Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

[lisaviolet]

Just stopping by to say hi. Hi!

I would love to catch up but I'm sure it would be futile at this late date. Entertaining hands down and back around, but futile. Hope life is wonderful.

 

[lisaviolet]

Hope life is wonderful.

Oh it is! Hawaii. Yeah you guys.

And in the middle of a balmy Winnipeg winter at that, laughing.

 

[franandaj]

I was curious to see who would notice and how long it'd take.
So... You... and not long!
So far there are no details.
Just the date and that's it!

I would have noticed if I was posting on a computer, but my phone doesn't show signatures. I had to go to the computer to see why folks were talking about. How cool!

Well, I'm caught up now! Just posted!

I saw that! I probably ly won't get another update until I get home. Too many shout outs now!

 

[Gracefulskinny]

I saw that. You're just not having much fun, are you.

I'll just be glad when I have the keys in hand.

How could I not notice? I think it's wonderful! Escaping the winter! It's perfect timing. Can't wait to read all about your snow bird plans!

Hey! It's Lisa V! Hi!

I would love to catch up but I'm sure it would be futile at this late date.

Nah. You could still catch up.
Might be more time consuming than it's worth, though.

Entertaining hands down and back around, but futile.

Thanks!

Hope life is wonderful.

Yer darned tootin'!

I would have noticed if I was posting on a computer, but my phone doesn't show signatures. I had to go to the computer to see why folks were talking about. How cool!

I hope not! I have enough "cool" at home!
I want warmth!

I saw that! I probably ly won't get another update until I get home. Too many shout outs now!

I hear ya. The shout-outs take more time than the chapters!
But I wouldn't have it any other way!

I'll just be glad when I have the keys in hand.

I'm sure!
Well it's Tuesday today, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

How could I not notice? I think it's wonderful! Escaping the winter! It's perfect timing. Can't wait to read all about your snow bird plans!

I can't wait.
I doubt I'll be posting any plans or anything though.
I dunno. Hadn't really thought about it.

 

[pkondz]

K, I think I'll change from Prince Charming to Aladin. PC is a bit more rare, I think. I dunno. It's probably Alice or Mary P. but I'll go with Aladin.

Noted.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

I'm sure!
Well it's Tuesday today, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Oh hell was raised and things happened yesterday, however I am now afraid to jinx it by posting about it. Assuming things go according to plan I should have something to post around 10 am Friday

 

[afwdwfan]

So Ruby's done with her meetings at about 3:00
but our flight out isn't til 8:00pm.
We decide to grab a bite and then
make our way to the airport
arriving around 5:00pm.

We're told our flight was cancelled
but since we're so early they can put us on the six o'clock flight.

Sure!

I swear I've got a horseshoe up someplace.


And fallonkendra I see your post
and will comment when we get back
and I have my laptop again.

Wow... so your bus luck must be getting contagious to other forms of transportation. Walking up to a bus stop and getting right on a bus... that's one thing. Walking up to the ticket counter at the airport and being handed a ticket to an earlier flight... well that's on a whole different level of ridiculously lucky.

I'm not even going to say anything.
I don't want to jinx it either!!

Just dusted it off and slapped it up there today.

was curious to see who would notice and how long it'd take.
So... You... and not long!
So far there are no details.
Just the date and that's it!

Doing my afternoon Pkondz time and of course I noticed! You slipped that in last night very quietly it seems. And what, no details. Trying to remember, did you just go to Oahu last time? This time it's Maui?
I think it would be nice to see Hawaii again. I went many moons ago when I graduated high school. Me and my best friend. Two girls who could wear string bikinis then. Just Oahu, it was fun.
So..what's the occasion? Late anniversary trip or family time? Enough questions, you'll give details later, right? right? All I know is this must mean another Trip Report!!!
Having less computer problem so might actually get back to comment on update and guesses. Had most of my guesses figured out but hadn't decided on snack. I'll be back (like a bad penny)!

 

[Saturn23]

Yes, I suppose that would do it all right.

YAY! I got a cartoon reply. Thanks I always wanted one of those. And yes that's exactly what it looked like.

Well, get on that, girl!

How am I supposed to improve my guessing abilities? Should I study more? I guess I could wait and answer last so I can copy the best answers. Are we allowed to have 4 guesses for snacks? If we are I want to add cronut and that Karamel thing from Germany.

Proof!

(and.... I need to buy a guitar apparently.)

Weird, I just assumed you already had one, or two or three.. Yes ask Santa for one.

I work in the Air Traffic industry

So you're the reason planes don't come crashing out of the sky???? That's pretty awesome! Is it really stressful? Now I know how you can keep up with 50 different conversation all at once and still know what everyone is talking about. I was wondering how that was possible.

Introduce a man in that mix and I know I can make some
(or even a lot) of women uncomfortable.
I try to be as quiet and in the background as I can.
After a while, when they see I'm just trying like they are,
things go better.
But I hate making people uncomfortable.

When they realize you're just a regular guy and not some creepy dude at the back of the class secretly snapping pictures of them.

Still... it would make for an interesting contest...

Admit it, you love my idea and can't wait to try it. For once it's not even something that can get you arrested. Speaking of which...

