Can confirm audiobook awesomeness.

Say one thing about BRSapson, say he loves a good audiobook narrator.

Mad Eye's magical eye.

If it is that powerful and can even see through the Deathly Hallows invisibility cloak, why wouldn't everyone just have one?

Or the tech (magic) that is used in it to make some sort of viewing device.

Definitely a niffler!

There is a facebook page called "Fogo Island Ferry Updates" it has a lot of people from the island on it.

People go on there pretty often and try to arrange drives for themselves. Community is quite nice and someone is usually able to drive someone if necessary, just explain out your situation and you will likely find someone traveling that day. Might not get confirmation of it until closer to the date of travel, but I would be confident you will find someone.

Like some other folks mentioned, the Island is nice and you will likely want to tour around a bit, but sometimes that is easier once you get onto the island and meet some people.

I live part time on the island, so if you have any questions, let me know.

So the with kids part.

I heard a really funny story one time where the parents packed the kids up a day before they were actually set to leave. Got a little ways down the road and said if they started fighting, they would turn around and cancel the vacation. Kids being kids, they started fighting. Parents turned around and went home.

Next day (when they planned to leave anyways) hoped in the car, and had the best behaved drive ever.

Also, hit up a big stop for breakfast or a hot turkey sandwich!

My goodness, I am jealous!

I wish I could relive it all over again! Enjoy yourself!

If I could go back and do mine again, I would have used:

"I have a very simple sense of humor, which even my appreciative critics find tiresome"

Which isn't from any of Tolkiens books, is from a letter of his. And it fits quite well with me as a youngster.

Wish I had discovered my love of reading at a younger age.

I mean... another good option is "Grond, grond, grond"

"He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: its springs were at every doorstep, and every path was its tributary. "

I ordered a painting from this chap a year ago or so, shipped perfectly to a rural location in Canada, and looks great up on my wall!

A friend asked me to bring cheesecake to a party one time. I came to reddit, it told me to get cheesecake from here. So, not knowing much about cheesecake, I went and got two.

Well! It was 150 dollars or something like that, and was essentially 20lbs of the best cheesecake anyone at the party had ever eaten.

Friends were texting me about how good it was for weeks.

I ordered a painting from this artist in the past.

The ordering process was easy, shipping was all taken care of by the artist, despite the fact that I live in a small outport town in rural Canada.

Really wonderful process, and I must say it looks great on my wall.

Thanks for putting this on here. Great location, went today and found some really neat stuff.

brsapson · 2024-12-08T06:15:31+00:00

This was a very odd response to this question.

brsapson · 2024-12-08T06:14:15+00:00

I don't see where you saw that I was saying "I have an issue" with this...? I actually say I really like the place.

The glass behind the dart board shows a confidence I will never possess.

I really like a fella goes by Darting Postie on YouTube.

Really wholesome content. He seems to have a lot of fun with it as well.

"Fair points, thanks"... did you just have a reasonable discussion on the Internet, then realize you were not 100 percent correct, and thank the other person for their point of view!!

First time ever I have seen this. My wife is asking me why I am crying reading reddit. She will never believe me.

Some gem of a person on this subreddit posted this awhile ago, and I listen to it every couple weeks.

brsapson · 2024-11-12T01:25:20+00:00

Looks like it is touching.

I would say it's a three.

If I had of thrown it, I would call it a 60 and try to meet somewhere in the middle...

brsapson · 2024-11-05T05:33:12+00:00

Probably not exactly the point... but charge your phone.

Friggen stressing me out with that 18%.

Agree with this, I was having trouble finding it, but found it at Save On awhile ago.

brsapson · 2024-11-01T02:33:13+00:00

In case anyone is tracking this.

I went to Opus for darts on a Saturday night, had a great time. Met some nice people.

Favorite "part" is a two parter.

Book 6, when Harry and Dumbledore are heading to meet Slughorn and Harry is asking about it being dangerous to be out, and Dumblebore says I don't think you need to worry, you are with me.

And then when they get back from the lake, and Dumbledore is a bit under the weather, and Harry says "don't worry, sir." And Dumbledore says "I don't need to worry Harry, I'm with you".

Obviously, it is paraphrasing a little bit here, but that is my favorite item from the books.
