Thumbs up Limited Time Offer To All Cheapskate Pilots

As you all know, I own a coffee shop which I built pretty much from scratch. Alas, all good things must come to an end. I recently received an offer that I could not refuse and the net effect is the painful decision to close my little shop as of March 31.

Many of you on APC have come to visit me in person and accepted my hospitality. It was a great pleasure to finally put a face to a username. Glad to report that nobody who actually visited got any infractions or 3-day bans from me! And trust me, I have tried to ban HSLD and found that I couldn't do it. The system is rigged!

So what is the point of this thread? It is that if you would like to use your APC discount (meaning free), you don't have a lot of time before all the equipment is sold and I'm out of there and moved on to something else.

Whether you are local or coming in on a layover, better find a way to get over to my place. Just follow the smell of coffee.

I know I was jet lagged, but was I that bad of a guest. BTW, I often try to ban myself and that doesn't work either

I'm open for another 2.5 weeks so still plenty of time for a visit.

This offer came to us quite out of the blue, and it's pushed my personal timeline up by 12 months. I've thought about what I would like to do next; the problem is to pick and choose from a long list of worthy causes and lifelong desires.

My immediate "job" however is to collect the rent money.

Otherwise, I have these thoughts, not in any particular order:

Continue to moderate the forums.
Take up flying again.
Start a non-profit.
Be a do-nothing bum. (I like this one the best!)
Start up my own law firm.
Get another Neapolitan Mastiff.
Join the Peace Corp.
Be Phileas Fogg and travel with Passepartout, I mean, my husband.
Buy and refurbish a 1975 Plymouth Duster.
Take Amtrak around the country.
Hitchhike to MEM and have TC give me a tour of the AOC.
Be a lion tamer.

There's a whole world out there and I am eager to explore everything.

Glad I made it when I did. I'll still visit next time I'm up there.
