- Just watched the trailer for AmaLuna. I'd go see that - looks like a signature type of Cirque show. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 14:03 1
  - But I'll also be there with Will, who isn't into this sort of thing. So maybe MJ would be better for him? - kelly Jan 6, 14:14

  - (Hobby to Galveston: 41 miles. IAH to Galveston: 69 miles. And those added 28 are through the hear of Houston) -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 13:43 2
    - Kinda what I thought. Trying to coordinate flights from K.C. and O.C. to arrive at about the same time will be the trick. - Meg Jan 6, 13:46 1
      - Hobby has a very large Southwest presence. Otherwise you'll looking at AA (or Eagle) through DFW. - ty97 Jan 6, 13:55

    - Charge them interest. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 13:11
    - and, they must know it. how many checks went astray because of this? -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 13:10 5
      - December and January rent checks for me. I'm hoping they can get their forwarding issue fixed. - ty97 Jan 6, 13:11 4
        
        but not just you, i guarantee lots of people did that. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 13:13 2
        
        I'm guessing it impacted everyone (or most people?) but what's odd is the note starts with "I have not received your December rent check" - ty97 Jan 6, 13:18 1
        
        They were playing offense to avoid playing defense. Strike back by saying you researched and the mistake is all theirs. -- nm - David Jan 6, 13:52

  - Yeah. 30 minutes a day and fair caloric intake would be decent. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 13:47
