    slo’s THURSDAY 3/28 poll - Easter Lilies

    I’m with you. They give me a headache so I don’t have them in my house. But I don’t think they are that pretty either, so I don’t miss them. I usually buy my mom and MIL potted tulips for Easter instead.

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/27 poll - Weighted Blanket

    I have a weighted blanket. I enjoy it for naps, and I do find it comforting, but I don't like to sleep under it all night. I toss/turn too much and the weighted blanket makes me feel like I'm trapped and ends up waking me up. My daughter (19) has one and loves it. She uses it to sleep and...

    slo’s TUESDAY 3/26 poll - Sour Patch Kids

    Sour Patch Kids are just okay to me. I’ll have one now and then but can easily resist them. However, they’re both my [adult] kids’ favorite. There are sour patch bunnies in Easter Baskets this year.

    Easter Dinner

    We're going to my in-laws' for breakfast on Easter morning. I think it'll be normal breakfast fare (bacon, eggs, waffles maybe.) We're going to my parents' in the afternoon. I grew up with traditional easter dinner (ham, etc) but it was never a favorite and my niece has particular food...

    what time were you in bed for on a school night?

    I remember this too. Up until 8th grade, my parents made me/us (I'm the oldest), go to bed at 8pm, even in the summer. At 8pm in the summer, it's still light out! It gradually got later, but even by late high school, if I wasn't ready for bed by 10pm on a school night, I got a lecture about time...

    slo’s FRIDAY 3/22 poll - Seafood Tacos 🌮

    Other: I have never had seafood tacos, but I do have an opinion of them. I do not think I would like them because I do not like any kind of seafood. Fridays during Lent were torture (and it's not like I "need meat" to have a good meal... there are plenty of vegetarian dishes I like just...

    slo’s THURSDAY 3/21 poll - Saving Coins 💰

    When we first got married (25 years ago), my husband saved coins, but I did not. I spent mine as I received them. At some point, he ended up counting/rolling the coins and taking them to the bank. He considered them his "fun money" (which, I didn't think was quite fair in the first place. How...

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/20 poll - Disney Parks Snacks 🥨 🍦🍗

    We were in WDW for my daughter's birthday last year. Instead of a birthday dinner she wanted "all the snacks." We tried the cheeseburger spring rolls for the first time. I thought they sounded gross, but they were surprisingly good!

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/20 poll - Disney Parks Snacks 🥨 🍦🍗

    Mickey Bar gets my vote, mostly for nostalgia reasons. It's not a trip to Disney World without a Mickey Bar. I've never gotten the hype about the pineapple dole whip. It's... okay. I had the orange/vanilla from Sunshine Seasons on our trip last year and I liked that a lot better. I guess...

    slo’s MONDAY 3/18 poll - Eye Color 👀

    Mine are boring brown, but they're a darker brown than a lot of other brown eyes, I think.

    Why being a kid sucks

    Ah yes, when I was young I remember thinking that being an adult would be so carefree! In some ways it is: my kids have never eaten tuna-noodle casserole or meatloaf because I swore I'd never eat them again. But... ugh. Adulthood comes with neverending chores (like having to figure out something...

    Pi Day Poll

    My work does "Pi a Partner." Each partner chooses a charity -- employees can put donations in a box. They have been collecting donations for the last week. The partner whose charity earns the most money gets a pie in the face today. Then, at least last year, there was company-supplied pie in the...

    Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix)

    I've had both doses (and a case of shingles prior to getting the vaccine). I remember my arm being pretty sore from the shot, but no other big side effects. My husband got his and swore he was dying... but he can be a baby about stuff like that.

    What are you planning to do for St. Patrick's Day?

    I will probably wear something green, but aside from that, nothing. I do have Irish ancestry.

    What can you see from your work office window?

    I can't see a window from my desk at work (there are walls blocking any I could see). If I walk to an area with a window, I still wouldn't be able to see a lot though... just the parking lot and the back of the shops that face the adjacent street.

    slo’s FRIDAY 3/8 poll - Artichokes

    I’ve only bought fresh ones once. They were a pain to clean and not that good so I haven’t made that recipe again. But I buy the pickled artichoke hearts in a can/jar pretty regularly. Those are good in salads, spinach/artichoke dip, etc.

    Poll: Disboards, how often do you view my soccer threads?

    I think they'd seem more like "different topics" if it was a soccer-themed board. On a Disney-related board, it seems like a LOT of soccer-themed threads, so I ignore most. I realize this is the Community section where off-topic conversations are allowed, so I acknowledge you are allowed to...

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/6 poll - Phone Tracking 📲

    Same here. We are all connected but I generally don't "stalk" anyone. My 19-year old is commuting to college this semester, so I will check to make sure she made it to campus if the roads are icy... or I'll look to see if she's on her way home yet. I also agreed that if I am tracking them, I'll...
