8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 11

[Downrivermama]

Maybe we should put together the list of good airlines and airports so when we all start making plans in Sept. (unless you have Disney Air, then you can just read and see how bad it might be....)...

NWA has a hub here in Detroit. They have had stinky customer service for the past 20 yrs!

I'm trying Southwest in July. Spirit is ok but as of June 1st you have to pay for checked lugage! I had to pay $10 extra both way last month because they are only allowing 1 checked bag per person... until June. They said they want to offer lower fares. But the cost won't be lower if you have to pay for checked bags! Oh and no more comp beverages either.

Morning all - although I suppose it's getting close to afternoon for many of you.

I want to know who sent the germs over the DIS? My SPT woke up vomitting this morning. Very odd for him. I can count on 1 hand how many times in his life he has actually had something come up. He is rarely sick.
Actually, it's mostly likely due to the 'game' they played at youth group last night. Who could chug the drink fast enough. The drink consisted of milk, chocolate syrup, veggie baby food, hot sauce, banana....not sure what else?? Not sure I want to know. Sent him off to school anyway. Payback to his teacher who just happens to be one of the youth counselors!!!

M - you are in rare form this morning. Glad to see you are keeping your humor in all this.

OH bonus for my tavels plans being delayed 5 hours (so far).

Let's see how well you have all gotten to know me during the last 2 months.

Which will I choose:

250 airline miles
Free in-flight beverage (cocktail, beer, wine)

hmmmm... decisions, decisions....

This must be frustrating. So sorry. Enjoy the , as I'm sure you don't want the FF miles and commit yourself to flying NWA again.

It does say a lot that you think of us though when stranded at an airport, although I can't quite put my finger on what it's saying.

Observations from an airport:

"MSP Airport Conference Center

* Conference Rooms for 1 to 100"

YOU CAN'T HAVE A CONFERENCE IF YOU ARE BY YOURSELF!!!

A conference room for 1 might be a thoughtful spot, but it is not a conference room.


Sorry...I write for a living, thing like this bug me all the time!
I bet Ninja Mary gets it.

Quite true.

I'm glad you haven't totally lost your sense of humor during your misadventures at the airport! I'd be totally ticked by now. I could take a lesson from you.

 

[justmestace]

Maybe the conference room for 1 is for those executives who are addicted to meetings! If they can't meet with others, they meet with themselves!

Or maybe they have multiple personalities! EVIL TWINS!

Conference Room for One.....

For those with DISassociate DISease

Greetings from Minneapolis

We sat on the runway in Anchorage for an hour last night, so I missed my connections (yes plural). I'm bouncing to RI. Anchorage, Minneapolis, Detroit, Providence. Now I won't hit RI until 3:25. The wake starts at 4.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I CAN'T FIND THE CINNABON!

So if anyone wantneeds a neck pillow, a Paul Bunyan postcard, Golden Gopher grear, a MN lotto ticket or an iPod from a vending machine, just let me know sometime in the next few hours - K?

iPod from a vending machine? Ok...... How many quarters is that?

Hang in there M.

There are worse airports to be stuck in. Try San Juan PR for 8 hours. It's an absolute tropical H*ll Hole.

Happy Birthday Patricia

Being a pirate and pirating this...

Happy Birthday Patricia!

 

[Joel110]

so glad you clarified that

It's because you PR people make me self conscious that I'm going to write something like "Conference Room 1-100" and be flamed.


Seriously, we know it's a tough day for your family today already without the stress of travel delays. It says a lot that you can help relieve that stress with some humor, many others would not handle it so well.

THERE!! All ketch-ed-up!!!

I was wondering where you were. We need to plan mini meet soon.

I think I could probably swing a Chicago mimi-meet! Can't make it to CA of FL this year, but Chicago is a weekend (or even just a day) trip for me! Keep me informed!!

Ok where is Crsh been hiding out? I almost expect him to post one of his long postings at any moment.

I was just thinking this myself...Where IS Crash?!?!

Just had to come back and share. Even though announcements were not supposed to happen until tomorrow, my boss just had a converstaion with me.

I STILL HAVE A JOB!
....

AWESOME!! Great news!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
PETE
SAMMY
TODD ​

CONGRATS!!!

I'm not going to be on vacation

Me neither... But I have to say that Andy and MR have me almost as excited as if I were going!! Everytime I read one of their posts, I get that fluttery feeling in my gut...I'm the queen of living vicariously... I hope you all have a WONDERFUL time!! (and have a few drinks for me!!)

I like cookies

Did someone say COOKIES?!?!

You're cracking me up...

Observations from an airport:

When did Faux News Channel get its own store?

I walked by really fast out of fear my head would explode.



Or that I might be trampled by elephants.

Still cracking me up...

"1/2 day down, 1/2 day to go!!!"​

 

[cinderella_mom]

Good morning everyone.

Hope everyone has a great time on their respective spring vacations. I am taking off one day (4/13) while DD is on Spring Break to go to the Star Wars exhibit and 3-D IMAX Dinosaur movie at the LA Science Museum. WooHoo. Once all this Spring Break nonsense is over, we'll head off to DL again. It was way too busy two weeks ago, even on Monday.

Now to Ketchup...

I won't be working for the same boss or even the same kind of work. I got slotted for another position within the company. I was targetted for getting laid off because I'm not working on one of the major projects right now. But my boss and her director lobied for me and found me something.


Now I'm going to miss the pirate run.....unless you all are kind enough to wait a few hours.....I'm about to hit the 75 min commute....

Congrats. I wish you great luck in your new postition.

 

[cinderella_mom]

OK Here it is ! My 1000th POST

 

[cinderella_mom]

Good evening!

Just wanted to share!

Chrissie

That's terrific. Way to go!

That cookie dough wouldn't have lasted one day in our refridgerator. No, there's nothing wrong with our fridge....we would have eaten it!!!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is better than
