    bear,
    bear, I reckon, if memory serves, you were in on the chat where we started talking about fishnets and garter belts, and how iknowUrider thought them sexy... she has told me, a while back, her place with her husband; they call it the 'love shack' a bit of an inside joke there. peace.

    and then
    the airlines usually respond and give 'something' even to semi-legit complaints like that one with the phone being dis-connected. there is a lot of competition in the air these days. and there are other choices. we do fly A LOT, so they also tend to 'respond' to steady custom, especially when worded so sweetly lke in my letter. ( -; and then there was the time I bitched, nicely in a letter, to NW about the fact there was no pillows, and got 10,500 miles, the time a reservation agent laughed at me, (well, she chuckled...) and I got 10,000 miles... I was pointing out a problem with a reservation. in a totally serious tone of voice, and she just chuckled. 'you think I'm funny? what am I? a clown? here to amuse you??!!' Pesci in Goodfellas I AM one of those guys who just tries to ek out as many miles as possible at every occassion. I even take convuluted, extremely time consuming routes because it adds up to more miles at the same fare. peace.

    squeeky wheel
    I grew up in the back room of a saloon, learning that 'the customer was ALWAYS right' this is a case of how I got 5,000 bonus miles just for sending an email to explain what happened when I was trying to buy a tix online... being the squeeky wheel, so to speak. I refrained from using cuss words, and had my old lady edit up my shakey grammer and spelling... ( -; Message: To Thai Air: I would like to explain what happened when I spoke with reservation agents on the telephone yesterday. Online, I was trying to book an e-ticket, and I had an e-cert certificate that I was trying to use. I was unsure of the procedure, and called to inquire about it. I had searched for a flight and a price, but even after I had put in my e-cert number, and even after an E-Coupon icon appeared, the price remained the same. I did not want to click Purchase this Ticket before I saw the changed fare. I asked why the price had not been discounted. She asked if the ticket price was over 100 US$, and yes it is because this is a long flight. I was placed on hold (there is a timer on my cordless phone, so I am quite sure about the times) for 8 minutes. When the reservation agent returned, she told me she did not know, and I should use the information portion of the website to ask my question. I told her I wanted to book the ticket as soon as possible to get the best fare, because sometimes discount fares become sold-out, or lower priced seats suddenly become sold out. She told me she could not answer any more questions and my only option was to use the site. I tried to read through the FAQs, and so on, but could not get an answer to my question. I wanted to book the ticket before any discount fares were suddenly sold out. I called Thai air's ticket line again. I explained again. This time, the reservation operator asked for my schedule and flight numbers, etc. I was placed on hold for 9 minutes, when suddenly the phone line went dead. I immediately called back but getting a different person on the line, I asked to speak with the person I had just spoken to. I told her this was a flight ticket, and again gave all of the flight numbers. I was agian placed on hold, and after 13 minutes the phone line went dead again. I called again, and again, I told her how I had been on hold before and cut off twice, this time, she had the common sense to ask my telephone number in case we were cut off again. But, I had to explain everything again, and I finally learned that I am unable to use the e-coupon. I clicked on purchase this ticket, but the session had timed out, and I had to go back and re-enter all of the information again. Needless to say, it was a very long and frustrating experience trying to book this ticket, a major bummer, and a total buzz negator. Is there a problem with the phone lines? Essentially, it took me more than 90 minutes to finally book my ticket. The time to call, the time to explain, the time to wait on hold, and the time to enter all of my information again. It was all rather vexing. Sincerely, CC Joe Dear Mr. CC Sawat Di Ka. Thank you for contacting nwa.com Customer Service regarding the difficulty you had booking a reservation online with an e-certificate. We appreciate the time you took to write and tell us about your experience. On be half of Thai Air I apologize for the amount of time it took to get an answer to your question from our agents. I can understand how frustrating it would be to desire assistance and each time be disconnected. As our customer, you are in the best position to point out areas that need attention. Our goal is to provide consistent and accurate information to our passengers at all times. I am sorry that in this instance you did not receive the service you expected and should have received when you called the Customer Service to inquire about the use of the e-certificate. Feedback like yours will help us improve our process and overall customer experience. Please know I will be sharing your comments with the responsible leadership team for internal follow up. Please know we greatly appreciate your business as a Platinum Royal Thai Air Silk member. As a tangible expression of our appreciation and as an apology for the poor service you received I have added 5,000 Bonus Miles to your account. Please allow 2-3 business days to see these bonus miles added to your account. Again thank you for taking the time to write us about your experience and I am confident given the opportunity to serve you in the future, Thai Air will not only meet but exceed your expectations.

