I'm fairly certain we'll see ours rise again. It's risen fairly significantly every year, yet the benefits keep decreasing; nonetheless, I can't imagine having been without it the past year +

This will definitely cut the free space on your drive. I didn't check just how badly. If you don't want to risk doing everything at once I'd start with c:\windows rather than just c:\. And then c:\documents and settings.

You also might want to change your temp folder location off the C: drive to help the performance. I can help you with that tomorrow afternoon if you want.

Worked on a poster for BL JR. It is supposed to be about her and what she likes. She could choose up to 6 photos. The first photo she choose was from her first flight, because she says she likes to travel. Of course, we couldn't find one of the dozens of pairs of wings she's received over the past 6 years, but I found an airplane shaped lugggage tag, took one of her old OP gold cards (blacked out her # though), added a copy of the passport page with stamps and a US map xing out the states she's been to. She chose the photos, helped me copy them, glued down and did all the writing on the poster. It took way too much time and all I could think is how many years of school projects I have ahead of me. I am NOT looking forward to it! How do people with several kids do it?

Indeed...it is one of those necessary evils. It sucks to keep paying more but without it you'd be in much worse shape.

I've got the problem that my current carrier (via wife's company) thinks that my previous carrier is still providing coverage. So they keep dropping me off her policy. Without refunding the premiums. Yeah, I'm annoyed by that.

Coincidentally, I too was there yesterday... I wonder if we just missed each other.

Yes, it's now Bergen Towne Plaza. Maybe we should organize a shopping DO?...

Is that the new name for the place? It sure is a completely different place from what it was quite a while ago when we first started our business and had our office in Maywood on E. Passaic Ave.

It is not a bad shopping place now. I forgot to mention that not only did I get the shoes at the Nike store but that Franny got a pair of Mephistos for $65 at Nordstrom's Rack.

A shopping Do sounds good with a FT dinner to follow at that diner. :)

I'll see what happens. At this point I just want Premier Pro to have the video previews to run correctly. Why oh why does it still use the c: drive for non rendered previews instead of the swap drive is beyond me.

I'd maybe head farther south for a couple days to Dunedin or Invercargill. It'll be something that you haven't already seen.

Have you found their Parks Department hiking webpage? It has all sorts of great info on where there are marked trails, etc.

Thanks a lot...I'll check on these. We are flying out from Queenstown to Sydney for another 5 days before returning.

I love Nordstrom's Rack and wish we had one here!

Did anyone else get a PM from a FTer asking to trade CO miles for SPG pts or a DL voucher? Not anyone I know so wouldn't do it, plus I have no desire to trade miles for something I don't need.

That's seriously uncool unless you have something related in CC.

I have nothing in CC. The only things I've ever put in CC are to give away and it's been a while since I did that.

Good night folks!

Evening, Box. Nothing to report - chicken on the Foreman with spices and onions for dinner with my patented garlic fries.

Finally saw Gran Torino last night. Awesome flick, but predictable.

I would let it go if I were you. Pandy will respond when Pandy deems it necessary. Pandy was very unnecessarily condescending to me once, hence my low opinion and continued use of Pandy.
