Who cares about some crummy airline meal, especially on DL (the *worst* US mainline carrier)? I was flying DL from JFK to SFO a few days ago and was feeling very hungry, so I paid $8 for a roast beef sandwich. Crummy is right - my deli around the corner sells a better sandwich for half the price (although I suppose they'd jack up their prices, too, if they could hold their customers hostage for at 30,000 feet for 5.5 hours |

Which is exactly what I would've done if I had time. As it was, I barely had enough time to jump into a cab and pray that Van Wyck is not clogged up. |

Or, if you find yourself stopping over in Houston, you might stop by
Connie Wong's and pick up a basket of sushi, to go, and carry it with you. Be sure not to ask for special treatment (such as cutting it into eight, rather than six pieces) because this request cannot be honored and will only lead to endless flaming, cross posting, and angry letters written to Ms. Wong on one's company stationery. Alternately, you could just wait on board for a cold Coca Cola, and you can pour your peanuts into it. And you can paint your toenails while listening to WSB radio and daydreaming about your technologically-advanced WebTeeVeeTeeHee unit.* (*If anyone can relate to this thread from several YEARS ago, please so indicate in your reply to this post!)

Oh, are you Ellen? ;-) Just fer fun, here are some excerpts from a thread on www.flyertalk.com discussing Sheryl's BiddingforTravel.com website. Pretty amusing - check out the whole thread for mo http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...ML/000470.html "I share the concerns of many others around the moderator's attitude and the way in which the discussions, opinions, and posts are handled. Even when responses from the moderator are helpful, between the lines they scream "how could you be so stupid" or "I don't have time to step you through the 100 self-created hoops to acceptable posting ... so READ THE FAQ .. and oh yeh .. I am closing this thread!" I also had a post "adjusted" without my consent and the forum seems more like an dictatorship then a site where the power is the people who contribute. Recently I answered another users question about international credit cards only to have the thread closed within minutes with a note that this question was covered in the FAQ - implying my comments were not of value and the only voice that matters is the owners of the site". -------------------------------------- "Can someone actually explain what went on with Sheryl over at rec.travel.air? I've seen it brought up several times, but don't know what happened." -------------------------------------- "To make a long story short(er) :-) the moderator of biddingfortravel.com obviously read my post in this topic and emailed me immediately (without identifying themselves) asking me to read my "ezInbox" – which apparently is a new feature of Ezboard – which I have never used. I politely emailed back asking for comments to be sent to me via email – as I haven't used my ezInbox (didn't event know I had one). After a couple more very short, demanding emails asking for my "biddingfortravel.com username", I received, by anyone's standards, a very unprofessional email scolding me for my comments in the earlier post to this topic. The email included unbelievable statements like "… when I work 18 hours a day to help people (TOTAL STRANGERS JUST LIKE YOU) save a tremendous amount of money on their travel for FREE. And this is the slap in the face you give me" and "But I'll tell you one thing, I think your attitude is absolutely disgusting". --------------------------------- "I was on r.t.a pre Sheryl and remember her arrival along with, IIRC, Maryanne Kehoe, as the prominent personalities at one time. It was an abusive and abrasive relationship between them and the majority of r.t.a posters.... It doesn't surprise me that any particular thread would be started as an attack on Sheryl. No quarter was given, none taken. Genteel was never an operative word. LOL. If one wasn't a participant, it was really fairly amusing." ------------------------------------ "The topic is the BFT board and its practices, not sushi or maki. Thank you." / -- Best Greg 8-0 |
