Greetings from George Bush Intercontinental!
I have about 4 hours to kill till my flight to Port-of-Spain. I get an opportunity to earn back the money I spent in Orlando.
I may or may not be able to post the thread tomorrow.
Don’t step outside - only Texans can breathe the air in Houston in the summer.
I guess I’ll be SOL when I stay here the first week of August!
I already have luggage tags that say “SUX,l now I’ll get “POS”
where is port of spain? we are leaving for Amelia Island, FL tomorrow. xshub has lead me to believe that we were leaving Weds AM. I told them at work i could work a half day tommorow, bc i have a brief due out the day i get back to the ofc, the 30th. So just now he got the 24 hour prior to flight, US Air flight confirmation etc. and he forwards it to me saying we leave TOMORROW, not WEDS. I know he was confused himself, but still!
An’ another theme o’ this administration: Less energy, more expensive energy, and energy only from democratic donors to this administration ...
Only if you don't mind taking your life in your hands crossing the street. Never, never look a Massachusetts driver in the eye. He'll aim right towards you. And don't accept a ride from anybody named Kennedy, either.
I cannot think of anything else about ODrama that does not produce a feeling of anathema except his *eventual* OK to let Seal Team 6 go in and kill that sh** bin Laden.
Trinidad. Of “Trinidad and Tobago” fame.
Within spitting distance of Chavez.
I should only be a week, I’m only going cause one of my guys is on vacation this week.
Well, I THOUGHT that Boston Drivers were the worst, BUT when I moved to South Florida, my opinion changed! LOL!
Actually there are just a few loud freepers who hate Romney. Most others realize anything, anyone, anywhere is better than obama. It is childish to say romney is the same - they are pouting in the corner and refushing to admit what they know is true. We KNOW what obama will do in a second term - we may not have a 2016 if obama is reelected.
it annoys the daylights out of me. it’s not a perfect world, we get what we get, and what we have currently IS THE EPITOME OF ANATHEMA. A+++
A+++ you stateside?
My husband would agree with you! He has driven just about every part of the U.S. at one time or another and while he claims Boston is really really bad, he has only been hit in Miami. The officer who came to investigate the accident asked how long he had been there working and when he replied 3 weeks, the officer said, “and this is your first accident here?”
Indeed. Not a day goes by when I don’t see either an accident or its aftermath!
this is good. i am withholding judgment on Bristol bc of all the reality show crap, that gives me pause. but this was good.
that is WILD!
