Using miles. The extra $100 is taxes due to flying through LHR and CDG.

Have you seen the new GE aircraft commercial. Never mind that 737 engines are made by a consortium.

The only downside is that IAH-EWR is full in F before I got a seat. But #3099 to BTV is oversold, so maybe I'll get a bump! I still don't know where I'll sleep tonight, but I'm sure I can find somewhere along the way since the Garden Inn in YUL and the Hampton in BTV are booked.

So do you have a place to sleep tonight? :)

Oooooh, I like that. Just need to figure out where I can use it.

I was thinking of using it on my of my emails to my office because it will make as much sense to them as the emails I send now.

This reminds me that I had a dream about you a few nights ago - either when I was in the hospital or right around then. It was very interesting and you were buying something which would really help this post out. Hopefully the vicodin will kick in and I'll remember.

He'd been missing since the 13th from what I understand but I may have wrong information though 8 days from the 13th to when he was found could be right.

sfogate, we have located your happy birthday greeting from me. Of course, we made every effort to have your greeting arrive with your birthday, but it was apparently mis-routed. It's here now, so happy 39th!

Over a week of fearing the worst and believing the best, only to have the fears win out. His poor mother.

You are also in our thoughts baglady. We know you and know that you have the strength and the will to deal with this sad loss coming so soon after your foot procedure.

Having rolov in your dream mostly shows that in that hospital they were over-medicating you. :rolleyes:

Something like that could only be the result of substantial pharmaceutical assistance. :) :rolleyes:

I was hoping for "He Who's Name Cannot Be Posted" :p

I think titles were originally bestowed upon posters to the OMNI/PR PWP thread. Said thread faded into obscurity as its posts did not count towards the glory of the Party.

I was given the title "He Who Needs No Title". ^

ETA: Here's the original thread:

What makes me productive on a plane is not having to answer e-mail. I should really leave Outlook off most of the time.
