    Who has still NOT filed their taxes?

    I did the same thing. Usually do them around mid February, but just booted off this year until last week. Just couldn't get motivated to do it. Done and filed now though.

    August mornings..

    We were there the first week of August last year, and I gotta say "never again". We could only spend about 5 hours in the park before everyone was exhausted. Crowd levels were good, but even at rope drop we were already drenched with sweat. We went that week for free dining and the off season...

    Kona Steak?

    Mrs. Carl had the Ginger Crusted Ribeye, and it was about a 7.5 out of 10 for me. However I had the Coconut Almond Chicken and thought it was the best meal I had the whole week we were there.

    Areosmith Rockin Roller Coaster : Is this a good idea for 40 year olds?

    DW 42, DD 14, DS 10 and me 44 all thought it was the best ride we went on in all 4 parks. We went 3 times and were very impressed with the theming, smoothness, and overall experience of the ride.

    Cell Phone use in the car

    My Vote: Whats a cell phone? Got rid of mine 2 years ago, and haven't looked back. Don't miss it, and feel liberated from the constant pinging and ringing that my wife's phone does because people are sending her silly text's or whatever. We have a landline with voicemail, so anyone who want's...

    Recommended places for DDP Counter Service Meals

    The Good: Puck Express and Earl of Sandwich are 2 of the best IMO. We even got Earl for the ride home. The food court at Pop was really good for the most part. I also really liked the Italian sandwich at Pizzafari in AK, but the pizza tasted like nuked frozen pies. The Bad...

    Anyone really happy with your bank/credit union?

    Another vote for a Credit Union. We have accounts at 3 regular banks (Christmas and Vacation funds, etc.), but our daily accounts, loans and credit cards are with our local credit union. The rates are great, they know our name when we show up, and they offer every service I can get from a big...

    Tonga Toast

    We were there last month, and I made an ADR at Kona Cafe just to get the Tonga Toast. My expectations were high, but it exceeded even my wildest dreams. :cloud9: I can't wait to go back for more.

    Can you see on Rockin Rollercoaster?

    I notice that too that it is like you are flying above the city. Very cool effect. The theming both before, during and after is excellent. This was the whole family's favorite ride from all 4 parks on our recent trip. But it is really fast, dark and loud. You will see the theming they have done...

    How's the food at the sci -fi dine inn these days?

    I agree. I will just cut and paste the review I posted on wdwinfo: Sci Fi Dine In 2:20 pm. My kids wanted to do this since their generation is too young to really know what a drive in experience is like. I should have taken them to a drive in and saved my meal credit instead. The wait time to...

    Tell me about Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom

    I agree with patty, a Tea Cup rollercoaster is a good description, but it does jerk you around pretty good. I am a diehard thrill rider, and even I thought is was pretty violent in it's motion during sudden direction changes. This was my family's least favorite ride from all 4 parks on our...

    Question for the Ladies... tubal ligation

    I agree. I had a vas 8 years ago, and am glad we went that route. Was in the office for 20 minutes, and no problems right after or since. Cost me the $20 copay, and was easy enough I drove myself home after. That is the right way to go IMO. Much less invasive procedure and no recovery to speak of.

    No more Spectromagic?

    I've never seen Spectro, and am not a big parade fan, but MSEP was VERY COOL! I enjoyed it so much we watched it a second time later in the week.

    What money saving tips do you think are a bit extreme?

    We tried a few things on our recent trip to conserve cash. Some worked, some didn't. 1. We took a mini fridge with us. After buying refillable mugs, the fridge was worthless. The original intention was to take bottled water for the parks and chill it in the room. We found that using our...

    ok i confess i nap a little...

    We just got back 3 weeks ago, and it was mid 90's and 90%+ humidity every day. We hit "Carousel of Progress" in the middle of the afternoon, and even though it is dated, that ride has the best air conditioning on the planet. Anyway, after my above mentioned justification, I got a good 15...

    Should we buy a new car, used car or repair this car? UPDATE post #21

    This model of car had a problem with the head gasket leaking, which is most likely the problem based on your explanation and the price you were quoted. In fact, based on the age, I'm surprised it made it this long on the original gasket, as they usually went bad in the first 5-7 years. It is a...

    Best way to get rid of mice?

    Our house is over 100 years old, and attracts the little buggers. This is our solution as well. Usually get's them within 24 hours or so.

    Question regarded Earl of Sandwhich

    We brought some all the way back to Ohio, and ate them the next day. Of course they were in the cooler and then the fridge, but it was yummy for lunch the day after we got back.
