Hey Box!

OK, I know I should know all the details of this... but I haven't acutally changed a flight in probably over a year or so.

I am booked on a 2:33 pm flight tomorrow, but now we have a client meeting until 2 (and it is not at the airport :( ). The next flight home is at 7:18.

As there is plenty of availability on the 7:18 flight as of now, I'm going to risk doing a same-day change. So, can I make that change after 2:33 today (24-hour mark of the original), at 7:18 pm tonight (24-hour mark of new?) or at 7:18 am tomorrow - the 12 hour mark for the new flight?

Thanks for the clarification. J

You'll need to make the change at 7:18am tomorrow morning.

Old is however old your grandparents are, I've always found. When I was young, 40=middle-aged and 50=old. :eek:

I've stopped getting carded all the time - at this point, if someone asks to see my ID, my default response is "how kind of you to ask." :p

I have about 30 pages of Box on which to catch up, which may or may not happen. BTR is surprisingly non-festering, the food and friends are good, and the flights have so far been quite problem-free (my 2-hour Attack of the Gate Lice in IAH was another story, but we'll save that). Flying back to BWI tomorrow...

Oh, and congrats sbm12 on all the press! ^

It isn't clear, to me, if the form is requesting the name of the countries visited, or the number of the countries visited. Or, for that matter, if a simple "yes" or "no" response is sufficient. On this issue, the form is really vague, in my view.

I put "1" on the line once, and got a dissertation from some not-so-nice US governmental employee about how he has never heard of "Country No. 1." :rolleyes:

It's the name of the country. I've heard annoucements on the plane to make sure you use UK or United Kingdom and not England or Great Britian.

I took Immigration & Naturalization in the Spring. My professor was an Immigration Judge. He confirmed for us that USCIS agents do not have a sense of humor (at least one that could be categorized as "human").

Eureka accomplished. About ten minutes ago. Now I just need to come down off the pain pills and I'll be totally back to normal. Now that the plumbing is fixed, I can go about my day.

My cable box just decided to update itself. It has been "doing stuff" for about 15 minuets now.

I'm missing out on quality Brett Favre and Plaxico Burress reporting. :rolleyes:

That was one of the greatest pieces of off-the-cuff phone humor I have ever witnessed.

Phew! Hope it wasn't too bad. Hope you continue to feel better.

wow going back reading yesterday's milestone I saw this.

65g of fat?! What did they do inject bacon fat into the thing?
