Hmmm, That means I can go off unemployment and go on short term disability (it's a state program in NJ) which I think pays more and then go back on unemployment which would end at a later date because of being on disabillity. Hmmmm (just joking)

You forget, I have teenagers....if I dropped dead they would just step over me and think nothing of it. :D

Actually they are the best kids. But I will milk it for all it's worth...a few dinners cooked by my kids and no playing taxi cab for my son.

My tech support says yes :) I'm going with the newer model of the same phone so I don't have to start all over. My tech support says the I phone isn't quite where I need it to be (not sure what that means) and I am not a BB fan. I've had the treo and blackjack and wasn't a fan of either of those so I'll stick with a newer version of my brick.

You mean this isn't a cult? :)

It looks like UA dropped the LAX-SYD fare again, i'm going to see if I can get some good fares. I need to get some more lines in the Southern Hemisphere per ALCO. :D

In LA, the only thing worse than the Yankees are the Giants. ;)

Are you going to have a little bell to ring and drive them nuts?

J Edward is either a MR hero or nuts. I haven't decided which yet. I just can't imagine doing that run.

Maybe if I was 20 years younger and drunk the entire time, nah, still can't imagine it.

I explained what he did to freinds this past weekend and they would go with nuts by the way they looked at me after explaining it. :rolleyes: I think they now think I'm nuts for even knowing about it.

We're so California that we call each other up while we're only one room away from each other.

What I really want is an air horn so that I can blast them into listening to me. :D

I may have been there few nights, but I got to tote lots of luggage over multiple days. I think she married me for my ability to be a bearer and put an amazing amount of baggage into a rental car.

I've learned to be careful who I tell that story to. Just like him doing three SEA-NRT runs in early Jan to have his Plat status for next year secured.

The boy is insane. He's been awfully quiet, he must still be recovering. :)

It took you all this time to figure that out?:p
