    The Dirty Dozen – 12 Days of Disney, Drinks & Dining - Updated 2/26

    We've lost some really interesting reviewers over the past 5 years or so. I know JABEAD used to post a few times a year but now only posts on her own blog and it's sporadic. There was another woman that used to travel frequently with her daughter and she's been gone for a while too.

    slo’s FRIDAY 2/16 poll - Birnbaum Books 📚

    I used to get them all of the time because they were pretty much the only source of Disney World info in the early internet days. I still have them but no longer buy them because there are so many better sources of WDW info on-line.

    The Worst Fast Food Restaurant in Each State (as of 2023)

    I call bull$hit! Checkers is supposedly the worst for PA but there are only 5 of them in the entire state!

    A Holiday Signature trip - 20DEC23-1JAN24

    Thanks for the reviews. I've been seeing quite a few people saying that SH71 is no longer the gem it once was. That's too bad.

    Quick BDay Celebration Sep 23 - YC/BC, Takumi-Tei, Homecomin' (DONE 1/5)

    I think I'm with you in the minority on Homecomin'. I find it is just way too heavy for hot Florida weather! Loved your reviews!

    Toledo's?

    Wow. That's so disappointing to hear. I hope your waiter was the exception and not how they're now behaving to solo diners. I've done solo dining a lot at Disney and it was never a problem.

    YouTube

    I wish YouTube would actually LISTEN when I click on Don't Recommend This Channel! Day after day I continue to get the same videos from creators that I don't want to watch! As far as the continuity issue, I haven't seen anything change yet.

    slo’s TUESDAY 12/26 poll - Putting Away Christmas Decorations

    My sister leaves her decorations up until Epiphany as well because that's when the Magi get there. I tell her if the Magi wanted to see the decorations they needed to move a bit faster! My decorations are always down by NYD because I'm so ready for spring and warm weather!

    Day Planners

    I still use my paper planner; I have the refillable monthly format. I don't need to track at a daily or weekly level but like having the full month in one place. Plus I use the address book section because there are addresses I want to have on file but don't need to clog up my phone with them.

    Harry's Holidays

    It seems like every weekend there's a HP marathon on somewhere! If it's not HP then it will be a Star Wars or Marvel marathon.

    New Feature! Ignore Thread

    I think it's a great idea! Now can you do something about allowing really old threads to be resurrected? Maybe flash a warning to the poster that they're about to reply to a thread that was started more than 3 years ago or 5 years or something AND hasn't had any other activity for more than a...

    Internet romance scam

    My mother is in her 90s and she's always getting messages from men who pretend to be ex-military who want to get to know her. After the first one where she communicated back and forth via messenger with the guy. He kept asking her to get a google email; thankfully she didn't. I now monitor her...

    Christmas breakfast ideas

    Creme Brulee French Toast...the recipe is on Allrecipes. I like this because you make it the day before and just pop it in the oven in the morning. I add chopped pecans and fresh raspberries (to make it healthy :)).

    slo’s THURSDAY 11/9 poll - Cooking 🧑‍🍳

    Every friggin' day and I don't enjoy it. I would be happy with crackers and cheese but my 91 year old mother expects something cooked. As soon as I get done with one meal she's asking me what I'm making for the next one!

    Costco, BJs, Sam's Club - Do You Have a Preference (Discussion)

    I have all three. We used to only have Costco which was about 45 minutes away. Then Sam's Club opened and it's only 20 minutes away. I don't think the lines get crazy busy like Costco does. I haven't used my Costco membership in over a year. Part of it is because I can't do shipping from...

    Resort Package Delivery - Will it ever come back?

    Not having the package delivery is a major negative to me. There's no way I would buy everything I would normally buy then cart it back to my hotel on a bus. And definitely a hard no to shopping at the end of the night! I always hit the stores first thing in the morning so my shopping was...

    Shingles vaccine and timing

    My sister and her husband both felt crappy after the shots. I didn't suffer any side effects from mine. My arm wasn't even sore; although the nurse told me to rub my arm after she gave the shot because that sometimes help to dissipate the pain afterwards. Good luck!

    when do you put christmas lights up......?

    My nephew bought lights last year that stay up all year and you can change the color based on the holiday being celebrated. So his are up year-round but you don't see them from the street like the old-fashioned kind of lights.

    slo’s MONDAY 10/23 poll - Jury Duty

    I didn't receive my first summons until I was in my 50s. I sat in the jurors waiting room all morning and they settled the case so we were let go. The second time I did the "call the night before you're supposed to report" routine and it was cancelled. My dad was always annoyed that he...
