I'll cast a vote for door number three. :) I think a lot of smokers will break the rules but most will do so with an e-cig, not a tobacco cigarette. Rogillio, I can see where your logic is going, when you smoked the e-cigs weren't an option. If there were no e-cigs I would agree that there...

ok, we can go with judging and complaining :)

If the cheering is louder than a rock concert I'd consider moving to another school district.

I'm surprised there are so many schools where you can't hear announcements over the cheering? I've attended graduation ceremonies in football stadiums, theaters, auditoriums, civic centers etc and you could always hear whoever was on the microphone. You can hear announcers at sporting events...

I don't have the energy you all do to go back and forth on this. I understand that you think people should obey the 'hold your applause' rule if one is stated. I understand that you think that is how graduations are supposed to be. The point I'm trying to make is that the decision whether or...

All luvsjack is trying to say is that there are other options. The fact that other options have been employed successfully by others in no way impedes upon your right to believe that anyone making a peep at a traditional graduation is trashy beyond redemption. If the organizers haven't sought...

If you can hear them then they can hear you, right? Open that window and put on some opera or some old school twangy country. Maybe they'll move to the other side of the house. LOL The noise would annoy me, too. We have basketball players near us and that repetitive bounce can drive you to...

Depends on where you live and what restaurants you are going to. For my area, those prices would be pretty cheap. Eating in the castle is about the experience, though. I'm glad to see they are at least trying to raise the standard of the food to get it closer to price you pay for the experience.

(referring to this discussion in general, not directed at the OP) I'm surprised anyone would cancel a reservation over a side dish. If you don't like brussel sprouts ask for another side dish on the menu to be substituted. No biggie. Bacon in the sauce a problem? "could you please leave...

I've seen them at oriental trading, various colors and I think they had some plain white for you to color/decorate your own. Just read the description carefully for size. www.orientaltrading.com Search there for "drawstring backpack"...

No, I didn't. You really like to argue, don't you? Unfortunately, I do not. I believe your core argument was that you should be allowed to spend your money as you wish. i completely agree and would like to forward you my paypall number.

Which is likely why the thread is a warning to be wary of hard luck stories posted here and not a warning to be wary of people asking for money. If you don't mind being taken advantage of that is, of course, your right. I would rather spend my money in other ways.

My grandmother was in a nursing home for a while and 'just talking' is a way bigger hit than you might think. She would delight in telling us when people came to see her (either people she knew or people like your daughter's group). Just the visit really, really means a lot. She was confined...

You'll get a lot of opinions but ultimately it comes down to what works best for you. I enjoy driving so the 11 hour drive for half the price would be an easy choice for me. Drive! :) Also, if you are staying offsite that rental van will come in handy the whole time you are there. I think...

I haven't been to Key West during Christmas week so I can't speak for the traffic. Winter is their big season, though, as lots of people are trying to escape the cold. Hotel rooms can be pricier and harder to get during winter. As far as places to stay on the way down - Key largo...

oooh, I just saw that you would be going near Christmas. They take decorating their house for Christmas very seriously there. City wide competition/awards. make sure you ride around to look at the Christmas lights! and to echo a previous sentiment...the beaches in Key West are meh...

Traffic can vary a lot based on time of year and day of the week and much of the overseas highway is still two lanes. It usually takes us 2.5 to 3 hours to get to Key West from Ft. lauderdale. The drive is beautiful. There's stuff to do along the way to Key West, as well. Mostly diving...

:rotfl2:

I agree that a typical 11 year old should be just fine sitting on a bench and waiting. Have a refresher chat on staying put and not talking to strangers. I don't know how anyone would know if his mom/dad were near him or not, anyway. If you're really freaked out though, I think the baby care...

Orientaltrading dot com has lots of award stickers, certificates, small cheap trophys, ribbons and that kind of thing. They don't do "real" trophys but if you're just looking for a token to recognize something they might be a good resource. edited to add link...
