It hurts to think that UA may have done something correctly.

The new one that they cloned in the T-Mo store has not rejected any listings so I guess that my advice was correct.

I don't think I've used the SIM card for address book storage since around 2003. Since then every phone swap I've done has fortunately involved backing up contacts to my computer and then reloading them using a USB cable, or in the case of my BlackBerries, just using their device transfer wizard.

I believe rolov, sbm12 and myself are the ones you're thinking of.

I'm not sure if we're on the same flights or not, but i'm flying out on 3/27 and flying back on 3/30.

My trivia contest has two questions left to finish the details of...the light is indeed at the end of the tunnel. Writing and editing 30 six-question categories is hazardous to your health.

Nice! I may look in to joining you guys if I can't get anything in Europe to work out...

I just did a search set for the previous one day of my own posts. This will be post #99 in that time span. I'm truly surprised that my pants haven't started to weave themselves into my chair like the fat lady's skin into the couch.

Night, Box.

Sorry CM. I can't believe how my Panthers took out the Devils last night. The most lopsided loss of the season for the Devils who had won 13 out of their last 15. Is the playoff drought over for the Cats? I hope so.

Yup.

I'm flying down on the non-stop and back on the IAH connection of ~70 minutes. Depending on timing I might try to SDC to a connection going south for the miles, but unlikely, especially if my upgrade clears. If it doesn't I'll be begging one of you guys to be listed as a platinum companion rather than the silver that I'll be on my own at that point. :eek:

You guys mind if I maybe tag along? I was looking at prices and they aren't terrible out of IAH.

Accordingly, we have completed a historical review of these contacts and have concluded that a majority appear to be directed toward securing goodwill compensation in the form of entitlements, i.e. certificates and miles for future travel and upgrades. Our review found that although you flew only 24,891 actual miles in 2008, you contacted us to obtain mileage compensation of 68,500 miles, numerous upgrades, and $5,125 in dollar off certificates.

Morning Box.

Two observations from last night -- after catching up on TiVo I'm really worried Family Guy jumped the shark on Sunday. I hope it was just a fluke.

I also rediscovered Green Day's Dookie. What a great album.

ETA - my friends that live in Astoria, use Time Warner. They're not crazy about the service, but have no real complaints other than a buggy DVR.
