FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Too bad. The dinner looks like it's going to be fun. I need to start making friends with UA people. This * thing sounds like we're going to be bosum buddies especially in SFO.

I had fun last year. This year it's one of my few weekends not traveling and I need a break.

Jimmy Carter carried empty suitcases when in the public eye.
Out of the public eye he made the SS carry his bags.

Of course it helps to marry a man younger than yourself. ^ And have children later in life. And act like an idiot sometimes. :D

Well, I married a man who is 11 days older than me! But, I was 33 when I had my first child, and 42 when I had my second.

So, they definitely keep me young!

And, I don't care how old I look, mentally, I feel young, and so that's all there is to it!

I heard he hated having them around and that's part of the reason he doesn't use them.

Jimmy was plain nasty and no one liked him. His agents did like his wife.

Well, it's very funny you should say that ...!

My friend is throwing Mr.Brit and I a "surpise" party (we both turn 50 within 11 days of each other). Now, bear in mind that she told me she was throwing the party, so it's not exactly a surprise, is it!!!

But, I found out last night that she had actually asked another person she knows if she could use their house for the party instead of her own.

Now that's chutzpah!

Wow! I always had this impression that Jimmy Carter was a really nice man.

Lyndon Johnson was a pig. He was always naked around anyone. Had lots of affairs. Nasty, uncouth and often drunk.

I'm guessing (for the same reasons) the second might be the Navy sub watchers, who would be out over 12 hours. No, they could move around. Don't know.

Now back to the conclusion of "French Kiss" (which was in the DVD player due to the concierge dialog extraction earlier today).
