Here's a fun little ponder: favorite childhood vacation and have you ever tried to go back/recreate it.

This came up cause a friend here is going to disney world for the first time.

I've only gone to disneyland but just going through all the rides and telling her what she "has" to see/ride is so much fun. I need to get me a chick and drag her to disneyland. Happiest place on Earth!

NAVYSEILS

For me it was probably my Orlando vacations too. Not just disney, I liked Universal more as a kid.

I went back there several times with my family, and once again in '07 with a friend. I know some of the rides off by heart and can navigate to just about everywhere without needing the maps... but even so, it never got any less enjoyable.

I wish I was rich and could go again.

AVERYFINECOMPANION

I've never been to any Disney place :O(

I used to go to Cape Cod with my grandparents a lot. I would LOVE to go back!! I haven't been there in years!

Still sick! I feel okay but my voice sounds like I've been smoking 3 packs a day for about 20 years....

I also officially dropped out of school. It just wasn't for me. The place was way too ghetto and gross for my liking. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders too. I'm happy I left.

Quebec city was great. I would hang out at the bluffs where the old city is located and take in the atmosphere. At night on the boardwalk, at the top of the bluff, is filled with artists and street performers.

I would love to go to Canada. Hell, I'd love to live in Canada, but I always feel like they probably don't like Americans too much...
I don't really go on vacation too often, but I did go to Prague when I was in highschool, which was awesome. It's a beautiful city.

Actually I don't know as I have FLT

I have gotten sick and tired of being a behavior consultant and spending my days trying to fix teachers who don't want to be fixed. I have applied for, and am doing a working interview, at a high school to be an actual teacher. So with a little bit of luck by Wednesday I will be a normal high school teacher instead.
Sadly I do still have to drive the 62 miles each way to get here, but it sure beats the alternative

So did you watch HIMYM? I liked it except for the Robin storyline that fell flat IMO.

ok I did like HIMYM ( High 6!) I love the Marshall/Lily overbearing dad bit and I thought it was a bit far fetched that Robin would sink so low ( come on 2 weeks without shower and cheeto in hair?)
I'm betting Rachel Bilson's wedding though sort of wondering... the title is How I MET your mother. So after we get to him meeting her is it over??
Also awaiting Big Bang Theory with baited breath.. Sheldon is the sweeter, funnier, nicer version of some of the students I work with

I wouldn't mind Rachel Bilson being a regular this season. That would be awesome. Especially since her roommate is the mother it makes sense for Ted to meet her at Rachel's wedding.

I was annoyed by the Marshal Lily story a bit because we've never seen Marshal's dad before. If he's such a big part of Marshal's life then where has he been? That type of thing annoys me with HIMYM. Like apparently Ted's sister has been living in New York for a while now and we haven't seen her again at all. Where are all these important people hiding?

I find it strange when they do that. Especially when the actors/actresses are relative no names who aren't off in full time roles on other shows/movies. I'm sure they'd be happy with the extra work even for little cameo's like being in the background of a wedding scene. For instance at Ted's wedding. We didn't see any of his family there. That's kinda lame IMO.

Did the same later in the day. Got to shoot the Sig I traded for an old varmint rifle. Still effectively shooting right handed sans the right eye. Over the last year and a half I have taught myself to shoot long guns left handed and I'm fast approaching the skill I had before the cataract in my right eye got too bad to see clearly. During last years 76th Battalion D*C shoot was the last time I shot a long gun right handed. Hopefully I can get the surgery done soon.

Sorry about the eye, NVG :( hope you can get it fixed soon.

Ponder: study habits. I have a professor who's been assigning an enormous amount of reading every week, and expects us to be able to complete it, neglecting the fact that his class isn't the only one we have to read for. I know this is far from unique in the college world, but what have you done to try to keep up with assignments such as these that aren't a part of your core degree?

Okay, the shocker... Ted and Barney (and sometimes Larney) are the parents. Barney so wrought with over compensation for his feminine feelings he'd hidden by sleeping with so many women decides to take the plunge and opts for surgery. Sadly Barney, now known as Bonnie as to alleviate confusion, was unable to bear children and accepted both Robin and Lillys offer to be surrogate mothers. Together Bonnie and Ted decide that their idea to store sperm before Barneys operation was a good one and each sire a child. Of course there was a conflict episode while they decided who gets to inseminate Robin, but Barney/Bonnie decides it is best that Lilly carries his child (mostly due to the fact he didn't get to sleep with her before the operation).

To be continued...
