What's on your mind today?

[Buddy]

I have been invited to go on a trip to Iceland and Norway with Hanna's breeder and other people. I really want to go and I think I am going to reserve a spot. I just need to figure out how to come up with seven thousand dollars by next August.

And looking at flights it would be decently priced to fly to England from Norway so I might (extra emphasis on might) try to stay a day of two in England before flying home.

Where in Norway? (I'm only asking in case I have a chance to come and bother you.)

Basically all over. Oslo, Lillehammer, ?lesund, Skei, and Bergen to name a few.

You can forget hotel bills in the UK if you can get to Leeds my wife and I would be delighted if you came and stayed. And I'm sure the dogs would love it too.

Be careful, I might take you up on that. 

Same here - and, I'm sure all the Brits would want you to visit.

Not going to lie, one of the main reasons I want to visit England would be to meet some of you guys.

Claire and I live about 10 miles away from each other so wherever you stay we'll both be around.

I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation.
I wanted to thank all of you ?face to face? for being so nice to me when I needed a friend. (I hope my face doesn?t scare you.) Hey, Bruno, check out my wrinkles.

You look so pretty Mags! I love the new icon.  


I think the best travel advice I have ever gotten was to turn your Internet browser on private when looking at flights and hotels. I just found a round trip plane ticket for 400 dollars cheaper than when I was not on private.

Awwww, that's embarrassing, but thank you. 
You don't look so bad either, just a bit masculine.

Thank you, Icarus, you're also one of my favorite friends.  
You get the biggest hug!

That's crap, I'm not sure if I even got a hug,
if I did it's devalued by this blatant favouritism.
Icarus gets the most favourite friend biggest hug.
I hate Icarus, all nice and caring and sensitive.
He's got to be up to something sly and sneaky.
I only just arranged the Icarus/Bud marriage.
She's now seeking asylum with Tank & Claire.
I'm hoping we'll here the truth once she's safe.

Hello and Good Morning Mags. It's very nice to see you. That's a very lovely picture of you, and a wonderful avatar; I hope you'll leave it up for a while

I looked closely and not a wrinkle did I find, sooooooo I must admit defeat, and sadly accept the fact that I'm the older one, sigh . As wrinkles I have along with some grey.

I can no longer tease you with regards to your age, but fear not I shall put my tiny, little mind to work and find something else to tease you about in due time

You're right, Eric V Arachnid, and I'm sorry. 
You were the first one there, and I didn't give you a hug. 
You're not the only one who's jealous of Icarus's popularity around here.
But it's not his fault, he's just charming by nature. 
You are my favorite spider, that Spiderman--"superhero" ain't got nothing on you!
So....come here!


Davin didn't get a hug either, and he's not asking for one either, I told you he wasn't the hugging type. 
I can see why you hooked me up with him. 
Crow just seems to be the strong silent type.

I'm sure you'll come up with all sort of things.

This is as xmasey as my avatar is going to get. I love the Nightmare before Christmas.

Hey, sweet. I've never flown before, but I do think there's supposed to be a trick to flying during certain times of the year to save money.

Certain times, certain places, certain ways...  For instance, don't fly direct to Minneapolis/St Paul.  It's so much cheaper to put up with a layover.  Annoying, but SO. MUCH. CHEAPER.

Booking way the hell in advance helps too.  Start watching prices several weeks before you want to book, because prices will just jump up and down for no clear reason.  My parents used to book plane tickets like they were playing the stock market.

So is this a good idea for a thread? I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread for general discussion, thoughts and notions. If you have a gripe, or just want to shoot the bull about whatever.

Can I bee frank? I feel like I am in North Korea.

Well the fact that you're posting here proves you're not
