Well - I guess it's all up to the doc -- I've had to go through this -- twice -- so it's apparently the 'protocol' that my doc has in place.

On a different note -- did you know that Costco sells Hyatt gift certs at 20% off? (was reminded of this on another FT thread). I just picked up 2 - $50 each -- for $80.^ I used my SPG AmEx for the purchase!;) I don't have any Hyatt stays scheduled yet -- but will look into this!;)

Then you get to hang out w/my step-mom & her friend!:-: However I must admit that dining in Versailles w/icurhere2 does have its appeal!;)

^^ I really must sign up for the spgAmex card. Is it just the regular card? Will I get the automatic gold status if I spend $30k on the card? Given that I will be spending a good deal of $$$ on fixtures for the house, I figure I could do it on the spgAMex.

Good to hear that you are "all clear" in the plumbing department and there are no clogs!!!

I think I may have a 'referral' thing for the SPG AmEx -- I'll look!

Yes, it's a 'relief' for sure! I had to have two -- one year apart -- but it appears to be 'clear' for now!\
I take it that this is your first 'experience'!

That potion you have to drink is absolutely disgusting. Deeeee-ssssssgusssst-ing.

Opie and Anthony once had a guy drink one of those bottles and then put him in an adult diaper and told him to hold it in for as long as he could. They then took him to another studio and laid down an oversized plastic bingo grid. He walked around and people bet on the square he would unload into. Awesome radio bit. :-:

That was the last year of the six team league and the whole dynamic of NHL hockey changed after the expansion.

Hmm, I think the BBC would be interested in a certain thread in FT tonight.

So what you're saying is that Toronto can't handle a league larger than six teams? :D

I hate the Leafs, I hate the Leafs, I hate the Leafs.

No. The expansion diluted the top six and Leafs could not continue the pattern because their core was getting old and a lot of their depth had ended up in places like St. Louis and Minnesota.
