    Getting from Seattle to Vancouver

    'Cause mapquest, Google maps and printed maps don't give you the wonderful feedback fellow disers do! (Including recent bridge collapses, and nice scenic routes)

    Argh! Comcast!!!

    Do you really have to announce it every time you vent? It was pretty obvious that the OP wasn't looking for advice, just relating her experience. I can sympathize, dealing with companies over the phone---when it's hard to even get to an actual human---can be frustrating.

    Dave Ramsey Overspent at Disney

    I'm the same way, I make about $500 in rewards on each credit card per year, with zero interest paid, because I pay them off before the end of the month. I also like paying with credit because then I have a paper summary of what I spent my money on. When I have cash, I can never seem to remember...

    desperate help needed-suggestions appreciated

    I think you have gotten a lot of good advice from others about cutting costs. You should just methodically go down the list you made of expenses and look for cheaper alternatives (shop around for cheaper car and home insurance, do VOIP, drop cable, consolidate trips, eat more lentils, use the...

    Have one day at MK and am putting together a skippable list - feedback please

    I think you list is pretty on the money, except for Winnie the Pooh. My boys are 16 and 18 now, and still like doing that one! They also like the Stitch attraction. But everything else you listed we would skip, too.

    Ear-drum shattering screaming by ToT guests throughout the entire ride.

    Actually, we had the very same experience on ToT last week. Ear-splitting screams several of the times we did it. One of the photos at the end even showed me with my fingers in my ears! Also had an annoying young lady sit next to me on Test Track scream "Woo-hoo" the ENTIRE time. I mean, once or...

    Grand Villas Groupon Special

    We just got back from a stay there and really enjoyed it. The grounds and pools were nice and the location is very good for getting to DTD and WDW. Lots of restaurants nearby also. We got a 2 bdrm, which had plenty of room for the 4 of us. I requested a renovated unit and everything was in very...

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    Called a different oral surgeon today and they called my insurance to see what was covered. Same answer---nothing! Their fees are even higher than the first oral surgeon: $178 for erupted wisdom teeth, up to $398 for impacted. I think this is a pretty expensive area as far as medical/dental...

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    That is my worry, that it will start causing him pain after after he's down there. I will check into my medical coverage or supplemental dental and try and get this taken care of before he leaves. Otherwise I'll be worried about it.

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    I think you may be right. I probably do have some wiggle room. Although the bottom wisdom teeth for both boys look like they are coming in at about an 85 degree angle. Just not sure how quickly they move in.

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    Duh-oh, I'm just now getting what you meant! The dental and medical are the same company, United Healthcare, but I will definitely call the medical side and see if I get a different answer. Thanks for bringing that up.

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    It covers basic preventive care (check-ups, xrays, and cleanings). But only 50% for crowns and nothing for root canals, and I'm finding now, zip for wisdom teeth. In the past I've looked at different plans during open enrollment, but it is really hard to figure out what each plan covers. I got...

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    Jen, I did ask if they was any kind of coverage, but the insurance provider said they don't pay for wisdom teeth. They just have a list of dentists who provide a discount. It's United Healthcare Dental. Really lousy coverage.

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    Thanks Brenda. I am tempted to post-phone my older son's extractions until next year, but he is going to leave for college in August (Florida Tech, actually), and I am worried about him having trouble while he is away. The younger one is actually the only one complaining of pain right now, but...

    Wisdom teeth sticker shock!

    Both my sons (16 and 18) need all 4 wisdom teeth removed. I took them to an oral surgeon today and the one who has 4 impacted teeth will cost $2,065 and the one with two erupted and two impacted will cost $1,465. ACKKK! If I'd known they were both going to need this, this year, I'd have put more...

    Value of vacations--How much is too much?

    " think the value is really up to each individual. Our oldest son graduates this year and our youngest is in marching band now. We've been told that it gets more time consuming each year. So now time feels really short to me (they really do grow up fast) and I want this last relatively...

    Mousesavers newsletter secret code

    Hi, I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but my family is going to WDW in April, and I wanted to get our tickets from UT before the next Mousesavers newsletter comes out (subscribed just after the last one went out). Could the kind person who has been emailing the March newsletter out send...
