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.

I made it through the first OT period in the blues game... decided I'd watch 5 minutes of the second if I had everything ready to go for my flight this morning.
I made it upstairs and my friend texted me "woohoo!"... I missed the win by like... a minute of play?

Pro Parenting Tips from WTME - 3rd Installment
When your almost teenage daughter asks how great she sounds playing the tenor sax she has practiced for at least 12 hours of her life, she does not actually want an honest answer nor does she want any helpful tips. One should liken this question to your spouse asking "how do I look in this outfit?"
She'll stop crying eventually and then we can all go along blissfully ignoring the dying goose in the basement.

[left @24left and yyznomad return to the east
it was fun on the island, especially with the main feast
The trip was short
With MLL food to snort
Their final flight of the weekend was on a 773, what a beast!

Oh? Seems like I just missed you two... I'm also on island time regularly, with lovely views of the parliament building.
