re: McDonalds to remove Self Serve fountains and may start charging for refills
Posted by dewster on 5/22/24 at 1:19 pm
McDonalds is purely a convenience option. They are everywhere, they are usually fast, and it isn’t that expensive.
The quality is terrible, and you also have the risk or being handed the wrong order or get asked to pull forward for an indefinite period of time.
I’ve learned that I can save...

re: McDonalds to remove Self Serve fountains and may start charging for refills

[quote]Chic fil a does this but it’s to keep everything clean. And they don’t charge for refills.

They also have a more simplified menu to streamline their production, better management, and usually better employees.
I'm wondering if McDonalds thinks the additional charges for ref...

re: Need advice on which 3rd row SUV to get
Posted by dewster on 5/20/24 at 3:05 pm
[quote]Not really a fan of the 4 Runners or Highlander's, plus I'd prefer to have a V6 if I do get a 3rd row suv. All the 4 cylinder vehicles we drove this weekend felt clunky.

If a minivan won't work, the new Grand Highlander with the hybrid powertrain is very good. They might be Toy...
re: Need advice on which 3rd row SUV to get
Posted by dewster on 5/20/24 at 3:04 pm
My advice is to stick to a two row as long as possible. When you outgrow that, look at a minivan. They are cheaper, usually larger on the inside, very easy to live with (huge sliding doors, easier for toddlers to climb into, etc), and much more fuel efficient. The Toyota Sienna is a very reliab...

529 Questions (probably foolish ones) - moving to another state
Posted by dewster on 5/20/24 at 1:38 pm
My daughter was born in August 2020 in Chicago. Once we had a social security number for her, we set up a 529 plan in our home state of Illinois. This was done through the state sponsored BrightStart program, which has been very impressive and easy to work with/manage. We put a lump sum into t...

[quote]St. George didn't start anything. It's actually following in the footsteps of other cities. The only difference is BR didn't give a damn about a little small town like Central. But once someone suggested ending the BR gravy train all hell broke loose.

Finally landed at BTR an hour ago. That was an interesting flight.
They overbooked the one from DC. To whoever took the $500 voucher to take tomorrow’s flight: you made the right choice.
Noticed lots of trees down. Not sure if it’s from todays storm or Monday’s storm. ...

Must be really bad.
I am sitting on an American Airlines DCA-BTR flight. We are sitting on the ground in Pensacola. Couldn’t land in Baton Rouge or New Orleans apparently.
This thing is crowded. Can’t wait to get off of this plane. ...

Kind of feel like an a-hole now for being annoyed that our flight out of BTR yesterday had to jog west slightly before going east.