As I left work yesterday I saw that Mark Buerhle had pitched a perfect game for the Chisox against the Rays. In my car CD player was Todd Snider's "The Excitement Plan", and the second song to queue up as I headed home was "America's Favorite Pastime", his retelling of the day that the Pirate's Doc Ellis pitched a no-hitter on acid. It's a funny song and I recommend the album...and it was a completely fitting way to spend a few moments perusing the day's perfect game. Doc definitely wasn't on 'droids... "Hallucinating halloween scenes With each new swing of the bat His sinker looked like it was falling off a table But nobody was hallucinating that!"

I guess I meant 'roids. I doubt that R2D2 was around that day, but who knows what Doc was seeing. The story according Snopes is here. http://www.snopes.com/sports/baseball/ellis.asp You'll need to wade through a bit to get to the no-hitter on acid story.

I feared my wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to. I thought she might need a hearing aid. >>>> (Too many Who concerts?) <<<< Not quite sure how to approach her on the subject, I called the family doctor to discuss the problem. Doctor told me there is a simple informal test I could perform to give him a better idea about her hearing loss. "Here's what you do." said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and say something in a normal conversational speaking tone, to see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." Last evening, my wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and I was in the den. I said to myself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone I ask, " Honey, what's for dinner?" > No response. So I move closer to the kitchen, 30 feet from my wife and repeat, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still, no response. Next, I move into the dining room, 20 feet from my wife and ask, "Honey, what's for dinner?" "Geez" I said to myself, after again, no response. So, I walk up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again, there is no response. So I walk right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?" "Doofus!, for the FIFTH time, it's CHICKEN!"

Huh? It's really great when I'm with my Dad, who preceded me down this hearing-impaired road. Huh? Huh? Huh? HUH??? Actually, I revert a lot to "I'm sorry?" That way I communicate that I didn't hear, that it's my fault, and, you know, I'm sorry for making you repeat what you said. Ted, your story made my day...

Opening the morning classes, I'd fade in with a kick-ass version of Bertha. At the closing bell I'd do an 8 beat BIODTL. Best wishes for a successful school year for you and your students, Caroline.

Wow! There was a long time where I thought I was the only school administrator who was a "deadhead". The best thing is the attitude you bring to the job that creates a culture unlike any you will find in school system! I run a charter school and answer only to my board Your guy may have mandates and orders from on high - it a livin, we all gotta eat - don't fault him for that. Oh - yeah the whole point - I was able to secure a grant that allows our students to drum in the morning (we were able to purchase 150 different kinds of hand drums). Drumming for wellness is what we call it. t's voluntary, but there are few who do not participate. We have K-12 in one building and what an awesome sight - and sound to watch and hear those kids play every morning. They start the day smiling! As for the rousing Bertha every morning - many don't get it - I also teach a literary theory class and pass out "poems" by Robert Hunter for them to analyze and have yet to have a student say, "hey this is a dead song." While I think it would be great - it's something they have to come to on their own ( my son is 18 and I took him to Buffalo and Rothbury - Have a true convert - awesome!). Not many out there who really live for the music instead of the party (not that the party ins't great - but make the show ya know). There's a reason only 1% of the poulation get it! To tell you the truth, i'm glad it isn't more and even happier that I am one of 1%!! Truly, WEIR EVERYWHERE!!!

mary provided a similar link to this vid, which is really important: for the sake of convenience, I am repeating it here and putting in the full version PLEASE watch and please remember your rights: it is important to note that concert / festival venues and the like are private property, so the private security staff has the right to search you BEFORE you go in, but not after you are inside. You CAN refuse a private security search by leaving the venue. better to miss half a show and go home than miss the rest of the tour by ending up insidde jail. peace.

When I was in the States, I was reading the newspaper articles about parents objecting to Obama speaking to schoolchildren. What is wrong with this plan? Even if parents agree with Obama's political agenda, is it not a perfect platform for home discussion? It is incomprehensible to me that there are parents over there who would not want their children to hear what their president has to say.********************************** Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

Good morning Tiger Lilly from deep in the heart of the USA, in red state Kansas. In November of 2008, US voters gave a majority of votes to Barack Obama indicating acceptance of a need for change here in America. Finally, a return to honesty, a cleaner environment, alternative energy prospects and access to health care for all! A very noble and ambitious agenda, indeed.As you've seen and heard, there is a voice of discontent bent on disabling President Obama's agenda to bring about change. Rather than working with the Democratic majority in Congress, the Republicans have chosen not to cooperate, nor contribute, to any successful endeavor. At risk are millions of people without health insurance, including my 2 young adult sons and their lady friends. Fueling this obstruction is a right-wing attack machine using the various media to discredit and weave fabrications to derail any effort to bring progress to this country. Too many people listen to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Pat Robertson and Glenn Beck. These few have been able to bring disrespect and discord, daily, to the American public, many of whom actually indicate belief that Obama may be forcing some evil socialist agenda upon us. It's very discouraging to see this negativity receiving so much attention, rather than focusing on the real needs of the American people. It is therefore difficult for the Obama administration to rise above this wave of negativity and to maintain a positive structured approach to bringing about any change. Next year we'll have a congressional election where new candidates will be elected and, hopefully, many of the non-productive obstructionists will be booted out!

Just now saw my jet-lagged typo. Meant to type " even if parents DISaggree". Thanks Ted! I certainly heard plenty of illogical disrespect while I was over there! For example it is impossible that Obama has "ruined" the country in his 9 months in office-and I heard that statement a couple of times. Am I utterly naive, or are not facts and information required to be able to form an opinion? ********************************** Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

I'm not sure that's the right way to describe it. Perhaps overly optimistic? Facts and information are only required to form an informed opinion. There are no rules prohibiting uninformed opinions or their dissemination. It is up to each individual to bother to inform themselves. And that's probably for the best in the end. I certainly wouldn't want to be subjected to a regime where only "official" opinions were allowed. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

While I admire Barak Obama for his great skill in oratory (certainly the best speech maker since Lincoln), I think it would be unfortunate to see him as some kind of savior. Yes, yes and yes he is moving forward in some important areas such as health care but when crunch time came on the economy he chose to bail out AIG and investment banks 100 cents on the dollar rather than to cut some type of deal. 32 billion will be paid out to executives in the largest banks for bonuses this year. He has sent more than 20,000 more troops to Afghanistan where there is no clear route to "victory". Iraq remains problematic. This year is the dealiest for US forces of the entire war. It is clearly business as usual for our country with a few flourishes in such areas as health care and the green economy. It is indeed unfortunate to see how the great unwashed and eneducated masses can be whipped up into a foaming-at-the-mouth hysteria regarding all things Barak by these moping maggots of mendacity, but it is only economic fear and racism that is driving them. ~ The rich man in his summer home saying just leave well enough alone ~

but he was duly elected by a majority of the people, as close as the election actually was. i am concerned how ever about what appears on the surface. apparently the government now controls most banking, most of the auto industry and soon, possibly, health care. i am all for comprehensive health for all citizens but at what price?...i'm still adhering to my "wait and see" philosophy, hoping taxes won't be raised...i can't afford it.

Are we just delaying the inevitable? Has the beast gotten out of control? How long can a system based on mass consumption at the expense of the environment we depend on and were given for free go on? As long as people hate each other we'll be in a world of hurt. Do you believe in miracles? Everything's gonna be all-right,someday.
