It seems especially strong today.

Are you getting the :rolleyes: and DB signals confused?

I thought one caused the other.

I hear ya. My PS3 Slim arrived about a month ago. Watch nothing but Blu-rays since. Though I did throw in one DVD and it was noticeably better than through a regular DVD player.

Yes - the DB is usually the precursor.

I'm opening a joint account with someone I trust who won't rob me and flea the country with my piles of dollar coins. :-:

We have our first candidate in now and the head principal is interviewing him. He is straight up talian' and would guess he grew up on Staten Island. God I hope they pass on him.

It's very rare for me that there's a hotel close enough to walk, and if there is, that it's a hotel I'd actually want to stay in. And then there's the whole issue of being able to do anything else while I'm there.

It was a nice walk from the hotel to the light rail, and then about a 10 minute ride to the client a few miles away.

I've had fewer than a handful of clients in 10 years that required a car to get to. :D

I have a suitcase used for transporting wine - wedged in the wooden shipping boxes with the removable rings and everything. I think it's cooler that some of the purpose-made ones available through stores.

LOL, flee, not flea! But, if they do "flee" the country, then they will be a flea - bag!

:D

Must be nice to mostly go to city centers in major downtown areas. :p

Unfortunately universities often are located where the real estate is cheaper, and there's quite often not much in the way of hotels within a reasonable walking distance.

I cannot believe some online video content is blocked from AUA IP addresses. Is country music forbidden here? Apparently not - papiamento "Walking in Memphis".

Two of my three university employers have had perfectly acceptable accommodations within walking distance.

I got a shipment of Dollar coins today $5k :D This is the first one in a few months as my orders had been getting the axe. The only problem is I used a different card other than my SPG AMEX to see if that was the problem and I forgot which card. :eek: I guess they are declining my SPG AMEX though since this one went through.
