    Were you named after anyone?

    Named after my great grandparents. I always hated my middle name because it was "a boy's name"

    Router needs replacement or wifi issue?

    I'm with spectrum, and started similar issues with my older net gear router several months ago. It worsened when I bought a new smart tv for Christmas. I purchased a mesh router network Nighthawk. Router is upstairs next to modem; one satellite at on each side of the house. Huge...

    What to do In Washington DC if the Smithsonian is closed???? Help

    We did the White House tour in November. I'm glad I did it, but I don't know if I would do it again. You are kind of herded through quickly, and told a little bit about the rooms, but you don't really get to see that much. I really enjoyed the White House Visitor Center at 1450 Pennsylvania...

    Asheville, NC residents!

    Asheville currently has no curfew in effect. There was one from 6/2-6/6, but it has been lifted. Restaurants are hit or miss as to open for in-house dining. Some are open with limited capacity; others are just open for take-out. Moe's has a good reputation. I've also enjoyed 12 Bones, but...

    Myrtle Beach restaurant and bar recommendations

    74th North or South? If you are south, definitely go to Murrells Inlet. Sea Captain's house used to be one of my favorites, but the last few times I've been, I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. Also, the place just seems tired and old. I like the Flying Fish Café in Barefoot...

    I joined in 1998, around the first family trip to Disney. Had to reregister after the boards crashed. Wow, that's a long time!

    This is Us- Season four

    Hated that Kate felt she had to tell Toby it wasn't his first food. Let him enjoy it. It's a harmless lie. I find that people who have addictions, like Toby with his addiction to food, will often change to become addicted to something else, like exercise. Also, as a person with food...

    So sorry to hear the news. I remember meeting her on a group trip with the WISHwalkers back in 2005. I think she made us all lime green scarfs. Sweet person!

    Mariner of the Seas & Coco Cay Review - Triple Threat Match (RCCL vs DCL vs CCL)

    I've done 7 DCL cruises, but only on the fantasy and the magic, and not in 10 years. I've done 1 RCCL on the Radiance, and 3 on Carnival, and 2 on Norwegian (older ships). Here are my ratings from best to worst: Guest services: DCL, CCL, NCL, RCCL Boarding (depends upon port a good bit) CCL...

    Those who have had lasik

    I had lasik 19 years ago when I was 38. I had to use readers for a few years when I was 50-53. Then my vision regressed to 20/50 or worse, and I didn't need readers but needed regular glasses for driving, nights, or rain. Then I developed an issue with my eyes where it appears I have...

    Anyone familiar with Greensboro, N.C.?

    Greensboro has been where we small town people head for excitement, but I can understand why it seems rural after Boston. As 20 somethings coming to Greensboro, I'd be more concerned about enjoying the area, and less about school districts, since you will have several years before school will...

    Emirates Airline

    My daughter flew Emirates to and from Greece last month. The only thing she didn't like was being required to check her luggage. Other than that she loved them. On both flights she was the only person in her row, so she got to stretch out and sleep.

    The Official DIS Oscar LIVE PARTY thread!!! "Mistake" video in post #705

    The documentary for which he won goes into a great deal of backstory and detail that the OJ acquittal would not have happened had it not been for the rash of issues between the LAPD and the African American community. I felt he was speaking to these that preceded the OJ verdict, as much as...

    How do you bury a child? :(

    The hardest part of losing both of my siblings to cancer has been watching my parents go through the pain of saying goodbye to their child, even when those children were 46 and 60. They have a strong faith in God and each other. It is being tested these last few months as my sister was...
