BOOO to liars! (one UPS driver that is)

Your poor coins -- they're just waiting to come home to papa!:D

I am awaiting a UPS delivery this morning, as well!^ So, need the 'cash' infusion in my bank a/c!!:eek::rolleyes: Love that float!;)

Had to do that last week, myself! Not a habit I want to get into!:rolleyes:

There's the wine place that's been open a few months, and then in the old C South food court area that's been boarded up for months, there's a new place that looks really interesting called The Real Food Company. It appears to offer quite a wide selection of things, and is a very attractive looking space (as is the new wine bar place around the corner). I'm curious as to how the food is, but aesthetically, it's a HUGE improvement over the fast food crap that used to be in that space.

We ate at the wine bar a couple of weeks ago and the food was very good as was the service.

Bottom name on the license. I have no idea if that is first or last. Rastafarian. No mustache that I'm aware of. ;)

You're really just trading one crazy for another, but at least it is a different crazy to deal with.

Nice. I have to write a more extreme version of that for myself...something along the lines of "I'm a good Catholic if you overlook my skepticism and violation of multiple Commandments."

All that coveting is really unhealthy. :p

EWR-MDW (CO)

I forgot that CO pulled out of MDW. I used to fly that all the time (6 month project in CHI). I think I even went via CLE once from DCA.

I haven't tried the burger yet. I had the pulled duck sandwich this week, which was quite good. Last month we stopped in there for dinner before our FL flight to BOS and had sushi, which was good too. It definitely makes up for some of the total suckage of the food options in the other terminals.

Which terminal is this place in?

My worst ATL meal was the night I couldn't decide between Arby's and Chik-fil-a. So I had both. That was one of the wost ideas I've ever had.

I'd love to, but we are talking half the truck full of boxes at this point, not going to fit in the car :(

This isn't coins, actually more expensive goods than coins.

Haha.

My worst ATL meal was, by far, the food poisoning at Popeyes last winter. Thankfully my stomach didn't erupt until we touched down at HPN. But that was the longest flight I've ever taken on an RJ.

Aloha box.

Morning, Box. Finally got around to reading the Hardy Boys book in which I'm a character.

It was the evil old guy who owned the amusement park...

Oh. Wait.

I just dropped $1,000 on flights to YYZ. :mad::rolleyes: Great googly moogly, I'm astounded at that price. In other news, I just swapped working in Canada to the Caribbean with a coworker. My magic 8 ball says they'll be regretting that decision come February. :cool:

It was said at Do IV that that was going to be the last huge one.

Two more fires were set this morning within three blocks of where we live, one of the fires was only a block away. This brings the total number of suspected arsons in the area to 11. :rolleyes:
