Most excellent!
We got to do pretty much everything that was on our list, saw some of the new shows, tried out some new dining options, spent more than I ought on knick-knacks and some excellent booze, saw a couple new Florida sites along the way and generally had a mighty fine time. We missed the grand opening of “Pandora” by one day, but I’m ok with that. It ended up being the madhouse that I suspected it would be and I know us; we’ll be back, so I’ll see it then.
I’d write about it, but truth is I can’t get myself motivated enough to finish the TR I’ve got open and honestly, not that many folks would care all that much. There are many far better (and more reliable) writers around here.
I'm glad to hear that
you've got some good TRs
to take your mind off things.
So... why are you here, then?
Because you foolishly allow me into the club house.
It’s your own fault.
Yup.
Hasn't happened often, luckily.
In the last five-ish years I’ve had credit cards hacked three times and at least two accounts falsely opened on either my or DW’s name. Luckily, it all got caught quickly by either us or the institutions so no major losses incurred yet.
I know that nothing out in cyber-world is completely secure (and never will be) so staying on top of what’s going on and being skeptical of bleeding-edge tech is the only real option.
Nope!
If I write it on a piece of paper,
it's too easy for me to lose it.
With my iPod I always.....
oh.
And there’s the rub.
Now when “they” start integrating electronics directly into our brains at birth, that’s when things will be different. Unless, of course, we forget to make the notes in the first place despite the “onboard” enhancements.
I do feel your pain here though.
I recently misplaced a thumb-drive that had a whole lot of my notes and research on it.
I was smart enough to back it up elsewhere, but…
I hadn’t done so recently.
Needless to say, the bulk of that data is still available but there are a lot of newer bits and general enhancements that I’ve lost.
At least your iPod did turn up.
And I'd be curious to know
which one of us is more...
antiquated.
Being of a 1962 vintage I suspect it’s me.
If that wasn’t a virtue before, it certainly has come to be seen as one in recent years.
What's the first??
“Kittens” of course.
Feel free to replace that one with whichever euphemism strikes your fancy.
Heck, make a contest of it. There are some clever folk ‘round here.
Funny. About 2 days ago,
Kay asked if I had a copy
of that book.
Imagine my surprise
(horror, really)
when I realized I didn't.
But you’ve since rectified that situation, correct?
And at times, there’s not really much difference between the two.
I think most people are decent.
Maybe…
up to a point.
Not really a fan of their
breakfast sammies.
Ahhhh…
None around these parts so I’ll have to trust your experience here.
As soon as I saw it
without the hyphens....
...I filled out the form
“Here’s your sign”…
An old I/T & Tech Support joke, that one.
It often shows up as a resolution code on incident reports explaining the problem that an end-user was having with their computer. Another one is: PEBCAK
Sure.... let's go with that.
It seemed the most acceptable synonym available for the situation at hand.
Colourful! Descriptive!
Entertaining!
Sure.... let's go with that.
Of course “fan” is derived from “fanatic”, so my mental state (or lack thereof) may need to be taken into account here as well.
Oh, that's easy.
The one that's going up.
I have.
Never again.
Felt sick for at least 30 minutes.
Well then I take that back.
I find it interesting how that particular attraction affects so many folk who are normally not bothered by simulators or coasters. I wonder what it is that’s so different about that one.
It might make for some interesting medical research.
It's Canada, not Britain!
I was treating the sidewalk as a road.
In that scenario, he’s in the right place.
He still looks foolish, but he is in the correct “lane”.
If more people would apply road rules to sidewalks, then navigating through crowds would certainly be a lot easier.
Nope!
I ain't gonna risk not
having room for the Keg.
Well... maybe pie...
A good exception, to be sure.
Of course, your car’s trunk works like a cooler, so you could just simply have taken any leftovers along with you and had them as a midnight snack.
Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the Hit Parade.
Guys like us we had it made…
And truth be told…
I wouldn’t mind having an old LaSalle
Of course I’d replace the engine and drivetrain, install proper restraints, an aftermarket A/C and a decent sound system, but still…
Come to think of it though, were I do that much renovating to a clunker…
I’d probably start off with a Nomad.
