I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut.

But I can imagine lots of scenarios where the cashier would have to prove they rang one up.

Cash registers were invented to help control theft by bartenders.

Good evening, Box.

Imade it to SAT via IAH with only a 2 hour delay today. Weather at EWR was very :rolleyes:

Didn't get a bump :td:

Am now in the wonderful (not) Embassy Suites Airport at SAT :rolleyes:

I love Trader Joe's. We don't have a Wegman's near here. That's probably b/c King's dominates up here.

We have a Wegmans in Woodbridge. It's nice, but a bit expensive.

Their corporate HQ in downtown Austin is quite impressive. I still prefer Central Market though.

WF in downtown Austin is incredible. Glad to hear that you prefer Central Markets, though. Keep shopping there. One of my biggest clients is HEB!

Can't believe I went outside The Box on two threads....what was I thinking! :D

For my next brillant move I think I go into OMNI and really stir things up or maybe I should head over to the UA box and yell at some 1K's.;)

:D

We love ya, sfogate!

I'd rather eat the Snickers bar!

Good night Box.

I'm off to work. We have one flight still stuck in EWR on a MX delay....of course this aircraft makes up one of our EWR red-eyes. It might be a long night.

PS: note to myself-- don't make any public PA's about servicemen and don't let anyone tear their pants tonight. :D

EWR was very :rolleyes: this afternoon

I can't even imagine pulling a radio flyer red wagon full of coins into my local bank.

Good - 25K in dollar coins would weigh close to 500 pounds (unhappy wagon).

I have Mitch all Together and Strategic Grill Locations. I'm also going to get the posthumous album if iTunes has it.

I've got SGL as well, just not on my iPhone. iTunes does in fact have the posthumous release (Do You Believe In Gosh?).

Ok, time explain a bit - you know how people send you forms to sign/return/etc..?

They're marked with office dates when they were printed. I'm used to them being postmarked within a day or two of when the document was printed. I've noticed several times that it is often close to a full work week before something makes it to mail. Further, any deadline appears to be arbitrary and all my fedex overnighting of stuff to meet deadlines and subsequent phonecalls to assure receipt is met with "oh, you didn't have to do that, we'd have gotten it eventually."

And if someone emails you in the morning and you respond before noon about a meeting time for the next day, don't you expect a response before the next morning - the day of the meeting you're trying to schedule? Jeeze, what if I had said "meet me at 7am sharp." It seems email takes 24+ hours to get a response, regardless of when sent - I'm used to replies coming within an hour from people's cell phones or blackberrys.

My goodness -- that is really something to get adapted to, eh?!:rolleyes:

I like cars that size. Similar to the Renault Clio, Peugeot 207, Europe Ford Focus, etc. I was actually thinking about the Honda Fit Sport before, but it may be too underpowered for my taste unless I turbocharge or supercharge it.

You have to understand that I drive a mom-car - a Honda Pilot, so everything seems kinda small to me.:D I much rather drive a smaller, more energy efficient car -- but that'll have to wait!:rolleyes:

I'm looking forward to that promo, too!:-:

Hurray for DS deciding on a 'cheaper' alternative -- yummier, too!^

Hope your work night is not too full of :rolleyes: situations!

Great episode of Entourage today.

As I've been doing well on my diet, I'm allowing myself to have a frozen Snickers for dessert.

Yet another unbelievable post today. Now in the military thread.

I can't believe half the posts in that thread. Some people really do get their knickers in a knot,don't they?

IMHO, though, there are some quite offensive posts in that thread.

I am neither for nor against war. But, I do believe that those men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom should be honored and respected. If that means giving them a free drink, so be it. Big deal. Why is everyone getting so tied up in knots about it.

There certainly is! That Movieman guy is a piece of work! So is MagicianSampras.

Ah, well, each to his own, I suppose.

Prefer the box denizens. They're much nicer people :D
