    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/20 poll - Disney Parks Snacks 🥨 🍦🍗

    I choose the Mickey Pretzel. I probably should have selected “Other” because of the Mickey Rice Krispy Treats, though. Love those things.

    What is something that has changed in your lifetime that you personally refuse to change?

    I can obviously only speak for myself, but my Facebook “friends” are primarily old high school classmates and extended family that I otherwise would not keep in touch with. Social media allows me to see what they’re doing, what their kids have accomplished, etc. My Facebook is a wonderful...

    What are you planning to do for St. Patrick's Day?

    Normally, St Patrick’s Day is a day I stay home and away from partiers. However, non-related plans have me in Atlantic City this weekend. Their parade was last weekend so I’m hoping it isn’t too bad.

    Gender Reveal parties

    I’ve known since I was a kid. My father has always been an excellent father. I get it, I really do. I just don’t agree with the blanket judgment. It could also be a great bonding opportunity. I’m picturing a parent with a child on their knee watching the video saying look how disappointed I...

    Gender Reveal parties

    I can understand that. For me it comes from experience. I know that my Mom wanted a boy and my Dad wanted a girl when they had me. It’s always been an open part of the conversation. I have a great relationship with my Dad. 50+ years later we are planning a father/son weekend to St Louis this...

    Gender Reveal parties

    I think that deep down the overwhelming majority of people have a preference on the sex of their child, even most of those who say they don’t. It’s human nature. It also doesn’t mean that you won’t love a child if it isn’t what you were wishing for. Just like the majority of people who say...

    Gender Reveal parties

    I love gender reveal parties as long as they aren’t dangerous. I’m not much of a partier but I’ve helped plan a couple for coworkers at the office and they’ve been really fun. It’s a big moment in someone’s life that they want to share. As someone who normally turns down wedding invitations, I...

    Have you got a degree?

    I have a BS in Actuarial Science. Never really pursued becoming an actuary besides a few interviews while still in school.

    Yes, they have kiosks where you can convert cash to their MyBoardwalk cards, which you can use for games, food, etc.

    Are you more of a card or a cash kind of person?

    Like others, I am mostly card but will use cash for smaller businesses to help them avoid card charges. The other exception is the casino, where it's obviously best to have cash with you.

    Where would you like to spend the last moments of your life?

    I’ve been giving this too much thought lately. I’m going to say my bed because I want to go to sleep one night and just not wake up. Have a neighbor or family member call the police to do a welfare check a week or two later and then be carted off to wherever they send bodies without a close...

    Do you cat nap?

    For the most part, yes it really helps me. Like you said, though, there are days where I’ll wake up at even Midnight and never fall back to sleep. The hard part is coming up in April. I have season tickets for my local minor league baseball team so half of the time I sleep normal hours and the...

    Wendy's to test surge pricing

    True. But nobody from Wendy’s said that this is what is going to happen. They never used the word surge. They used dynamic. While the article claims they are one and the same, they are not.

    Wendy's to test surge pricing

    Not exactly the same but not terribly different than an early bird special, really.

    Do you cat nap?

    I’m a huge nap taker. They are very helpful. In fact, most weeknights I go to bed very early (like 6:30 or 7:00), then wake up between Midnight and 2:00, do my chores or watch tv for a few hours, and then nap for an hour or so just so that I can start my day refreshed from a nap rather than...
