Re: Found in back of my pantry

I agree with DD. SK is serious business. Upon initial perusal of the label, I had not only noticed "European Quality", but "Choice Grade". That means alot!

+1 for Boosted.

It was an accident, and only that.

Re: Interesting Cador

How does requesting a different runway and being granted that request constitute an occurrence? Beats me. However I've been CADORS'ed for doing a simple overshoot due to poor weather. What's with that? Depends on what one's definition of an "occurrence" is. I know a few seniors who would consider a...

Re: Recipical Jumpseat/Standby travel not working!!!!

Unbelievable. I'm not sure what causes me more concern..... Black Cat's "snot nosed 20-something year old, generation me" post that drips with entitlement, or Marquisman's berating a fellow employee.

Perhaps it is you Marquisman that needs an attitude adjustment.

Re: Hope Mr. analyst is wrong again

Tony, I think you're taking things a bit too personally here. If you don't like what he says, don't listen . But for you to advocate that an analyst not give negative commentary is a stretch. It goes both ways, and always will, unless you're suggesting artificial manipulation of the free market. Obv...

I think you're way off base with this one Tony. It's not the job of an analyst to add constructive commentary. It's their job to offer their opinion on a stock/company/sector, good or bad, like it or not. If you don't mind, please show us where he is wrong to the point of exposing himself to possibl...

Re: Radiant Floor Heating

Matt,

I think that by re-pouring only to halfway up the footing, it may not meet code. I'll have to check, but as I recall, the floor height (slab), as a minimum, must be level with the top of the footing.
