As you already know, any bookings after January are going to have a nice new restriction on the TTFs - you'll need that spreadsheet to separate your funds from WifeMpls'.

How are you getting to DeltaDo? Flying into BHM and driving to ATL?

That only applies to tickets, not to vouchers. WifeMpls only flies on companion fares, for which I intend henceforth* to have the taxes refunded to my CC when I cancel one of her itins.


*Have you used henceforth in a sentence today? That is today's assignment for all in the Lounge™: Use the word "henceforth" (optionally translated into a language of your choice) in a complete & coherent* sentence.


*The coherence requirement will be waived in the case of a certain punny senior moderator and anyone else with a good excuse.*


*Tomorrow's assignment will to be to daisy-chain as many footnotes together as humanly (or otherwise) possible.


**Yup. There's more than one way to infiltrate the Aerie of the Wings of Satan.

If you've met Dov, you'll understand.

I'd eat it, just for the novelty. No encouragement from Dov needed

There are many things, when I was in Singapore, Korea, Viet Nam and Malaysia, that I ate without knowing what ingredients were in the dish and would eat again. This dish, for some reason, just does not look appetizing. Sickly sweet grease is what comes to mind.

Thank you. Quality sleep is good, and I bet it is hard to get in PHX since it is so hot.

I was going to ask why you were up so early...then I remembered you live in GVA.

We can all agree, regardless of where we live, that summer is the most enjoyable season of all.

Bueno, ya que se habla italiano, no importaría si hablo español. No todo el mundo habla en el mundo de las lenguas que usted lo hace, por lo que debe adaptarse a ellas, en lugar de pensar en ti mismo y tus deseos.

Ridiculous. This is a bacon cheeseburger with the added advantage of not making you go through the trouble of having to lift a dessert to your mouth.

It is a combination of culinary excellence and work engineering.

I personally find spring and autumn far more appealing and enjoyable than summer.

I do not know about the first three hens, but henceforth and hencefifth I am adhering to that opinion, no matter how fowl anyone else thinks of it.

Well, most of us can agree now.

I do enjoy spring as the snow is going away, warmer weather, etc.

I like the fall for the leaves changing colors, football season, Thanksgiving, etc. I dislike the fact that it is getting colder and that winter is right around the corner.

That is because you live in the northeastern United States.

Here in the Atlanta area, winter is a welcome respite from the summer heat. It does get cold here, and it does snow, but usually there are warm sunny days that break up the winter from being a long, dreary cold season.

The winter weather season is also shorter here. I really like the variety of seasons and would not want to give up the winter season.

Same with BNA - that's one reason I'm happy to be going to SYD in a few weeks

Not out here in So California. The days frequently get above 100 degrees, there's not a drop of rain or even a cloud for months and the AC bill gets ridiculous.

I much prefer what passes for winter out here...65-75 degrees, partly cloudy and rain maybe once a week or so.

Plus I feel smug when it's below zero with snow and ice up the ying-yang out East.

While we're on the topic of burgers, this one made the Guinness Book as the largest burger ever made. It was prepared in Toronto and weighs a whopping 590 pounds.

Rumor has it that if you can finish it at one sitting that it's free.
