Knowing that a few grand of coins don't weigh that much, I might be in the wrong career path.

Finally got power just before midnight and finished errands. Now at airport, and the flight status just got updated:

Preach on, brother.

Haha. I understand the concept and the benefit and the reason to buy the product just fine, but should I come across someone who asks intelligent tech questions...:eek:. Thankfully the retail travel industry is not a terribly Web-savvy community.

I don't recall threatening to vomit over that swill you passed off at Shogun, though there are a few things I don't recall from that night so who knows.

sbm12 takes drink, gives CO 1E a nervous glance, ingests drink. Drink stays down, but a slightly excited and higher-pitched version of sbm12 proclaims for the kiddie table to hear: "That's vile, dude." If nothing else, both your reactions were good for hahas.

Hmm. Never thought of it that way. Very nice way of putting it.

I was at one point an English tutor. I've been told I have a way with words.

And he would be right.

Morning, Box.

Possibly the only thing better than Montreal-rubbed meat is putting the leftovers of said meat over eggs the next morning after the remainder of the rub has had about 12 hours to ferment in the fridge. Steak and eggs is the true breakfast of champions.

Still sittin the passport office waiting for my 8:00 appointment to add pages to my passport. It took 25 minutes just to wait in line to get a number, and there are still10 peopw ahead of me.

I thought I posted recently about the true breakfast of champions - bananas, biscoffs, and bourbon. Speaking of which, both upgrades cleared today.

My FA just said we're flying to "Detroit Minneapolis Airport". Seems that I may truly need breakfast of champions.

The line is moving more quickly now.

Looks like the eite access security line is now the overflow when the red-coated-people-wrangler feels like the kettle line is moving too slow.....at least that was the case at EWR C-1 this morning. didn't even have enough time to hit the P-Club because of it.

Of course I did run into a fellow FlyerTalker and his Plus-1 on a run down to the carribean the final weekend of DEQM! ^

Oh....almost forgot....Good morning b:rolleyes:x.

This blows my mind every time I see it. It never occurs to these people that if the elite line disappears, the slow moving regular line will actually move faster! Add to that they are screwing over the regular folks who got there a little earlier by effectively inserting later arriving regulars ahead of them.

It looks like another missed companion upgrade is upon us...

She's #1 on the standby list... :rolleyes:

There did not seem to be a problem with adding pages to my passport despite the US entry stamp on one of the Amendment/Endorsemet pages, but I won't know for sure until I pick it up on Tuesday.

Work laptop WiFi saga, Part Deux: Vista is still telling me that the wireless signal is out of range...despite that the laptop is sitting on the same desk as the router.

I've tried some hoegaarden, and a few others. I tried one of those Japanese beers, yuck it had to be among the worst, it was seriously bitter!
I think I just don't like them, but I will try some others throughout my adventures, I am not counting them all out. At the same time I am not going out of my way to buy them either. I typically prefer the harder bevs anyway, or the simple, fruit juices.

Try a lambic. That has a pretty good chance of meeting your desires for higher alcohol content and a bit of fruit flavor.

Making an informed decision based on known likes/dislikes is way more useful than randomly picking bottles off the shelf and hoping for the best.

Work laptop problem solved. ^ Confused security key and and WEP key. :o

The touchpad/mousepad on my notebook computer decided to :rolleyes: today. :mad:

Mine has been :rolleyes: for a looooong time. Plus, the little button-thingies underneath it that I click on have gone wobbly-bonkers too. I think I need a new laptop. I uses this one all the time as my main computer and lug it around all over with me. It's over 3 years old and has been a workhorse, but I think it is basically just old and clapped out now.

Bit like me, really .....:D

I wanted to make post #8,500 in The Box, but I found it slightly more important to drop from the LH Do. I might have gotten a job, but I'd rather pay my bills than create more.

That'll do it.

Morning, box.
