    Need gift ideas for someone leaving to study abroad

    Find out what her favorite shippable American foods are and plan to ship some over to her while she's there! I'm currently in the UK, studying for a year, and can only find select American favorites in candy stores. I've had friends ship me Kraft macaroni & cheese, as well as Spaghetti-O's...

    The work you love

    No, I don't like my job. I love my company, but not my job. And there have been no opportunities to advance or otherwise move into something different here. So, I'm leaving. Friday is my last day. I'm taking a leap and going back to school for a masters degree in a subject about which I'm...

    Another "concert" spinoff...who did you see before they became famous?

    No Doubt. They were basically our house band when I worked with the concert programming board in college. It's really amazing to see how huge they are now! Glad everyone else loves them as much as we did back in the late 80's/early 90's.

    Ford Mustang owners

    That's my baby, the day I picked him up (his name is "Alex"). 2006 V-6 Pony Package. Bought it in late 2005. Had to special order it to get the color I wanted in a stick shift. Having an issue with it currently. The leather-ish fabric on the inside of the passenger side door has detached...

    How many of these 656 Disney Movies have you seen??

    147 for sure. There were a few in there (older ones) that I couldn't recall for sure from the titles.

    Had my first colonoscopy today and it was a breeze!!!

    I had bruises for 2 weeks after my first mammogram. Fortunately, my current HMO does a much better job of things. Had my 2nd colonoscopy on Monday. The prep was a bit easier this time, although it's always difficult to get through drinking 4 liters of that nasty liquid. They had me do 3...

    Walt Disney's birthplace for sale

    Visited my friends in Chicago a couple years ago and they took me by this place. Some work was being done on it at the time. I commented that I was surprised it hadn't been turned into a Disney museum, but my friends said there just wasn't enough interest in it and the guy who owned it hadn't...

    Shopping for College Dorm Room, College Freshman necessities

    Thanks for all the great advice here! I'll be moving MYSELF into a dorm room in September. I'm 43 (will be 44 by then) and lived at home when I got my bachelor's degree, so this is all new to me. Add to that, the fact that I'll be going to school in the UK and it's quite stressful to figure...

    Car rental in Los Angeles, Ca.

    Rent the car. Pay the parking fees at your hotel. Our public transport system is better than it used to be, but it still won't easily get you where you want to go. The L.A. area was built around cars, not public transport, so our transport is sort of an after-thought. There's a reason we all...

    Anyone seen "Rock of Ages" yet?

    Saw the movie this weekend and absolutely loved it! Enjoyed it way more than I'd expected to, since I'm not a huge fan of the 80's hair bands. Was so much funnier than I'd realized it would be. At the end, I told my friend that, as silly as it was, I think this is the first movie that...

    Colonoscopy Questions...UPDATE POST #38

    I'm going in for my second colonoscopy next Monday. I'm 43 and my mom died of colon cancer at age 63. So, to be on the safe side, I started my tests at age 39. Have to get one every 5 years. Not looking forward to the prep. They've changed the rules a bit this time, so starting Thursday...

    Rewards expiration once on the card

    You can definitely do that at the Disney Store. Just use your rewards card to purchase a gift card for $450.00. Shouldn't be a problem.

    Anyone renew a passport by mail recently?

    I renewed just about 3 months ago and got mine back in around 2 weeks.

    Where do you stash your money when traveling in a crowded place?

    Another vote for PacSafe! I have a small cross-body purse (which I've used in Italy and on everyday trips to DLR and such), as well as a small backpack (used in England, Paris and Germany). All zippers also attach with clips, so they are extremely difficult for someone to just grab and pull...

    Formula 1 Race - Austin, TX - Kids?

    Ha ha. I blame it on sleep deprivation. I was thinking the race was still in June, as originally planned. Duh.

    Formula 1 Race - Austin, TX - Kids?

    Kids are always allowed at auto racing events, regardless of series. But, as the PP said, make sure to bring ear protection, because it will be loud. I once encountered an F1 two-seater in a short traffic tunnel. And I had ear protection, plus my fingers in my ears. And it just about brought...

    the rides on top of the

    I've ridden the Big Shot twice. Love that one! Rode that one that looks like a skateboard that hangs out over the side. Was in the rear seat on that and it was scary enough! I can't imagine being in the front seats! Haven't done the newest one, the twirly, over-the-side thingy. That one...
