Bon voyage avec la compagnie Lufthansa. Je crois que vous voyagerais avec l'Airbus 340 entre PHL et FRA, parce qu'ils portent le 747 seulement a JFK, EWR, IAD, MIA, ATL (quelquefois), ORD (quelquefois), SFO et LAX. Les attendents de bord de Deutsche-LH peuvent etre comment les "carabinieri" du ciel , especialment dans la classe economique. Ils n'aiment pas mes carry-ons un petit peu plus grands des reglements, mais les autres compagnies sont plus agreable sur les dimensions de mon valise du cabin. Je prefere Alitalia et Air France plus que Lufthansa. (Avec mon billet gratuit de Skymiles, j'irai a l'Italie le mois prochaine avec Air France sur un 747 et je retournerai en Aout avec Alitalia sur un 777). Vous savez, les personnes d'Italie et de la France sont plus drole, n'est-ce pas? I don't think I would make a very good German, B ! :AH-HA_wink:

Do you possibly have a deviated septum? If the nasal passages aren't structured/sized correctly, it's my understanding that it also impedes flow of air/mucosa in and out of the sinus passages. I am plugged up all the time and I have to blow my nose fiercely to seem to clear it up. Between that, Claritin and the Vicks inhaler stick I carry in my briefcase, I manage. Chiropractor? Hmmm. I did a chiropractor thread a while back for the sprain I endured falling off an air mattress into frigid Lake Tahoe and jerking while hitting the water. The sprain went away so gradually, even with the treatments, that it was impossible to see if it was time or the treatments that mitigated it. After the pain had subsided completely, he still wanted me to come in for adjustments. I declined. I don't see how that could have helped, as I feel completely ok. I would have just parted with money. But you can do what you want.

Claro, despues de esciberlo, yo pensava la misma cosa!

Learn Italian, at least, Goddamnit!

My response to thread: feathered hair

Ocn, babe, listen, if we can't even speak some Espanol on a Cinco de Mayo thread, for God's sake, then you can kiss my culo. :AH-HA_wink:

They currently sell quite a few. Like I posted earlier, at 25,000 units a month, that's 300,000 a year. As dismal as some other GM cars have been, that's pretty damn good.I like the car ok, having rented a few. It's a little non-descript but very competent. Even though it's a W, it just feels like a whole different car class than does the LaX/Allure or the GP. Go figure.

Propria en esto momento una persona con un PhD en Espanol que conosco pasava cerca de mi en la biblioteca de la universidad! El me dice que no necesita poner las capitales en las dias de la semana y tampoco en los meses del ano. (don't know on the keyboard where to find the tilde)!

What does/did she look like IN PERSON? I've seen recent pictures as you go through the check-out at the supermarket...

Nice save, Landis ! :AH-HA_wink:

Ok, it was the early 90s or thereabouts. But at least I had the "lay of the land," right? I knew the general neighborhoods and the general directions. And, I just got off the Houston MLS for real estate listings. $ 250,000 still buys you a respectable house in the suburbs...in Los Angeles, that gets you N-O-T-H-I-N-G. For me, the price of real estate is reasonable. Yes, I was aware of the Memorial Parkway area but have actually been to River Oaks. I liked it...hands down over Dallas!

I don't remember it that well.There was a main street that looked historical. Parking was easy to find. The sand was not the greatest (kind of dark) and the Gulf of Mexico looked a little murky...certainly not like Florida. What I do remember is that it was November 1 (!) and I came home with a tan.

You kept the condo to escape the summer heat...oh, that's funny now...frying pan into the fire as a water moccasin bites your ass. That's where my friend lived - Dairy Ashford off I-10 toward Westheimer. He used to work for Exxon in an MBA-type job. I had to go to training for 2 weeks in Dallas (Las Colinas at Irving) and rented a car to go down there for the weekend in between the 2 weeks of training. I wanted out of Dallas real bad to get away from the dorky people at the seminar with me. I love that name: Westheimer... ...there's only ONE...Calling Dr. Ruth...Calling Dr. Ruth.

Not I, but Ninety Eight Regency and a few others are Houstonians. However, of the large Texan cities, it is clearly my favorite. Be sure to go to Galveston on the Gulf and see the historic downtown and the Seawall to prevent another hurricane surge. Downtown has some neat architecture. The Montrose is the funky alternative district. River Oaks features the mansions of the monied elite. Westheimer Blvd. and the Galleria are big time shopping and offices. Rice University is a Southern Ivy type school with some nice restaurants nearby. And, there are gorgeous homes everywhere for ridiculously low prices compared to the coasts. And I like it way more than Dallas (where's P-C-S? ) because it's a lot pinier and closer to water, even though the beaches aren't particularly beautiful. Can you make a side trip to South Padre Island while there or extend your visit? It's supposed to be nice.

Ditto, a lot of times, though, when you express a preference, they cannot guarantee the actual model.Having "test sat" the Acadia while in for service on my own car, I would have to say that it would be a strong contender if I was in the market for that segment/type. It felt "right," for whatever that's worth.

Which part doesn't seem Catholic? It's their (and my) belief that "water seeks its own level" for a serious life decision. It says nothing about foregoing being charitable or decent or humble toward general humankind. Latin Mass? Tu sei matto!

As long as those "starter marriages" produced no kids...That is the ultimate "deal breaker." No child produced by another man that is still around and alive will EVER sit at my breakfast table. No 'effin way...that's someone else's baggage. I am showing my conservative Italian Catholic upbringing where my parents drummed into our heads that "people who are single and educated and above average in attractiveness should never have to accept a divorce situation with kids at their first walk down the aisle" and that was tantamount to being disinherited (just kidding on the last part). Whenever a friend of mine who had never been married, had a degree, had a job and was reasonably attractive married someone with kids their first time through when there were other single people around to choose from, my parents would go off "Italian style" at the dinner table. I guess I've absorbed their beliefs on that one...
