    What has happened to kids school lunches?

    Has anyone ever looked at the federal reimbursement rate for school lunches? For a student who qualifies for a free lunch in the lower 48 the reimbursement is $3.93. For a nonfree or reduced lunch its $0.37. That has not significantly increased in the past decade with free lunches in 2013...

    Teen Debit Card Suggestions?

    We use greenlight for my 13 year old daughters. When they start to drive we may add them as a user on our credit card just in case. Greenlight is easy to use and manage. I like that I can limit where they spend if needed (I have not had to do that yet.) They get a generous allowance each week...

    Sunscreen

    Blue Lizard. I am so fair I burn under florescent lights, but this is the only one that I have never burned using. It is a mineral sunscreen and you may look a bit white until its absorbed but so great.

    Mooch Family

    Unless he is loading a duffle bag up with leftover beer and food I wouldn't both. If he talks badly about what if provided say something like the grocery store is three blocks away if you want to get something more to your liking and leave it.

    Community College enrollment plunges, this can't be good

    In my district where I am on the BOE there is a huge increase in interest in Vo-Tech options in high school and beyond. A lot of kids that may have gone to CC may now go that route. My husband started at CC because he could not afford a four-year school. He ended up transferring with $$$ and...

    Solar paneled parking canopies

    Our bill is about $25 each month for electric. That's with an EV and a plug-in hybrid. We installed in the fall so we have not yet had the benefit of the full summer sun but also no ac but an electric heater in our office.

    Ever have a doctor treat you like an idiot?

    I had a pediatrician yell at me and threaten to have my 6 month old daughter discharged from the hospital where i had brought her after her lips turned blue and she was having difficulty breathing due to RSV. The hospitalist stepped in and told him she was her patient now and would not agree to...

    I’ve been using reusable bags by choice for over a decade and my state started bout six months ago requiring them. I have some for grocery shopping that I wash and some for clothes and non food shopping that I wash less frequently. I loved it during covid when Wegmans would allow scan and pack...

    Can you rent a car at MCO and return at WDW?

    You sure can. We have done this multiple times. The ccc will give you a ride back to your hotel after you drop off the car. Bell services can hold you packages/luggage if your room is not ready

    Painted brick?

    When we redid our exterior we removed all the brick that the previous owner had painted. The painting damaged the brick and led to water leaking behind it (we had repaired it over the years but it was constant upkeep) and eventually damaged the wall in the bedroom behind the brick. We also had...

    Passport question tinged with aggravation

    I got a passport card for me and my kids for domestic travel. My state is very far behind on real id so I just added it on. My kids are 13 so should not need anything but I like the idea that they will have some official id card just in case.

    Why did Macy's in New York make the choice to have people make reservations to meet Santa?

    The lines for Macys Santa pre-reservation were hours long and there was a crazy rush when the store opened. The reservations started pre Covid. I used to get them for my girls when they were young. All the malls near us have a reservation system for Santa. Some started after covid some before.

    AI that's not a "drunk fest"

    My husband and I have done sandals. We chose a smaller resort that tended to have an older demographic. I am sure some overindulged but they were a minority. I also liked that they took the no tipping thing seriously and it was nice to lock out wallets away unless we did an excursion or other...

    Just a rant about ungrateful relatives….

    No is a complete sentence. Or if you are feeling generous you can offer to see if you can find a reservation at a different dvc for the same amount of points including the extra days
