Then she said "I can't believe the other airlines wouldn't take my ticket." :rolleyes:

CO is honoring Spirit tickets btw.

Sorry. It was miserable here all day. The sun just came out after 4 days of dark, dreary, rain.



I've taken that class 5 times.:rolleyes::eek:;)

Purely for pre-emptive insurance savings.

I've never had a point on my license. I just do it for the insurance reduction. I'm pretty awesome about sensing speed traps;)

If fares drop as ordinary when the fall comes around, there's the possibility of trips where one could get double MQM for "free" - the RDM can be swapped for gift cards. :cool: I'll definitely keep you apprised of what I find. :D

My old agent actually called me up and we had the following [brief] conversation

If an agent calls you and then hangs up, that's completely :rolleyes: and should never be forgotten.

The SO stayed with me for 10 days last month and I just got the electric bill. :rolleyes:

Until then, I have rented out my parking spot to subsidize my insurance when I am forced to get a car (ie. have kids). Hopefully that will not happen for a few years.

I know NY horrible in that respect. A coworker who came from the UK was forced to pay 5K for the first 2 years on an old Honda Civic because they wouldn't accept a safe driving record from overseas.

Hope you don't get "forced to have kids":eek:

My employer would allow us to take it on work time^, but boy, it's like watching paint dry at this point. I dread when my three years are up. Except now it's offered on-line so it may turn into a speed reading course.

Can you set the circuit breaker to trip at a lower voltage for future visits:confused:

Moving south and getting rid of a car helps quite a bit as well. :)

We now pay about $50/month for 2 drivers and 1 car. ^

I took it for free from the FD a few times where beer, doughnuts and pizza were served. Nothing like a bunch of drunk firemen yelling out the wrong answers to make it a tad more interesting!

What better way to welcome sdm1130 to Texas then to go to a gun show not too far from his residence. :)
