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, 2018 edition and 2019 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.

Upon further reflection, I've decided that I'm okay with killer hornets:

For those who dropped off the Do before getting to see the finished cookies last Saturday...
Bohemian1 , I watched Grizzly Man yesterday. (You were the one who brought it up when I was stuck in quarantine up in the mountains, weren't you?) Very interesting film.

Our CO2 unexpectedly ran out last night. We are consuming much more of it than usual these days.
Unfortunately, our supplier is out until "early next week".
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I may even have to cancel the do.

You may have to start enjoying your rum straight up, or on the rocks.

It's science fair time! So break out the NaHCO3 and CH3COOH and start making some CO2 at home.
Oddly enough, I have a bottle of acetic acid.
Okay, maybe not so odd, but I doubt I could ship it down to you in time. Or across a border even.
Do you like Old Fashioneds?
