Former Bengals coach released from hospital with new heart -- (link*) - budice Sep 23, 07:18
guys, on the next board I'd like to talk about my attic. -- nm - university of amanda jones Sep 23, 07:17 2
- is there a mysterious box in it? -- nm - decline Sep 23, 07:20 1
  - don't open it!!! -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:21
"James Patterson has decided that his upcoming novel, "The Murder of Stephen King," wasn't a good idea after all." -- (edited) - ML Sep 23, 07:15 2
- is it his ? or another of his "James Patterson with some writing student who will make next to nothing of this book" -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:16

Bill Belichick reminds Patriots to pretend they’re excited when Tom Brady gets back - budice Sep 23, 07:09 9

    - that TD dash was alternatively exhilarating and terrifying. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:19
    - Garopolo is gone for a nice return though I'd wager. His cheap contract is up next year; so now they get a good cheap backup for 3 more years -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:16
  - this always starts my internal argument on whether Brady is truly an elite level QB, or just a great QB who is a system which makes him elite? - tRuMaN Sep 23, 07:14 3
    - I could have won that game. Houston had like 2 fumbles in their own red zone and their Offense was like a bunch of 10 year olds -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:15 2
      - their Special Teams play was more like Special Ed. -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 07:20

  - I can't even. -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 07:12
Conservative radio host Erick Erickson, who has been #nevertrump loudly, has endorsed Evan McMullin for President -- (link) - ty97 Sep 23, 07:07 2

- drinking diet soda (or just soda in general) -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 23, 07:17

- self-destructive behavior -- nm - decline Sep 23, 07:05
- [deleted]

  - yeah, this. -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 07:00
Was the Designated Survivor pilot any good? -- nm - ML Sep 23, 06:57 6
- decent if generic. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:06 3
  - so (spoils) - ML Sep 23, 07:07 2
    - pretty much. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:17 1

      - are you super booked, or are you going to have a chance to drive around, get a feel for neighbourhoods, etc? -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 07:00 5
        
        The houses we are looking at are all within a few zip codes so we will be getting a good idea while checking them out, hopefully. - kelly Sep 23, 07:12 1

so, spamlet. I actually got a response from Korean Air - oblique Sep 23, 06:41 28
- *reroutes you through New Jersey* -- nm - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 06:54
- I was afraid of that because that routing makes zero sense otherwise. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 06:52 3
  - It should be fine. the "open jaw" in Orlando isn't a big deal at all. Probably easier for us than doing the jaw in Hawaii (like the blog post did) - oblique Sep 23, 06:57 2
    - Oh, so doing something like landing in Orlando and flying out of Tampa? -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 06:59 1
      - JAX/Orlando, but yeah. If we go from HNL->JAX and then fly Orlando->ORD, I think that satisfies the open jaw portion - oblique Sep 23, 07:04
- I must have missed the original on this and I am now very confused - ty97 Sep 23, 06:43 22
  - It's one of those partner redemptions that's super cheap and transferable from UR. -- (link*) - spamlet Sep 23, 06:54 6
    - huh. I have Sapphire points but have been saving them up to transfer to UA and maybe use in Singapore F class -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 06:55 5
      - The Sapphire Reserve made the cover of BusinessWeek this week. Chase has a pretty incredible marketing department. - spamlet Sep 23, 06:58 4
        
        I figured the IM was coming. Need to figure out how many points I have to transfer - ty97 Sep 23, 07:00 3
        
        I just wish they did it a few weeks ago. I'm staying farther out from the office to be at a Marriott rather than Le Meridian. - spamlet Sep 23, 07:01 2
        
        Whoa, I have 31K Starwood? Wow -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 07:02 1
        
        I need to discuss with wife about getting the AMEX before it goes away. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 07:17
  - This is part of my master plan to go to Hawaii with the family on points - oblique Sep 23, 06:45 6
    - Can you do ORD --> HNL (time) HNL --> JAX and then just buy JAX-ORD? - ty97 Sep 23, 06:49 5
      - Yes. We have a variety of options if we have to but the KA redemption is super flexible so I think we can make it all work -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 06:56 4
        
        (pulls a Dawson). KA is DragonAir. Korean is KE. - ty97 Sep 23, 06:58 3
        
        this whole process is quite mind-boggling to me -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 06:59 2
        
        I actually suck at all this award stuff because I so rarely use my miles - ty97 Sep 23, 07:09 1
        
        heh, there is a scene in Corner Gas where a character says "we can use my points card as I collect points" - Beaker Sep 23, 07:14
  - because he loves bulgogi -- nm - decline Sep 23, 06:45

        Honolulu. We're going to stay at the Disney resort there -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 06:55
        
        HNL (See Hawaii above) -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 06:50
    - extra miles -- nm - decline Sep 23, 06:45 1

    - [deleted]
    - :( This one hurts! -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 06:43 1
