This collapsible cooler fits very nicely into a small carry-on or checked bag. This also expands very nicely to fit several sammiches and function as an acceptable carry-on piece of "luggage."OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Congrats Cathy! You'll have a blast!

Are you going to provide me with this collapsible cooler?

Re: I won the Talbots essay contest!
Thanks, DA. I know I can squeeze $5K worth of merchandise out of a $500 gift card at the outlet. I wish I had a Talbots outlet nearby. The closest one is 4 hours away, but with this card, it will be worth the trip.DevilAlumna wrote:Cathy, how exciting - congrats!

Oh, , it's always worth the trip to see you. But honestly, do you really look forward to sitting through 4 hours at Talbots while I try on clothes?cl15876 wrote:Ahemm.... ;)CathyCA wrote:Thanks, DA.

Re: I won the Talbots essay contest!
Congratulations, Cathy! Great essay. And isn't it nice to score some more off the ExLax?
Question - if you get the trip and $5K for being a potential grand prize winner, what do you get when you become the grand prize winner? Will that get a trip for the CTN Hunks?

Your essay rocks, Cathy! You have a great attitude about what was clearly not a great situation/experience.
Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
