It is presumably an exclusively American acronym. I had assumed from the context of the posting that it meant "Desperate Housewife". Which is also an American acronym. And TV show with an "s" at the end. Not to mention it being "housewives" not "housewifes" |

Good to hear that things are going relatively well. We're thinking about taking the motor home down to the Valley over Christmas and New Year. If we do I'll let you know in advance. We will be home by then. If you do come get ready for dinner and a picture show. Leaving Seville tomorrow. Going to Flamenco tonight. Spain is amazing. J |

I just want to pipe up to say that, IMHO, what wine or other
beverages are served free on an airline is not my criteria on whether or not they are cheapskates. To me, it has more to do with... condition + age of the fleet, comfort of the seats, terminal service, and communication. Do well in those areas, and I'm willing to spare a few nickels for a drink. |

There's always someone intelligent coming along to wreck the whole conversation. |
