The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

I have been fortunate enough to reach the age where I don't really care one way or the other about my credit numbers. I'm not going to buy a house or a piece of heavy construction equipment or a new yacht or become anyone's sugar daddy... so try and get me to pay charges that I didn't create.

Best laugh of the day. Thank you.

I hope you had little traffic.
There was traffic everywhere thanks to expanding the highway.
I think from Katy, TX to Johnson Space.. it took us.. almost 2 hours.
and almost 3 going back.

Thanks, Cesar...!!!
Sorry to hear about the long travel times for y’all there and back.
We were in Spring, Texas, which is pretty much directly north of downtown Houston in the suburbs. Fortunately, no highway construction issues. It took us about an hour to get there, and about an hour to get back, so not too bad.
Highway construction will definitely mess with your travel times, especially if y’all were heading there/home near/during either morning or evening rush hour.
No matter, It’s just such a cool place, and will only get more interesting as our space programs expand...I just wanna’ go to space...!!!!!!!

The weather is lovely here today, sunny, slight breeze. and 73. Perfect for a mojito. So I made myself one, yummy

My idea of a perfect day.

 

[Gabe1]

So the big delay in applying for my City license to open the new store was their checklist asked for a certified copy of our LLC ppwk. The only way to get a certified copy is to send away to Tallahassee and wait for mail to come back. Otherwise I had everything ready on the 15th.

It came yesterday, I brought everything at 8am, and they told me I didn’t have to do that, I could have just used the non-certified printout from the gov public records site.

But, they were super nice and offered to expedite so *if* it is approved, they will forgo inspections until Monday and I can get the license tomorrow and open on Saturday.

Now I just have to finish setting up to be ready to open on Saturday! We’re about 80% there.

Too early for a cocktail?

Can't wait for you to be all settled again.

It is never too early for a cocktail is it? It's 5 o'clock somewhere was pounded into the ground between my gazebo and our outside bar, before I sold the home. Probably still is.

It's been cooler for the last couple days in Wisconsin. Today is a great day for the opening of the 2019 Wisconsin State Fair from a temperature standpoint.

In the part of Wisconsin I'm from, it didn't even hit 75 as a high on Tuesday and Wednesday.

What a perfect day for a Fair.

 

[Gabe1]

That sounds like nice temps!! I am ready for Fall!

Well you can take that back woman!

 

[donaldtoo]

I don't understand this. Literally the only reason we went into club cool was because i read about the Beverly on the internet. To remove it just seems like a bad move.

Indeed, I don’t get it either.
Even if the novelty has worn off (mostly due to the interwebs, probably), it’s still a classic, and a classic that I happen to actually LOVE...!!!!!!!

ETA...
We remember when it was “Ice Station Cool” way back when...!!!!!

I just saw this too. Grrrrrr.

Equifax breach settlement: You're not getting that $125. Here's why.

Equifax told consumers it can't pay the full $125 to those who filed a claim instead of taking the free credit monitoring.

www.google.com

Cant they be sued again for this? It means they did not live up for their side of the agreement.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Equifax offered free monitoring for a year after the breach, and then extended it with a different company for another year ... now they get to pay money on top of it.

True, but Equiax basically had to and hid much of the situation. My bank was very forthcoming, and no information was actually exposed. It was the mere threat that prompted them to action. Considering what horrendous experiences people have had with banks, it's nice to have a good relationship with mine.

@Tony the Tigger How long will you be in WDW this time?

StarWarsGirl, I really don't appreciate you stealing my cat. I would like you to return him immediately.

The usual, just a few nights. Probably drive up & stay off site on Saturday the 24th, then our first stay at Ft Wilderness Cabins (with the pup) Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. Home on Wednesday early because Brian has to work that day.

Slight problem. The black cat living in my house is female. And also fat.

I'll miss you this year.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

I got my new phone. Also got Popsockets for it.

 

[donaldtoo]

And that is how I feel about this year. It is flying!

Again, and as always, don’t blink...!!!
Sorry, but, this song/video is just so appropriate regarding life, in general, to me anyway.
We tried not to blink at all with our kiddos, and still try not to blink with our dearest lil’ Emy, but, it happens sometimes...!!!
But, life is good, and we have been blessed immensely...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty gang, enough sentimentality from me tonight, and tomorrow’s, finally Half-day Friday...!!!!!
The sweetest of dreams to one and all...!!!
Laterrrrrrrrrrr...!!!!!!!!!!!
