    If you were building a new home, what would be your must haves?

    probably already mentioned, but: 1. Multiple electrical outlets do not matter unless they are on different circuits. Therefore if you are wanting multiple outlets in a room, or outside, etc., if they are all on the same 15-20amp circuit, all you get from all of the outlets is 15-20amp. Divide...

    Switch to Flex fuel (E85) or Unleaded 88 (E15)

    I had a flex fuel Suburban, and DW still has a flex tahoe. I did use the E85 in the Suburban at times. the 20% price difference is fairly accurate. If the E85 is not at least 20% less than the unleaded your price per mile with E85 is more expensive. My guess, with unleaded at 4.00, E85 needs...

    Spring break overdose cases - including four Cadets from West Point

    It is a mistake. Even at the Academies, there are students who either come from a background that is conducive to mistakes, or, notwithstanding their ability to get in, succeed, etc., are susceptible to doing stupid things once in a while. Unfortunately, it is something that will follow...

    Hawaii Tourism Not Starting Up Until Late Summer

    It is absolutely crazy what Hawaii is doing. They have less cases than a major metropolitan area, in fact they have less cases than the county I live in, but have double the people. There virus rate is something like 7 10,000's of a percent. The economy is toast. There is some thought that...

    Coronavirus Poll - Are you still going or.....

    we had a quick 4 day trip planned for the end of this week but cancelled it at the end of last week, as DW would not be happy every time someone in line coughed, which of course means all of us would have non happy thoughts. So, we are doing a couple other places, hopscotching with United from...

    Things are going missing...our house is up for sale

    we have never allowed a realtor to either hand a key box on our door, or, allow anyone into the house without an appointment and without us there. While it is somewhat time consuming for the seller, it did not hamper the sale. I would immediately inform the realtor. They should have a record...

    VA Upper class

    I fly a lot. I have gotten past the things people do or what people ask. But, I will say that I will usually--usually--change if there is a young child that needs to sit next to a parent as long as the seat I am moving to is similar. But, with some constraints. If it is just so some couple...

    Auto Insurance Recommendations

    Have used USAA for almost 30 years. Very happy with them. And, to ship vehicles to hawaii and other places, and have cover during shipping and during the time "away from home", there can't be anyone who is better. But, again, USAA is a closed membership, although it really is open to a lot of...

    Help Alaskan cruise

    we have done Alaska twice, both with Princess, and both one way. As a result, my opinion is not well rounded, but, I agree with the posts that recommend one way. If we were going to do this again, we would go Princess again.

    Lack of crowds and Disney's response

    Just my .02, but, why get excited to ride one attraction, and that attraction is one which looks like it is geared toward the front two seats, with the remainder at the whims of the front. Totally an attraction that really has no pull for me, even though i enjoy the Star Wars universe. When...

    Spinoff: Favorite Airport?

    agree that Hong Kong is nice. Istanbul has an amazing club (although the last time i was there was about 6 weeks before the attack (2-3 years ago maybe?) But, I like Munich. Has a biergarden!

    High School Class of 2016/College Class 2020

    Wow. I haven't posted on this thread since June 2017. How time gets away. Two DS now in college and empty nesting. It really is nice; although it does feel empty at times. DS1 in class of 2020 is somewhere in the East and South China Sea areas. Having been to Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Bintulu...

    Gym to workout?

    The gym(s) at the deluxe are not really designed for weight training. The GF, the Poly, The Cont. all have "gyms" but they are designed for more cardio/executive health type work outs. You will find nothing there to work with if you are on a lifting program. And, while the Cont. seems to have...

    Pearl Harbor questions...

    If it makes you comfortable, then order online. But, you do not need a tour to see PH, and you do not need pre purchased tickets. As others have said, 1300 are reserved for distribution every day. Since the memorial is closed, and the boat ride is currently just a drive by, I doubt you will...

    1 Day In Manhattan

    9/11 then statute of liberty, maybe lunch at Fraunces tavern, just to say you have been there, especially if you are a revolutionary war or George Washington buff. That will cover the time you have. 9/11 should take a couple hours. Statute and Ellis Island takes 2-3 hours. Lunch. Then time...

    Vehicle comfortable for 7 adults?

    don't know about the 80's. The height space of the current cargo areas are less with fold down seats as opposed to the seats you had to pull out. and gumbo. right-o. 5.3. brain dead here.
