Am still waiting for UPS to deliver the order that was supposed to be here by 10:30am yesterday! :confused: Called CS @ the Mint & the woman seemed to be a bit clueless as to when they need to contact UPS to track the errant order!:rolleyes:

I'm apparently the only Plat on one of my flights next Monday. :rolleyes:

Lookin' forward to my first LiveTV experience. :-:

Good for you -- enjoy!!^

thanks.

I've checked everything, and it all matches. So, in desperation, I am going to do thing that only people who have no idea what they're doing, do - I'm going to pull the plug!

I'm going to turn everything off - my computer, the dsl thingy, the white box with the apple on it, I might even turn off my brain while I'm at it.


I'm going out now ...... and I may be some time ..... (I think that was the quote or something similar .. wish me luck!)

I've said that dl should hire me in loss prevention just to prevent loss.

I am here on and off and now that internet is up and running at the house I will be here late night!

Anyone else I am forgetting?

In the spirit of the Box's affection for fine beer, I propose dinner at Brasserie Beck. If anyone would prefer something other than Belgian food, however, let me know, and we can consider other options, as there will be plenty of Belgian and other fine beer at the bars we will be visiting.

CM, what time is your train back to PHL?

Where are folks staying at? And what neighborhood are we likely to be drinking in on Saturday night?
If you want me to log in to your computer remotely and fix it let me know. I'm sitting on the help desk this afternoon anyways so it would actually look like I'm doing my job. Just PM me and I'll get you the details you need.

It sounds like you may not have a LEGAL leg to stand on, but come on - this is family - she ought to have some decency!

You bet! Brituchenite, your diamond sounds awesome as well. (My mother raised all of us kids on the four C's and things like that. :))

Over and out, y'all...driving to Silver Spring/Gaithersburg/Fairfax this afternoon. Hopefully I will time the various stops just so, and hopefully the rental car (Pontiac G5) will be pleasant enough. (Lots of gear-shifting-mechanism :rolleyes: with my poor car recently...I'll get into it later)

Facebook seems to be dead today. I heard twitter was dead because of a denial of service attack.

Go with the Westin Philadelphia, if possible. It's really a great property.

Nice surprise from NW regarding my status match. However, I do not think I will be doing 6k+ miles per month on them to retain Plat status.

Dear Mr gbryan84,

Thank you for re-contacting WorldPerks regarding your account,
xxxxxxxxxx.

In view of the timing of your complimentary WorldPerks Platinum Elite
upgrade, please be advised that at year's end your account will be
reviewed for elite status for the 2010 program year.

To retain WorldPerks Platinum Elite status for March 1, 2010 through
February 28, 2011 the upgrade extension will be based on a pro-rated
monthly threshold average of 6,250 elite qualifying miles for the
remainder of 2009.

We believe that our pro-rated elite qualifying miles proposal will
enable you to retain Platinum Elite status for the ensuing elite program
year.

We hope that you enjoy the benefits of your Platinum Elite membership
and we're looking forward to a mutually beneficial relationship for
years to come.

Sincerely,

Emily Hayes, Manager
WorldPerks Customer Service

You guys have any suggestions on restaurants in Dallas? My birthday is in two weeks and I've got a reservation at the Renaissance Dallas already, but I don't know where to go for dinner. I was thinking etouffee at Pappadeauxs but that is a chain and while it's usually good that doesn't mean it always is. Other option is Landry's (of bag fame) but that too is a chain. I like meat, so suggestions that are meat related would be welcomed and appreciated.

I so wish I could join you all, but I have plans for that weekend. Somehow I thought it was going to be the next weekend. Oh well... next time.

:) John
