Take a second, reread it and it may make a little more sense. Regardless, the comments here prove that David was correct in saying many are grumpy this time of year; Get the love back, go out, meet people, and have fun with the rest of this year, and for everyday after for that matter. ~Happy Christmas everyone, Tristan This has gotten a little outta hand, like David said, we all need to look into ourselves, plus it seems as though some were quick to read the post and blurt out what was on their mind.

Or if you're not an idiot, you are either math challenged or are used to working for about $2/hr. The author was making reference to the costs for airline tickets and associated flying times. He was pointing out that for an extra $5 ($265 vs $260), the Santa Claus traveler could have avoided the layovers, flown direct and saved five hours. You on the other hand, claimed you would rather save the $10 and spend the extra five hours of your life on the plane. Please! Are you a turnip? Does your life mean that little to you? Give up two couple cups of coffee and you just five hours of your life back. So I put it to you, are you: 1 - An idiot (i.e. turnip) 2 - Math challenged (can't do the calculations) 3 - Currently work for ~$2/hr? I suspect all three. -Van PS The author also simplified the comparison by the way. With three connections, that's a huge amount of variance thrown into the debate. That's three extra planes, any issues with any of them, such that any could be delayed due to weather, equipment failure, overbooking etc.... The ripple effect of missing the 1st connection could add many hours, even days on top of the travel time. The extra $5 paid to avoid connections is nothing! Compare a direct flight vs a flight with 3 connections, any seasoned traveler would be more than willing to pay a hefty premium to avoid those variables and the potential to be thrown into "air travel hell" a missed connection brings with it. But you didn't consider this did you for the worth of your $10? But then again, turnips are not the most accomplished travelers are they... Andy – you are an idiot.

Do a search through David's blogs for the term "pickup" and you will see how many times he writes about how much he dislikes it! Also, I agree with David .... you sound like your real issue is with yourself... Hey Andy…

A pick up artist I am not. I dont teach men how to prey on women and pick them up with lines so you are obviously someone who does not have a clue to who I am, I am in a relationship...getting married and respect women. I rarely respond to posts that come from left field but your entire post made no sense and you have this angry vibe about you. I was not degrading frugality I was just making a much deeper point that you clearly missed. Whats your issue with yourself? You admit that the fault with this comment lies with you. So instead of some really bad humor at the end why don't you get deeper and see what this really bothered you? Its time you looked in the mirror and asked yourself why did what i wrote bother you so much? Andy

Though, one should expect no differently from a pick-up artist. So, I admit that the fault with this comment really lies with me. Sorry. Keep blogging away or whatever you do now that you're not "single." Say, what are you? "Double"? Surely, you're at least "triple" by now...

We'll see how this goes. Otherwise, on to the next! I got her number too, but as I’m sure many don’t know, getting a phone number rarely means success at the next step. We’ll see how this goes.

I was at a club in Vegas and used the "forget my name and you buy me a drink game". Every time she saw me, we stopped and talked. We were making out by the 3rd time we encountered. Great stuff!
