    HELP!!! Disneyland Hotels/Transportation/Tickets Advice

    For only the 2nd time, my mom, sister and I are headed to Disneyland. This is part of a longer vacay up the Cali coast. I was looking at vacation packages on the website, but was wondering if it would be cheaper to book hotel and tickets separately or should I stick with the package? Also, we'd...

    CKC Nashville

    I'll be there volunteering (as will my mom). I will be at Pre-Registration on Thursday evening and will be a teacher's assistant Friday and Saturday evenings. I can't wait!! I've never volunteered before. It says if you volunteer 3-4 hours you can get 50% off of one of the classes. I want to...

    Tell me about Groupon

    I think you can sign up for as many cities as you want. I live in Nashville so I get those, but I'm also always going to Atlanta and Chicago, so I signed up for those as well. Be careful of the expiration dates though. I just got a Groupon for a movie tour in Chicago and before I bought it...

    I need help! Who lives near Nashville?

    I've lived in Nashville my entire life. If you want to be closer to Nashville, but still not live IN the city, look into the Donelson/Hermitage area. It's an older area, but very nice. Houses are very reasonable in this area as well. I agree with Mt. Juliet and Murfreesboro, however, both are...

    Tax credits for energy efficient home improvements?

    I was told that you also had to make sure everything was installed by December 31st, not just bought. I bought some energy efficient window treatments and 2 storm doors and had to fight it out with Home Depot to have them installed on New Year's Eve. :confused3

    Purchasing a MAC. Update post #48

    I am "dittoing" everything they said and adding one more thing. I don't know where you live (it probably said, but I didn't pay attention), but if you live in a state where they have a "tax-free weekend", that's the best time to get a computer. I am a teacher so I got the education discount...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    I do have an energy monitor.. and I have NO idea what it means. LOL!! I know I should sit down and figure it out, but I really haven't had much time to do that. It's quite confusing and even after reading through the manual once, I had no clue. Does anyone have a Beazer home and can explain...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    Thank you for that article!! I never knew that. However, there's only a 6 degree difference max that I change it. I might just keep it at 68 when I'm here and 65 when I'm gone. I've noticed my dogs hanging out upstairs this week (I'm home on vacation), so I'm wondering if 62 is too cold for...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    Well, I know it was switched to my name on 11/19 cause I did that myself. After reading a lot of these responses, I WISH I had 2 different units for each level, but I guess for 1200 sq. ft, they didn't feel it necessary. I guess I should look on the bright side, at this rate, I should have a...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    Huh... I hadn't really thought of that! Why would they make programmable thermostats then if that's going to use more energy? (Just a hypothetical) I think I'm going to try what I'm doing now (now that I have window treatments and storm doors coming in this week) and see if it goes down any...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    I hope I cover all of the replies. :) Yes, it's brand new construction. I'm the 1st person to live here and I know the attic is insulated. I had my own personal inspector come to make sure everything was ok here. I hadn't thought about the meter reading though. I would think they'd read it just...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    Yes, true, but I hardly use any lights, just mainly lamps around the house and I only use CFLs (CFLs are the ONLY thing in this house.. another Beazer feature). About the only thing running consistently is the refrigerator, and maybe TV (for a few hours). I just wonder if I'm doing something...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    There is a connection fee. I did forget to mention that. The transfer fee was $15, so the actual bill was $239, still WAY too high in my opinion. The person who said to check the billing cycle. I had it switched over on the 19th (my closing date) because otherwise, Beazer would turn it off...

    Just a lil worry: Electric Bill

    Well, I just bought my first house in November. I didn't get to live here for the 1st 2 weeks, so the thermostat wasn't programmed and it was unbelievably hot upstairs when I finally got here. (Oppressively hot!!!) All that to say, I got my electric bill Friday and it was $254. I nearly cried...

    Chefs de France restaurant at World Showcase?

    Well, we saw Remy JUST as we were walking out the door this past Friday and I stopped to take a quick picture with my phone and the lady with him actually held up the top a little longer for me to take a better picture!! (The 1st one was blurry). So maybe you're not supposed to walk up to him...

    So has anyone eaten at La Hacienda during Illuminations and was it spectacular?

    We just ate at Les Chefs on Friday and absolutely loved it!! Our waiter, Pierre, was magnificent and the food (although too much) was delish!! :) What made it even better was that REMY was there!!! Definitely the highlight of that day!!!:cool1::cool1::cool1:

    Best furniture for the lowest price

    Kim, I had heard that too! I just wasn't sure if it was true. When it comes down to time to move, I'll keep that in mind. I also love IKEA and there's one in Atlanta, but I worry about the delivery price. I think there is a business here who goes to Atlanta to pick up stuff and brings it here...

    Best furniture for the lowest price

    I hope to be buying a home very soon, but I'm moving from my mom's house and I have no furniture at all. (Well, one nice chair, 2 barstools and some electronics..lol) I was wondering the best place to buy furniture for the best price. I'm a teacher, so I don't have a huge budget. I do need the...
