    Anyone watch the Disney salute on TCM today?

    I don't have cable so I couldn't watch it. I was wondering if someone could post what the content of the show was. I'm curious if they are playing what has already been released, like Davy Crockett, or if there was new stuff

    Ridiculous things people told you when you were little..

    My dad told my brother's friend that before technicolor the world was black and white like you see in old movies. He said that's why older people have grey hair.

    How often do you have to take

    Just when I was hired. They may be able to do randoms but I have never heard of anyone doing one. I heard they are not doing them for people they are hiring for seasonal work this year. In Fl you have to take one if you were involved in an accident. They were giving out free flu shots at...

    Wanted all cruisers!!

    I just wanted to say that since you are in Philly, you can look for cruises out on NY. When I lived in CT, I took 2 cruises out on NY. One to Canada and one to the Caribbean. I don't know how long the drive from Philly to NY is but I know i drove there from CT and it wasn't too bad. That way you...

    If I apply for 2 credit cards within a month, will that lower my credit score?

    From what I understand, every time a company checks your credit, like when you apply for a card it affects your score. Also part of the score is your average length of credit history so if you had your card for 18 months and open a new one you average length would be 9 months. It also takes...

    One decision in your life

    Not really my decision but.... My parents decided that instead of taking weekend trips to different areas we should keep our trailer at one place and camp seasonally. We ended up camping there for 20 years. I met both of my best friends there. One when I was 10 and one when I was 18. In...

    Anyone else feel like this?

    My dad cooked dinner every night. My mom did most of the cleaning and my brother and I helped out too. When my dad passed away, 8 years ago today actually, we ate a lot of eggs for dinner or cereal or salad or anything else that you didn't really cook. We survived. My brother and I are on our...

    Orange is the New Black

    I watched the first season last October when my mom was visiting. At first she said she wasn't interested but after a couple episodes she was hooked. Now I told her that I wouldn't watch the second season until I go visit her in July, so we can watch together. I hope I can hold out that long.

    SOmeone was at my door at 4AM

    My dad was an alcoholic. More than once the police found him passed out in his car in a random parking lot. He would be drunk enough that they took him to a hospital. He was never charged with DUI or anything. They said it was because they couldn't prove he was drinking when he drove the car...

    Can you use someone else's FP+?

    I went with friends last January. We were staying offsite so we couldn't make FP+ reservations in advance and we didn't get to the park until 11am. So the earliest time we could get for Soarin was 5pm. The kids were acting up so my friends left early. I took their tickets and found a couple who...

    Do you know your spouses passwords?

    When my dad passed away nobody knew his AOL password and let me tell you it was a huge PITA to cancel it. My mom even tried to just cancel the credit card he had set up for automatic bill pay and they wouldn't let her cancel the card. Finally I think we had to send in a death certificate. My...

    Did my homework on lent and have a question

    I have a friend who always gives up something interesting for lent. I am not sure he does so for religious reason or just does it to "better" himself and uses this time to do it. I have never heard him talk about religion any other time. One year he gave up the internet. We kept sending him...

    How crowded was the 24 hour party last year?

    I was there last year. I got there around 7pm and stayed until 6am. It was pretty crowded until about midnight. After that the lines were not too bad. I know around 12 was when a lot of our group left and I almost went with them. Im glad I stayed because soon after I got a second wind and had a...

    Has anyone moved to FL away from family and regretted it?

    I moved to Florida 3 and a half years ago. I love it. I have a friend that I have known for 15 years who lives about 3 miles from me so I was ahead of the game with meeting people. My friend did have her own family, friends and work so there were still a lot of times where I wanted to do stuff...
