Just got an email from Amazon Pharmacy. I guess they want my business. Sorry, Amazon, not sure I trust you with THAT much of my info. -- nm - sycor Dec 17, 13:44 1

huh, Army has a guy projected as a late 1st round, high 2nd round pick. But he may not be able to defer his service anymore. -- (link) - Tim Dec 17, 12:29

one of these teams has 10 wins... -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 10:38 2

It's a little too Shondalandish for my taste, but I'm kinda liking The Recruit on Netflix -- nm - prayformojo Dec 17, 10:37 1

Hmm? Guess I've flown Westjet before. Must have been Toronto - Halifax. May have to fly them again from Vancouver. -- nm - Meg Dec 17, 10:15 5
- A couple of months ago I was surprised to learn that I had also flown Westjet - ty97 Dec 17, 10:18 4
  - I can get a nonstop flight with them for $100 less than a 1-stop with anyone else. -- nm - Meg Dec 17, 10:21 3
    - I think you can earn Delta miles for Westjet too (they have a partnership) if you accrue those. -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 10:23 2
      - I really don't fly enough to make miles worthwhile. Most of my miles come from my American credit card which I use for *everything* and from - Meg Dec 17, 10:32 1

i get that $30 to check a bag on a flight is usury but it seems worth not having to agonize over bin space near your seat to just wait another 20 mins - hollywood big shot Dec 17, 09:55 19
- I'm with you. Also hate dragging my bags through the airport. But I really think they should charge people who carry on rather than checking the - pmb Dec 17, 11:08
- I like checking my bag at the gate. No fee, no wait. -- nm - Max Dec 17, 10:12 2
  - If you are going to check a bag, this is probably the best approach. A lot of the airlines will offer to let you check free at the gate. - ty97 Dec 17, 10:16
  - was just going to say this. our 2 most recent trips they asked repeatedly for people to check their bags at the gate for free -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 10:15
- 20 minutes is best case. I hate the waiting. - ty97 Dec 17, 10:07 4
  - That's why they have you walk miles through the airport maze to baggage claim. Gives them more time to get your bags there. - Meg Dec 17, 10:20
  - (also is it really only $30? For some reason I thought it was higher) -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 10:08 2
    - too busy wasting time trying to find space in the overhead bin i guess -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 17, 10:13 1
      - I tend to board in earlier groups so don't have a problem with space -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 10:15
- Wear 3-4 layers of clothes, save the bag check -- nm - budice Dec 17, 10:06
- we've stopped checking bags period. No waiting like a chump at your destination -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 10:04
- You mean I can spend 30 more and not be sure my bag is getting to my destination? - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:56 7
  - If they lose your bag, do they still keep the money? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 17, 09:57
  - the only time i've had my bag not reach me was on a nonstop, ironically -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 17, 09:57 5
    - As far I can recall, twice my bagged was lost/delayed, perhaps more I am forgetting. - ty97 Dec 17, 10:14 3
      - twice out of 9,999 flights? that's pretty good! -- nm - mud Dec 17, 10:19 2
        
        Ha! I'm under 1100 flights (and that includes connections, so fewer itineraries!). But I have rarely checked for years. - ty97 Dec 17, 10:21 1

- It's 3 pinned gifts for the first scatterbug of each type/region. - ty97 Dec 17, 08:40 5
  - So pin/open 1 gift, then jump out. Wait 20 seconds to see if badge pops up. If not, pin/open 1 more gift, hop out, wait, repeat. - JaxSean Dec 17, 09:26 3
    - I am so off my game playing, I opened a gift without pinning. oy. — nm -- (edited) - i.b! Dec 17, 11:17
