At T-5ish days call in and pay the expedite fee. You'll get it a couple days later.

I paid the expedite fee. About $130 a/i

Today really does feel like Christmas. Great MR deals all over the place, and the boss picked up everyone's food tabs at happy hour today. And work was an offsite today, where we played mini-golf and lawn bowling.

Yeah - today was fun.

Mostly Russian immigrants working in a relatively sketchy environment. But now I've seen it and I never have to return. Notch up another "done that" for me. :eek:

I think I need a shower now. This place is disgusting.

Most of Penn Station is disgusting. Club Acela is a small oasis in a bastion of :rolleyes: :( and :td:

Then I wouldn't worry too much about it. It'll show.

Can I cancel a reservation on .bomb if I did not log in to my MP account when purchasing?

Never made it into Club Acela, but overall I try to limit my time spent in NY Penn Station. Fortunately there seems to be an LIRR train to Jamaica every 5 minutes.

NJ Transit, not so much :mad:

It's not all sports injuries. Some orthos have dedicated sports medicine practices; others have old people injuries (i.e. back and hip) and others general; then you have your specialists.

Have a great trip!

Operations that last for four or five hours requiring the use of hacksaws and other such implements may just not be among the things that women like to do.

Good point!

Quite a call out.

Yes it was! Our box members are becoming more (in) famous by the days!

I cannot keep up. I'll keep checking in, since it is a nice support group in here.

However, if the rumors of Verizon getting the iPhone are true, I'll be on here so much, you'll get tired of me. :D

Stop by when you can (and hey, we have lives!). Don't worry about keeping up. Just do what you can.

Well, we'll see. Two of my tickets aren't yet ticketed and the .bomb support desk is working on it.

The 1K desk ticketed one of the two, quoted me the $155 price and charged my CC $2299.

:mad::rolleyes:

I think I am going to wait until BMW offers some amazing financing deal like 0% or 1.9%. I am not sure if that will ever happen, but if it does I will be all over it. I have two running vehicles, I can wait ;)

My 1998 was paid off in 2000. May well hit 200K before 2011. And I can go a while without a running vehicle - there's a Hertz Local Edition location within walking distance of my home and I get free intra-city transit as a benefit (as long as I can wait for the bus).

Don't you mean B10 or B25?

B10 on a good day reminds me of Penn Station - overcrowded, lacking in facilities and not a pleasant place.

But at least there's free booze!

As much as I would love a 6, that is slightly out of reach for me.
