AK air charges 20 bucks per bag, I found a first class upgrade on CL for 50 bucks and voila. 1st class, nice meal, more legroom, FREE DRINKS, and 2 free checked bags.
Nice, but what kind of time frame are we talking about here to be looking for upgrades?

If you're typing a long post on 2+2 and then accidently go to another page, don't worry

Hit backspace, and do 'undo' (ctrl+z) in the text box. Your writing should re-appear.

Ive done this a total of 4 times now. As soon as you find an upgrade you can call and reserve a first class seat. The longest in advance Ive done it is 2 months. The soonest Ive done it is day before flight as long as there is room on the plane. The most common upgrade you will find, at least on Alaska, is the yearly coupon they send to employees and gold members. These expire on Dec 31 each year so towards the end of the year there are lots of them on CL.

This one is great if you find yourself in Golden CO for an extended period of time. If you go to the Coors Brewery you can ask for the 'short tour' and they will give you the wristband good for 3 free beers and allow you to bypass the tour and go straight to the tasting room. Was at School of Mines for a week and this was a fun daily excursion.

The pro-vaccine camp clearly does a ton of research. If you're going to blindly get injected with something, try heroin.

if you have a grinder with a bottom chamber for keef, put a nickel in the middle chamber and shake it around when grinding. it'll get considerably more keef to filter through to the bottom

I think he's suggesting that if we ever are being held against our will by a man with a needle, we better hope it's heroin.

It's more like a refundable deposit. The carts are linked together by some contraption. To get one, you insert a quarter or loonie or whatever, and it releases the cart for your use. When you return the cart, you connect it to the thing and it gives you back your coin. I guess it's to encourage people to return the carts instead of leaving them strewn about the parking lot.

Most places don't have it. I think I've only seen them at No Frills, a budget grocery store.

Loading a dishwasher through out the week, Start at the back, it only gets easier from there (note to wife) I have a bad back and having to reach way back, over other plates is a pain in the ass. I don't load, she complains= no sexy time.

Laundry: have multi-loads to do. Start with regular clothes so you can iron them while your towels and BS are drying. Or start with towels if you don't have time, then u can let them sit while you are out as wrinkled towels are still towels.

Clean your bathroom naked then hop in the shower and finish the job, and clean the shower.

Baby wipes for the ass = happy ass! also please see rimjob thread

Two words - boxed wine. Some really good ones these days, no waste. $ 12 words.:-(

Put rubber backed floor rug/mat on front wind shield of truck night before frost or snow.Can scrape the side windows but the front is a bitch. Jug of water starts out the process well also. Cold is ok.

Request lemon/lime wedges for your drink "on the side" as they NEVER wash these.

Write the due date of various bills on the Front of the envelope as you open them.

Always have a CAR book.

In some place kids/poor people will offer to return your cart for you. You get to avoid the hassle, they get the quarter. Everyone wins! (Not sure I've seen any of these in MA)

I you don't mind your clothes having a shorter lifespan that results from washing and drying on Hot.

Even better tip: Train gf to wash your clothes.

Solid.


If anyone in a position of authority who is questioning you tells you you don't need a lawyer, you need a lawyer. If anyone tells you that bringing a lawyer in would cause a confrontational atmosphere that would harm your case, GET A LAWYER IMMEDIATELY. Also train your kids from a young age to know this.
