Random Box question of the day, inspired by my review of my photos from diving....

Is there an appropriate way to let a woman know that her nipple ring is hanging out of her bikini top?

Yeah, it was pretty entertaining. :p

This post is useless without pics.

The more important question would be why you would alert the woman to this in the first place. :p

I think that is like the booger in the nose thing - just be direct and for the love of god try to keep eye contact and not smile.

Cleared on my upgradable flight to the Mini Do on Saturday; have another fun CR2 coming up. Now if (SkyTeam partner) would just give me some of those DEQMs, I wouldn't be perpetually silver - I would almost be platinum ...

"'Scuse me, miss?"

"Yes?"

"You're signaling ships at sea."

"Huh?"

"Don't say I didn't try to help."

Nah - Flying through MEM ... I don't kid when I say "I only fly through ATL when necessary" (e.g. Sunday). The only segments I've missed so far this year were BWI-ATL (on a 752), ATL-BNA (on a MD-88), and MEM-DTW (on a 752).

The spelling bee is on TV this morning. Quite engrossing, really.

Given your penchant to connect and segment run, I think we'd all be rather :eek: if you started and maintained a FlightMemory.

Last night's season premiere of Wipeout was very good. The new ways they invented to torture people were ^.

I started one for this year (not completely up-to-date as of yet). Sadly, I'm not a BP hoarder to add past years. I do have all the SkyTeam U.S. hubs except EWR and SLC so far this year (and yes, that includes the hublet).

Im looking at a mini-trip to LAX or SAN for Labor Day weekend. Of course Im going the long way (through IAH) but do you think my fiancee's silver upgrd chances are better going to LAX or SAN?

Well my couple day debacle with TMo and my G1 has come to an end. After months of annoying SMS issues (replies going to unintended recipients), it started to lose signal and finally got the equivalent to a blue screen of death, even with hard reboots and every other known fix (including a quite unnecessary trip to a store for a new SIM card). As I was also annoyed with the lack of Exchange support, I asked them if I could have a BB instead of a G1 or at least apply the value.

"well sir,I can only send you the G1"

what is the cost of the new Curve?

"about $500 for an upgrade"

you are going to charge me full retail for the phone?


"that is all I can do for you sir. sorry"

please connect me with customer retention. i am not going to accept a phone that has not been dependable and does not fit my needs

"good afternoon Mr. MBM3, I understand that you are considering a cancellation of you account?"

story retold for the 10th time, with the addition that ATT is proposing an offer that makes the cancellation fee irrelevant

"oh I see that you have been a valued customer and part of our special unlimited minutes offer (~$50/month) - let me see what I can offer you"

thank you very much for the consideration

"is $250 for the new Curve interesting for you?"

Yes, that seems fair. Ship it as soon as possible

I really did like the G1 for a personal phone, which was the intent of the original purchase. As a business phone, it simply does not do much for me.

Either way, I am glad this mess is done.

SAN afternoon flights were having a lot of success with upgrades for everyone on the list last week. Morning flights were booked solid though. I haven't watched this week as I didn't have anyone on CO coming out to see me. :D
