Visitor Toll Pass seems like a very good idea (if you're not a rental car company); it is offered by the Central Florida Expressway Authority for visitors renting cars at MCO. I'm tired of paying rental companies' fees that charge a daily service fee for the duration of your trip, and then you...

I've often wondered about this area of research using existing medications. For example, Nasalcrom (Cromoglicic acid or cromolyn sodium) is an OTC nasal mast cell stabilizer, long used as the non-corticosteroid treatment of choice in the treatment of asthma, for which it has largely been...

Actually, not so simple as that. Private fora must sometimes respect others' right of free expression: Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robins, 447 U.S. 74 (1980) (students have the right under California Constitution to circulate initiative petitions in a private shopping center that doesn't want...

Hold on a sec. It used to be that snacks and CS were a distant second option and the hustle to make TS rezzies was much more necessary. But in the last few years, a lot of snacks and CS opportunities have improved. In some cases, by a lot. At the same time, TS places have declined. In some...

I like the fact that the Nalgene bottle made it to the room, in a place of honor next to your room key.

Congrats. Like @Swissmiss, I have experience in working large sports events, including front gates, information, organization and management at events with up to 500,000 people over several days, and it can be an amazing amount of fun. Talking to and helping participants, attendees, kids, and...

A huge proportion of the near-term third shots needed in the U.S. are probably already produced and readily available. Just click on one of the big pharmacy chains, like Rite Aid, and check out the available appointments. When I checked, a nearby pharmacy (in a low-population area) had as many...

I often find it useful to go to the companies' own websites to find specific information on all these questions from the people who actually know the product best (though they obviously have a financial interest as well). Since I have had the Moderna shot, I follow the Moderna studies, which are...

Thank you, @DCBaker, I've read your reports in this thread every day for months, and they were always useful in planning and in tempering expectations.

I kind of hesitate to post this decision from yesterday, but: No, you have to yell that kind of stuff outside the Temple on a public sidewalk: Gerber v. Herskovitz, decided yesterday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit...

Wow. I try to be respectful, but literally every sentence here is wrong. I'll try to give the benefit of the doubt here, but I apologize in advance if this seems disjointed; unavoidable since the sentences literally make no sense to someone who understands the system and proposal being...

I was going to let the whole OSHA discussion lie quiet after the first discussion here, but since it's bubbling up again, please let me jump in to point out that both GoofGoof and Lazyboy97o are right, in part. Like so much in this area, this whole question of who has what authority to govern...

Depends on what you want to do, but as a painter, I found it a lot of fun and quite worthwhile. Figment is the festival's central character, and appears on lots of things. You pretty much have to like purple at this festival, because it's everywhere. Here's a Mickey hat from the Festival a few...

Thank you, Steve, for this thread, and to those who have posted on it, twenty years later. Lost people I knew on Flight 77, watched the smoke from the Pentagon from my office window, stood outside next to my friend the military attache from the Portuguese Embassy while two circling F-16s broke...

Well, assuming I understand what you're asking, like The Mrs. I don't qualify on that metric. I joined this Board in April (though I've been posting on other boards since rec.arts.disney.parks), and I'd like to think that I'm "legitimate ... elsewhere" because I've added a little something now...

-> more votes for Ticket to Ride (which can also be played jointly on a variety of electronic devices), and Catan. And, it's not a board game, but there's an interesting card game called "Taco v Burrito" you might look at.

I do remember being in WDW the first week in January, and having to wear a trash bag to stay warm. Not dry; warm. It was that cold, and for some reason I don't recall, I didn't have any available cold weather tops.

RIP Backyard BBQ. My kids (now grown) still talk about the time I went line-dancing there, turned around, and ran face-first smack into a ceiling pillar.

Sure. Probably like Final Fantasy, but with a bigger set of options. Likely turn-based, rather than real-time, though I could also see an RT version. That's why I suggested the MechWarrior-type of game in my first response to you. A video game offers the ability to make the toon into a more...

Did you notice the Disney Princess cloud to the left in the pic of the castle? Very appropriate next to the castle.
