Morning, Box. Today is apparently the 6 year anniversary of the great East Coast blackout. Where were you that afternoon?

Oooh -- I love the Waffle House, though the BBQ place near there (Rudy's I think) would be my top pick for off-airport food near IAH.

Yeah, that's the smoothest sounding one yet.

I see CO658 landed early at DCA, thereby delivering ALCO and Scott6067 to Teh Distrito De Claudio in time to have a few more drinks.

You buy $1 coins for $1 each on a miles earning CC.

You then fret over the shipping and tracking. The order might be canceled or delayed interminably for no particular reason. It might show up in 3 days or in 3 weeks and you won't really know until it happens.

Once they do arrive you then have to take them to the bank and deposit them to pay off the CC bill. Sometimes this is a trivial task. Sometimes the bank refuses the deposit. Sometimes they harass you. Sometimes they require you to open up all the boxes, sometimes the individual rolls, sometimes nothing.

Lather, rinse, :rolleyes:

Seriously not worth the effort, IMO. I did a few grand early on and just don't want to bother with it any more. I'll probably use it to hit my AA card churning thresholds - and actually use many of the coins for real spending - but otherwise it is too much work for the points.

D@mn W:rolleyes::rolleyes:df:rolleyes:rest bank... 2 days after depositing $1000 in coins, they debited my account for $1 for "Deposit short $1." Umm, they NEVER told me that they were going through a counter or anything else. They gave me a receipt and I left. I know it's only $1, but it's the point of it. I have disputed it with customer service & will see how far it goes.

Could you put this all in a larger type size for baglady's benefit? She keeps telling me that she's stopped but I keep finding the shipping boxes in the trash can. :rolleyes:

Around here, the trash truck does the pre-sort and then the landfill does the final sort, none of that sort it yourself junk. :D

I may live in the sticks, but I have an automated trash truck that does it all, the driver drives up pushes a button and mr robot does the rest!
