Speaking of master debating, how are we going to know which mileposts were in the exact order originally posted by Traveller?

Even worse, will she be thinking of the Dovster whilst performing this ... uh ... er ... “experiment”?

Just in case anyone was curious

The split of champagne from the mini bar goes pretty well with the stale blueberry muffin from the vending machine as a dinner (yes I know this is wrong beyond words but hey its the jetset life)

Definitely wrong. You can't use your AMEX in the vending machine, so you don't get miles. It would have been cheaper to walk down the street to the convenience store, and bought a bottle of MD 20-20 or Ripple and a bag of chips; you could earn miles for those.

edit: sorry Canarsie, I forgot. I should have combined those two into a single post. My bad.

Do I look stupid *looking around my room, at my dinner, at the keys to my apartment* you better not answer that right now *smile*. But I will have you know the money that went in the vending machine came off my DL Amex Skymiles Platinum card! I am moody tonight but not crazy I will still get my miles

Even the Mexican and Indian (American) eateries only had T******.

What the Hell is going on in Montana???

Thank God I'm home. We have tons of CTS here

CTM, get back to work!!!!!!!!!

Hey, mikey.....the better question is Where The Hell is Montana??
Last I checked, there were more three-legged dogs in Southern California than there were people in Montana.
Gotta spend your time where the bucks are.

Mexico Trivia Time: 75% of Mexico is on Central time, 22% is on Mountain time and only 3% is on Pacific time. One of the ports we visited....Puerto Vallarta...was on Central time. But the ship could never get the brain dead pax to EVER change their watches so we just stayed on Mountain time all week until we got into port in San Diego this morning.

I visited there one winter and I'm not proud of that fact.

Yeah me too canarsie sorry.

But on that subject of post padding, did anyone else see talkmail in the last day or two. Does Randy really think its a good idea to do a huge story about how close FT is getting to a major milestone post (think it was 5 million) and how exciting it will be to see how fast we get there and who gets that one. Like that wont spur a post padding war. Not good planning on that one..... I figure mikey is already out buying more puters so he can reanswer the first 4 million posts on FT, one at a time.

There is no need to apologize.

By the way, I believe that the FlyerTalk clock has already changed. It is 11:58 in the evening, but the bottom of my FlyerTalk window states All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:58 pm.

I did not change my settings.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yup, the clocks have changed.

I guess that Traveller lost out on her chance for a four minute virtual affair with me.

Reallllllllyyyy *smile*, yes but as corn knows everything with me is up for change, a potential client is flying me out for a meet and greet on Dec 7th and was going to come probaby day before and hoped I'd get to meet you guys. And that will be so cool if I get this client (which is about a 90% chance right now I will, we'll get to play together)

I will put the time in…. east coast time (and I never know if we are on standard or daylight time, so I won’t mention that. And no one please try to explain, because I won’t remember anyway...

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 12:04 am.

No, my clock is still right. It’s 12:04 AM on my laptop.
