Ten Forward Lounge - Miscellaneous General Chat & Welcome Thread

They let me out again for a while. I thought I'd drop by for my yearly visit.

 

One of the cinemas we used to use (before it closed) had assigned seating but the one that we use now doesn't.

At the one that did have assigned seating, they did not ask you for your preferred seat. They did at least keep the family together (if you turned up early enough anyway). Otherwise, it was a case of, you'll go where we put you. (On the upside, one of our friends was usually also the one selling the tickets when we got there )

I think one of our local cinemas (new build) does it too, but they're much more expensive and slightly more difficult to get to.

 

Howdy! This is the perfect day for reappearances!

 

Okay, this is weird. I was replacing two AAA batteries in my remote, and the replacement AAA batteries are... too small to stay in place? When I compare the old and the new, they appear to be identical. But obviously the new ones are must be a fraction smaller because they fall right out and thus no charge. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

 

Weird. Maybe the prior ones are actually AAAA? I’d never heard of them but after some cursing and squinting I discovered one of the remotes uses batteries I had to buy online because no local retailers carried AAAAs

 

No, these are definitely all AAA batteries. Different brand though.

 

Gaaaah. How frustrating!

 

Can you stretch that little springy contact thing?

 

Happy Mother's Day!

 

wb, Vert. And welcome to all newbies , particularly to all mothers, fathers, single parents or single grandparents.

 

I'd like to welcome my real-life spouse, Mrs. Silvercrest, to the BBS. I've been bugging her for years about getting on here and she finally agreed. Everyone please make her feel welcome.

 

If she's a Star Trek fan & been avoiding us, then shame on her. lol Just kidding. Welcome aboard

Now it's too late for you

 

Hi, this is Me. I don't know what I am doing. I don't really do much on computers just face book. But that is mainly to keep track of what my friends and family are doing. So this is way different. Please bear with me. I really don't want to say anything wrong on here. I do enjoy Sci-Fi and Marvel Movies. I love cats we have a very demanding one! I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the things on here I have read and such. So don't know when I will feel like answering someone.

 

So, you're keeping tabs on the hub? Good for you!

 

Welcome Mrs. Silvercrest. Have fun.

 

Welcome! Don't worry about saying anything wrong, just be careful about Spoilers and you'll be ok.

 

The couple that Treks together stays together! Welcome to you both!

 

Welcome, Mrs. Silvercrest!

There are a lot of cat-lovers here (we even have a thread that's all about cats). So feel free to pick a conversation and join in. We're all fans of something, so chances are good that you'll find plenty of people with whom you have interests in common.
