You Asked: Would you like to be friends with the members of the Penalty Box?
Alex: Most flights allow non-styrofoam boxes and coolers to be checked as baggage. However, boxes are not accepted as checked baggage on Continental Express destinations to the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico. All fees and rules apply to boxes and coolers as they would to other checked and carry-on baggage. View Page

She already learned that being friends with members of the Teh Box involves coolers.^

You Asked: Do you like beer?
Alex: My favorite drink is the free kind, especially in a comfy BusinessFirst seat.
She sounds like she would fit in well here!

I'm sure certain of the B:rolleyes:x population have been too busy to post being occupied with the Facebook photos of Baglady's cousin.

Well, there's always the photos of Baglady's cousin.

The area code I lived in during high school split shortly after I graduated college and almost no one got to keep their old numbers with the new area code. So, I lost contact with all kinds of friends and acquaintances.

(Remember, I'm old, there was no email back then.)

I also worked in an industry where turnover approached 100% and lI ost a lot of contacts when I moved to the opposite coast.

Facebook has let me find a number of old folks I've been thrillled to reestablish contact with.

However, if I get poked or sent any more poker chips I may just pull the plug.

Well, she did go to school in Atlanta.

Same here. I'll wait to see baglady's cousin in person one of these days. My drool effect is better that way.

Hey, I sent you farkle chips, not poker chips!

I've seen a couple of old friends that I reconnected with on facebook. Both were great times. I'm not trying to relive my ahem, younger years, but there are people I've lost touch with I wish I hadn't. FB is not as smart as ALEX since it suggested I "friend" my ex fiance. Suffice it to say, NO!

I don't think she likes us... :(

:rolleyes: Feh on Alex. I could have save CO a ton of :rolleyes: and $ if they talked to me first. Our company tried something similar and the plug was pulled a long time ago on that one. I suspect Alex is gone (quietly) within a year. :-:
