'member? on my travel back from <font color="#005500">tai</font><font color="#ff9900">wan</font> last spring, i missed my southwest aerolines flight from lax to sjc mineta. while i'm in lax, i should <i>try</i> to find that pet accessories store that sells "i (hreat) squirrels" doggy bandanas. it'll be overpri¢ed, but it's cute. <p>[later] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB0009MYS9S%2Fsr%3D1-20%2Fqid%3D1143150642%2Fref%3Dsr_1_20%3F%255Fencoding%3DUTF8%26s%3Delectronics">logitech wireless headphones for mp3</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />? dude, i <i>wish</i>! otherwise, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB000CBX7FM%2Fsr%3D1-40%2Fqid%3D1143150845%2Fref%3Dsr_1_40%3F%255Fencoding%3DUTF8%26s%3Delectronics">bluelake technologies bt450rx bluetooth headphones</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />? yeah, rt... <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F0767908236%2Fref%3Dxs_gb_off_dtl_4_b%3F%255Fencoding%3DUTF8%26v%3Dglance%26n%3D283155"><i>the <font color="#008800">greens</font> cookbook</i> by deborah madison</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />? hey, that's kewl. <font color="#008800">greens</font> in sf's fort mason's an <i>awesome</i> <font color="#008800">vegetarian</font> restaurant! ...altho' a bit expen$ive. <p>ad: <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=hFit*7DqwsE&offerid=95373.479517355&type=10&subid=">EXTRA krups espremio cappuccino/latte/espresso maker $49.98</a><img alt="icon" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=hFit*7DqwsE&bids=95373.479517355&type=10&subid="> <p><font face="small fonts, sansserif" color="#888888" size="-1">free shipping coupon code @ ae.com: 78999192</font> <p>[later] 저녁: well, i'm home now, n' i've gotta get ready to go to the aeroport soon. 4 lunch 2day, i ate a salad from the salad bar @ the werk.com cafeteria.<br><br><br>
