Unsolicited testimony: Armando’s music is good. Congrats!

Thanks. And there are no vocals to stip out, so maybe KMehtas can write some witty lyrics to my pieces!

I had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving with lots of friends and family. Everyone got along well and had plenty to eat. The got along well is the cool part.

$3600 dollar check. Woot dividends will save us. Now I will go get the Watchman book (my only treat), a bit of work cloths (maybe) and keep paying off some debt. I never thought I would say it but thank you AT&T.

Help me use my JetBlue awards coupon!

At the risk of sounding spammy, I am wondering if anyone will interested in entering a financial arrangement with me, and save a little money on holiday travels:

Situation:

I have 2 JetBlue TrueBlue award passes, good for any JetFlight flight within the US. It can be used for one round trip flight, or two one-way flights. The problem is, they expire on Jan 10th, and I don’t plan on going anywhere before they expire. And I don’t wanna take a trip just to use the award coupon.

Here’s an idea:

So, I was thinking… do you plan on taking a trip anytime before Jan 10th? Do you know anyone who do? Could you fly JetBlue to your destination? How about if I buy you the ticket, and you pay me 80% of the ticket price? Basically, I’m offering 20% off on your holiday flights.

My alternative is to give them to my relatives, who will most likely weasel their way out of paying me. They always do.

Let me know if you’re interested. I think you can use it for a flight that takes place AFTER Jan 10th, as long as you buy and pay for the tickets before Jan 10th… but I’m not sure. Let me know if that’s what you want the coupons for, I’ll call JetBlue and confirm that’s kosher. I’d prefer this to be one of you guys that I know reasonably well, as opposed to someone who just signed up, but we’ll talk it out.

Thanks! That concludes the commercial messages from our sponsors. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

(Admins: if this post is inappropriate, i.e. you prefer that people don’t discuss possible exchange of money on GWC, then feel free to delete this post. If you DO end up deleting this, please do let me know, so that I can give my tickets away to my relatives or friends. Thanks!)

If it can be used after Jan 10 as long as you pay for it before the 10th I’d be interested.

I’m sure a bunch of other people would too.

GWC meetup and all

OMGs! DBT is a spambot! :eek:

Pretty impressive Turing test results though. :slight_smile:

I am programmed to put up 3000+ post before my spam routine gets activated. I am the most elaborate spambot, ever.

My cheap viagra sales subroutine gets activated at 5000 posts. Stay tuned.

And chant avatars!

btw, that’s awesome

Thanks dude! Just trying to blend in with the fellow X-Men.

I’ve just confirmed that I CAN indeed book a ticket for a flight that takes place AFTER Jan 10th, as long as we pay for the flight before Jan 10th. So, I can buy you a ticket to go to the meetup, if you want.

The more expensive the ticket, the more money I’m gonna get, so I would probably lean toward the more expensive flight, if more than one person interested. (Anyone wanna go to St. Maarten, Dominican Republic, or Hawaii?)

I got to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra last night. I didn’t think we’d get to see them this year. We even got club box seats which was pretty cool. It’s always a good show, never a disappointment. Fantastic if you love 80’s metal mixed with classical mixed with Christmas. Kicks Sorrybarb.

I had Indonesian food for the first time a few days ago, and it was DELICIOUS. I’m so excited to have discovered a new cuisine that I like! :slight_smile:

for anyone who wants to acquire it, the spoilers shirt from threadless has been reprinted.

I got a job!!! I knew I owned that frakking interview. The delay had been because they are trying to find me a desk at one of the offices closest to me (it’s in state government). Looks like I won’t be getting evicted after all! Yay!!

Yeah!!! Congratulations!

Everyone, drinks are on Cackleberry. Let’s hit the bar.

Thanks! I don’t drink so it’s always very amusing watching everyone else get tipsy

Yum! I could use some satay and coconut rice right now. And beef rendang is probably one of my favorite dishes ever!

What, you’re not gonna drink with us? You’re the guest of honor… we’re celebrating you!

Hey, now that I have this job I might be able to save enough money to come over there and meet you guys!

Congrats. Good luck.

OMGs, that would be amazing.

Congrats!! Gov’t jobs can sometime suck but they’re also pretty good most of the time. And here in South Dakota, I get 13 paid holidays a year!!! :smiley:
