Re: Ham roll call?

Re: Renewal times - Fall '16?

I submitted 11/26 bc I was not paying attention to my renewal date. Was hoping for a miracle to get it back before expiration but no such luck. My bad. Today was day one of walking around with no gun. Feels so strange. Judging by this thread it will be a few more weeks.

Re: Whole Foods Markets Posting 30.06 Signs

Well it is disappointing trend. Like others have suggested, there are plenty of great alternatives in the food world. We have joined a CSA for produce that we don't have room for in our garden.

Re: HOW OLD SHOULD A CHILD BE TO HAVE A JOB ?

I was 15 when I first started in 1998. I washed airplanes and swept for exchange of flight time from the FBO manager. When I was 16 and legally allowed to officially work they promoted me to line technician. So for the rest of highschool and a little bit of college I had a blast fueling and towing ...

Re: Incident in Tulsa (would like your opinion)

Good job staying alert and getting on the move. Smart thinking on the cashier's part, too. I would have called in a suspicious person call once in the restaurant. A lot of people up to no good seem to get caught on calls like that. Out of curiosity, what precludes you from carrying while on the tri...

Re: Shots Fired at Bush Intercontinental

All flights to terminal B ground stopped. Update from airtraffic control @ 16:00. I wonder if there is more to the story bc this seems like a bit of an over reaction. Hopefully we will be headed to IAH soon.
