The misuse of the word irony.

When you send a rebate to your house and your parents assume it's garbage mail from staples so they throw it out!

It depends. We did score big with Marco Polo, though.

But he had the right attitude, also.
I am looking to get tickets to Morocco for Pesach. I have 100k BA miles and looking to get the best possible seats without having to spend too much in additional fees and surcharges. I do not care to fly on BA, anything in the alliance should be fine. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

p.s. will be happy to give some compensation to someone who can make this happen.


Round trip:
Non-stop/Maximum stops/Any:Any
From: LGA,EWR,JFK
To: CMN
Departure dates: 3/21,23,24/12  (leaving on 3/23 as long as it is after shabbat)
Return airports: LGA,EWR,JFK
Return dates: 4/3,4,5/12
Class: First/Business/Coach/Any
Seats: 2
Alliance/Airline: British Airways

But if a guy joined two years ago and only has around 20-30 posts, why should we be used?

People enjoy helping others. It part of transforming from a bor to a bi'er.
I think that most of us have gained more than we have given.

To transform one from an empty hole ("empty headed"?) to an "explainer"?

From a pit to a spring. A person in the formative years is like an empty pit that is filled by others. His job in life is to develop into a flowing wellspring that helps others.
Thought this was a known concept.
