FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Hi Box! I was so close to teh border today I decided to throw caution to the wind and hit the Prime Outlets in Massachusetts. Browsing through the Coach store, I got in touch with my feminine side(it doesn't happen often) and bought a couple of bags. I love when they allow you to stack discounts.:-: I also did damage at Ralph Lauren.:D

Mid-week at the outlets is fairly peaceful:)

Raising the thermostat a little during the day usually saves money. Raising it too much, or turning the system off, may cost more in the long run.

Very true. At a camp I worked at they were previously having the AC in the kitchen come on at 9 am and it ran for an hour straight as the people working in the kitchen got there at 6 am. After I mentioned that they leave the AC running some over night and earlier in the day they saved about 3K in a 3 month period!

Once, going into my room for the first time the first stop was #2 in the bathroom. So I'm sitting there and notice someone else's stuff on the counter. Yep, I just christened a room occupied by another guest! Good thing that person was not there at the time. :eek:

But I did make sure to flush before I quickly left.

...and that is your poo post of the day. :D

Happened in reverse on the first cruise I took teh Connection on. She had to go as soon as we got to the cabin...ok, fine. Goes, flushes, then a knock on the cabin door. Apparently someone in their group canceled and we were the cabin interrupting a string of four of vie couples that knew each other. This guy asks if we would mind switching cabins. We politely decline, and they leave. Then-girlfriend looks at me and says "Nope. We already $hit in the $hitter."

Some people think I'm a legend.

A subset of these people think I'm a legend in a good way.

Others think I'm a legend for negative reasons.

Some people think I'm nothing more than a legend in my own mind.

Regardless, I'm halfway to being a Posting Legend...and for this occasion, I present a visual aid.

It really is nice! Spent some time, nicely buzzed after afternoon drinking with sbm12, with my pup at the dog park enjoying the weather.

They have these programmable thermostats that will turn your AC on before you come home so it's comfy. ^:-::rolleyes:

I wouldn't.

You'd pay for it to keep me from sitting next to you! :eek::D:rolleyes::-:
