I don't think they can make a chair wide enough for those two right now.

Two potential responses:

1. "I thought it was Jon Plus 8 Minus Kate"
2. "Personal Foul - piling on, 15 yard penalty"*

* "Piling on" is really a category of personal foul.

Dove the blue hole today. That dive sucked but the others were great.

Dinner time now before the wife kills me.

Probably would be a good idea to go eat dinner ...

Back on a travel subject - found some Park Hyatt Paris Vendome toiletries; I think a good business model might be to give some small toiletries as a parting gift to customers (for any hotel with a signature scent). Will I consider Vendome or Madeleine the next time I'm in Paris? Absolutely.

Unfortunately, yes. I see it almost every day. :(

Glad to hear it was just a hypoglycemia issue.

9-1-1, what's your :rolleyes:? Off to call social services... -sigh-

I sent my first ever PM to CO Insider - my itin/reservation reached my "at least 3 things being buggy" limit on co.com and perhaps it'll help future travelers if they can figure out what's up with mine.

How does someone exceed 70lbs of luggage?

Oh! I can easily pack 70lbs in my bags when I'm coming back from the UK. In fact, my bags last weekend weighed 31.4kg and 29.8kg - and that was all chocolate, tea bags, English foodstuffs, and some Virgin Vie bath products!!!! Yes - a lot of chocolate and tea bags ....!!!

Oh, don't forget the packet of Maynards Wine Gums for Olton Hall! ;)

Another ATR for sale.

I have had a real :rolleyes: day. Hardly got any sleep last night and woke up at 6 for OT today. I worked until 1:30pm when I received a call from the nursing home my grandmother is a resident of. They tell me she fell at 10am and has been confused ever since. They put her back in bed :confused::mad: and finally decide at 1:30 due to the fact that her mental status has deteriorated to call an ambulance because now she is unresponsive. They do not put the call into the 9-1-1 system, because I do not get the call, they instead call a private ambulance transport company that takes 30 minutes :confused: to respond and transports my UNRESPONSIVE grandmother to a hospital located 20 minutes away, not the hospital located on the same campus as the nursing home with no ALS. (Advanced Life Support (belynch, do you believe this crap?))

Well apparently, they thought she had a stroke at first, but she does not have any of the risk factors for your typical stroke patient. It turns out her blood sugar was 25 (normal is about 100) and that caused her unresponsiveness and altered level of consciousness. I am glad she is ok now and I am getting ready for a nice 3 hour nap before working the midnight shift now.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH Incompetent nursing home staff………

Oh, what a nightmare! You poor guy! Glad to hear that your grandmother is doing ok, but the fact that she fell is very worrisome. Hope you'll be able to catch up on sleep tomorrow.

The only time I've approached those numbers was Christmas - I "tankered" gifts that had to be in D.C. from the U.S. to Europe and then purchased more gifts while in Europe before coming back ... Behavior induced solely by free luggage allowance.

It sounds like he is not living in the house right now. I watched the show & he repeatedly asks the kids if they missed him. He's there w/the kids when Kate is traveling for her gigs.
It's sooo sad. I've also read that Kate wants to hoard all the $ for herself (& cut Jon out!).

you just take a cab, I had a great time there because it was one of the 1st times I was able to point out to my wife 'seeeeeeeeeeee.....not only WE drive crazy!'

of course , she is only scared when I drive :rolleyes:
