Actually, I'm not a fan of zero and below. That's where even I draw the line!! This morning, it was negative 1 at 8:30 AM here.

With the windchill, that's what it was here. They had EMTs out last night in case anyone started showing frostbite symptoms.

It's a major problem in Baltimore City with the homeless population. There's been a standing code blue alert for a while now.

There's talk of the s word on Wednesday night into Thursday. I'll probably just request to work from home Thursday and Friday if that's the case. Friday we're only getting highs in the teens.

This afternoon the family met up at my mother's. She lives in a small 1 bedroom apartment in a seniors center so it was a bit of a squeeze but we had a lot of fun. Luckily my mom lives close to the beach where there is a long boulevard so we went for a nice walk.
The polar dive had been at 12 but we got there after 2pm so most of the crowd had left. The tent on the beach is were you change after the dive, they were unisex last time I did the dive.

Part of the boulevard has these statutes that kids love to climb on.

I love the suburban DC area but you're right about the cost of living. FLORIDA

I'd love to visit that beach in the warmer months. My kids back in the day would have loved to climbed all over those things.

Perhaps the salaries reflect the cost of living? I know people get paid more in London because it is so expensive to rent or buy.

What you may not realize is that hotels often have block holds on rooms. If the group (say, a convention group) comes up short and doesn't need all the rooms, those may be released to the public at greatly reduced rates and/or with other perks like free breakfast (for example).

I never had the privilege of living that close to use these kind of last second offers. I have to plan months in advance.
So sadly I never seen these kind of offers you say.

Ok. So, we usually do Hilton Head every September. I already booked, but I am wondering about cruise ships. Did Disney once but the price is kind of ridiculous. So which one? Royal Caribbean has 30% off on every person. Don't know about the ships though. I remember that @Cesar R M cruised often. Any help please?

I've only cruised twice, once with Disney (Disney Wonder Pre marvel overhaul) and the Post overhaul Oasis of the Seas.

Afraid I can't comment much on cruising other than I enjoyed both but Disney still had way superior food AND customer support.

Did you ask her to live in Tampa? my bosses say that everyone who is serious in working in Florida live outside orlando area.. and mostly near Tampa.

Also, what site did you use to check the Nielsen offers?

Id love to take a look.
