    TV Commercials You Cant Stand

    Smoke free Florida has a commercial with a guy who has COPD and he's hooked up to oxygen and he says his wife had to quit smoking so she would be around to take care of him. Good that she quit smoking but he's a selfish jerk.

    Annual passes years ago

    Thanks for all the info. I guess I dreamed it. But one-day tickets probably weren't that expensive because every time my daughter had a school holiday, we were off to Disney World. I also remember when we vacationed here from Maryland, a friend of mine would give us a huge stack of A-E tickets...

    Annual passes years ago

    Does anyone remember when annual passes came out? I seem to remember having them in 1973-75 time frame and an adult's cost $100 an a kid's cost $50. Am I crazy?

    Sirius XM Radio trial is over and we did not renew

    We've never lost our commercial stations when our Sirius subscription ran out, but DD#1 knows all the right things to say/ask when it's time to renew. We have it in three cars, for $11 a car for six months. Don't ask me how she does it, she just does it!

    DIS spelling/grammar experts

    I'm a professional editor, and unless I'm prohibited from making the change, I'd recast the sentence to read "If they can't believe you when you say no, they can't believe you when you say yes."

    What has been your scariest injury?

    It wasn't an injury (at least I don't think it was the result of an injury) but I was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 60. I asked the surgeon to promise me three things: that the anesthesia would last as long as the surgery, that I wouldn't wake up with tubes up my nose or down my throat...

    What is the best.....

    We went to one of Elvis' last concerts. I won't say it was one if the best concerts I ever wen to. He was old and fat and his voice was going. I think the best one was a Billy Joel concert on New Years Eve at the Amway Center in Orlamdo. Rod Stweart showed up as a special guest.

    Jambalaya?

    I'm totally lazy, so I use Zatarain's as well. But I use brown and serve sausages, frozen shrimp, and extra rice so it's not so spicy (they also make a mild version).
