yep, as many points as dollars you make in a year. When are you coming to visit my place of employment again? We have sushi you know.

You're still short dear!  ;)

 

Sushi?  Really.  My mom and grandmother took me there after my procedure last week.  Is Sushi only on the dinner menu?

 

The Korean BBQ and crepe are "so-so".  The gazpacho is nice, but the $12 hot dog needs some help.

The view is magnificent.

Looking for a new house.  Well looking but debating if I should actually do it.

Are you looking for a new houseboy to go with your new house? :mrgreen:

Thanks MTS..

 

There is no way that's pre-war though, wow that's got to be 70 floors up.

That pretty much why I don't like it.  I'm just nosey, I want to see how people live!  The unit has no character and it has a big open floor plan a HUGE NO-NO in my book!  Also, it's too far south for me to get to the airport quickly.

 

It's a private sale, so I couldn't take any pictures of the inside of the unit, but let me tell you, for the price, the unit looks like decorated in the 1980's.

God I don't miss random VP visits.  My location for my previous job was always #1 or #2 regionally and we'd still get bozos popping in all the time.  Always thinking "We've been doing everything you ask, I don't care if you are smiling and laughing, leave us the hell alone."

 

At least you don't have an FAA examiner showing up for a "check ride".

LOL..... if you want some vintage infotainment, you can read "It Doesn't Matter Where You Sit".  I think it was a book published in the 1960's.  In fact there's a chapter about an American Airlines Boeing 720 (a somewhat shorter version of the 707) that encountered clear air turbulence over Nebraska on a flight from LAX to CLE in 1963 (I think the year is correct).  the jet barrell-rolled, went inverted and if I'm not mistaken, broke the sound barrier (barely) in the dive before the pilots recovered.

Remember this was the early days of jet travel.  And in 1963 there weren't many jets flying high altitude, so speed was no problem.  Clear air turbulence was a relatively unknown variable.  So combine that with speed and you get some real bizare sh*t happening at that time including structual failure of airframes.

 

Today, of course, such things are virtually unheard of.  Yes, there are intances of turbulence (one just happened this week) but the ability to predict where it will occur and the crew response at outset (reduce speed) has limited the really bad outcomes.

OK.  I feel better now!

I'm sorry baby...didn't mean to be dramatic lol,, I was more or less making a point that aviation "horror" stories and finger pointing have been around for years.  The Frontline piece is nothing new.

 

Now enjoy your flight... This is your captain speaking, our flying time to Paris this evening will be.....blah blah blah lol

While we're on the topic of airplanes/airports, has anyone ever tried the online game at airwaysim.com?  I've tried a few airlines and it's tough.  The maintenance costs on my leased aircraft are killing me!

:-D

I feel really sorry for anyone whose life is such a void, such a wasteland that they have nothing to do on Memorial Day weekend but hang around online forums.

 

Oh ... Wait ...

 

Nevermind. I thought of something to do. Today I'm headed for Northwest Indiana, for opening weekend at Hesston Steam Museum, where maybe I'll ride some steam trains, and to Indiana Dunes State Park, where maybe I'll see some eye candy.

Any good hangover remedies?  I think I overdid the Pina Colada's yesterday.  I went for a run to shake it off and that has only made it worse.  Ugh!  I need some bread.

Aside from occasional walks, I've spent this weekend at the computer writing a brief... interspersed with playing "Viva Caligula."  The plan for later today: second job!  And of course it's the prettiest Memorial Day weekend in recent memory.

Honestly, a big, salty breakfast always worked extremely well for me. Full breakfast with meat, potatoes, eggs, pancakes, juice.  I know it's hard but start with toast and once you have toast and a little eggs you'll feel better enough to eat the rest.

Damn I'm bored.  Went home to visit my parents in the Michigan burbs.  Biking down spaghetti noodle streets is definitely not as fun as chicago streets.

RIB COOKOFF BABY! It's downtown, its delicious.

Odwalla 'Superfood'.  Looks gross and green, but does wonders.  Also, try an Airborne or Emergen-C. 

 

If that fails...smoke some weed.

I'm told blackberry brandy with bitters is #1.  Haven't tried it myself.

the easiest way to avoid or remedy hangovers is to drink a lot of water that night. Most of the symptoms of a bad hangover are from dehydration. So a big glass of water and an egg sandwich made by rNr is probably the best answer.

well there is always hair of the dog...bonus is if you check in you can get that bender badge on foursquare! 

Excedrin... The caffiene and aspirin do wonders when mixed with above mentioned water and greasy salty breakfast...

(yes I realized this was posted yeseterday)

Dang! Al and Tipper!

I love odwalla.  I think they taste great I didn't know they worked on Hangovers, since I've very seldom I drink.  Weed?  I have better uses for my money!

I did drink a lot of water, but I think the laying out in the sun all day took it's toll, I must have had about 8-10 drinks by the pool, plus a few shots at the casino.  But I would have a drink then water, then repeat.  I didnt eat much so I'm sure that was the reason.  My mother passed on so many things to me, but being able to hold liquor was not one of them.

"Hair of dog"?  What is that?  Sounds like something used by Doctor Bombay on Bewitched.  Is that "bender badge" as cool as the Barista Badge?  LOL  ;)

My brother just called me a big "wuss" and to man up!  I couldnt really eat, because I thought I would barf.  I was a total bitch on the plane ride back home.  If I see another PC I'm going to go off.  Althought considering its National Puerto Rican Pride month, I'm sure every damn Jibaro I know will be sipping on a PC!

 

Dang! Al and Tipper!

 

I know.  40 Years down the drain.  I bet somebody did something naughty and was caught. 

 

 

Someone I know who knows said there is an "uncanny" amount of attractive women that are part of his climate change training programs in TN.

CBC here a good one for you - if you have 30M laying around.  The view is the best thing about this apartment and I'll be surprised if they get that.

 

A person spends all this money to buy in this building and your home had no soul or character, just a view. Not to mention the decor is early New Jersey tacky!

 

The only plus about this apartment, is that the commute is an elevator ride.

Damnit!  I left my lucky freak'em swimsuit in PR!  :whip: :x

Not sure we want to know what makes it your "lucky" swim suit. :-o
