They had already gone through about half of it today when I was there and at least 5 other folks showed up to swap tanks in the 10 minutes I was there. It was pretty ridiculous.

Please don't call the cops on me icurhere2 even though I committed a crime.

You used a shopping cart to bring the propane tank from Brooklyn to Manhattan?

:mad::td::rolleyes:

ETA: cheepneezy beat me to the punch!

Wouldn't the same theory apply for paid internet access in the room? Lots of folks complain about that at full service properties. The simple economics say that you charge it if you can.

Pretty much.

sounds like Connection's parents. Cheapest available under all circumstances. They don't grasp the concept of paying for loyalty and that loyalty being rewarded.

Conference call mercifully ends 35 minutes ahead of schedule.

I'll be in Asheville this weekend if I decide to go. Otherwise I may end up in Wrightsville Beach with some friends. Or I might just end up staying in CLT and moping around my hotel room.

Have fun!! I was going to say if you were there a weekend with a fare sale I would hop over!

Where are you going, Food Lion? :confused:

ROFLMAO that you would know!! Forgive me father for I have sinned. It was a late night run for manufactored foods only. No fresh meats of any kind!!

There is no replacement. Best thing about the merger is increasing my IAH transits and opportunities to get a cone of the good stuff.

True. The E1-E2 Food court has Blue Bell assortment. Also, Outback and a few other chains carry Handmade Vanilla as their spec for ice cream. They have it shipped into the local market!!

Would do the same except for the potential for thunderstorms. As a result, I'm starting my Hyatt run early and visiting one of my favorite restaurants for half-price dining.

Looks like a great place!! I will have to try it out sometime, once you let me in on the half price secret!!

I can appreciate both charcoal and propane (not at the same time, but ...).

Be seated in the main dining room after 9 p.m. I tend to visit the adjoining Trader Joe's or the Apple Store until it's time for dinner. It's excellent when you're going to a game or concert downtown or at Vandy.

HR New Brunswick is showing $299 a night for two Fridays hence :eek: I have to move away from the default plan.

Breyers = blech. Too bad you don't have HEB. Their ice cream is pretty good.

Another injury to an athlete caused by show-boating.

Good evening, Box.

In this age of e-mail and text messages, an actual thank you card is very nice indeed. ^

The other half is an Amy's fan (AUS only, though, I think). Right down from the PC elevator in terminal. It's her first stop upon deplaning. I can take or leave it, but Blue Bell cookie dough is certified for me.

Yea, wont buy Breyers again. HEB has good and I heard it is on par with Blue Bell.
