Good to know. That used to be the case buying UA metal flights on US flight numbers as well.

I'm just sitting here waiting until it's time to pick my son from school....it's finals week. Then I have the pleasure of getting my teeth cleaned. :rolleyes:

Haha. Well played.

Although with using "contrapositive" I'm afraid to tell you your smarts are showing. That's discouraged in teh box.

The depth of contras allowed in here are video games (up up down down left right left right...) and ...septives.

This also works when logged into :rolleyes:book

I worked a lot in a Maxwell House plant earlier this year. It is indeed not the greatest of smells on the roasting floor. The packing floor on the other hand = ^

The long-range GFS is officially on crack...


I count four solid days with Houston below freezing. I don't know that such a thing has ever been seen in recorded history.

Refried beans are good but I'd like to try fried beans, just once. Maybe they're just as good, and we're wasting time. :-:

And when you're done eating them, you can keep them fresh in the "fresh-er".

I'm going on break. :-:

Question for the teachers in The Box:

What is the real purpose of giving a Final that is worth a huge amount of points, so many points that you could drag your current grade down a whole point?

Maxwell House - a fine BNA innovation (the Cheek family).

Sorry I disappeared. I just pulled an icuhere2.

I donated $10 for malaria nets via a UN charity (Nothing But Nets), which entitled me to two free tickets at an NBA game with availability.

I chose a good game and got solid seats. Said tickets, which cost me $19 with donation and various ticketmaster surcharges are now posted on a certain ticket reselling website where similar tickets are retailing for $120/seat.

:D:D:cool::D

Analysis and synthesis at the university level - not just "knowing facts" but being able to apply them to real problems. And my final in one course could bring down a grade two letters.
