    Blinds-where to get some

    FYI, both Home Depot and Lowe's have specials on custom blinds right now. Home Depot's is 20% off and Lowe's is 20-25% off. Home Depot's promo ends Nov 3 though. I know that Levelor has a line of faux wood blinds at Lowe's that are various set sizes and then will cut them to your exact...

    Dumbest Calls to Emergency services

    I know of three of these...all of the guilty party are friends but in their defense, these calls occurred many years ago when we were all a little younger and more stupid. 1. Male friend and a group of us were out at a bar. There was to be a bikini contest and dance floor was cleared. Friend...

    Anyone live in South Carolina near I95?

    I used to work in Florence as well as making the I-95 to Florida trip many times and I'd go with Florence. There are a lot of decent hotels right off of I-95. Many restaurants close by as well as a mall & Target. Most of the other towns further south are smaller with less amenities and your...

    HHN - need plan for Thursday

    I was there last Thursday and was there on a Thursday two years ago. Two years ago, I was with my sister and we were able to see every house and ride several rides in one night without express pass. We did get express past this most recent time and without it, I doubt we would have been able...

    Chase Sold My Mortgage

    First home mortgage was in 2002 and within 5 months was sold to another company. They were both big banks and I can't remember who they were. It didn't really affect us at all except sending the payment to someone else. Second home we bought was in 2005 and during that transaction, we had a...

    songs with numbers in them

    "22" by Taylor Swift. I have a teen daughter so I hear this one a lot. It is filed in my misheard lyrics file as well. I hear "It seems like a perfect night, to dress up like hipsters, make fun of our accents." Apparently, it is "exes", not accents. I am sensitive to accents though, as I am...

    Fraud Alerts after making ADRs?

    This is strange that it happened right after dealing with Disney, but I will agree with PPs about Chase issuing fraud alerts on very small charges. I had my card shut down and had to call them because someone had put through an authorization for 50 cents. They asked if I knew the company or...

    How much does it cost to drink around the world?

    May cost becoming a minor internet youtube star... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJtNGcGRWl8 I think there are currently 13 countries in world showcase. No way I would make it around the world if I had a drink in every country For full size drinks, I would plan for $10 a country to...

    What is a good price for Hawaii airfare?

    Airfare to Hawaii is high...we were supposed to go this summer but DH blew out his ACL again and has to have surgery so that got cancelled. I spent several months stalking airfares from San Francisco, San Jose, or Oakland to Honolulu. The lowest I saw was a little over $600, though you may see...

    Two Peas in a Bucket is closing

    I just saw this! Went to the site and it was acting wonky...bad gateway 502 something and then the full screen message announcing closing. Very sad...loved crafting ideas and the NSBR board kept me entertained for many an hour.

    what are you willing to pay retail for?

    Also on the MAC make up bandwagon. I love the counter at Macy's here or Dillard's back home. They had an entire MAC store at one mall I was at in Florida. I don't mind the lipstick only for the swap of old containers. I've gotten some great new colors that way. Other item I will buy full...

    Talk About Everything Online Dating!

    I know a lot of people who met their significant others through dating sites. The funniest one is my brother. There was a woman at work who had a crush on him and found him on a dating site. She didn't post a pic or her real name and started talking to him. After a couple of weeks she told...

    My son wants to join the Air Force

    DH is active duty AF and I served for 6 years as well. It was a great experience for me as it forced me to grown up and take responsibility for myself and my actions. When I got out, I was able to use my GI Bill money to pay for x-ray school and 95% of ultrasound school. This was HUGE for us...

    What's your secret to a good homemade burger?

    Garlic, onion, Worstershire, hand pressed, and most important, don't mash it down while it's on the grill.

    Do you want to leave your STATE?

    I grew up here in California but moved to New Orleans as a young adult, then joined the USAF and lived in TX and GA. Got out of the military but as a military spouse lived in TX again, SC, FL, and now CA. Moving back to California has been very tough after living elsewhere for almost 20 years...

    Preparing a home for sale.

    When we sold our home in Texas, the agent we listed with included an approximately one hour visit from an interior decorator he contracts with. She came into our home and gave us various suggestions to help our home sell. We mostly moved furniture around and altered placement of decorative...

    Where in the continental US is it temperate year round?

    I'm going to throw out Asheville, NC as somewhere to look at. May get a little cooler than 40's but pretty moderate climate and the cost of living is much lower than coastal California.

    Tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly of moving to Florida!

    A few more goods: No state income tax! Publix grocery stores. No snow. Manatees. Bad: Lots of hot weather, although this didn't bother me at all. There can be some traffic at times but it is nothing compared to California. Can't help you with areas near Orlando or Ft. Lauderdale. We...

    Have other guests ever gotten mad at you, for something you did?

    We had this exact thing happen at Space Mountain. Group of teenage boys as well. We saw others in front of us having to squeeze around this one kid's backpack. Clearly a passive aggressive "I'm angry that I have to wait and you don't" type deal. DH just sped up and walked smack into the...
