I was burping her against my shoulder, and (not knowning) the burp cloth fell to the side, and I was watching TV. Apparently, she was sucking on my shoulder, and I didn't even feel it. After about 10 minutes, my wife walks by and thought my daughter was sucking blood. No. She starts to laugh... it's a hickey. Let the jokes begin.:D

And here baglady was worried about baglady jr. You might have more to worry about. :eek:

The dog is lightning fast and leaps over fences at the dog park like she is on a trampoline.

Here is her full portfolio

I thought the dog looked like it had some Whippet in it.

Must be a 752 -- where 16 DEF are only opened up a day or two before flight time.

Yes it is. I like how three people jumped on 7abc. Be comfortable everyone, spread out.:rolleyes: Don't they know people going to BRS appear not to get enough fiber in their diet and spend excessive amount of time in that little room in front you causing the line to back up in your foot space? :eek: (I'm not the only one to have noticed this) I currently have row 9 all to myself. I'm sure it would be frowned upon if I bridge over the aisle to create a bigger bed. Though I'm concerned that the people who are sitting in 8DE have a screaming baby or are people who "don't want to be a bother.":rolleyes: Ok why would 2 people (elites too) put themselves in Row 14 (non-reclining regular pitch Y seats)? They've been there for a couple of weeks. :rolleyes: Simular to the plat that's in 15C :rolleyes:

Outta Tulsa this morning. They down graded from 737-7 to a 735-5. No one seems to be downgraded as of yet. I do hate the over head bins on these though. They really should just seal them up and not tempt one to use them. One lady tried to force her stuff into the bin even though it wasn't opening for her.

I am ready for this trip. I needed to get outta Stillwater! Good morning box!

I'm on one of the DL Mad Dogs with the small overheads - seventh to board in F and almost had to put my bag in coach.

If anyone knows how to get a car at BWI this afternoon for less than $73 a day, I would appreciate the input.

When and where do you want to return it? Thrifty has a :rolleyes: Dodge :rolleyes: Caravan :rolleyes: for $48.59 if you rent this afternoon for one day.

For some reason, I wish I was flying today! But no, have to wait for a couple more weeks until my next trip...

Any B:rolleyes:x recommendations as to what to do in DUB fro three days? I've never been there before, but Mrs. Enmascarad:rolleyes: has about 10 years ago... Should we stay in DUB all of the time? Drive around Ireland? A bit of each? What do people drink there? (Besides Guinness, that is...)

G'night sfogate!

Guinness and Murphy's are high on the list, as is a number of other different beers and whiskeys.

DUB is great, but after you do the brewery and Trinity there is not a ton of touristy stuff. IMHO the south of Ireland is a must see, but it may not be worth it given your short stay. And, despite what it may appear, it is NOT a short drive down there from Dublin. I might suggest some day trips to the countryside around Dublin instead.

I do know one parent that actually paid the school their daily fee that they got from the state if they wouldn't ding her son for missing school.

That is so wrong on a number of levels. Kids learn and retain so much more when experiencing things in person. My sis got back from a trip to Belize with her 3 kids under 8 and they learned a ton about a different culture, history and ecosystem.

Thanks for the advice. Still awaiting a gate in ATL but when I can boot the laptop, I'll switch from my Budget minivan to a Dollar/Thrifty minivan - couldn't get their minivan promotion to take yesterday :rolleyes:

With the rain coming, don't feel like dealing with trains ...

rolov this picture of her might be the best: http://worldsurfer.smugmug.com/galle...54_FxFat/Large

It's where CM posted. If you wanted, you could experience the lightrail to nowhere for a few blocks and then walk. It would at least get you on the same block with the Toyota Center.

Morning, Box. Must get coffee. But first, see how far I fell in the Hilton challenge.
