If that's wrong, then I don't want to be right!! :-:

I am guessing it's related to the MegaDO-CondeNast party...

Also looks like he may have bought a thesaurus. :p

I'm tired of people who abandon the concept of being responsible for their own actions. For as much as I hate the use of the word "offended" when dealing with touchy-feely PC garbage, I get offended by these people who think that the world owes them the ability to find redress for their dumb choices. They are ludicrous and repugnant and many other adjectives that do not fit the TOS.

It reared it's ugly head while I was on www.peopleofwalmart.com but I'm not sure if that's where I got it. My company's computers have very :rolleyes: virus protection so I'm not too surprised it happened.

Underwhelming breakfast - shredded wheat with shelf-stable milk and a sparkling tea (buy one get three free at Whole Foods).

I just burned 75K US miles to buy my sister and brother-in-law tix to go to PHX for Passover. I figure I should get rid of them while I still can.

:( :( :( :mad:

Another stupid mistake this morning - not counting leaving a bag at the hotel and barely making it to the airport on time - and I've lost more useful things. I'm a mess this weekend.

Currently watching the uncensored version of Artie Lang's special "Jack & Coke". It's a little wierd knowing that he almost killed himself a couple weeks ago.

If you're having trouble with travel basics (dropping cameras, forgeting bags), you should start flying WN....you'll be in good company with the other kettles :p :D

No kidding. It's really not hard to proofread yourself before posting.

I think my second favorite type of poor posting are the people that you know like blend several topics and stuff into one sentence and how they do not use punctuation or capitalization for like anything and when you finally get done reading their single sentence paragraph that should be five sentences you have to rub your eyes and massage your temples because getting to the end of that crap was a minor miracle in and of itself and you wonder how these people managed to pass high school english. :rolleyes:

But yet these fartbrains who do the above know how to spell "compensation"...shocking, I tell you.

ETA: And while I might not be perfect, I (here's the key) make the damn effort and I correct myself when necessary. There are people who don't even bother to try...like the toolbag in the men's room at WalMart the other night who dropped a paper towel out of the dispenser, cursed himself for doing so, and then failed to pick it up.

Lost netbook or Kindel? It sounds like you've found another boundary limit of More.

Sounds like a good reason to sleep through your flights.
