    Applebee's Waitress Canned After Posting Pastor's Receipt

    If you got every person who claimed to "believe" and actually "acted" in the manner in which they stated they "believed"... ...you'd have a pretty darn empty stadium.

    What exactly is WoC?

    I agree. (but you said it without snark. :( ) Ah, so since I disagree with you... I'm wrong? Interesting worldview. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't go, and certainly wouldn't be on a fan site like this. I 'get' Disney. I grew up going to Disneyland and have been literally hundreds of times. My...

    What exactly is WoC?

    ...and if you bother to read what I actually wrote, you'll see that I did just that - describe World of Color. I simply took the marketing speech that Hydro posted from Disney's flowery, self-promoting ad prose, and reworded to reflect realities that I have experienced. Perhaps it's lost on...

    use short term disability for doctor's visit

    I'm kind of mystified why an EXEMPT employee would have any duties that would need "covering". What does the job entail? Exempt positions are supposed to be managerial or special knowledge jobs. If the OP's friend is doing grunt work requiring "covering", she's might be misclassified...

    What exactly is WoC?

    Yes, personal opinions are funny that way; i.e., I get to have my own and also not give a flying fig what yours is. With the new land and BVS, DCA may finally merit world class status on par with another Disney park, but until I have a chance to determine that for myself (in one month's...

    Disney Land Vs World

    Pick your poison... Go to WDW for nice hotels and run-down, falling-apart parks, or go to DLR for run-down (good neighbor) hotels and immaculate parks.

    ipads anyone?

    At home I use mine for surfing the web, as a "recipe card" in the kitchen, and to mark up PDF documents (editing, updates, etc.). On vacation, I use it for web access and reading.

    Fixed that for Disney.

    family members coming empty handed

    Exactly. The OP isn't "being grinchy," she is being clueless and a prima donna. My guess is she belongs to the "READ MY MIND OR I'LL COMPLAIN ENDLESSLY TO EVERYONE EXCEPT YOU" school of marriage. There is no way I'd ever put up with that. The correct response to this behavior would have been...

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Question??

    Two things... make sure your butter and eggs are room temperature before you mix. Also, some baking results happen because recipes don't work well at certain altitudes. If you're in Denver, you have to adjust more than someone in a coastal city at sea level, for example. Can't help you...

    Well, whats should I bake?

    Just a friendly reminder... if you have a whisk attachment, DO NOT put it in the dishwasher. Hand wash only.

    facebook blocking?

    I absolutely recommend this. Unless you are some type of attention *seeker*, there is no reason to allow anyone outside of your circle of friends to be able to see or post on your timeline. Lock it down! Since my account is locked down to friends only (NOT "friends of friends"), I have not...

    So sick of medical practices

    It's because of insurance. If we had a single-payer system....

    Hard drive repair

    Hard disk problems == get a new hard drive, pronto. Salvage whatever data you can - IF you can - from the old one and ditch it ASAP. Hard drives are too cheap to worry about fixing, when you could lose everything in a snap.

    how do you afford your disney trip?

    I totally agree. "Luck" is just a concept for the lazy. You're right, not everyone gets the same chances in life. You have to actually work to get those chances, and some people just refuse to work for it. So... they don't get those chances. Funny how that works, no? ;) You're also right...

    how do you afford your disney trip?

    A fixed percentage of my (and my SO's) paycheck goes to a Vacation Fund. It's worked right into our budget as a line item. We take 5-6 vacations a year with this money, usually with at least one at a Disney property. We don't necessarily use all the funds at one time, and it's been building...

    Foods you wish you could ban

    People for whom cilantro tastes like soap are genetic mutants; they have a mutation that causes the effect.

    Sleep aids?

    Yup yup yup. I take Claritin (loratidine) for allergies. Claritin® 10mg costs $15 for 30 pills in a retail store. Loratidine 10mg costs $15 for 300 pills at Costco. Read the labels, people! Save yourself a ton of money.
