That's why I got rid of MySpace and focused all of my energy on filling out a good robust LinkedIn page. I didn't have anything incriminating on my MySpace, but I also knew that just my name coming up might be enough to not get a call back.

Gilbert Godfrey was on The Roast of Joan Rivers joking about Robin Quivers molestation. Creepy. :td:

My husband's brother found a Youtube video of his (my husband's) kid rapping at a sleep-over with her friend. Was posted by a friend of hers with her full name. Video got yanked pretty fast and we hope she learned an important lesson. It is so :rolleyes: these days. What happened to the time where we had to walk 10 miles uphill in the snow each way and that was the worst of it?

I like my vodka 'tasteless' and 'breathless' thanks :D

AA had a phenomenal multi-partner promotion for the 20th anniversary of AAdvantage - let's just say I had multiple consecutive months where I earned over 40,000 miles (back then, an F trip to AK) without even trying. Most of my miles toward MM were probably from that one promotion (think it was 2001/2002).

Bacon-flavored ice cream? I thought I was doing something exciting last night by having a soy milkshake.

You and my fiancee need to have a meeting. She never met a deal that she didn't like. What kinds of gift cards are on eBay for such a great discount? I always look for CO vouchers and they are never a good deal.

Wow. FT has rendered me speechless. Not an easy feat.

And yet you're doing FB? :confused:

Yes -- I do recall that. I can't see why a NRT stop is not allowed. It's certainly along a pretty direct routing. Did you get a second opinion? I'd be asking for a supervisor.

He's simply gross quite a bit of the time.

When the documentary cameras were gone last week I had to mention to the high schoolers I was with that that camera records everthing and the sound system recordes every mic even when the camera guy is switching tap. Thank god I know they'll have enough footage in the long run that it will never even be considered to be used and what was said wouldn't make good TV anyway.

Roasts are always fun. Gilbert Gottfried is very funny if you can get past the voice.

Thanks. Couldn't think enough to say that when I saw 'bacon' and 'vodka' in the same sentence.

I did ask for a second opinion when the agent was stumped. A higher power will look in to it tomorrow and I will let y'all know.

Woo-hoo!^ I tip my hat to you!:D I used to be a lot more meticulous w/coupons, but I just don't shop quite as much these days. But I am big on on-line discounts, entertainment pub. discounts/cpns.

I went to TGI Friday's w/my son & his friend -- I had inquired about using two diff. cpns -- but was told that only one was allowed. The manager had come around to ask how our meal was & I told her that the ribs were charred & the potato skins were overcooked -- ended getting the benefit of both cpns!!:D
