Please.

Just shoot me.
I've been to a few Shula's - good, but I have been to quite a few better steakhouses in the past.

Yes, I have a problems with my ear during my entire trip. It wasn't miserably at all. It was pop inside my ears where I flew from PHX-ATL-BOS-ATL-PHX during my mileage runs trip. I can't hear it very well. I called out my FA who needed my help to do something for me. Also, my hearing aids is not working at all. So I got back to PHX. I have to get new hearing aids. This is only for temporarily.

Yeah, very disappointed for you. You won't have a chance. Sorry!

Wow that makes me feel better, four months is absurd. And I wasn't even downgraded, guess I won't complain no more!

I love this place regardless of what anyone else thinks.

There is fortunately a Dunkin Donuts, a pizza place and a decent Chinese fusion type place within walking distance. The rest of the food options, not so much. (I'm looking at you, Sonic, Whataburger and whatever the greasy Mexican fast food joint nearby is called).

Speaking of food, I might need to make a visit to RA tonight. It's been since Sunday...

To be fair they did give out 2K first... but did you reply back yet about rejecting said compensation. And the letter was not received by AS until Feb 3, so not quite 4 months

The sky is falling. Or at least the Cloud.
Amazon Cloud has been badly screwed up for the past 12 hours, and as sites fail it automatically backs up/rolls over to other of their servers, overloading capacity of the backup servers so they run out of space.

reddit, quora, foursquare, lots of others have been failing.

It is interesting to see which pieces of dirt show up here when the other place is off line. Now, if Cholula posts in the Lounge, we will have someone even older than dirt.
