This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition and 2018 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Well, almost as a local pub has a FB contest to predict the score of the day's Oilers game and win a $25 GC and I've picked a pair of 3-2 Oilers victories lately so entered that again today before game time. I had hoped CBJ might get a late goal to make it 3-2 but no such luck. An Oilers win is however still a win and welcomed as they play out the season.

So I attended a micro-Do of sorts in SEA today, somehow FOTSG came up and it garnered much amusement for being oh-so-Canadian because we apparently are too nice to just use "kettle".

What I've now self-diagnoses as mouse-shoulder has gone from slightly annoying for 20 minutes in the morning, 6 months ago, to 2 weeks ago being for 2 hours of annoying, to this week snapping to 5/10 pain always. 4/10, with a steady intake of Vitamin I.

Well, maybe it's better that the buds might face pens instead. Or nobody at all.

No idea how that OKC buzzer beater went in yesterday from half court. The guy was not even trying. Best def of a Hail Mary.
