The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

So, I inherited 5 beers from SonIL like the one pictured below. He picked up a six pack last week and didn’t like it. I like it, but, I’ve never been one not to like a good, hoppy IPA…and it’s 8.2% ABV…!!!!!

It's the new Mickey Mouse cartoon style. They're cute.

This is my favorite...

I watched a few of them on the internet several years ago when they first came out, and can appreciate them for what they are, but, if I haven’t warmed up to that animation style since I first saw it on CN about 27 years ago, I really doubt it’ll ever happen…!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

I saw one when I had to run into one a couple of weeks ago

We have a huge Walmart about 5 mins. away, but, I haven’t been there in at least 3 years…

 

[donaldtoo]

i’m a big fan of peas and pea soup!

Yep, me too, especially split pea soup with ham…!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm wondering if it's regional as I don't have a problem getting them up here

Haven’t heard of any recent pea supply issues here…
But, then again, I’m not in a grocery store nearly as often as you are…!!!!!

Yep, as I posted, I’ll reserve final judgement ‘til I ride it in person, hopefully sometime in the not-too-distant future, as video just isn’t doin’ it for me.
Probably doesn’t help that I’m not much a fan of the newer Cartoon Network-like, Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff Girls, etc.-type animation, either.

It's not worth your time

So essentially, they're now security employees, versus the old greeter job definition. That's too bad.

Actually, I remember them both greeting us and checking our receipt on the way out, even way back when our kiddos were little.

@Figgy1 , @Cesar R M , @StarWarsGirl , did you see the thing with the guy who stopped on the road to rescue a kitten and ended up with 13 of them???

Apparently he rescued them all but only kept 1. Which was very healthy and adorable.

Goofy still screeps the beejesus out of me.

As for individual cartoons.. I loved the Yodleing one.

I must be oblivious because when I was in Walmart in SC back in December, I didn't notice.

Also, the girl at the self checkout let me buy wine without checking my ID and I'm still feeling insulted by it.

I’m almost 60, but, as I posted from our New Mexico trip back in January, my ol’ darn gray self got carded everywhere I bought booze in that state, because of some age discrimination lawsuit a few years ago.
The first time was in this tiny town on our way to Ruidoso. I chuckled when she asked for my ID, ‘cause I thought she was just bein’ silly, and then she said she was serious. She was nice about it, but, it threw me for a loop. Showed my ID, and got my beer. I think it was after about the 3rd (maybe 4th…?) time, I finally asked and was told about the lawsuit.
The last time I remember being carded for real was in my early 30’s. Once I started goin’ pretty gray after that, never again.
Now that I think about it, that was actually kinda’ fun in New Mexico…thank you, New Mexico…!!!!!

OK, so long story…as short as I can make it…!!!!!
I now have an FB account. Carolyn set it up for me.
The main YouTube live streamers we follow had their account removed by YouTube about 2-ish weeks ago, on a Friday. After that he started streaming on FB the following Monday. He appealed, and by his stream on Wednesday, his YouTube account had been fully restored, including all his past content. He still has no clue how he initially got cancelled. Someone at YouTube, a rival, who knows…?!
But, the bonus of the FB account is that I now have access to a ton of photos from everyone.
So, welcome to almost-ten-years-ago 2012 WDW engagement trip pic spam…!!!!!

The first couple are from our trip from town square to the hub on the trolley with the Dapper Dans. Among other songs, they sang happy birthday to Megan, as it was her actual 21st birthday…after that, the rest is pretty selfexplantory…!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Well, 105 ain’t bad…!!!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Tonight's dinner...honey garlic chicken with sauted spring peas and rice.

Made the mistake of showing it to Mom whose response was, "You're making that when we get home!"

 

[Goofyernmost]

Peas -

As I recall you are the same person that likes snow and cold, so your opinion is not to be trusted.

I haven't been to one in SC but here in NC that is what it seems to be. It's subtle indeed, but they do not greet you on the way in. They just stand/sit by the exit door checking the occasional receipt and telling everyone to have a good day.

I'll have to pay more attention when I go there in December. I avoid the ones up here at all cost, but down there, they're okay. Plus my aunt lives in the middle of nowhere and the Walmart supercenter near her is civilization.

I've had that one, and I wouldn't say I loved it and I won't say I hated it.

Yea, it’s not my favorite, but, it was pretty tasty to me…!!!!!

OMG -- do you actually go outside in 105 degree weather?!! (Not to mention, the "real feel" of 112??!!) I was watching the national news last night, and there was a report about this intense heat wave down in your area and across a number of adjacent states. Yikes.
