The third world certainly has a critical vowel-allocation crisis. In central Asia, we find place names with terrible shortage of vowels, and here, in south Asia, so many that they are at risk of spoiling.

I'm personally just waiting for Onepass to absorb Mileage Plus as it will be a done deal by then.

EWR-SIN-AKL-HKG-EWR = roughly Ocho Cinco Mil at 150% EMQs x2

Do it 7 times and you have 600K :D

We're staying at the Fairfax, so at least I'll be killed in a somewhat luxurious setting. She has no idea that many of these chicas are exes. I'm hoping with the introduction of alcohol into the evening people don't start talking.

I'm suddenly not looking forward to this weekend as much as I was about 5 minutes ago.

It will happen in due time. Amazing things happen in bankruptcy court and the fighting between UA's unions and management will just insure it sinks.

I briefly considered the possibility of a :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: but there's a tremendous risk and very low likelihood of a reward. :o

I've seen that happen before. Doesn't go well. They will all gather together and then compare notes about you.

I think you may have a reaction to the H1NI shot and will not be able to attend.

Plus1 leaves on Friday, so I told (sick at home) BL JR that if there were good CO specials, she and I would take a trip this weekend. She asked if we could go to Paris. I told her that probably wasn't a co.com special. She then asked if we could go to India; I said the same. She then asked about Africa - anywhere in Africa; I repeated it. She said, "alright then, I suppose we could just go to London again" as if we were going to Baton Rouge or somewhere similar. I explained it was the weekend only, she said we could stay any of those places for just 2 days. Think twice before you start making runs with your kids!

I see a new show based on the successful Kids and Pagents concept. It would be "Elite with Kids, Never worry about your baggage again!" (bad pun intended) I dont envy you with her. Next she will be wanting two allliance status and hotel status as well.

I'm sure there is a price, the question is what that price is.

That would be the coolest. Perhaps this is something we can strive for in the next StarMegaDo. Or just a simply RTW trip on an A380, stopping at all the airports that can take the plane!! :)

I didn't realize she'd ask to GO all those places! We did have an issue last week because she got confused when people were speaking about No CA and So Cal. She said, I thought it was one state, but is it two (i.e. ND and SD; NC and SC). I explained regions, which again will do nothing in helping her in her schoolwork:rolleyes:

Do it 7 times and you have 600K :D

You are not helping.

Tell you what, you bank roll it and i'll do it.

fozz Nov 9, 2009 1:01 pm

belynch might I recommend you be a gracious host and buy everyone drinks while staying sober yourself.

That way you can write it off to the alcohol if something does come up.

Each topping the other in recollection of hideous insensitivity and crimes against humanity, until only the defendant's dock at the Hague is the place for you.
