I received $25 for broken AVOD (without asking) last Nov

Should I ask for compensation? I'm inclined not to. I'd rather keep my complaining for the "big" ticket items.

Perhaps you can switch with 1B. How was Alaska? Get the 752?

Stayed in 1A. Took advantage and slept! Alaska was a quick turn, but awesome flight. Didn't get the 752, nor did I get an upgrade on the way back :( Didn't really matter. I slept most of the way back.

LOL! I had a really sweet young man on my IAH-ANC flight in F. He was so cute. Just graduated, heading off to Law School in the fall. He was like an eager little puppy! He was chatting to evereyone, spent most of the flight talking to me (even though I really wanted to just read and watch the movie!). He was so funny - at one point he prodded me and said "wanna play a game?" :LOL! We ended up playing Tic-Tac-Toe and boxes. I wanted to pat him on the head and take him home and put him on display on my mantlepiece, he was so cute!

Later Box. Off to the tile store to pick out some travetine tiles for the bathroom

Costco has travertine at the moment - great price - about $3 a square foot I think.

I was thinking maybe the Presidents club would close down for the evening and they can have finger food, or a small spread and drinks, nothing to fancy but black tie would be nice… I am just sayin…

welcome Pos J 2A. Brituchenite endorses this!

I'm at the LGA PC for a little longer (just this one more beer). Fozz was at the LGA RCC about an hour before I got here; just missed him.

I had no idea you were at LGA today. I just did a drive-by of the lounges as I was running late.

Hi Box. 14 hour day. That's what happens when a server rack comes off the truck shaped like a rh:rolleyes:mbus. Get to try to get things working tomorrow. Awesome™.

You didn't send it back?

Waiting for traffic to die down before leaving for HP.

flipping channels on the TV. Saw on TLC a show about wedding dresses - some girl is paying $12,000 for her wedding dress and it is a floor SAMPLE (and disgustingly horrible IMHO). OMG are these people crazy?

twelve. thousand. dollars. For a dress you wear once! Give me strength!

I stepped out and left. No thanks!!!

It was ours(we're moving)...with servers in it. Fortunately, they survived.

I'm sorry for you, too!:(
