Something About Nothing..........# 10

[macraven]

since you live in canada and don't have the Dollar Stores.......
maybe you have the Loonie Store......


anyhoot, i scout out the Dollar Stores and see what trinkets i can find.


i usually pick up chicago or milwaukee post cards, magnets, pens, shotglass or any chicago trinket (Cubs, Soxs, Bears, Blackhawks, etc) to take with me on my trips.

when i can't find any at the $ store, i hit Walgreens for it.


i try to give out a chgo postcard and a chgo trinket to homies i meet up so they remember me.

maybe you and your group that are doing the September vacation would like to start picking up those little items to give out while on your stay in orlando.
give them to those you meet up with on the boards, to the CM's, the TM's, when you leave a tip at a restaurant, the hotel check in employee, etc.
everyone loves to get a small token of friendship!

these items are small and can fit into a pocket.


i'll meet up with you but the surprise factor is now gone.
you're on my list for the postcard and trinket.....


i saw in that one thread you and i will cross paths at the motherland ....

I love love love the postcard idea!! I've been collecting postcards for five years now, so I think handing them out to people like that is a super idea!!

We have a dollar store up here called the Dollarama, which I am completely addicted to. <3 And I love getting trinkets there. Last year I bought Halloween bracelets for Carol and I, and she was ecstatic about it.

Maybe I could go stock up on little Canadian trinkets... it's almost Canada Day, and they're everywhere.

Which days will you be at the motherland?

We've changed our minds about how we're doing the parks. Carol has some sort of deal/time share with Sheraton and we're planning on staying in an offsite resort to save on gas and toll fees. So we'll be doing our three motherland parks all at once. So Sept 28, 30, Oct 1. I think we're doing HHN on Sept 26 or 27.

I'm soooo excited for this! Only three more months to go.
It'll be great to meet some homies and fellow DISers. I've never done the parks this way before.

i do all my glow stick, necklaces, bracelets shopping at the dollar stores..........


yes, i'll be at the motherland on that monday and tuesday when you are there.
9/30 and 10/1


pencil me in on your calendar.



what's a penny called, sou?
or one cent?
i think canada quit minted them back in May 2012.

pick up some canadian penny, canada day cards, trinkets that reflect canada as a fun cheap think to share with others.
that and the most loved glow sticks are always fun to receive.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

A penny is a penny. They stopped minting them last May, and officially removed them from stores and banks this year. I've hoarded a good five hundred of them, because someday... someday they'll be worth 2 cents each! hehe
I love all these ideas.

Maybe I'll also bring a few loonies for those who deserve something more than a penny. ^_^
Which makes me ask... have you ever used/gotten a dollar coin? I hear tales that people only use them at coin car washes and the like. Is that the only time you'd ever use one?
We no longer have dollar bills or two dollar bills, and at one point the government was thinking of removing the five dollar bill. I really think that Canada wants to get rid of real money and that scares me.

Someone sent me one once, and it's in my coin collection, along with a buffalo nickel.

i just read that james gandolfini died.
only 51......

[keishashadow]

i think keisha is saying, she ate well on her trip........


welcome back homie, youse were missed!

ate, drank, spent hours at disney guest services in order to straighten out the tix snafu that resulted from a will-call mix up. Compared to the 5 minutes it took me to purchase a power pass at universal studio's gate (where they even offered us a small discount on purchase price via DH's PAP)

I totally just got reamed in the Community Board section for daring to suggest that material items sometimes make a vacation a little bit better than one that's simply "Okay, we're going here. Let's do it."

I feel as though I'm not a good person because I think special items can help make a trip feel a bit better.

Obviously I didn't explain myself in the best way. I hadn't meant just material items.

But wow.

I feel... so low.

i can't remember the last time i visited the CB, always did have a fear of s.

we are all living in a material worldsome of us like our 'stuff' more than others who cast stones then spend their disposable vacation $s on pricey accommodations/upgraded rental cars/top shelf booze hehehe u get my drift. Ignore the haters, not worth a split second of your time.

I hit the $ store up today with GD in hand. Nice to feel like a big dog and tell her she can have anything she wants in the store. Fooled me and requested two hula hoops...one for my house, one for her home my very own mini-me

i just read that james gandolfini died.
only 51......



tony soprano, rip

wow, that's a surprise. I thought he was much older. Have a feeling he enjoyed a well-lived life.

Does anyone know if they are broadcasting live on the today show tomorrow for Transformers? If so I won't get any work done at hat time. I will stay in my shop and watch.
