I never shopped at Publix when I lived there (too $$$) except
HokieMacDaddy • 06/09/22 10:43 AM ET

No Clue • 06/09/22 09:11 AM ET
I’m one of those people that stands in the aisle as soon as the plane
RoswellGAHokie • 06/09/22 08:43 AM ET
I typically don't unless I have a really tight connection...
vthokieq • 06/09/22 01:37 PM ET
Yup, me too. I fully realize I'm not getting off the plane any sooner
Tafkam Hokie • 06/09/22 11:31 AM ET
Europeans are usually very orderly, but something about them on a plane...
KeoweeHokie • 06/09/22 09:56 AM ET
I always figured people that did that were waiting for the people in front
HokieNoVA • 06/09/22 09:55 AM ET
Same**
MAHokie69 • 06/09/22 08:45 AM ET
yes but your 04, 06 and 10 are paid off!!!**
VT Pez4Life • 06/09/22 08:41 AM ET

HokieMacDaddy • 06/09/22 10:38 AM ET
Cuban sandwiches are pretty good**

USB C and CarPlay are a must for me 👍🏻**
B777Fr8Dog • 06/09/22 08:28 AM ET

UTPr0sim • 06/09/22 07:58 AM ET
Heck, my ideal vacation can vary throughout the year
Tafkam Hokie • 06/09/22 11:35 AM ET

I hate vacations with an itinerary for every hour
pburg_hokie • 06/09/22 08:48 AM ET
ugh - can't stand the idea of doing nothing
HokieMacDaddy • 06/09/22 10:36 AM ET
