The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

I hope I'm not speaking out turn, but if you want to give up, I have no objections.

Oh no, your fine, of course! But, thanks!
I just hate bein' so far behind, because I just have a silly feeling about a duty to keep up.
It's my problem, not y'all's...!

What is the connection? I'm not aware of the story.

Apparently, management was at Perkins having, what I'm sure is dinner at 2 am and were therefore not supervising the switch over that got screwed up and caused the accident.

OK, I guess I can see the anger there, but, one would have to assume that it would have been done any differently had they been there. I can't see anyone of low stature taking that kind of risk unless it had been the way they have been habitually doing it all along. I don't know, and I'm sure we never will, but, that is the association. In my mind, a pretty loose one. Being anyplace other then at their post would have had the same result so it just as easily could have been McDonalds or Denny's or any of a gazillion other restaurants in the area. If management trusted their staff to do it the way they had been trained, it really shouldn't have mattered if they were actually not micro-managing at the time. In other words, in my opinion, Perkins had absolutely no connection other then a place were people probably shouldn't have been.

Thanks for explaining. When do you go to the specialist? Not trying to pry. But I was hoping you got some more info.

Then, where are you doing it?

 

[Cesar R M]

see @figmentfan423 ? busted!!

 

[Cesar R M]

Hmmm...maybe we should create a thread just to tag @figmentfan423

perhaps, but that could be a bit to targeted towards @figmentfan423 . She might get stressed at seeing thousands of thousands of tags.

Me on the phone with AT&T customer service...

I know that feel.
This "new" cable internet company is getting worse by the minute. Its getting to horrible levels never seen (even taking Comcast into the equation) before.
Not even the technicians can fix the issues they found, because they have to "call" the general customer support.. hope that the call dude isnt a dbag.. and transfer the call to the local area AND THEN and ONLY THEN they get a "we cannot do that, they need to pay XXXX plan upgrade for some dubious reason only we know"

 

[Cesar R M]

No, I didn't know that. I fell in love with Charlton Heston in that movie.

I dont think the new one ever reached the epicness of the Charles's version.
even if the actor was a gunnut... he did good movies.

Reminds me how the newest "epic" movies are almost always overdone, over the top with scifi-esque bull style action.. and then they tank in the box office horribly.

I wondered how long, before it hit here. I don't think Colorado can support the kind of mosquito's that carry the virus. Lot's of bugs can't live at this altitude. Unless they mutate.

Im not sure if its true or not, but I read in a magazine that mosquitos can actually take up to -40 Celsius..
so there can be mosquitos almost all the way to the north pole..of course, it all depends on the food they have.

Oh brother, what next? Not digging this latest cutback . . .

They have the QS in France, Norway and now Mexico, though I'm not impressed with Mexico's offerings, not my thing. But that is wonderful for those entering the park from the WS turnstiles. It is a long truck to grab something quick to any of those places and then double back to the WS.

I'm sure some if it has to do with Mexico and Norway now operating from opening to close however I'd still like to see the places spread out a bit more to cover both entry points. Wonder what made them think this is was a good idea 'cause you can't get near Starbucks in the earlier morning hours.

I still love the old cars. As I've said before sister, older than me, had an Oldsmobile 98, convertible. That was a fun fast car....we could get it up to 95 mph in no time. Foolish and lucky kids we were. This was on a two lane road.

My folks were Oldsmobile people. Every last one was white. Shortly after we moved from the City and into the suburbs my Dad bought a boat of a car-Delmont 88. The front end was pointy and you could have put a family of 8 in the trunk. Years and years later I learned to drive on that boat of car. You stepped on the gas and *poof* you were up to 60 on the ramp to the expressway. In high school I drove a chunk of the way to Florida in that car even though we then had an Oldsmobile sedan of some sort. My Dad said the older one handled better. My folks only had that one a very short while, it was part of a class action suit. My folks ordered a bigger speific engine and instead they were putting standard chevy engines into the cars. They unloaded it and bought a 98. Now that was an awesome car. Fast, comfy, upgrades galore. They also bought a Cutlass Supreme in my fathers mid life crisis era lol. Both of them hated the car and argued over who had to drive the car with bucket seats low to the ground. My Dad gave it to my son on his 16th birthday and he had that car for another 10 years. It was

And the doorbell rang and my DD latest purchase has arrived. Thought of @Wrangler-Rick

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I missed you! Welcome back!! Can't wait to hear about all your fun adventures!!!! (I assume you're home now, sleeping, but when you get up--start the TR. Please?! )

Another trip over. Heavy sigh.


When do we get the pictures?

I have yet to finish @ajrwdwgirl last trip report

Thanks! I will be starting a trip report sometime this week. I have to load pictures on the computer and I feel too wiped out to do that today. I slept a fair amount on the plane but I am still tired. My brother in law just dropped off my dog as they were taking care of her while we were gone, as a thanks to him for bringing her here I made him dinner with homemade spaghetti sauce. So pretty soon it will be me and the dog cuddling and maybe doing some photo editing. So Gabe you should have time to finish my last report!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I personally think they should have just planned SWL at DHS and left DL alone. Although I never went over into the petting zoo area. Too much else to do at DL.

I think the Star Wars stuff should have been put in DCA. I didn't spend a lot of time at Big thunder Ranch, but it added some pizzazz to Frontierland. Frontierland at Disneyland is so sparse on attractions, and was before the ranch closed. Oh and the ranch had good BBQ too.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

The arm chairing may not be enough. We're already discussing a family Europe trip for next summer.
World Showcase is awesome and all, but, I'm pretty sure there's nothin' like the real thing...!

You know, if you go to Europe you can always check out Disneyland Paris.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

My computer is going wack-a-doodle tonight. I hate that.

Got to wait a while yet, my appointment isn't until mid September. They are in no rush and neither am I.

so there can be mosquitos almost all the way to the north pole..of course, it all depends on the food they have.

They may be able to survive it, but, they are going to be quite inactive during that period and really they have a very limited life span anyway. If they shipped them all up to the coldest spot on earth they could end the problem once and for all.

 

[Goofyernmost]

Well, folks I must be checking out for a week or so. I'll check in a couple of times this evening, but, I must get organized and packed for my road trip to Vermont tomorrow morning. All I will have is my phone and even though I can post with it, it is way to small to use very often, so the upside is that you won't hear me telling people to get off my lawn for a few days.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

P.S. I will more then likely not be taking any pictures either. I'm just that lazy!
