ssullivan: dirty rooms that suck, FM lines, Honda, partner's cooking ability, inept DBA, schmucky PM's, Louisiana sucks, annoying cat noise, home renovation, direct billing arrangements

:D

(I wouldn't want you to think that nobody pays attention. :p)

LOL, thanks!

Louisiana may still suck, but I no longer have to go there next week. Cats and partner will be happy.

Thanks! I'll look at that this evening after work and meeting my parents for dinner.

:rolleyes:MG. Both EZE and GIG are $499 CO.com specials from IAH for the weekend of Distrito de ClauDiO. I sense someone in revenue management is monitoring teh Box and having some fun with us.

I sense that the dark side of The Force is strong...

Haven't explored it yet - however, the $45 in postage and $5 in mailing supplies (plus a scale) is enough for me to review privacy policies, other available promotions, and such.

The fan died over the weekend, so it's HOT.

On many laptops it's relatively easy to get access to the fan. Simply remove the keyboard. You may also find that simply putting a vacuum up to the heat vent will suck out whatever is blocking the fan.

Just be careful about the static a vacuum creates ;)

I prefer to take the KB off(or rear access door on some modular laptops!) and a pair of tweezers to remove the dust/build up blocking.

For 4.5 years I have used a laptop as my main computer, and I've been through a few of them :)

So I wanted to see how full 4915 was when it went out (before the flight yesterday, it was only showing about 15 seats booked). Now it says that the seat map isn't available for that flight. And if you look on the pda site for IAH-LAX, it won't pull it up; you need the flight #. Anyone ever see that before?

Also, it says departure gate of D-1, but terminal B. When I was at the gate for 1095, they were telling everyone it was a gate in B, so it's totally messed up.

We made blueberry-chocolate chip ice cream this afternoon. Boy did it look good. It's hardening in the freezer now. I can't wait until it's ready to eat :p

Paperwork says 4-week risk-free trial, cancel any time. Haven't gone to the website / reviewed the privacy policy yet. Thinking it might be time to sell a few items on eBay ...
