You are applying right? You do realize that if you got that you'd get whine after whine after whine from us how the food offerings suck.

Give me a Mexican formula Coke (en botella), any day... Available at your friendly neighborhood Carniceria/Taqueria/Mercado ^

Costco has cases of it for 70 cents a bottle. Always handy when there's no Passover Coke around.

And, perhaps, make them better? :)

Saturday night was dead at work, but we didn't have a bellman. My parker and I each made an even $50; it's a pooled tip system. I go to count and cut the $100 in the box, and not only is it an even $100, but it's $50 in fives and $50 in singles. The final hotel guest we saw that night happened to tip $6; a $5 and a $1. :eek:

Sunday night was much the same, but slower. The tip box at the end of the night was only $50, but again the split was even: $25 in fives and $25 in singles.

I feel this is too freakish to ignore.

Agree. Let us know if you win ;) I'll do the same.

Plus1's daughter had a successful lemonade stand with 2 neighbors. She cleared over $10 (her share). bl jr was late to the party and only cleared $.25 :D

Rep. Johnson is next. Hopefully CO bans him for his stupid comments about Guam and then, poor baby, he won't be there when the island does capsize. :rolleyes:

Because they are AMEX :rolleyes:

They unceremoniously canceled my account back when the credit crunch started because I hadn't used it in about six months. No skin off my nose though; I don't make/spend enough to qualify for any of the good AMEX cards much less justify their fees.

Further, it is incredibly annoying that Bank of America's VPN kicks me off after 24 hours of being connected. What possible security purpose does that serve?

At least it's only once per day. I'd still like to see his cholesterol and triglycerides before and after.

I seem to remember operating a beverage stand in conjunction with a garage sale we had when I was a kid. It was over 100 degrees and I made close to $20 :)
