No. Grab something close to the airport. I only put up with it on MSP-GEG runs for 2010 Rollover Stay Credits. I'm glad I did. Only need 5 more stays for 2011 Plat Requal.

If you time the light rails correctly at MSP, it's not too bad - about 20-25 minutes each way. I arrived at MSP around 11pm and returned the next morning around 6am and felt it was worth it.

Fair point. I guess I also had the additional motive of qualifying for SPG Plat.

I would be very curious to know exactly what were the criteria for this targeting, since I got it too...

The day before we were supposed to leave for BUD, I spent several hours with one of the other singers ripping apart his storage locker to find his passport. He figured I would have the best likelihood of helping him find it since I had helped pack up his entire apartment into the thing two months earlier. :rolleyes: (yes, we did find it)

I drove from BTR to HHH a couple summers ago (there one Saturday, back the next Saturday). NEVER. AGAIN. The Florida Panhandle is pretty soul-draining. Seriously, I think my threshold is about 4 hours now, especially if I'm alone.

There was a "Narcoleptic Puppy" video that made the rounds when I was in college. I should look for it again... Hilarious.

I am definitely worried about getting to DCA on Friday, even if I can get onto the 2:45 pm flight.

I have a 4-year old Eureka Bagless. Hanging in there just great - not bad for $60 or so at (I think) Sam's Club.

Thanks for the response, Hartmann. I suspect it may just be the usual intermittent IT :rolleyes:.

OF keeps crashing when adding 3 flights, when inputting airport on the 3rd one, bam firefox crashes. 3 Crashes in last 3 min grrrrr

Don't count on sidewalks being clear. During the last one, everyone was walking in the street because there were no cars around and the streets were easier to trot around on.

Sounds like PRG. Are there massive sheets of ice/snow falling from the rooftops as well? :)

Yes, generally.

ALCO in DC during a blizzard...I would pay to see this. :-: Too bad I will be...well...who knows at this point. If the snow comes down as hard as the forecasts say, I might be marooned at the apartment or stuck at the hotel.

Oh! I feel for you. It really is a royal pain to have feet that are different in size, shape, etc. from the "norm".

Because it was patently obvious that my daughter had an issue as soon as she was born - 4 toes on one foot kinda gives the game away - she was monitored from birth. She had full skeletal x-rays every six months, and from these the orthopods were able to plot her bone growth. Her leg length deficiency at birth was tiny, but it grew over time to almost 2 inches by the time she was 9yrs old. Because the ortho's were tracking the rate of bone growth, they were able to pinpoint an exact two week window in which to do the surgery on her longer leg. They scraped the growth plate out, and this allowed the shorter leg to keep growing and eventually catch up. It's incredible that now, at aged 17, there is less than half a centimetre of difference in her leg length. If we hadn't had such good ortho's, she would have had to have had the far more major leg lengtheing surgery that involves very painful stretching of the bones.

Her small foot will never catch up with her bigger foot. The bones are all fused together and so she has a very restricted range of motion. The foot is also quite bent. She had surgery when she was 9 and they reshaped the foot, used bone grafts, etc. from donors and managed to reconstruct her foot to a reasonable straightness. The surgery had an excruciatingly painful recovery period. Her large foot is a size 9 and her small foot is a size 4/5 depenidng on the style of shoe.

So, I can empathize with you. It's such a shame they didn't catch it earlier so you could have been spared the pain.

OK... so which one of you conjured up a snowstorm for the weekend? I soooo don't want to get stuck here in FTW tomorrow. Let's hope the disaster doesn't strike until Friday :)

We're sorry your :rolleyes: can not be completed as dialed.

:rolleyes:

I am heading to Stephenville tomorrow, if you end up stuck.....we could visit.

I must buy some cheese between Dublin and Stephenville...

Brituchenite would like to make a statement:



I DO NOT LIKE THE SNOW :(


That is all.

Thank you.
