FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Same here in Atlanta, only about 20° cooler. I have the windows open and fans out airing out the stuffiness inside. The cats are going crazy. They love the windows being open.

Sorry to hear that.

I was told that official confirmation on bonuses and promotions for me would be coming out on the 15th (isn't that today??), and be effective on April 1.

Just as I suspected, nothing in writing today...

The sun is finally supposed to return tomorrow! And, with temps in the low-60s, it might actually be a decent day.

Some how cooped up in an office without windows makes it an indecent day for me.;)

sure you can, you can bust off the old vestiges and go for whatever you want.....but I am not going to criticize you for sticking with it either.

I have failed in my rice thing, but it was never lent anyway, I enjoyed my glorious steak, chicken and ribs I cooked on Saturday night 3 times so far, and a bit more to go!

I even spread the non lent friendly foods to my neighbors, since most everyone seems to say, no meat for some stupid reason.

There are many worse seats than that on an ERJ. :)

They're listed on FareCompare, so I'm guessing it's straight up. Like I said, I didn't find anything in a quick search so YMMV on actually finding availability.

Looks like a few L fares at $212++. Sadly, no L inventory seems to be out there. :(

What's the difference between drinking beer but not drinking hard alcohol? It's like me giving up chocolate but eating M&M's.;):D

I've given up alcohol and coffee but I've never given up yummy animals for Lent.

"Offended" and "entitled" come to mind immediately. I'll have to check Lake Superior State University's Banished Words List for more ideas. @:-)

FC is showing a few sub-$400 TATL fares to MAD, MXP, BCN, BRU and ARN, out of EWR for the last 2 weeks of March. I wasn't able to find any availability after a quick search, but figured I'd mention it in case they were of use to someone here...

Hmmmmmm. I'd do a night in Europe to yield more miles from my ETC than I could ever get by bouncing around domestically.

You just don't understand the culture of the Woodford fans, nor the quantity of port / wine / martinis I tend to drink. My alcohol consumption via beer-drinking is much smaller, as I don't want to get out of bed too many (additional) times overnight.

One that I really hate and think is used and abused to the point of becoming meaningless is "outrageous." Nowadays it is applied to anything, small or large, that violates somebody's sense of self-worth.
