Came home to find that my DVR has gone :rolleyes:. Tried rebooting it and now it seems to be in a perpetual reboot loop. I guess I've lost all my recordings.:(

G' day, Box!:-:

Seems DVRs have terrible hard drives :td:

Must be using maxtor!

My house is paid for, it is my choice, 100% plus 30% content. But I could not build the same house today for that, I am thinking about upping it, because the 100% figure when I bought it, would be about 180% today ouch

I bought it before the pricing explosion in building materials, about 4 years ago, and had it far enough to move into 3 years ago.

Maybe Costco has a new phone for me.

Mint julep and Disneyland? I'm missing the connection.

They have them.

Edit to add: Just downloaded the Disney Parks app for my phone from Verizon. It tracks my movement in the park via GPS and tells me nearby ride wait times and suggests dining and shopping nearby and such.. It also tells me when the characters are meet/greeting and when the next show i want to see is going to happen - even reminding me to attend by alerting my phone prior.

Hence my interest in the trip today ;)

It was a great call, and I was pleasantly surprised as compared to my Starr experiences in ACY. Food in ACY was good, but not surprisingly the value proposition did not seem to be there at both Continental and Buddakan in ACY, while Jones lived up to the reputation.

I want to one day do a "Patriot Do" around July 4 with shooting, drinking, fireworks, drinking, country music, drinking, trouble-making, drinking, etc. In my mind, this could also be associated with Flag Day, Groundhog's Day, Reagan's Birthday, a day that ends with "-day", etc.

Sold. :-:

I'm undertaking my first BD-enabled run as part of this activity. BNA-ORD-DFW-DEN-IAH. Taking four F seats from UA elites is perversely funny for me even before considering the DFW-DEN-IAH component.

That is great on so many levels, but the best level is indeed the theft from UA elites.

This is me begging for such.

ACY usually does trashy very well, spoken from much personal experience. Which casino is throwing the lingerie show? I suspect a Trump property...

Foundation Room, looks to be in the house of blues?

ConciergeMike Jan 9, 2010 8:57 am

Hmmmm. Two workshops that I want to attend this year are being offered this year in SEA, LAX and SBA, and SAN or LAS respectively. No cost to attend but air. I like the thought of this...

Foundation Room is within the House of Blues, which is in Showboat. Don't know how they're doing a fashion show in such a small space.

Oo, i like HoB's food. Not sure about the panty-parade, but I love their cornbread skillet.

looks like not many tickets, it went from being available for me to select a moment ago to asking to call 'limited availability' now...

it has been less than 1 hour since getting the invite mail.
