Hello to the Box! Longtime lurker, first-time poster.

My addiction to the awesomeness that is the Box wouldn't let me stay a silent lurker any longer.

For now, that is all.

(Well, except for apologizing for being a United whore. I expect a customary hazing to begin shortly). :D

Welcome aboard, once you've found your row, please step into it and allow others to :rolleyes:

Does he have more? I outgrew it

Also acceded to comments about battery life / proprietary batteries and went with one that takes standard rechargeables.

A berry berry good decision

I'm almost always through there connecting to/from JFK, so I've had plenty of Mesa "love."

There was something in teh Box that night. The stars were bright ALCO. They were shining there for you and me and for the PWP ALCO. Though we never thought that we would get UDU. We have no regret. If I had to do the same again I would my friend ALCO:-:

Frequent Flier, tell us what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Frequent Flier, tell us the truth
We're a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, we're the ones you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now we see you've broken a feather
We hope we can patch it up together

Frequent Flier, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving

Frequent Flier you and us cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Frequent Flier
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Frequent Flier

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Frequent Flier, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
We see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Frequent Flier, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Frequent Flier, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Frequent Flier
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Frequent Flier
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Frequent Flier

I made it home tonight rather hating myself, in large part due to FT. So much so that I didn't want to order dinner from a restaurant that I like because I figured the hate would rub off on the meal. Instead I had a large glass of vodka and then ordered dinner (and another glass of wodka with said dinner).

I'm still not completely happy with myself but at least I got a good meal and drunk out of the deal. :D

Don't forget about "Muskrat Love."

Mom never played it much. She considered it "dirty."

There was an inordinate amount of ABBA played at my wedding, a fact I have yet to reconcile.

As if I didn't already have that piece of music stuck in my head from flying UA a lot lately…

I come to FT to avoid further thinking about my self-hatred.

I'm sure "The Winner Takes it All" can be adapted into a story of losing the last battlefield upgrade and being forced to walk through the F cabin to a middle seat in row 29 by the lav…
