i did.  i still feel awful.

[Katsushin]

That does sound pretty intense.
There's a great sleazy burger joint near here where you can get deep fried tater tots instead of fries…
They call em tater gems, and they pretty much kick ass

[Chris]

Sonic drive ins are in basically every town in Texas and they sell tater tots (deep fried, of course).  I love that place.

On a related note, anyone who doesn't love fresh hot french fries has a shriveled up raisin for a soul.

Kat, I thought I new damn near every sleazy joint in our area but I don't think I know of said "gems".  Hook a brother up.

Nice, NY is nice that time of the year. A little chilly, but you won't have to worry tooo much about snow

You know what neighborhood you'll be staying in?

I might be in NY for a weekend visiting the folks in March, depending on the week (going to be in Seattle for part of March), let's see if we can meet up

[Simon]

I'm going to spend some time in Manhattan, where I have no idea yet? I'm also going to visit friends for a few days in Crouton on Hudson. A meet up would be good if timings match

frankly it's a rip off . . . they've pretty much cornered the market. i was lucky to get the master collection through the business at a hefty discount otherwise i wouldn't even look at it (could buy the IH master collection for the same money)

there are alternatives - Corel, Xara which are actually better in some areas

[that_was_easy]

My sister was denied entry into the JET program.  Now, I can't visit her there. Bummer.

[Beatle]

nah, I could never convert to Corel or Xara, that would be like giving up IH jeans and walking around in GAP denim

[Beatle]

[madmonday]

they did say GREY was on the way didn't they.

that damn Stubborn Crew

[injunjack]

I'm glad I only dig blue jeans…
