It's interesting that they don't cover that one. It's kind of short-sided, to me, much like an insurance company not encouraging physicals. Wouldn't they have to cover you on-going if you contracted the disease in Africa?

It isn't that they explicitly do not cover it. It is that they do not provide any reimbursement for out-of-network vaccines and there are no docs I could find in-network that provide it. I actually had a really great doc today and it was well worth it to talk through everything with him and get the shot. I don't mind the outlay at all.

My coworker just came up to me asking about UA vouchers. Everyone in her family got a $250 off voucher for delays, not sure which kind but she said she couldnt use it to go overseas. She offered to sell them to me for cheap if I could get some use out of them. The question is do you earn miles on UA vouchers - if details are needed to determine this I can find out if you tell me what I need to look for.

SOme do and some dont.

Which type of $ value cents don't earn miles?

I am hoping that they will leave our Box alone after the merger and not get rid of it because they lack humor.

Nothing against the man, the myth, or his legend, but had someone else started that thread, I would have given it higher odds of survival.

That's fun to watch no matter the circumstance.

Is it wrong to be considering a last-minute trip to BOI this weekend specifically to visit my last two un-visited states (ID and OR)?

Certainly not.

Could be line of the day right there.

Here are some wagged, back-of-envelope numbers:
Total CO forum "normal" threads: 35,000
Average view per "normal" thread: 300
Total views of normal threads: 1,150,000

Views of stickies and popular threads: 800,000

Box views: 2,000,000.

Quite approximately, the Box accounts for half of all eyes on ads in the CO forum since inception, and probably growing at a faster rate. It's worth something financially.

But it's a lounge thread...where people have fun. The F-word is banned over there.

I can think of several combinations of numbers that would be anything from the sarcastic to the sinister that would associate nicely for me.

Long day and its not over. :rolleyes:

EUA's are working perfectly. Still 10 seats on my flight tomorrow, less than 24 hours before flight-time and I'm still confirmed in back. :rolleyes:

Finding a 4th of July trip this late in the game is not proving to be very easy... I thought we were just staying around here but, at dinner tonight, my wife asked me if we could go somewhere. :-:

Any suggestions? <$500 and either a beach or mountain destination.

Well, made it through the work thing today. Time to head home and motivate to work out.

And that's a reflection of a view of the forum's purpose and decorum. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

My point, however, is that there might be financial reasons to include the issue in FT thread "merger discussions" as much as there are reasons to include extra room seating, logos, and SWU's in the companies' discussions.
