Yes we did, a near thing too. They held the plane for 20 minutes while Luftansa reinstated our tickets. They didn't just cancel they removed almost all records of the flight plan. Was rather annoying, I got quite heated at the counter rep as they had the usual casual indifference I've encountered in Germany. Here in Turkey. The weather is wonderful, highs barely topping 70° with fully sunny skies. Going to visit father-in-law's at the cemetery and then the tomb of Ataturk. Then off to a nice dinner somewhere. Here's us trying not to transfer our frustration onto the already tired little one.

“ Sometimes the nerdy, very bright and basically good students just … later, became incredible /accomplished in their fields “ My next door neighbor (about a half mile away) studied vocational agriculture in high school and now he’s out standing in his field.

I pedaled 24 miles from Astoria Or to the Pacific Ocean and back. Day one of my coast to coast ride. Test ride to hook up the Bob and see how it worked. Stayed at the Lamplighter motel in Astoria. Yes- the one that serves fresh soup and fresh baked bread. It was tomato bisque that night. Who quits their job at the peak of a recession? Me, that’s who. Having the worlds worst boss makes the decision easier.

...by introducing me to a garage painter. Turns out getting involved with the painter is way cheaper than the divorce.

This has been going on since... oh yeah, the last ice age. The earth, doesn't care, it is just us insignificant blobs of biological goo and future fossil fuels that do. Clearly, we need to add more taxes to everything to stop the ravages of global warming.

My condo needs a part time handyman/custodian..we have someone part time to check the pool and the boilers but we need someone to take out the trash and recycle.change lightbulbs and some basic stuff. Well we have had a temp at work..but the next new guy should start soon..full time...So I connected our temp with my condo winner winner chicken dinner

Square wheels forum is hardly the place for elliptical discussions. Find a real angle.

Of one of my granddaughters that I don’t get to see. She is beautiful. Divorce sucks. When she was young they lived with us. She has always been beautiful.

They grow on trees here in the states. Like I said, nature's perfect food. In MN, they make tater tot hotdish.

It made me laugh

Wo46 and I did some paddle boarding around part of the Apostle Islands last year and are planning on trying to paddle some of the caves this summer. We wanted to go to the islands this winter but the ice was not stable enough for the hike to the caves. The caves are just amazing in the winter.

It's a very underappreciated food.

At times. It was hard, satisfying, fun, inspiring, scary and refreshing at various turns. PS the first day was 12 miles each way, 24 total. 10 years later, it’s an experience I’m very glad I did.

Wear bright clothes! (It'll make it easier for me to find you)

When I read this thread title, I assumed RG wrote it.

My garden lettuce mix is excellent this year, if I do say so myself, and I do! Goes very well with crumbled feta and Olive Garden crack cocaine dressing! It is aboot half various mescluns, with red leaf, red romaine, and bibb to balance all that bitterness with a little sweetness. I slightly overplanted, so there is plenty, too!

Girls wear high waisted pants because their girlfriends tell them it looks good, knowing full well that no man really likes it thus trying to minimize the competition. Kind of like if we all were all going out for beers, I would try to convince each of you that you should wear crocs because they look great on you

I just sunk $1.91 PLUS TAX(!) on fixing the bike I have!!!!! Jeebus, money man!

I have actually been wearing overalls around home when I need to wear pants. The waistband on jeans cuts right into my hernia repair. Not a fashion statement, just comfort. I’ll wear jeans tomorrow when I go to the doctor.

It's just a darker roast. Throw on a little more salt.

...purging is only horrible while you're doing it. Afterward, it feels kind of nice...like you're all empty and light.

I hate to say it, but soon the only suitable place to produce Maple Syrup will be Baffin Island.

Frozen ones are okay, but they are better when harvested fresh from tater tot trees.

Guilty. He has a mug shot. Police never arrest people who are not guilty.

They are nature's perfect food. I once found this truck parked in front of a tap room. Bliss.

I prefer it with fried chicken embryos and mass quantities of beer

Oh wait, wrong club.

Let's stuff this little puppy in and see who gets to go to the hospital. Dyno run at 60+ hp at the rear wheel.

We all got a Rascal in our past....

I'm diggin running. When I'm not working or eating I'm thinking about running. Go a little further & a little faster every time

You got involved with a painter??? What does Mr Aire say about his and does he know? ?

Which he accomplished with great regularity.Tim Conway was the only person who could keep a straight face when Tim Conway was in the room.

Nope, but I am not as stupid as I look.

A packet of five different ones.

One of those 2-pairs-for-$69.99-including-exam places. Yeah right. Progressive, transition, glare coating = ~$600

You humans are so screwed. The robots and roaches will enjoy the world you leave us.

The new derailleur hanger is here. It is much better than the one that broked. A buddy gave me an old wheel. I need to put the new hanger on tonight and see if I can bend around the cage to get it right again. If not I have a couple other derailleurs that I can slap on there. Hope to get it up and running this week.

Kootenai Falls, Yaak Falls (lower, upper), Lake Koocanusa, Kootenai river below Libby Dam. Not shown: Lots more scenery besides this. Trains on the BNSF northern main line, a blue Lamborghini, stromatolites, footbridge across the Kootenai River at Kootenai Falls, The Dirty Shame Bar at Yaak, Cabinet Mountains, Pipe Creek Summit and Ski Area, etc.

...this is by far the most beautiful entry point along the southern border. You do end up in Texas, but it's in a nice part of Texas.

She died today, too? What a crappy Monday.

I've been limited in USA travel, but from the list I've been to the Mendenhall Glacier (though not the caves); Devil's Tower; Assateague Island here on Maryland's Atlantic Coast (and its wild ponies); New River Gorge Bridge, West Virginia; Indiana Dunes; and the Badlands in SD. There are other sites that have taken my breath away by their beauty and uniqueness more than most on the list and include the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Niagara Falls, and the Luray Caverns in Virginia. It was at Mendenhall Glacier that I saw my first Bald Eagles. Before our Alaska Cruise in 2002 I had contacted a distant Alaskan relative I had met on the Internet and who took us on a personal tour of Juneau when we arrived. At the Mendenhall Glacier glacier, she said nonchalantly, "When we were in high school, on the days we hooked school we used to hang out over there by the tree where those bald eagles are." To her, the bald eagles were an everyday occurrence, so she was surprised by our reaction. To us, seeing bald eagles was almost as spectacular as the glacier itself. Later on, since the salmon were running, we saw a couple stretches where the trees had nearly turned white with the hundreds of bald eagles in them - a sight we Mid-Atlantic folks will never forget.
