Many of you have asked for it... so here it is.

While this is OT, all of the rules still apply. Keep in mind that personal attacks an NSFW material will get posters in hot water.

Enjoy.

Group hug? BORING:rolleyes:

I have a friend in Cali Columbia. I'm thinking about taking the family down for a couple of weeks this summer - 1 in the city at his place and 1 on the Caribbean island of San Andreas at his family vacation home with his family. Worth $12,000 or so? I'm not quite as well off as BJ and I have a daughter who will need tuition starting in August '12, possibly at MIT.

Is this a 'you only live once' moment? Anyone ever spend this kind of cash on a vaca and regretted it?

One thing for sure, when I dropped $20K on the month long family ED trip last summer it was WELL worth it......

Don't get on my list mecodoug!

MIT is what, 50K a year now? Your daughter should max out student loans, and see about scholarships and assistance once she makes it through Freshman year. MIT gets all the press, but there are less expensive schools which give an equivalent education. No doubt though that MIT on your curriculum vitae opens doors.
Go to Columbia, spend less money. How do you come up with $12K for two weeks when you are staying with friends? This world traveler can't see that kind of cost.

I think you need to shop around a little better for flights. One of my techs is from the hills outside Cali, he visits when safe. His tickets are always a lot less (from Logan). Or are you going business class? If not, get a new travel agent.
I just picked up a RT ticket to Warsaw via Geneva for August, on SwissAir for $960. With snacks!

Not tomorrow, but our first Astros game with season tickets a few rows up right behind home plate is on Monday night.

I don't know I think this thread is not great. It's too random. 5 different conversations, confuses me. I say we plan a revolt.

This looks awfully "Che Guevara." Are you promoting a Socialist movement within this thread? Any discussion of Yugos, Skudas, Dacias, Trabants will quickly get moved.

I'm saying! Keep it real brother!

BJ,
No animosity...just trying to reach out. I made no insults or accusations...you did, but I forgive you.
 
#262 ·
BJ and everyone else I sent PMs to about DSX..and to DSX.


As DSX said, we agreed on alot of things after much correspondence. I knew that I would have to address this, in the open, as theres about 5 people out there that I tried to solicit for their assistance. I'm sorry I included you in a matter that should have remained between the individuals involved.

DSX, thanks for a fine repsonse, I don't think I specifically apologized, please accept my apology.

BJ, you're still one of my favorite posters, can you please submit more status kill stories?!

My fortune teller told me last February, there will be an upcoming day in April that I will rue. She was right. Amazing how a little application of crazy glue can rue-en one's day.

HP,

Maybe you should try going back to the future. :dunno:



Just took this pic from my office window. Notice how much attention it attracted.

The only cars that people in Manhattan are interested in are taxis.

I had to turn in my license today for 30 days...No driving till 7 MAY. :bawling: I should stick to speeding on the Bahn, but that back twisties are just so fun! I was about 30MPH over. So anyway last night I took the long way home, took the bahn home, missed my exit on purpose and then came back. I savored the ride as I blew by other vehicles putting along at 130MPH :D Damn this is going to be a slow month:(. At least I have 2 weeks of leave so that I don't have to inconvenience the wife or friends, and now I can drink at every outing since I cannot drive!:thumbup: Upside to everything
