Mock me now, but show up and try to play. You'll learn in a hurry. :p

I love a challenge :D

You able to dump it?

Sadly, no. I'm thinking it may already be a dumped fare since it's a mix of BD and UA. There was a loophole that would dump BD/UA itins, I just don't know if it was fixed.

Depends on which hotel and what time your flight is.

If you haven't had brekkie yet I can recommend a good diner up in Cypress. @:-)

This is the only complete day I must physically work in the office until March - I otherwise have to be in the office two hours each day Monday through Thursday.

I think UT lost for three reasons last night:
1. Greg Davis
2. Wide Receivers
3. A couple of phantom calls

I think that there is a fourth reason: They played Alabama.

No doubt.

The :td: just about US :D

I am keeping my house in TX, it will be a vacation home or something...it is paid for, why not.

Oh wow. I missed this yesterday until now (catching up).

Well, just because you're near a US hub doesn't mean you have to fly US.

I had a client that had a $25/day limit. Fortunately they were in the middle of nowhere and it was hard to spend that much on food.

My company is pretty reasonable about that stuff. In general, t about $50/day on average I can spend. If that's higher than what the client will pay, I bill the client up to their limit and my company reimburses the rest out of its project overhead costs. And they're decent about averaging that out, so if one day I spend $70 and the next $30, nobody complains.

W Ft Lauderdale.

I'm on CO800 at 105p

Thanks, but I already had breakfast at the client's office. They brought in some breakfast burrit:rolleyes:s, and it's now sitting like a brick in my stomach. For future reference, what is the name of the diner?

Yeah, I'm quite tempted. But it does lead me down the path of sitting online and playing it for hours instead of doing more productive things.

Are you required to have your masters in NJ to teach? Since we are moving there next month my wife is applying for a temporary cert (status match ;)) to teach since she already has the NY and TX cert. She does not have her Masters, yet.

Interesting conundrum - I have enough assets that I'm allowed to put half of my state retirement into a self-directed account, where I can select funds not available within the state plans. Can anyone say "forced reallocation because I picked better funds than the state"?

In many states depends upon whether the baccalaureate degree led to initial licensure. And TN wouldn't let me have a limited status match (economics and psychology) because I was certified more broadly in Maryland (all social science).

Checking out weatherunderground, looks like we didn't get too much snow up in NJ?

I was playing with some more dates and found LGA-ORD-LAX-LHR-LAX-EWR, but the s/o would have a fit with all those connections, but for $400 I would be willing to deal with it :eek:

Oh well, I am sure I will find another deal to pounce on soon enough.


Night all!
