The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

OK, mini rant...
What Programming Director on Freeform decided to show the first 2 BttFs in a row and not the 3rd...?!?!?!

Hmm . . . I have these images in my mind of the old tv show, Dallas . . . but you all live in Austen, and your name isn't Ewing, so I guess you're not the extended family portrayed on that show?!

No, here's our family portrait.
You'll see, there's absolutely no resemblance...

True, true . . . maybe 2nd cousins at best . . . However--

I do recall (a few months ago) that you said you got some sort of interest (royalty?) check from an oil field.

Welcome to the Chit Chat thread. Just jump in we don't bite. Some may say Mr. Ferret does, but he hasn't got me yet.

Thank you.

Not me, my folks.
And, 2 oil fields, actually.
Two pieces of family property.
But, with gas prices the way they are these days, those gusher checks have turned into trickles.
But, yes, Ewings we are.....as far as you know...!

It is just like making an other ADR, you reserve it with your credit card. And is open to anyone even without a stay at a Disney hotel. Although if you are at the Swan or Dolphin isn't that treated like a Disney hotel in terms of dining reservations? I know it is for fastpass + .

So when you stayed at the Swan, did you buy your park tickets there, or did you buy them prior to that (via mail or whatever)? I always buy mine at the AAA office (I'm a member up here) prior to my trip, and AAA discounts the ticket price. Also, I hate to wear a MM+ "band" so I prefer the plastic card.

Question: to set up your fastpass plus "account", did you have to buy your Disney ticket (or band) directly from Disney? I'm only asking because I've never set up an account; I've just used the plastic (AAA) card in the parks and used single rider lines on the bigger attractions. So I was just trying to figure out how you'd set up an "account" if you didn't have a band bought directly from Disney (I figure there must be some number, or code. on the band that you use to set up your acct.)

Other than me, you're the only other person on here who has stayed at the Swan, so that's why I'm asking. I was just curious. I probably don't need any sort of account--never had one before.

Good afternoon everyone!

My parents are going to the car dealership next week to get my mom's new car.

Awesome. What kind?

I think it's going to be a few days to get accustomed to the time change. Yawn! Is it bedtime yet?

 

[donaldtoo]

Did you know, that old cloth diapers, bleached several times over make really good dust cloths?

Good shop rags, too.

Passed by Tokyo Disneyland on my way to the hotel, and after crashing for Sunday I'm now ready for Japan

I paid 89 cents per gallon the other day.

Woof. This couldn't have been right, unless you were using some kind of gas rewards card, or something similar...?!
I don't know where in Nova Scotia y'all are, but, after a quick search, the lowest I could find in Halifax was $0.84.4 per liter...

I'm a little excited.....for our June WDW trip hubby and I are doing a day apart and then meeting at Trader Sams later. He is going golfing and I just scored a Dining with an Imagineer reservation for me! I really wanted to do this but by the time I first looked for a reservation it was booked, so tonight I was just playing around and found one spot open on the day we are doing our own thing ! It was meant to be. I hope I get a good Imagineer, I won't find out who it is until check in. Has anyone ever done this?

No, unfortunately, but, congrats...!!!

I will definitely post a picture of the burnt ends and ribs for you! This is what the burnt ends hash looked like last year....

Normal behavior -- if you weren't doing that after all you've been through recently with your dad's situation, I'd probably be worried about you! Hang in there, kid.
