    Don't you feel iffy when people put letters after their name?

    If someone uses letters in a non-professional setting, they just appear pretentious or somehow trying to impress others. Even people who are 'engineers' who have an engineering degree where I work have never used letters on the end of their name in something like company emails/letters. There...

    slo’s THURSDAY 3/28 poll - Easter Lilies

    I can recall my parents having them in the past for Easter. I believe they were commonly sold at the grocery stores but don't see them as often now. Most plants raised in the perfect environment of a greenhouse tend to not do well in your home. Planting them outside after the holiday has...

    Wells Fargo savings/checking promos - any opinions?

    I bank with Wells Fargo and have been very pleased. Started using them a few years ago when relocating and the prior bank I was using didn't have locations where I was moving. That issue they had a few years ago where some employees were creating multiple accounts to meet some business goal...

    Changing my Login Name

    I don't believe you can 'change' your user name on an existing profile. Are you going to be like some others on here who create multiple accounts so they can have discussions with each other or try to make some opinion they have seem more popular?..............LOL.

    Where Can We Find Solar Eclipse Glasses (Not Online)?

    I would suspect the demand would be greatest in the areas where the eclipse can be seen. I doubt anyone would be looking for them in a state that won't see the eclipse, so those stores wouldn't stock them. Many local stores in those viewing areas are selling them and have heard local libraries...

    Best Time to Buy Flights (MORNING)

    Cost of flights generally go up as more of the less expensive seats are sold. Then you are left with higher priced seats and/or less desirable travel times. I would also imagine the non-stop flights go faster and then you are left with flights involving connections which means a longer travel...

    AYCTE Opinion Question- What do YOU think?

    It is tacky for someone to stuff large amounts of food to carry away with them and really isn't the intent or spirit of such places. Clearly this person has to know what they are doing is inappropriate. I agree as someone else mentioned, it is generally so hot at Disney, unless you immediately...

    Be our Guest lack of value.

    We ate at BOG under the old menu for lunch. It was our first time there and never saw what some are so amazed about. Seemed like an odd mish/mash of QS &TS and the food was just average. I think some have described it as a fancy cafeteria which was our impression as well. With that pricey...

    Family Tree Difficulties--When Women Didn't Matter (slight rant)

    I would imagine states kept birth/death records manually and this was long before anyone ever heard of the internet. Trying to manually update those records was a HUGE issue and likely they never had the means to do that in any sort of practical way. Clearly the technology has evolved and I...

    American Idol 2024

    Seems the show's producers are always trying to do things a bit different. Not sure it always pans out. Sounded like next week in Hollywood there will some differences in how the competition will work. Virtually all of the participants need experience in how to perform to a large audience...

    Deciding on DDP

    I doubt any of the currently offered dining plans save you money. I think the main benefit for Disney is you are less likely to eat off-site somewhere if all of your meals are pre-paid to a Disney restaurant. Generally, the main benefit is that you are pre-paying for your meals. Some like to...

    American Idol 2024

    Yes, it seems there is plenty of NEW talent to look for and no need to recycle someone from a prior show. The rules apparently indicate if you were top 10 then you can't apply again, but seems the producers bend various rules for any number of reasons. That guy from Australia is an example...

    Which resort has the best standard room?

    "Best" is very subjective and mostly a matter of personal preference & budget.

    Coin Spinoff

    The times I traveled on business to Germany, I always went to my local bank ahead of time to get some paper currency for small purchases. MUCH better to do that ahead of time prior to traveling to avoid lousy exchange rates in many places. My bank will let you cash in paper money when you...

    Disney Springs restaurants at MCO?

    Sounds similar to another recent thread I recall seeing. I have never found any restaurant in any airport to be that great it would be worth the hassle/time to go to a different terminal. Unless you have HOURS to waste waiting for your flight, going through separate security and the long...

    Chemicals in pools

    If you have some sort of skin sensitivity to a specific pool chemical (i.e. chlorine vs. bromine) I would think it be safer to not use the pool. Know friends who have an in-ground pool and they can use either chemical based on what is available. Often, those chemicals are used interchangeably...

    Does booking room through TA save money?

    For the typical Disney hotel room, I would not expect to get a lower price than you can find on your own using the official Disney website. Once you work with a TA, you can no longer call Disney directly if you have to discuss something about your reservation. As it relates to Disney...

    A Mini Reservations Rant

    Last time we went to Disney we did the entire reservation online @ the Disney website and never needed to talk with anyone to make the actual reservation. I agree with others that the skill/interest level of the Disney phone people is ALL over the map. If you get someone who has no idea what...

    Russian Terror Attack - Forecasted?

    I am sure there is always a lot of 'chatter' from terrorist groups threatening to do this/that. Most of it is just talk unless the intelligence community has enough actionable specifics to go and arrest those involved. AFTER something bad happens, is it fairly easy to blame the 'failure' of...

    Easter Dinner

    I think any Holiday meal can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. Make things people enjoy and don't spend all your time in the kitchen so you miss out on the Holiday. Many grocery stores now sell really good spiral sliced hams. It is way easier to serve if pre-sliced that way...
