    Westchester woman charged with domestic violence after slapping husband at Disney World

    Expected this zombie had come to life with the current story about the fight involving moms at Disneyland with strollers and children.

    Has concerts gotten more expensive now these days?

    It's Live Nation Concert Week. $25 tickets are available for a long list of artists this summer -- NKOTB was included on that list @Skippy918. Pink, Maroon 5 and plenty of others were also listed. Interestingly last year I had seen a few articles regarding Bruce Springsteen's tour and the...

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/30 poll - Whipped Cream vs Cool Whip

    Only whipped cream. In this case it's so easy to avoid the chemicals I can't imagine why I would even consider something else.

    Has concerts gotten more expensive now these days?

    In general recording artists don't make much money from the selling of their albums anymore anyway. The record labels usually take the lions' share. Most artists make their $$$ from touring.

    What was YOUR first Disney trip like?

    I love the "Losing Mom at Disneyland" story, hilarious and sweet. That would be a family classic in our house.

    Harvey Weinstein's conviction has been overturned

    Generally there's a time limit on filing an appeal, and this would be well out of bounds of ordinary limits. The only thing I could guess is there is already an appeal on file and they will now amend to include this issue.

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    Hoping I can convince DH to grill some burgers, or turkey burgers, or portobello burgers, truly don't care. Just don't have it in me to do much beyond a quick slaw and steaming some broccoli tonight.

    What was YOUR first Disney trip like?

    We took our oldest daughter for her first visit when the castle looked like this. I shake my head just thinking about how it looked. How in the world did that get the greenlight? Honestly seemed like the castle was away on vacation or something that whole trip and we got stuck with the kooky...

    What was YOUR first Disney trip like?

    Thinking about the trip also brought this first memory back to mind -- riding in on the monorail and being so surprised by all the topiaries scattered around the lawn. Where else would you ride a monorail and the shrubbery looked like an entire zoo? Absolutely jawdropping how detailed the...

    What was YOUR first Disney trip like?

    Summer of '72. Walked into MK and started leading my parents around. Despite never having been there it all felt familiar the moment we came through the tunnels. Must have really absorbed a lot from a WDW special on TV and was able to use it to navigate. It was a great trip. I remember how...

    Harvey Weinstein's conviction has been overturned

    I was actually referring to the financial costs in regard to the decision to retry. Trying cases is expensive. Trying a case like this is astronomical. It's a certainty that the state will also be picking up all of his costs on a new trial as well, along with the costs of bringing him to NY...

    Solo Amtrak travel

    The Rocky Mountaineer is mapped out for just this option, which is why it appeals for us. The route allows you to sit back and enjoy the scenery, often vistas you can only get on the train, and then you are stopped at a hotel for the night.

    Harvey Weinstein's conviction has been overturned

    Definitely understand where you're coming from. Unfortunately I realize that this is a case that will expend extreme resources on a retry and the choice impacts many, many other cases. I would not want to have to choose between those horrible options.

    Harvey Weinstein's conviction has been overturned

    It will be interesting if they decide to devote the (considerable) resources to try the case again. Such a shame that things weren't handled cleanly in the first case. Such an ordeal for the victims.

    Why are Americans so charming?

    I've had lots of good experiences with the Brits visiting the U.S. being quite enjoyable fellow travelers, at Disney and other destinations on several occasions.

    Thoughts on the changes WDW/DL are making to the DAS pass?

    IMO it's partially been driven by corporate greed, partially by what I consider questionable decisions to prop up other divisions by using the parks (largely WDW) as the funding mechanism. Businesses need to make a profit to stay alive. Businesses grow and remain profitable by moving $$...

    Thoughts on the changes WDW/DL are making to the DAS pass?

    Ah, clearly should have been obvious. Thank you. Seems reasonable. Allows families to still experience things together without bogging things down unreasonably if someone wanted to claim their mailman, their long-lost pen pal, etc. should get to join in. Definitely see them allowing for...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    My daughters are both very into making these, usually tilting heavily to the Korean style. I've tried a couple and they've been quite tasty. Tonight I'm trying out a new recipe for Tilapia fish cakes where you first bake the fish, then flake it and mix with other ingredients and brown in a...

    Thoughts on the changes WDW/DL are making to the DAS pass?

    I don't understand what the bold refers to? Sorry for being clueless, sometimes I just need someone to tell it to me like I'm five.
