Has anyone else received a card from someone named Jenny B that congratulates you on having a baby (definitely not the case here) and includes gift cards/coupons for baby items? An internet search says this is a scam but I can’t figure out what the scam actually is.

We were stuck on the People Mover at WDW, I think for about 30 minutes. We were on an outside part of the track so it was very enjoyable. We got to people watch and rest our tired feet. Eventually a cast member came and walked us off and out through a small office into a gift shop. We were each...

Wow, there is nothing like someone resurrecting a nine year old post in order to throw insults. The evidence is overwhelming. I stand by my original post front nine years ago: With the epidemic child and adult obesity problems that we have in this country, I think required PE programs in...

Downtown sounds like it will be crazy. Since the Predators removed any need for us to go downtown this week, we will watch from the comfort of our house. I guess we will be on to our next sport and will start attending what is left of Vanderbilt baseball games.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it should and will be rebuilt. But I do think it is very sad that future visitors will be looking at things as new structures vs something that existed for hundreds of years. I am grateful for the artwork that had been removed before the fire, the survival of those...

Exactly! In a limited space that seems to always get smaller, the chances are high that reclining your seat may inconvenience the person behind you. I think that it is only decent that you check with the person behind you before reclining.

Since the disboard loves a good airline debate: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/delta-air-lines-seat-recline-change/index.html

I am tempted but I think I hate snakes more. Based on the amount of damage they have caused I think the squirrels deserve to get eaten by a snake.

We seem to have an unending battle with squirrels. My daughters had started complaining again about noise in the attic above their bedrooms so I had a wildlife removal company check things out. The squirrels had chewed three different holes in the soffits right below the shingles. So now I am...

One big reason for staying in the SEC - last year the member schools received around $43 million. I think they would be crazy to give up that payout. They are also very competitive in other sports. A better question is to ask about the academic exceptions that are allowed to be used by coaches...

Small brag here on my school. Vanderbilt was mentioned in the FBI as documents as being too difficult to cheat: But a key witness and co-conspirator said Vanderbilt's requirements for incoming football players were too stringent to "hide" a student with low grades, according to an...

How gullible are the people who watch this garbage. “I just woke up” but she is in full make up. She obviously woke up and put on a lot of eye makeup and then got back in bed to film.

I don’t know if I can watch a season of Hannah B’s voice. She hesitates between many of her words. I don’t know if she ever completes a sentence or thought. I can’t imagine a whole season of listening to her.

I took the time to read thru a little of the complaint. In one of the conversations involving an exam proctor who was changing answers at the test site, the parents were told that their child would not even know that their test answers were being changed. They discussed how the child would just...

There are some exceptions. I personally know of two cases of extremely wealthy people whose children were rejected at a very selective school. I thought the university was crazy for doing this. For some reason, outright paying a huge sum to get your child in seems better than cheating on tests...

Prestigious universities have plenty of professors with the accolades you mentioned but the real question is how many of them actually teach classes. My daughter was a graduate assistant at a top 20 university and was teaching labs and grading papers for the big named professor. She was doing...

I think in many cases that once you are in an “elite” school the education is the same. It is all about the name recognition and contacts from the school. So much of what you get from education is what effort the student puts into the learning. A smart, hard working student at any school can...

This really upsets me. I have always said that there is a lot of cheating going on in the academic world and I bet this indictment only caught a portion of those cheating. I scanned through the complaint and there was everything from proctors actually changing answers on exams to fake athletic...

I agree with she needs to see a doctor. I am dealing with a long time cough and am currently under treatment. Sometimes there is not a quick fix but a doctor needs to find the source of the cough. I have two things that I recommend for immediate relief (this is not a cure). I take a very tiny...

The view from the top floor suite of the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco. We had a panoramic view of the city on three sides looking north. We could never have afforded this suite but for some blessed reason the hotel upgraded us into this. The suite had 5 or 6 rooms giving us a view toward...
