I'm stuck in conference calls all day, too. Maybe we can Zoom-bomb each other's meetings.

No Zoom for me today and that's why I can reply to you right now.

To you sunshine, 10 Short of a Benjamin.

Ouch, I love Lego but I'm in the wrong tax bracket to have it for a hobby

Observation of the day...
The actual size of your yard is directly dependent on who mows their grass first.

3 days in a row of tennis. I can get used to this retirement thing.

I can see where you might just.
I could too, but that won't be for a good while yet.

Why is BP higher at Dr office than at home?

Mine does that.
I absolutely hate even being there.

Remind me to respond to that one later on.
or maybe the next day...

Well I have a meeting later this afternoon about potential work coming up. Not sure how long it will last but will be good to get a few days pay. At least my bank account will be happier. As much as I’ve enjoyed the month off...

May that go well.
May it especially benefit your accounts.

Silly English. American health insurance companies don't let a something like death stop them from billing.

No...
No they don't.

Feeling Dan's motivation this morning but unfortunately I have two calls that will take a big part of the day. Good news, they are old school so mute and no video it is!

The only way to manage a teleconference.
Even better is to not have to be in the conference.
I've been fortunate the last few days.
No emails, no phone calls...
If they ain't looking for me, then I ain't missing.

Well, that's my day sorted.View attachment 500372

Nicely sorted indeed.
I'd almost consider selling out that Benji for one of those.

Are you kidding? That was just 2 years ago.

1. Poutine from refreshment port and beer at Rose & Crown or Chips and Salsa with Margarita at La Cava del Tequila
2. Soarin or FOP?
3. Frozen Sing Along or FOTLK
4. Wilderness Lodge or AKL?
5. Christmas or Halloween at DaWorld?

1 Depends on whether I turn left or right that day.
2 FOP (at least until they unbend the mountains and monuments)
3 FOTLK (is this even a question?)
4 Yes
5 Probably Christmas... but being there at all is the general goal.

 

[Cinderella's Fella]

Baseline - enjoy the atmosphere there

...and it's fun to watch the people going in and out of SWGE...

 

[londontime]

Cover of turn off the camera? Been doing that myself so that folks can't see the stink eye I give them for saying stupid things.

I leave mine on for this precise reason.

 

[londontime]

I still think young Chief looks like the dude out of 30 Something

I'd almost consider selling out that Benji for one of those.

And we would thank you for your custom, sir. Can I interest you in a Disney Castle?

5. Christmas or Halloween at DaWorld?

1. Since no-carbing it - and letting myself indulge when I'm at DaWorld - I'll go with the Poutine.

2. FOP - no doubt!

3. FOTLK - those monkeys are awesome! And I love bleeting!

4. Never stayed at Wilderness so I'll go with AKL

5. Haven't been for either!

(running low on ideas for pick 'ems and top 5's)

That's ok. I'm impressed you've kept it running this long!

1. Poutine from refreshment port and beer at Rose & Crown or Chips and Salsa with Margarita at La Cava del Tequila
2. Soarin or FOP?
3. Frozen Sing Along or FOTLK
4. Wilderness Lodge or AKL?
5. Christmas or Halloween at DaWorld?

1. Fries and beer wins over chips and salsa. Not that I'd turn down either.
2. FoP all the way, especially since the new version of Soarin' was a downgrade.
3. FOTLK
4. My 2 favorite resorts. Would probably lean AKL if I was forced to choose.
5. Christmas. Never been much into Halloween.

Well said.

Remember...

There it is all made up if that seals the deal.
The paddles rotate and the steam pipes go up and down, it's on concealed wheels.
I like this one.
They really have got me drinkin' the Kool Aid.

To you sunshine, 10 Short of a Benjamin.

Don't think I'll be getting that any time soon.

3. Frozen Sing Along or FOTLK
4. Wilderness Lodge or AKL?
5. Christmas or Halloween at DaWorld?

Dad, Dad, Can I have Poutine from refreshment port and Margarita? Can I Can I Can I?
FOP. New Soarin is baaaaaddd.
FOTLK.
Ooo. That's a tough one. Wilderness Lodge - Amazing Lobby, great vibe, slightly outside the bubble, great restaurant in Whispering Canyon and Geyser Point - Same could be said though for all 4 points in AKL (Boma and Sannaa). AKL has the animals, but WL is closer together (don't like the Jambo/Kidani split). Hmmmm. Sod it. Wilderness Lodge.
Only done Xmas at DLP, but the Halloween Party has to be hands down the best night at a park.

Poutine will always trump salsa since I'm allergic to peppers.
FoP. Soarin' is crap since they re-did unless you're front row center.
FotLK. Although Frozen sing along with the ither dads is a blast, FotLK is good regardless.
WL.
Halloween because Boo to you parade and fireworks. Oh yeah, free candy. (Well, if you factor in ticket price, maybe only $2 per piece.)

 

[londontime]

Well that didn't take long.

And I did 2 conference calls while I was building it. Its only about 600 pieces or so. Waiting for the Haunted House to turn up, and see if the Lady K will still sign off the castle when it comes back in stock.
She is proper Jonesing for a vacation.

 

[budamacdvcr]

3 Frozen Sing Along or FOTLK (is this even a question?)

Only for the Dads that were at DDCC8 when the actors called out the DisDads and told the audience to sing along with us

I still think young Chief looks like the dude out of 30 Something

Oh man! You are so right

5. Haven't been for either!

So which one would you want to attend?
