Do you think 37min is enough time to catch the connecting flight at JFK. So far both planes are in terminal 3. I will be arriving from LAX on Delta. - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 12, 10:34 8
- If I do miss the connecting flight, does the airline only rebook me for another Delta flight or any carrier? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 12, 10:42 5
  - from my experience they try the same carrier first - marcel Apr 12, 10:46
  - you should be able to get a later connector if they have seats available, which is the trick - pigby Apr 12, 10:46 3
    - They do have a much later connector. And there are also 2 jetblue flights. So say the delta one is full, do you place me on the jetblue? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 12, 10:47 2
      - it may depend on if they are a Delta affiliate -- nm - pigby Apr 12, 10:48 1

        Thx :) Just wanted to make sure you saw it. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:47
        
        Not in the alliance either? Then you really need to build your walls and your hideouts. - Krusty Apr 12, 09:46 2
        
        and beef up the military, big time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 10:12
        
        ditto I've really slowed down my people growth to catch up in infrastructure -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 09:54
- i'm at level 12 so i'd guess yes -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 12, 09:37
- A lot faster than me. - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 09:33 2
  - they need not be mutually exclusive. I'ave had thre colonies for quite awhiel. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 10:18
  - I only have a marble and wine colony other than my main sulfer one. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:34
- Yes to me. I'm only at 9. -- nm - lileve Apr 12, 09:31 12
  - 9 as in town size. What do you mean by level? -- nm - lileve Apr 12, 09:31 11
    - Level of the primary town. But my military score is low still. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:33 10
      - That's pretty quick but by not having much of a military growing quickly is easier. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 09:38 9
        
        100 phalanx and 50 archers in my town. Do I need more? -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:41 6
        
        Not in that town, but try and spread things out a bit. - Krusty Apr 12, 09:47 5
        
        yup, spied out 3 cities and all his D was in one, not even a barracks or a port in the others. -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 09:55 4
        
        Looks like someone has some bulding to do. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 10:08 3
        
        he has a massive stock of goods, every city going full blast and donating nothing...mooching SOB. I plan to hit him again as soon as I finish - Beaker Apr 12, 10:32 2
        
        Very nice! I wish I could find someone like that. Have fun storming the castle! -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 10:37 1
        
        my necl of the woods is crazy. Huge Inactives all over the place. -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 10:39
        
        but also paints a big bullseye on yourself. -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 09:40 1
        
        Very much so. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 09:52
Wow, a simple Google search found. http://portuguesewaterdog.rescueme.org/ OMG I could be on the President's Staff. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:18 27
- that's what she said -- nm - dogbert183 Apr 12, 10:15
- This just has a listing of shelters and there's a subsite for every breed you can name. There's nothing saying there are actually any of those dogs - Reagen Apr 12, 09:22
- are you just really so bored that you have to make an issue of this? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 12, 09:19 24
  - I am really bored. All my ships are out, and I have 3 buildings going. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:21 23
    - Also come on. If George Bush does the same, this bored rips him a new ass. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:22 22
      - Probably cuz he'd ship the dog off to Iraq to be a bomb-sniffer. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 09:23 4
        
        silly, Dick Cheney would shoot it and serve it for dinner with roasted baby seals on the side. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 09:25 3
        
        Everyone knows you don't roast the baby seals. You flash-fry them. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 09:26 2
        
        reading this will make Heidi Klum sad .. -- nm - marcel Apr 12, 09:28 1
        
        *offers up a shoulder to cry on* -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:29
      - pretty sure no one gave a carp about the presdient getting a dog. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 12, 09:23 14
        
        If George Bush says, "We want a shelter dog, a mutt like me" Then does the exact opposite, this board would rip him. - Redmond Apr 12, 09:27 13
        
        sure, but finding a true hyopallergenic dog at a shelter - tRuMaN Apr 12, 09:30
        
        First - it's been explained to you why it's not possible. Second - saying "you guys would have done this" is ultra-lame and makes you look like you're - Reagen Apr 12, 09:29 11
        
