Sounds like the opposite, though equivalent, of only finding one or two good Kosher delis in some American cities. You love it, but it might not be so convenient, so you do not get there too often.

Dovster, you could pick up some bacon in the US, for your bacon cheeseburgers, but if you ever fly El Al back to Israel, they might not let you on the plane with it! LOL

I wonder what the next announced announcement will be when it is announced? Complementary upgrade through 02/13 to next level for those of us who are not DM? An extra bonus of XXX MQMs? A pair of B/E tickets anywhere and earning MQMs?

Before you write the actual post, do not the protocols for this event first require an announcement of the announcement?

How are we to know if it will be an announcement of an announcement or a mere announcement?

Tell your co-worker you are busy doing more important things.

And it's already tomorrow.
