Vanity - sitting on the tarmac on a USAirways flight from Houston. Pilot announced a "system-wide hard shut down." Anyone know what's up?

I've never found a pair of socks that stay up that were not made from wool.

Yes, but is staying-up the major criteria here?

Let us consider the priorities.

Yes, it is. Now you can wear the medium wgt wool in the summer, and the heavier wool socks in the winter.

Illinois senate voting on Blogo impeachment as I type.

Are you in an Airbus? If they have a computer problems sometimes they have to go complete electrical shutdown for a “reboot” believe it or not..

Wow the prayers worked. They just announced the system is back up. We are refueling at the gate and should be taking off soon. Hopefully. Thanks all for keeping me company.

If you're going to Illinois look for a man on the side of the road, he'll have heavy bangs of black hair, holding a sign that reads:

Good friend worked Miami center,
he vehemently complained bout a posible safety violation so they reitried him early saying he’d gone a bit crazy.
I think F.A.A. is terrible. NO to anything new and good like G.P.S. as a primary form of navigation?
Nahhhh, let’s stay in the mid 20th century.

My no-see socks are not wool and they stay up nicely.

Ok apparently we are fueled and just “waiting on the paperwork” to get going. Always the paperwork...

be happy with the curve, I hear lots of problems with the storm, altho if you are handy with electronics you can probably fix many of the issues. I have at&t as well and just got a curve, if you update the OS on it, it will record video. I was looking at getting a BOLD, I didnt know the curve wasnt 3g but other than that it is pretty good phone.

The gate agents have to send the final numbers to PIT before the captain gets clearance from PIT for take-off.

LOL,,Six days on that plane waitng for the CIP device to be firewalled!!

Meanwhile is there a chemical plant near him,,that might have him on shutdown due to the air.

But we have to keep himn updated,,it is only fair.
