I'm guessing you need a AUS-HOU line? :)

I still need to figure out if that trip is doable...

You should come, along with Hartmann, ConciergeMike, sbm12...

I think the pro account is well worth the cost if you like to share a lot of pictures.

Yes, they are very pricey. The quality is very good, but you do pay the price for it.

Sainsbury's and Tescos, especially the larger stores, have very good selections at fair prices.

These days I shop at Fiesta. :D

I'm on the interested list and I do have a reservation at the Sheraton, I just need to start looking at airfare and see if there are any decent options from the area.

I showed interest, but not sure I am come.

I've been told if I can make it, great, if not no worries, not going to take any of the critical spots for tours and the like.

work may be in the way now. But it is something I am very excited about with work, and no complainin from me.

...and ASDA is WalMart.

They stipulate every last thing - packaging, ink content, type of flour that is used, number of items in a package, etc. etc. just like Wal-Mart.

An old flame of mine - his father owned a large bakery that produced all the pies, cakes, sweet pastries, etc. for M&S. They were a very difficult company to work with because they had so many restrictions and they screwed the vendor down to the very last cent.

Well they do have ASDA which is Walmart. A double whammy of :rolleyes: of companies then over there.

You do know that when you post photos directly to facebook you allow them to use the photos as they please? I link through Flickr which gets around that rule.

"Semi-retired" - I love it. :)

No job yet, but I do have an interview lined up for next week.

Good luck. I unofficially have one next week according to the grape vine but they have to wait for the offical post closing on Friday to actually say so.

+1. I've been Pro since before Yahoo bought them. I was guested the first year free and I liked it a lot so I've been on a Pro account for nearly 5 years now.

I rarely upload the original sized photos. It just takes too long.

Same produce, half the price.

Plus I can get weird ingredients there that I'd have to special order at Central Market (oxtail).

We still shop at Central Market/HEB sometimes because they carry things like bulgur wheat.
