Dan quoted in TBB!

Dan at DansDeals has always participated constructively in the comments of this blog. He wrote this comment below which I think it is right on:

"I'm not going to deny being beholden, it frustrates me as much as anyone else. But that's life in a one income household with kids..
Any blogger making a living from their blog is going to be beholden at some level. It's unfortunate, but that's just life.
If the blogger contributes something of value despite being beholden they'll likely be rewarded by their readers. Simple as that."

I don't get what's so special about it. The guy said he's blogging for just 3 months.

Don't worry. You play the part really well.  Including the part where the yung'uns don't listen to you. :P

I know they do, but the young generation isn't as respectful as ours was.

Unfortunately, our generation wasn't raised by excellent mentors. Yours was.  ;) :P

Andaz pancake obsession! Laughed out loud! Scared those in the cubes around me.

And if you want to see something really entertaining, look at the coupon connection in Dans Deals. I saw someone offer a $250 United cert for $245 cash!

I thought the pancakes reference would trigger some laughs.

I popped in a few times at DD coupon connection and had the same reaction. Tough to get a real deal out of these guys:-)

All stereotypes are there for a reason ;)
Though trading vouchers and miles are actually against DDF rules ever since the airlines started snooping around and matching screen-names to real life names and closing mileage accounts.

Ranking the miles/points forums in order of most useful information on it:

1) FlyerTalk
2) DansDeals Forums
3) MilePoint

But don’t worry Gary, we still love ya’!
