The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

[Gabe1]

Overheard in Walmart* last night:
Little girl (about 4): Okay Mommy, you be Anna. I'll be Elsa.
Mommy: When do I get to be Elsa?
Little Girl: You're the Mommy. You have to be Anna. All my friends' mommies are Anna.
Mommy: Why does the Mommy have to be Anna?
Little Girl: Just, just, just BECAUSE.

Truth be told, I don't want to be Anna either. I'm an Elsa!

* - first time I've been to Walmart in years (Tammy and I were way too early for Cinderella, so we were killing time.) When did they put these ginormous grocery stores in there? Fresh meat and produce and all kinds of stuff. Crazy!

Walmarts here along with Targets about 5 years ago, a race they had right after Christmas that year, both put in mega food areas.

JAWS is on tv right now. I love the original.

I have a friend from school who looks so much like Anna that it's borderline creapy.

Former boss's daughter did the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in WDW and dressed up as Anna.

Other than that, pretty much everyone I know likes Elsa better. Including myself. And my brother. And my nieces.
Apparently, my grandmother gave my youngest niece a singing Elsa doll. My aunt got very sick of hearing Let It Go all day and Elsa mysteriously (and temporarily) disappeared...

Blondes have more fun I guess.

While in Hawaii? Going swimming later?

My nightmares do actually have a lot of sharks in them with me mostly trying to stay out of the water and then falling in. So thanks.

 

[JenniferS]

Okay, imagine me doing the big giant "Wow, I could have had a V-8" thunk upside my head ....

I can't believe that I've forgotten to mention a possible (maybe probable) change in our WDW trip plans this year.
Son #2 wants to come; with the girlfriend! It would mean pushing our trip forward a couple of weeks, as she's in University, and it looks like he'll be returning to school too.
I'm kind of excited. I haven't taken a Newbie to Disney since 2008 when we first took Tammy and her kids.

Anybody think that Free Dining will be on during the last two weeks of August? I love Free Dining!

I find it amusing that some people don't let their different food items on a plate touch. (Believe it or not, I only heard about that preference here in the chit chat section, over the past year or so.)

Just a thought: it all goes to the same place. Reminds me of one of my favorite rhymes:
Over the lips, past the gums, look out tummy, here it comes!

Hahaaa...!
Somethin' my pop has said as far back as I can remember. "Who cares, it all goes to the same place." Although, it doesn't bother me now, my usual response back then was "Yea, but, I don't have taste buds down there."
That always went over like a loud fart in church...

 

[seahawk7]

I love this part.

Mine have a lot of running in them without getting anywhere. Super hard to run in a dream. Which is crap because I am an excellent runner when I'm awake so no murderer or zombie could catch me.

I actually came back from the pool/ocean not that long ago. Right now I have it on in the background as I get ready for dinner. I'm going to a buffet! (Also sad face though... It's my last dinner in hawaii)

Nah, I have see it before and I have been fine. I'm probably one of the younger folks here so I think the effects aren't quite convincing by today's standards.

Oh my, how descriptive ... "a loud fart in church", indeed.

Free dining dates are being released in May I believe.

Makahiki?

 

[Gabe1]

Haha.

Stupid computer, had to hit reply to see the image.

My computer did it too so maybe it isn't the computer.

even when you're sober?

Now now now, be nice.

There are no Blizzards in my future because I went to the doctor today for a check up and I need to lose weight. Less in my mouth and more on my feet.

Oh Dear.

At least it wasn't a week before your trip though. 'the bright side'

That is really nice of you to post that VA benefits link. They can be difficult to navigate.

Thanks. VA anything isn't easy around these parts. They have drive through Med pick-up but not in the Walgreen fashion. Get in line with your car forever till you pull up to the guy in the tent in the parking lot type drive up.

I will try I use a tablet to post and I have a flip phone still. I have trouble with the small screens on the smart phones which both my kids have but I will do my best. I won't forget about you guys!

You need the @JenniferS type of smart phone

This is funny. AAA is still working on our claim for us. My parents wanted me to call my school's security office to find out how long they keep security footage for so that we can prove that the moron got in my car and rolled the window down. So I called my security office and said, "My name is SWG95, I'm a commuter, my car was stuck in the School of Business lot during the snowstorm..." and the security officer says, "Oh, yeah, I remember you. The window was stuck down and then the tow truck broke down. That was quite the comedy of errors!"

Apparently it was memorable for more than just me...

I don't think I'll forget the AAA story.

Does Security still have the footage?

Hubby ordered wings:

I ordered a ton of food. 1/2 rack of ribs, pulled pork, 2 Southern fried chicken *******. I swapped out the usual beans for coleslaw, and had smashed w/gravy.

And another view:

Best mashed potatoes I have ever had. I kid you not. Usually I order sweet potato fries here. Never again.

I ate every forkful (of the potatoes) and may have finger-licked the bowl. (Evidence to follow.)

dear god, that looks delicious!! D:

I'm sorry you have to leave tomorrow but I'm happy you get to eat soon.

Dare I say it?

Spoiler

I kind of feel the same way about the first 3 Star Wars films.

Spoiler

And TOTALLY feel that way about the Kirk/Spock Star Trek.

Flame away. I'm a big girl. I can handle it.
