^:cool:^

Up entirely too early here this morning but hoping that nap time later solves that problem. Finally a day that doesn't involve schlepping out to Flushing so I have much lazy planned.

In continuing education classes all day.:eek:

Hi, Box #1.1 :p

CO 1E May 1, 2011 3:48 pm

Good to see people are still posting here. ;)

monitor May 1, 2011 4:03 pm

It is more relaxed over here. Lots of the same people and lots of the same subjects but not a whole lot of technical stuff about the intricacies of EUA, the merger, and methods of insuring ELR or E+, all of which are important but need only one venue like this. And when that stuff does come up, it is easy to find the answer since it never is lost among some of the more exotic 20 stop MLR itineraries that are posted over there that frequently leads one to scan as opposed to read carefully. :)

zippypinhead May 1, 2011 4:06 pm

I think it was Phudnik that first posted the question. But it bears asking again...

Who the hell are these guys? And what did they do with my Cleveland Indians? :confused::confused:

The eternal kid in me believes they're going all the way before each season. But, this start is beyond anything I could imagine.:D

Oh, I'm not criticizing it. I can barely keep up with just the Box over there, let alone the more substantive threads.

Really? Back when Box was in the old forum we shared such details. And we goofed off.

I'm not making my comments to say who's done what or anything like that. The Box was an escape from the regular forums for me, even if it meant flying topics were still discussed, that's all I was saying.

You read (and apparently have read) me wrong. In no way do I disrespect the Box. When one has missed twenty or thirty pages and has a limited time it may be necessary to scan as opposed to reading deeply. It certainly is the place for sharing details when you have some that may be interesting to others and that and the camaraderie that engenders is to be respected.

Although I do not participate in the mileage runs and find some of the itineraries to be admirably mind-boggling, I do try to contribute whatever I can to the dialogue and when I have some information that is requested or which I think may be of interest, I share it over there. I have met quite a few of the Boxians and I think that there are very few or no others who will say that I disrespect the Box, and by implication, them personally.

It was I, and I still wonder. The $15 I paid for the MLB At Bat app for my Blackberry has been well worth it. Whenever I get sad, I'm going to watch Santana's game-ending grand slam from the other night and it will cheer me right up, no matter what else happens the rest of the season.

Now to find CO and US e-fares that match up with home games...

GTITAN May 1, 2011 7:24 pm

Good Evening Classic B:rolleyes:x III.:-:

First post in this 'Box post Bin Laden (R.I.H. - Rest In Hell). The wife and I are still up watching the different channels. Channel 4 in NYC was on the air till 1:30am EDT. :eek: Time for bed.

paranoiatx May 2, 2011 1:22 am

Hmm, how sad is it that I saw this in the Box first and THEN went to check the news sites/channels?

Ditto, except I'm not bothering to check other sources. :rolleyes:

snod08 May 2, 2011 6:31 am

Hello B:rolleyes:x.

I have been at W:rolleyes:rk pretty much through Sunday evening. So, Monday morning isnt that bad...as i never saw the weekend.

At any rate. Good news on that tewwowism front...hoping for good times for all traveling folks.


Also, I generally agree with what monitor said.
I personaly like all Boxers/ettes even though I have only met a few.
I dont go to too many events / MR's, etc..mainly because of scheduling reasons.

I think there is pretty much respect for what a Boxian is saying (no matter what is the topic).

For example, I was amazed that a few people actually asked me to explain some rules of cricket.^
Even though, I was sure that most folks in here would not watch the game.

The other nice thing about Boxians is that they have widespread knowledge of different airline/hotel programs and other such things. So, if I have a question, I get an answer with ease. Thanks for everything. ^

I believe that the purpose is summed up in two key quotes,

(1) "It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma ....."

(2) "I poast therefore I am. Poasty Post!"

The idea that teh Box might have to have a reason to be seems alien. It is what it is.

Sure...I'd love to at this point. Don't get me wrong - I like getting paid whether I'm busy or not - but I was basically begging the guy today for anything to do and he basically told me to just sit tight and not bother. :rolleyes:
