No. Hence the "or no assets."

Plenty of very wealthy people technically have no assets.

Flight up to EWR was on-time and we got one upgrade and one in ELR. Almost hard to believe.

Well I am on the plane back to BNA. Officially tured down for being too tall even after telling them my height two weeks ago. :(


Got on earlier flight back to BNA in an Exit row. Will grab dinner at airport and head straight to Art institue as they are having an oreintation for new hirers tonight at 5 pm and I get in at 5:30 and goes to 9 pm then drive home for an hour. Then bck up in the morning to come back!!

Nice to have a job bummed it isn't on a plane. :(

:eek: :( :mad: Sorry to hear this.

:D On the other hand now you don't have to make the 'decision' and wonder what if.

:rolleyes:.indeed.

That sucks.

While waiting to hear the outcome of my criminal justice major and his first speeding offense I was reminded of this handy website to locate speed traps. Speed Traps

That site would be much more useful if it had a section that dealt with major roadways, i.e. the numerous cutouts on the shoulder of the Parkway.

I've seen where people mention backing in behind emergency vehicle exit ramps and things like that.

I'm going to get in trouble for this magnitude of multi-quoting...

Oh, thank goodness you people have stopped quoting and reposting that monstrosity. :rolleyes:

While I am the only one to blame for arriving at the gate so late, a bit of compassion would have been welcome.

To add to the insult, while at customer service rebooking, I saw my plane sit at the gate for another 30 minutes, and was told by the rebooking agent they left with one empty seat. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Oh, ouch, ouch. Worst feeling ever. :( I'm so glad to have only had it once (though it resulted in an overnight in ATL). I hope your day got better.

Yup, and the line for it is often longer than the security line.

I was on a tour of the South my freshman year where we piled into the bus and headed to Charleston airport to catch our plane back to BOS.

Too bad apparently the flights were out of CHARLOTTE.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: We got home eventually; I can't remember (and don't want to know) how. This is what happens when only one person hangs on to the tickets.

At least it's an actual, legitimate piece of music - the CO underscore tune just sounds like a stylistic imitation of such.

tjtenor4 practically BEGS me to stalk him on all possible occasions, whether it's flights on flightaware or regular daily driving via Google Latitude. I seriously think there would be many, many fewer affairs if more couples were on Latitude or similar location-based services. :p

Living in certain parts of the South would quickly change your thoughts on there being more common sense there.

NJ and the Northeast really aren't nearly as bad as you make them out to be.

Agreed. Having lived in New England, the Midwest, and the South, I am quite aware that none of them is perfect. There are many nice things about the South, for sure, but I don't know if "common sense" would be one of the terms I'd associate most strongly.

Exactly. Fiancee is on the "I want to upgrade my engagement ring" jag again. I told her that if her solution to do so yields RDM's and/or EQM's, I'll be satisfied.

Upgrade? I thought y'all weren't even married yet...

And on that note, off to rehearsal.

I am indeed...

btw my flight today had a south african white wine, it was nothing special, but drinkable.
only 2nd time to have wine on CO, and much better than the last rubbish they served on BF flight. (cali wine)
I have however been seeing a trend recently (even if not drinking I like to look) and seeing a lot of Argentinian, Chilean, and NON california wines.
