Southwest Airlines Alamo Rental Car Fee

To make life a few clicks shorter, I decided to book my air, hotel and car on southwest.com.

At the end of my trip, I return the rental car and make my way home.  When filling out my expense report, I notice a random fee from Alamo DLY FT FEE of $3.00.

Sooo, I get on the phone with Alamo and they explain it’s a charge for using my my Rapid Rewards account number. WHAT?

I paid cash for the rental, so why am I being charged for using a Rapid Rewards number?

Thanks Southwest!

del friscos dallas menu scam?

Love Del Friscos Dallas, but what is the deal with switching the menus when we are about to order?

Four people seated at the table.
Friend A
Friend B
Friend C
Friend D

Friend A, looks at the specials menu on the table. Then he proceeds to ask me why the shell fish special is ~2x the price of what is listed on our menus. I have no idea. Then ask Friends C and D, and their menus reflected the price that was shown on the specials menu.

Our jolly waiter swings by to see if we need anything, we point-out the price difference, he then tells us we have the wrong menus.

Waiter should have done the right thing and given us the shell fish special at our menu price.

We ordered it, it was great, but the menu switch left a bad taste in my mouth.

PS3 has not been found

PS3 Media Server error PS3 has not been found. Is it on?

My mistake was to block the Java

In Windows 7:

Start button – Search box – type Allow and look for Allow a program through Windows Firewall.  Click that, once the next item opens scroll down to Java(TM) Platform SE binary and click the box next to the word Java. Then click on OK.

Restart PS3 Media Server and you should be in business!

Daily Grill Beef Dip

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

This is almost true about Daily Grill located in the Domain (Austin, TX).  We will just focus on the only good thing Daily Grill makes?

This is how the sandwich is displayed on the menu:

Original Beef Dip

Sirloin Sliced Thin, Dipped in Au Jus, on a Sourdough Roll with Hot Mustard Sauce.

I like to change it up a little.  Drop the roll and replace it with toasted sourdough bread.  To make this sandwich come alive I like to add grilled onion and jalapenos.

The grilled onions and jalapenos mixed with the amazing hot mustard make for a sinus clearing, taste bud thrilling, sandwich experience.

One more thing, I’m a fan of GOOD lemonade.  Daily Grill has a strawberry lemonade that everyone should try.

limit posts per page wordpress

This took a few minutes but was an easy fix.

Wanted to limit the number of posts on a WordPress page to 5.

In your WordPress Dashboard navigate to Settings then Reading.

Your URL should look something like this http://www.failkittah.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php?

Where failkittah is the name of your site.

Once in that page update Blog pages show at most to the number of posts you want to display on each page.

Bueno?
