I thought the acting by Jason, Amber and the character that plays Black Manta were excellent. I also love William Dafoe and the guy who played Jason’s half brother. This particular actor starred in Insidious and The Conjuring.
I got this as well on my SW Biz, then approved a day or two later. It was added to my biz account automatically.
Well, I’m ahead of the game because my coworker travels to Italy every year and gave me the info for her Airbnb in Rome. My husband’s boss also went to Italy this past summer and gave us guidance. If I didn’t have these resources, I’d be lost.
Another library movie borrower here. I just watched Incredibles 2 (Amazing!) My avatar at work for projects is ElasticGirl. I don't mind waiting some time to watch something. Movie prices are outrageous.

I'm jealous that You get to Maui so often..... that 12+ hours on a plane has me holding off on more plans for nowI've been in downsizing hell for the past two months, and I've finally gotten a chance to catch up in the last couple of days. In random order ...
First movie date: Beauty and Beast. I think I saw someone else had this, too
Travel hacking plans:
January: Heading to WDW with my family and @Calfan for the WDW Marathon Weekend. We tinkered with the idea of doing the Dopey, but sanity prevailed and we are "just" doing the half. We are in between companion passes on this one so we are (horrors!) paying for all our airfare on SWA. My CP finished in 2018 and DH is currently in Chase purgatory. He was approved for the Business a couple months ago. A couple weeks ago while in Maui with Calfan and her husband we decided to try the link for the 50k for the priority personal card. Stupidly I forgot that we had our credit frozen, and he wasn't approved immediately. After lifting the credit he was asked TONS of questions, and told that it needed to go for second approval. The whole thing is pretty ridiculous given his numbers, but I really think the self-employed thing is hard no matter how much $$ you make. They prefer an employer with a fixed income. Anyway, he's had the 30 day message for a long time. I don't want to jump the gun on the reconsideration line so I'm trying to be patient.
February: London for ski week. We just bought a timeshare in London and this will be our first stay. So excited! Hopefully we won't have to change our dates, but it may overlap with our house being on the market. The nice thing is that we can move it up to two weeks ahead of time. I've been scanning for airfare, and I'm holding off until we are 100%, Right now the best option looks like premium economy on VS using URs or possibly gambling on a United upgrade.
April: back to WDW with family and @Calfan for Star Wars Half. Hopefully DH's CP will be operational. If not, we'll get DS's ticket with the points from the SW business card. Probably head to Maui with DD for her spring break for a week.
May: My epic British Isles/Faroes trip through an Alumni travel group with a friend for 3+ weeks. The Faroes are my #1 bucket list. As @Calpyso and @Calfan can attest, I was so bummed when our Disney Norway/Iceland cruise a couple years ago changed ports from the Faroes to Orkney. I've been to the Orkeny's four times, LOL. I'm supposed to go to St. Michael's Skellig (Star Wars island), too, but I think it's been closed to tourists so well see. I'm flying BA 1st class with Avios one way using Alaska miles (& $544) that I received from a Marriott Flight and stay plan, and I scored a unicorn on Delta the other way: Virgin Atlantic Upper class for 75,000 sky pesos and $5. I knew these existed, but I couldn't believe I finally found one.
June: London to pick up our daughter who is attending university in England (and our second stay at our timeshare). I'm planning to do United in business over there using the everyday miles (155k) and keep an eye out for savers. Back we will do savers in coach and pay for the upgrade with points and cash. They might not clear, but I'll keep an eye on our flights and hopefully something will open last minute.
July: ABD Japan! So excited for this trip. Wish we could have overlapped with Calypso but we were limited in when we could go because DD has to do a summer dig. I was able to get 3/4 of the legs in first class through a combination of Avios on JAL (DD and me are first class both ways) and Virgin Atlantic's incredible deal for ANA one way in business and one way in first. We have already looked at the alcohol list, LOL, and DD and I can't wait to toast with our Cristal! DH is looking forward to his $400 whisky. And the best part for me .... jammies! Since I did all the work, I made DH agree to give me his ANA jammies so I can compareAll four of us were originally booked on the same JAL flights (two in first and two in business), but when the VS deal with ANA opened up DH and DS decided to switch to try out the first class. We will be coming/going from different Tokyo airports, but we figured it was worth the added hassle.Right now I"m debating on whether to stay at the Tokyo Grand Hyatt for our pre-nights on points or pay for the Tokyo Station hotel with URs. The Tokyo Station hotel is more convenient for both airports, but the Hyatt is a bucket list after Lost in Translation
September: back to London to take DD back to school. We may stay in timeshare, but haven't decided. Hoping to use Alaska miles for American or BA business going and United saver economy back.
Nov/Dec: London and Maui, but haven't decided which in which month. My mom has a place in Maui so we don't have to plan.
Fun to see everyone's plans.
soooo.... my friend got that last week,and within a day was approved- I just found out last night a person with a mental disability (higher functioning but significant) whom I know decided to apply for both personal and biz right on the same day (I have no idea why,I think he was listening to some others in conversation) and he was approved for both immediately...(!!!!) I just put my head down and laughed when he told me this..... all the stress of getting both and the cp and timing on the 'net,and he just goes and does it without thought or hassle.....
Then I warned him to not to apply for cc's again without checking with his Mom lol
we've had OTA antenna in our attic for years now,and watch basic local channels with it (hello PBS I love you) also an old model tivo I got on ebay to record and watch stuff which I use all the time(goodbye commercials) and now we have netflix,hulu and prime. But the prime was not for streaming,altho I do watch the waltons sometimes on Prime lol. I do hulu during the broadcast season b/c I don't get ABC and I love the Goldbergs(and the Middle) but netflix I love and we've had it for years without stopping.
does she have to wait for a year before canceling and apping again?I assume she can before 24 months since she never got a bonus(still horrified) but I wonder how soon she could try for another the correct way? or should I send her to the biz app instead? she is capable of hitting it just didn;t think much about it2019 CC goals - play along if you like.
I am at 4/24; DH at 3/24
-United Mileage for me before 1/8
-once MSR met; CFU for DH
-PC DHs United Mileage and CSP on their anniversary dates
Beyond that, it depends which cards are offering the best bonuses, but I would like to start a stash of points for (in no particular order):
-IHG
-Jet Blue
-Delta
-American Airlines
and also focus on continuing to build up UR and MR and SW
Towards the end of 2019 I hope to get DH SW card(s) for the CP in 2020/21
We have no specific travel plans; hopefully Europe in 2020. Long term goal - have a diverse travel rewards portfolio in 2-3 years.
I am a slow churner so this may actually be a 2-3 year plan.
We get movies from the library too! Mainly for me it’s movies that I enjoyed and want to watch again or movies I didn’t feel like watching in the theater. I loved incredibles 2! I thought the screenslaver was a really cool character.
Thanks I’ll have to check it out and see if I can find something to watch. We’re really bad about watching new shows though. We seriously rewatch friends and the office non stop.
I’m very glad my parents adopted because otherwise who knows where I would be. I have an amazing family and wouldn’t ask for it to be any other way. I was dead set on adopting for awhile but Dh convinced me to try first.
The only other thing to do in our town is go to Walmart at night and mess around lol. I do remember him asking me on Facebook chat if we wanted to go for a drive and that’s what we did. Before that happened we had seen each other at a grungy metal show lol. It was in a tiny bar in the city (not sure how we got in since we were both 16 at the time). I didn’t even know his name or anything but he was there with his friends and I was there with mine. I remember taking his hat and wearing it lol.
Wow we must’ve seen different movies lol jk. It’s interesting how we can have such varying opinions on a movie. I’m one of those people that loves the twilight saga and I’m sure there are people that think similar thoughts about my taste in those movies.
You can do both! Lots of our friends had a couple kiddos biologically and then adopted more. I actually have one friend who did it the opposite than people normally do. She adopted 4 first and then had two more biological. Adoption is still something we may consider as well
