The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

[Figgy1]

Good morning Figgy! Yes, I noticed on another thread that one of my posts was quoted in your reply. Wonky indeed!

Good morning or er um good night. I noticed that one also, what I before hitting post reply was something much different. That and about 1/3 if the avatars were white

I actually like the way that looks. I may need to do some online shopping soon. I do have 0% interest for 5 more months on my Disney Rewards card...

Be careful, that could be very dangerous!

I remember my driver training. Our instructor wouldn't allow me to leave the parking lot until I figured out how to brake.

LOL Seeing I already knew how to operate another moving vehicle, one of my parent's thought it would be a good idea to toss me the keys and say by tonight you'll be able to pass the test. Route 3, the Lincoln Tunnel, and mid-town first day may not have been the best idea but it worked

well, if you didnt know how to brake.. how would leave the parking lot anyway? crashing into everything?

Have you seen the movie Clueless? It would've been like the freeway scene, since back then we did driver training in groups.

Cheer up, it might just be a name change, price increase, Disney is famous for that.

If I am not mistaken the mart been gone for years already???? I use to love it too but I don't remember it from my last several trips. They almost have a knock of the Mart (if it is still there) in the Co-Op building called MarketPlace Fun Finds. Instead of $10 or less it was higher maybe $20-$25 or less. I found some worthy things at both but got taken a few times too. I bought some glassware that the paint melted off in the dishwasher. I found these two places to be a last chance before we ship this stuff off to the Cast Member store off sight kinda place. Not necessarily bad stuff by any means but certainly buyer beware.

I just may not have noticed the name change last time. Thank you I'm even calmer now. It was a good place for the boys to grab a little something.

I'm waiting for selfie sticks to be banned at schools soon, like at Disney some people are careless and inconsiderate of others around them. We are toying with adding language to our banned items to our school board policy. Kids nor parents really have a need for these on school property or trips. Some of those sticks are built like a police club, not good.

Great idea and good luck. The children in my district are already banned from having them on school property

 

[Figgy1]

Yep, that's exactly what we did when at the Lego store. DD wanted to buy something so we just checked Amazon, found it cheaper, and told her it would be waiting for her when we got home!

My boys love the Lego Store. The biggest is the worst I have to ban him soon! Gee you'd think once they hit 35 they'd grow up a bit Each on of them always gets a cup of assorted pieces they've been looking for.

And people question why kids, don't have any common sense.

Like the genius found dead in his home, he had a pet cobra. Pet and cobra do not belong in the same sentence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Figgy1]

I've never watched any of these movies. Guess I need to add to my list.

No you don't!

 

[Figgy1]

Time for a nap. Yawn, yawn. Rain is coming too.

Sympathy like. Rain again? Did you move to Florida and not tell us? You are getting strange weather this year.

 

[Figgy1]

Happy National Tequila Day!

Happy belated. Darn I missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well I wasn't with in walking distance of La Cava

 

[Figgy1]

Finally got a new phone! So hopefully I can check in more regularly.

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Years ago I switched over to contacts. Had them for 15 or so years and then I got old. Needing reading glasses I decided that I would switch back to glasses because if I had to carry glasses with me anyway, I might just as well have the one set. Progression lenses that darkened in the sunlight and went back to normal inside have been perfect. The only time it was a hassle at all was watching 3D stuff, but, even that wasn't that big a problem.

Recently, because I live in the south and play golf, I got tired of sweat dripping on my lenses every time I put my head down. (one thing you always hear playing golf... keep your head down) With the development of my cataracts I found the the contacts helped improve my vision substantially. Eye doctors told me that it shouldn't make any difference, but, I can see it, so I am hooked on contacts again. In August I am supposed to have cataract surgery which will, theoretically, make my vision in that eye 20/20 again so having a contact for my right eye should be helpful. (until the cataract in that eye starts to affect my vision) So now, I need to bring sunglasses, reading glasses and spare regular glasses in case I have a problem with the contact(s). So, the moral of the story is, life doesn't get easier when you get older. Less stressful, but, never free of some hassle or the other.

Sympathy like and good luck with the surgery.

I want to apologize to those here who posted Chit Chat trip reports here and I missed them. You all were so receptive to mine and I missed yours.

Top of the morning to you!

Hi Seahawk7, and it looks like Figgy is up, too!

 

[seahawk7]

Hi Seahawk7, and it looks like Figgy is up, too!

I'm at work. With my new phone its easier to get online than carrying my tablet to work. Hopefully I can post more often now.

 

[Figgy1]

Hi Seahawk7, and it looks like Figgy is up, too!

Good morning! I've been up for over 2 hours! I take morning person to a whole new level.

She was distracting to the conductor, as well. But, she got the video she wanted.

I really wish that after the end of one of the musical sets, that someone would have gone up to her and asked her to please move to the side. Sometimes people are oblivious to what they're doing, although this is not to say that a more considerate person would have realized that she was blocking the view and creating a distraction. It's one thing for a parent to go up there and take a few pictures, and then go back to her seat, but to stand there during the entire concert is lame.
