Mode support and Auto emable mass storage mode when connected. Then it should just appear as another drive in My Computer.

Good idea. I wanted to walk around the Friday night reception meeting people but I arrived just before the SPG speakers so I didn't have a chance to meet and greet as much as I would have like to.

I drank enough beer that I should have gained a few pounds and as far as exercising-well I passed by my hotel workout room every time I took the elevator so that's got to count for something!

I didn't go and managed to gain 3 lbs. I think AUS would have been better as laughing would have burned off any gluttony ;)
