I wish I were going to the beach this weekend. Instead Im getting the apartment ready for the Mother-In-Law (first time Ive used that :p) which will require spending a few hours at Bed Bath and :rolleyes:. I also have to go see about getting renters insurance as I finally have enough crap to care if it goes up in smoke.

Since the wife is making me do all these chores, I am doing something for myself tomorrow afternoon. Trying to score a bump on CO5834 tomorrow LGA-CLE. Think I will get it?

Do we want to do a bar, pub, wine bar, or dinner? If we have six or more people we can make reservations at Dolce Vita or if not, we can figure something out.

I will be in the Houston area during the middle of next week and would possibly be down for such events.

Boarding complete, time to enjoy the 752 BF seat. I hope there is food, I am starving :-:

I am done posting pictures, I get the feeling they are unappreciated.

"Heck" would be a blessing. She dropped a D-bomb this morning. Baglady has some 'splaining to do. :rolleyes:

I (and I think a lot of other people) appreciate the quality of the pictures and your efforts in finding them...it's just the sheer number of them that can be a problem. Lots of us are checking this board on our PDA's, at work, or on laptops in an area with crappy wifi. Because of that, a full page of heavy-download pictures can be kind of tough. I think a little aeroporn here and there in this thread is a good thing however the motto "more is more" just doesn't apply.

That being said, if you find a nice pic, please share....but I ceratinly appreciate quality over quantity.

Her only trans-Atlantic was up front. :rolleyes:

CO only opened Y availability at +3 hours even though there are still 6 seats in F. I guess those seats will just have to go to happy elites instead. :)

No PDX for me this weekend...

Fly this route on a very very routine basis and I have yet to be even offered a chance at a bump. However, I have been moved up to earlier flights when the late afternoon flight is delayed (like always!!) without having to fork over the $25 ransom fee. Enjoy NYC.

I've always treated it as a negative in the dating context. Ex of mine was left-handed, and among her many other sins against humanity (which are not fit for public consumption), I just happened to choose that one to discriminate against when pursuing women.

Left and right are such simplistic terms. I think FT leans more to social-libertarianism, then current neo-conservatism that makes the current so called right.

There is certainly a virulent strain of good old fashioned America-hating, white guilt-ridden, domestic terrorist, political correctness-loving, tree-hugging washed-up hippie lefties that are scared of firearms and worship bloated government around here too. For the most part they confine themselves to /PR and TS/S, but they are here nonetheless. I would love to assign labels to myself, but I don't neatly fit into any one political box. Unfortunately, in contrast to all those adjectives, the other side only really has Spiff to retaliate with.

Better late than never, I suppose.
