That's why Alamo is great for movies- you can get real butter on the side of good popcorn.

"Butter on the side" is key here. They like to drown the corn in the butter. You need to use just a touch to still let the corn taste come through. :D

I don't, so I'm happy to do the quick turn. I just cannot decide if it is worth the coin now or if I should save in hopes of something decent late summer (or the C fare I'll be buying for the *A mega do).

Mackieman so sorry to hear about your F-I-L. Hope the surgey goes well and that he has a speedy, easy recovery.

Give your wife some extra TLC for her birthday.

Evening, Box!

OK, I need to rant. Nothing about CO or flying or anything so exciting. Simply- my life is one big ball of stess at the moment:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGG GGGHHHHHH

I am having all sorts of problems with my business partner and all I want to do is SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM.



There - that felt better. Well, not really, but what's a girl to do!

Sometimes I wonder about the human race and how people can be so horribly difficult to work with/be around.

OK - rant over.

I'm off to the Bristol on Friday for my tea bag and chocolate run - yeah! Olton I will bring you some Maynards Wine Gums!


In the meantime, I am going to be knee deep in pscyh assessments for the next three days - meh!

But, after that, at least I get to go to Bristol for a few days and get away from my business partner.

if it is within the DEQM period, I would just get it and worry about something else later. I'm planning my work trips and adding extra routing during the DEQM period. After June 15, I plan on scaling back the travel, at least until the next promo that comes around ;).

When you come down here, I will take you to a movie theater where all the popcorn comes free with the ticket and they have a bar where you can buy bottles of wine to take to the seats with you.

Do it. You can always cancel and get a refund after 24 hours. Oh wait, that's what ALCO said to me. ;)

Thanks. :D That will keep me going until I can restock in YVR next month.

Missed a whole day without FT. I was at the Johnson Space Center for coverage of the shuttle launch. It was interesting going into places even the tours don't take you.^ Met an astronaut who worked on the Hubble 7 years ago (and the last successful Columbia mission). Now, I WANT a job there. Anyone have any connections?;)

You should hear Baglady wax poetically about the wine bar at the AMC Pacific Place in HKG. Her order was so large the counterman toted it to her seat.

However, I will take you up on that offer. Thank you kind sir.

I'm still having trouble justifying either purchase right now.

You are not plat already?
