I ended up with a Bally's membership when my club was purchased by some other club which was purchased by Bally's. Both of them honored my original membership and I pay $47 a year. I am sure they would let me break my contract. I have heard from many other people that they are evil though.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Hee -- sometimes 'ironclad contract' works in your favor, I suppose.
I went to Boskone last night, and even stood around in a noisy crowded party for an hour and enjoyed myself, which usually doesn't happen. Will be heading back there sometime this morning, I suppose....

Damnit, the heat still has not kicked in around here--usually, the boiler's going by 6:00 am, and at the latest noon, but so far, nada. And it's about 9 degrees outside, and getting damn cold inside. Brrrr.
ETA: Sorry, just checked the Tribune's website--it's actually 3 degrees outside. Still Brrrrr...

hola, natter.
after a 13 hour delayed flight, Ileft NYC Friday morn and got to the conference just 20 minutes before it started. Not really enough tim eto get checked in and the booth set up, but we did the best we could and survived.
Was in bed by 8 last night after 6 hours on the floor and a nice dinner in the hotel. Today is 8-6 with an hour for lunch. SO far we have had te provided box lunch, but I am angling for fries and possibly an appetiser or dessert from the grill in the hotel.
tomorrow I return home for massive amounts of sleep.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Choose dessert!
And you've inspired me to try and get rid of some things before I move using freecycle. I must cull the stuff herd before I try to pack it all up.

freecycle is awesome. As is ebay. I just checked my ebay sales and I sold 2 coffee mugs for a total of $39.00. People are crazy. 3 more things end tonight.

I am scared to eBay because I am really really terrible about mailing things in a timely fashion.
Freecycle? People just come and pick things up, yes? Off to check out the Web site to find out.

yes, people come and pick up. You can also see if there is a local craigslist - especially if youhav ethings of value. That way you get money AND they come pick them up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
With craigslist, people come to you AND give you money! Which makes the most sense depends on what you're trying to get rid of.
