That's been mentioned by a handful of BoXers now!

OK! -- got ya -- clearly you have a much more 'refined' palate/tolerance than I!;)
You went from "probably an all-nighter" to "I'm going to bed", so I assumed as much :p

You got that right -- however, I powered through stuff this morning & had exactly what I needed for the client when I met w/her later!^

Not w/out consequences though -- I ended up having my accupuncture doc work on my neck, shoulders & lower back -- complete w/electrodes! I'm pleased to say that I got the 'power nap' I needed plus feel like have a new person's body (w/the same inside! LOL!)^

Already knew this morning that body was feeling crappy & made appt w/massage therapist for Mon. morning!cool:

At least I'm working so I can pay for the necessary self-care!:rolleyes:

Good for you!^

I float on the credit card for a bit - I don't order enough in coins that requires me to go to the bank immediately in order to pay the credit card bill.

Ditto, here!

How about Michael's -- you can use the 40% off coupon that comes in the Sunday circulars & try that out!@:-)

I posted that yesterday - most amusing part of my day, no less.

Anyway, I have water and sewer service again. What's that you say? I was only missing sewer service? Yes, I was (at one time) only missing sewer service.

Long story short - called the utility corporation to have all lines on my property marked. What utility company labeled as "sanitary sewer" was actually "water main". Contractor discovered this error with a backhoe. In addition to my yard being dug up, add a few thousand gallons of water :rolleyes:

I am now only $11,000 from hitting all credit card spending tiers for the year.

It's fragile and is about 30"x30". I'm leaving it to the professionals.

how's about some backup planning, grrrrrrrr

Well, if they do most of their business in the afternoon/evening or at night when folks are using it from home rather than from the office then doing the upgrade during the day isn't so stupid. We have systems at some of our clients that are slotted for day-time maintenance because they are primarily for remote access when the users are at home off-hours.

I am suitably impressed...

I live at the top of the bluff, so the sewer line is fortunately unpressurized (gravity-driven).

Whoops. Glad everything is now fixed. Do you have to pay for all the repairs or is your home warranty covering it?

I awoke to no electric service this morning. I hate not having coffee before I have to wake the family up and drive my son to school. Thank god for battery operated alarm clocks.

$3,000 in coins ordered (two orders - Van Buren and NA).

Happy Anniversary to Me

23 years ago I began my career at Continental Airlines in Honolulu. I have also worked in DCA and currently I'm at SFO. It's been quite a ride and one that I have totally enjoyed.

A big ^. Congratulations!

True, but I think the map just looks funny because AEP is likely overlying EZE (he has some domestic Argentina flights in there, which would have departed AEP).

I'm fairly certain the map is legit. It is hauteboy's FlightMemory. He has posted photos on FT from his trips to N. Korea and Svalbard. The map is impressive to me, because it only displays 500K flown miles. :-:
