Greetings from Westin Resort Aruba. I need to go to dinner in a bit ...

I only got moderately lost walking around ZRH. Using the current FT ads as a segue - I haven't downloaded ABP on the new laptop (not netbook but work laptop) yet - and the current ads on FT tell me to "Book Emirates Flights" and "Travel to Iran". I see one but not the other in my future. On to EK ...

The EK crew - uniformly striking to the point of being illegal for a U.S. company to hire - was getting off the ZRH train when I was heading back out to the gate. And one nice thing about One Flew South ATL is that the KE flights operate out of Concourse E ...

My flights to and from MSP in October have lousy seat assignments on flights that we did not request. I'm on an NW DC-9 with 30" in the back that I would not fit into even if I was thin as a pretzel stick. I'm simply too tall for 30". :rolleyes: On the way home, I'm booked in a middle seat. Puke on both counts.

Preach on.

Welcome back!!!!

(Yay to vicodin posting)

I was doing okay; the last couple of hours have been a bit rough. I think being so tired is my body's way of saying "sleep, sleep, sleep" so I will listen. I'm looking forward to actually enjoying the vicodin ;) vs. really needing it.

An' Summer`s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot th' eye o' hea'en shines,
An' oft` be his dubloon complexion dimm`d;
An' ever' fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature`s changin' course untrimm`d:
But thy eternal Summer shall nay fade
Nor lose possession o' that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Davy Jones' locker brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines t' time thou growest:

So long as I can breathe, or one good eye can be seein',
So long lives this, an' this gives life t' thee.

:rolleyes::o:D

When your body says sleep, you should listen - I had an outpatient procedure done on my neck (driven to/fro by mom) in 2004 and we got home a little before lunch. I gave her a gift card and asked her to pick up lunch. Although I had a pretty ambitious agenda in theory and was cleared after 2 p.m. or so by the doctors, I slept until after dinner.

Glad you're feeling well enough to post.

Talk like a Pirate Day ends on a sad note for me. Had to run out and shop for dark dress clothes tonight; friend and ex-boss of mine from the old USAF office died of cancer earlier this week, and no one reached out to tell me until tonight. He was all of 52. :(

Sorry to hear but like that you got enough notice to pay respects.

Indeed, thanks. Big ^ to the one guy I still talk to who is a friend/golf cohort that I served with.

I'm very sorry to hear that, Mike. I'm glad you were told in time for the service.

I fell asleep while posting, so time to say good night, box!

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm gonna shut it down for the night. Night, Box.

Good night baglady. Sleep well and get your strength back. I saw you walk up all the steps at Mont St Michel so I figure that you can do a whole lot more than that when your foot heals. We are still thinking the good thoughts for you.

Howdy All

The discussion above on the quote within a quote deal got me curious and I've been tooling around on the interweb for BB Code Usage.

It seems that flyertalk.com uses a lot of the standard codes, but not all of them and not all in the same way (strikethrough for example) as what I've found out in the world.

Is there a listing like below that shows all of the exact BB Codes available for use on FT? Could you point me that way?

BBCodes on SitePoint

Thanks!
