I haven't ventured out to the main forum in days. Was he expecting any sympathy?

out in LA --in Dec. I was the first B:cool:Xer he met, in person!;):D
I have been fortunate, though -- I have actually met quite a few B:cool:Xers in the (relatively) short time I've been on FT!^

You made me more comfortable in meeting Box folks. ...or was it the Grey Goose? :D

I've even had champagne room temp. I gave a friend a very nice bottle and she didn't realize it needed chilled. I didn't have the heart to tell her then, but she had some chilled at my house and asked if that was the way it was supposed to be served. At least she knows now!

The only time I don't use the AmEx card is when I think there might be an issue w/my tkt or something (like when it says 'standby') :rolleyes: -- then I just show the PC card to get in.^

Well, I think he was thinking that the PC would be none-the-wiser since the exp date on the card was still valid. He didn't understand that it gets swiped & the AmEx pays CO for each admission!:rolleyes: Then others pointed out that it was 'fraud' to try to 'sneak' in -- knowing that the card was not valid!:eek: Of course there are those who said 'YMMV' -- I don't agree w/that MO, either!:td:

I use my p club card for access like tonight when I wasn't flying. When flying, I use amex. I'm hoping that giving CO a few extra nickels now and then will help from taking things away, though doesn't appear that's working. The mints in the IAH P club have changed from starlight to crap Chinese ones.

I think they can still tell that you are a P club member (on the screen) even when you don't use it for entry.

On this beautiful Sunday evening (happens to be Easter) with multiple earthquakes (including Death-Quake 2010 :rolleyes:), and a possible rainstorm here in Southern California, I offer teh Box post 3,000 in said Box.