        This is politics. You reap what you sow. - Stephen Apr 12, 10:08
        
        You guys? I voted for him. I like him. I am just pointing that he should have tried harder to find a true shelter dog. - Redmond Apr 12, 09:32 4
        
        We have no true idea how hard he tried to find a dog. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 09:34 1
        
        And that is the point I made in another post. But if you have a staff the size of his, it's doable. Especially if you made a point of saying specifi -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:35
        
        it -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 09:33 1
        
        's just not possible, dude. You don't think any shleter in the US that had a proven purebred wouldn't have piped up? - Reagen Apr 12, 09:35
        
        Except he's right. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 09:31 4
        
        even if he is (which he's not. let's be serious here), his answer is to be unreasonable in response? - Reagen Apr 12, 09:33 3
        
        *laughing* - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 09:35 2
        
        Dude, I'm chill. I just hate to see a guy flounder like this. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 09:36 1
        
        It's only his first 100 days. He just bit off more than he could chew. - Redmond Apr 12, 09:43
      - Come up with a real argument. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 09:23
      - bored = board -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:22

- i saw that too Grip right? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 12, 09:35 1
  - nope, something on Pro7 - marcel Apr 12, 09:52
- The Citroen really did well...not the results I would have expected. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 09:22 1
  - not all autobahns have no speed limit - marcel Apr 12, 09:27
JJ Abrahms and most of the Bridge Crew and Eric Bana took the new Trek movie to Kuwait so the armed forces could see it today.... - Remlik Apr 12, 09:05 2
- for the last thing ... NO! -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 09:07 1
  - Also, the French were the first to show movies to an audience. -- nm - celedhring Apr 12, 09:27
Will, you fool! That's not filipino, it -- nm - H.Clinton Apr 12, 08:59 7
- Hmm, SFAN *and* SFEK. That's what I get for posting on Jesus's re-birthday. - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 09:01
- I didnt it was, but I couldnt remember what it was. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 12, 09:00 5
  - I put it through tagalog translation and it didn't make any more sense. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 09:01 3
    - I got a translation from one of our mates.....basic request to not rob him anymore. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 09:21 1
      - Tough titties. He got what he deserved having such little defenses. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 09:25
    - yeah I did to. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 12, 09:01
  - didnt think, ugg. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 12, 09:01
So.....on Bedtime Stories....Monsters Inc on Blu-Ray....coming Spring 2009 - Will Hunting Apr 12, 08:59 4
- I'm surprised they aren't putting out one of the older titles on Bluray around the Up release date -- nm - Stewie Apr 12, 09:13 3
  - That's the rumor for when it'll be released now, but they put a huge amt of publicity into the Spring 09 on recent releases. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 09:19 2
    - oh yeah I missed that, and Up is May 29th... - Stewie Apr 12, 09:22 1
      - Oh, I meant the Monsters shift is rumored to Nov for UP's dvd release date. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 09:25
Something I expect from T4: that the original theme is featured in the soundtrack and not any of this "just in the credits" BS. -- nm - celedhring Apr 12, 08:55
Dano, wasn't this dog a gift? -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 08:52 9
- He very specifically said he wanted a shelter dog. I think the specific requirements (hypoallergenic, etc.) made that difficult ultimately. -- nm - Dano Apr 12, 08:54 7
  - I agree with this. Except the dude is the President of the United States. Difficult? -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:03 4
    - what's he gonna do, force someone to put a purebred in a shelter?\ -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 09:07 3
      - Purebreds end up in shelters. A simple blood test can tell you if they are pure. Put out a memo send it to all the shelters, this is what we are - Redmond Apr 12, 09:11 2
        
        If you don't give a sh*t, why are you riled up about it? -- nm - amoxy Apr 12, 09:13 1
        
        This is not me riled up. This is me making a point. To find Riled Up Redmond look on TT 3+ years ago. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 09:16
  - yeah, when I saw that requirement, I knew it wouldn't be a shelter dog. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 09:00
  - it's very difficult to find purebreds at shelters, true. and even when one thinks one might have, their lineage is unknown, which means that can be - mandy lane has lost track of days Apr 12, 08:57
- From Ted Kennedy I think. -- nm - lileve Apr 12, 08:54
