Bad day for CO with CLE and EWR mess.

mnmag Jan 10, 2010 8:50 am

icurhere2, I got a 'bargain' yesterday that you'd be proud of:

Went to Bed, Bath & Beyond on thurs., & saw a Cuisinart vertical rotisserie on display. Didn't buy it, as I wanted to see if I could get it cheaper somewhere else (didn't see it cheaper than I could get it w/the 20% off BBB cpn!). So, I went back yesterday to get it -- it wasn't there -- the display had been removed!:eek:

Well, I asked a manager about it & he said that they are no longer selling it, but they had the display model in the back & were willing to discount it! Well, I got him to take off 25% (he was talking 20%) -- and I could still use the 20% cpn -- so I agreed! So I ended up with a display model at $120+tax (down from the original $200+tax)!!^

As if CO didn't need more problems after the whole TSA security mess!:eek:

On a different note -- can't seem to get my body moving this morning -- may have something to do with having red wine, followed by beer -- as my nightcap last night - don't know what I was thinking!:rolleyes: So, did not make it to church -- son fell back asleep & expected me to 're-wake' him!:rolleyes::confused:

Well, he went back to sleep -- yet again! I figure that he will need the sleep -- we have a long day. His band competes in the 'Break' -- (hoping to make it to 'Bamboozle') -- tonight at 9pm!:eek:

SJU
 
Have any of you vacationed in SJU? We are thinking about a possible long-weekend there in February... have any of you been to the Hilton resort there?

Morning, Box. Time to go make the coffee.

I'm partaking of the SBC Henry's blend at HP BNA / Frankin / Cool Springs - slept for 8 hours.

Fries that challenge the masculinity of the consumer by essentially saying "You don't have the cojones to clog your arteries this much in one sitting."

Lucky for you... there is no RJ service between EWR and CLE. In fact, today, there is NO service... ;)

There's no service between BNA and CLE any day (well, I'm not counting WN).

I've passed thru twice from embarking/debarking cruises. Heard lots of good stuff about Caribe Hilton, but never stayed. Must-sees include Old San Juan, the fortress, and the Bacardi plant.

I do like ^. Remarkably, I'm not keen on negotiation so I wait until I can more easily manufacture discounts.
