Ah, seventh grade. I would've thought you were in eighth by now.

Hell if I know. The history of Amazon was never something I took much time to stay prevalent on.
Still farther than you got.
True, but I quit at 11, you're still in it grandpa.
Just a bit more determined than you.
Well hang in there then, you'll make it to high school yet!
I confronted the challenges life handed me and succeeded well enough not to need to run away and hide out in South America .
I'm in South America for sure. Orlando, FL at the moment.
Which simply confirms what many of us have long suspected. Your body never left the states and your travelogue never left your head.
You wish. Had trouble getting a standby flight on Delta out of Bogota. After three days bought a confirmed ticket from Bogota to Cartagena yesterday. There I got a pretty good deal on Spirit to Orlando. And then this morning flew standby on Southwest to KC. With the Express discount the Southwest flight cost $42.56 plus a $24 service fee. And no trouble at all getting onboard. Which is what makes it possible to do the traveling. There aren't too many perks being a FedEx retiree anymore but the airline discount is worth it's weight in gold. And as of last year retirees get the same discounts that still working employees get. Which about tripled the available airlines.

You are welcome to past the same comments as many times as you want and it still isn't going to make anybody believe them.
You were never an Express employee so I guess you just don't know what's available to our retirees. And for some reason you seem to hate the idea of going overseas to make the most of limited income. Older Americans put a lot of emphasis on "keeping up with the Joneses". They feel superior to those with less income than they have. All that goes out the window if a person with less income than you can do better lifestyle wise if he's willing to go overseas, and you aren't. I think that grates on you. But it's neither better or worse IMO, it's just different. I do know if we stay in the States we'll never have a decent retirement on our income.

Did you used to drive a former rental truck as transportation and wear glasses. If so, I might remember you from one of your past stations. It would also explain a lot.
Not me. Do you have an issue with using one of the very few benefits FedEx retirees get?

Good lord.
Not my favorite airline either. But cheap enough.

It's hard for me to patronize those cheapskate businesses. There's a fine line between "we're no frills" and "we sweat every last cent" and Spirit strikes me as more of the latter. There are some local convenience stores that charge a small fee to use a debit card for a transaction of less than $3 or $5 or whatever it is. Won't shop there even when I wouldn't have to pay the fee. Pet peeve.