I was at Target a few days ago and I was looking for the BB8 bobble head for a Secret Santa gift. I found Chewy and Kylo Ren and put them in my cart since there was no BB8. A guy on the other side of the display reached behind it and pulled out BB8, the only one in the store. Someone must have secretly hidden it. He just held it up in the air and stared at it. Before I had a chance to scream out "THAT'S NOT THE DROID YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!" he put it in his cart. A lady next to us asked him a question about one of the other toys and he walked away from his cart. I had a few seconds to carry out my evil plan. If I abandoned my cart then quickly grabbed BB8 and ran to the check out, he probably wouldn't catch me before I could get back to my car. If I got caught I was planning on crying my way out of it. It isn't really stealing if he hasn't bought it yet right???

I didn't do it though. I sadly left without BB8. Luckily he was magically back in stock again on Amazon for retail price. And after all that I'm not even using it as a Secret Santa gift. I'm keeping it.

 

[cinderkelly]

Holy Maui onion batman! I just saw the new ticker! I must have missed a detail or two somewhere.. Do we get to see pics of you in a grass skirt? I'm a gonna have to go back and read what I must have missed out on. Maui is such a beautiful place! Exciting stuff on the horizon!

 

[OregonGirl]

Oh, sure! I always get the blame for....

Wait. That's a good thing, right?

Lol.

Too bad there's a big meet in October since we're going at the end of September!

Grr... well, I have to agree with:

Easy. Just extend your stay by three weeks.

See? Problem solved. Heh heh.

 

[Steppesister]

Nice ticker.

OH WAIT!!

Nice ticker!!!!!!

 

[pkondz]

Doing my afternoon Pkondz time and of course I noticed!

Of course. Silly of me.

You slipped that in last night very quietly it seems.

That's what she said!

And what, no details. Trying to remember, did you just go to Oahu last time? This time it's Maui?

Yep, Oahu last time.
And the Big Island almost 20 years ago.

I think it would be nice to see Hawaii again. I went many moons ago when I graduated high school.

So, about two years ago?

Me and my best friend. Two girls who could wear string bikinis then. Just Oahu, it was fun.

No more string bikinis for you, huh? Sticking with clamshells, right?
Right.

So..what's the occasion? Late anniversary trip or family time? Enough questions, you'll give details later, right? right? All I know is this must mean another Trip Report!!!

Oh, I'll mention a couple of details in the next update, I guess.
But there really aren't any right now.

Having less computer problem so might actually get back to comment on update and guesses. Had most of my guesses figured out but hadn't decided on snack. I'll be back (like a bad penny)!

Okay. I'm hoping to start writing the next update tonight.

 

[pkondz]

YAY! I got a cartoon reply. Thanks I always wanted one of those.

You're welcome!

And yes that's exactly what it looked like.

Of course it is. Bill Watterson was awesome.
Well, still might be.
Would be if he went back to the drawing board... literally.

How am I supposed to improve my guessing abilities? Should I study more?

Guess better.

I guess I could wait and answer last so I can copy the best answers.

This strategy works to keep you at the same pace as others.
However "everyone" is frequently wrong too.

Are we allowed to have 4 guesses for snacks? If we are I want to add cronut and that Karamel thing from Germany.

Not really. I did say to pick two snacks.
But I'm letting it go.

Weird, I just assumed you already had one, or two or three.. Yes ask Santa for one.

I took up guitar after being "forced" to take piano by my parents.
(How terrible of them! )
After much wheedling and whining
(I'm good at that, as I'm sure you knew)
they got me a guitar and let me take lessons.
Much to my dismay, playing the guitar involves something
I obviously lacked.

Talent.

Oh and a willingness to actually practice, too.

So you're the reason planes don't come crashing out of the sky???? That's pretty awesome!

No. Not really. I stopped doing that years ago.
Now I play a much smaller role.

Is it really stressful?

It had its moments.

Now I know how you can keep up with 50 different conversation all at once and still know what everyone is talking about. I was wondering how that was possible.

It's not. I just fake it really well.

When they realize you're just a regular guy and not some creepy dude at the back of the class secretly snapping pictures of them.

Exactly! I mean what they don't know can't hurt them right????

Er... uh... I mean... Yes! Of course!


Truthfully, I am very much aware of my impact as a male in that class
and I'm probably just as uncomfortable as some of the women
with my discomfort at making them uncomfortable.

Wait... let me go back and read that to see if it made sense...


Close enough.

Admit it, you love my idea and can't wait to try it.

For once it's not even something that can get you arrested.

Hooray!
Avoiding prison time seems to be becoming a new pastime of mine.

Speaking of which...

Uh, oh...

OMG! You're such a bad girl!
You were gonna snag it right out of his cart!?!?

Wait... You're not talking about the (almost) $200 one are you?
If so, I want you as my Secret Santa.


On second thought. Considering you kept it... nevermind.

 

[pkondz]

Holy Maui onion batman! I just saw the new ticker! I must have missed a detail or two somewhere..

nanananananananananananana... Batman!!!!
No details yet. Just the ticker.

Do we get to see pics of you in a grass skirt

Well I do have awfully nice legs...

I'm a gonna have to go back and read what I must have missed out on. Maui is such a beautiful place! Exciting stuff on the horizon!

Come back! You didn't miss anything about Maui!

See? Problem solved. Heh heh.

Well, I thought so!

Nice ticker.

Thanks.

OH WAIT!!

Nice ticker!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!!!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Maui in 2 months??? SWEEEEEEEETTTTT.

Ever been on that island before?
