Hmm. Now to determine if I need/want both Ka and Ku bands or is Ku sufficient for my area.

Go for both. If you don't have a dish that covers everything, they will likely want to replace it.

Plus, they keep moving channels around, particularly as they add more HD to the newer satellites.

You guys keep talking about HD, and Im thinking about a 1080p televison :D

Having to change my SFO ticket for two weeks from Friday. While I have to pay the 150 to charge it, I have switched to flights that are $111 difference in fare. Makes up for the change fee a little!!

The Osteens frighten me. There is something incredibly weird about them both.

I cancelled by AmexPlat b/c we haz paid PC membership -- well, paid via the P+ Mastercard. The membership rewards program isn't that great either, but I do like the SPG card ^

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

I tried lemonade stands when I was a kid, never made any $ that I can remember :confused:

CM, you baffle me.

A C-bomb reference in Teh Box. I figured if anyone was laying odds as to where that would come from, the favorite was not the one who pulled thru with it. :D

The C-Bomb is resevered for very, very specific but deserving people. Like my late father's wife.

Git 'er done, Brit!

Today's dilemma -- should I go for long bike ride or rest? I've been working out every day, and I'm kinda achey.... AND -- the worst part of all -- I lost three games in a row of racquetball yesterday. Unacceptable! I wonder if it is because my body is fatiqued... or maybe I just suck. :p

This is my thought as well.

There has to be a line where fare ceases to matter. I think charging for carryons is it.

I don't think anyone will follow in the US.

Are you planning on coming? SPG wants to know if they should prepare a couch in the basement for you...

Yeah I was told there was a room, now there is not. I will call the General Member line to reserve a lobby couch.

They have some comfy couches in many SPG properties.

Just in case you leftyour computer connected and not otherwise secured and wandered away.

I dunno, but having interacted with her and her staff directly I can assure anyone who does think such that they are wrong.

Chase is still being :rolleyes: about those checks I was trying to get copies of last week. At least I'm making progress in my programming efforts. Otherwise today would be a total wash.
