If you do go in December...

The best days to go are December 18 to December 23rd.  We went to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure on December 21 this year because they gave us discount passes for that week.  There were no crowds at all.  We walked on all the rides.  I think our longest wait was 20 minutes for Spiderman.  The lines were so short that we were able to go on all the rides at both parks, several of them 2 to 3 times each, and we were pretty much done by 3:00.  I asked one of the workers there, and she said that week was the slowest of the year, but that December 24 to Jan 1 is usually very crowded. 


If you decide to go, my kids and I actually prefer Universal/Islands of Adventure over the Disney parks.  We like the rides better, and it is a lot cheaper.  I also like the fact that you can bring one of those big sipper cups in those parks, they will let you refill it for $1.25.  They also let you bring food in the park.  I usually bring PB&J sandwiches and our sipper cups, and then we only purchase dinner in the park.

December 15?
I always thought it was when the final quarterly payment ws due, January 15, is that wrong?
No, December's NOT ideal...

Anyone who's from Florida or has been there knows the rates for EVERYTHING go shooting through the sky come the season, which is the week before Thanksgiving through week after Easter.


Granted, the weather's beautiful in December, but you WILL pay for it if you go to Disney, make no mistake..... 


 


We married in December and get this
my husband is sooooo crazy he wants to visit in the summer. One summer trying to walk about 1/2 block my feet already turning red. It was, oh, about 110 outside. It does not bother him but whew, the sweat is pouring off my brow. Neither of us gamble but I love all that glitter and stuff and he loves the buffets so works out well for us. We got married at Treasure Island, beautiful place. Funny, but we never stayed there again. He said we could have remarry again there - told him he would do anything to get back to the buffets!
I took the test in December

I liked using the CMT Review Guide and the CD that comes with it.  It's very similar to the real test. 


Good luck!!!!


Ugh, we bought a new Dell in December. First off...
the thing sounds like a meat grinder the entire time it is on.  Makes so much noise I think I'm on the tarmac at the airport.  Secondly, we installed a new video card and then somehow disabled it and needed tech support to sort it out.  Yep, got "Jimmie" from Calcutta or Bombay or some other such place (who do they think they're kidding?), who walked us through a process which we thought was going to reset the video card, and he had us RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS!   Just as I hit the last button, I realized what he had me doing.  I lost all kinds of documents, taxes, you name it.  I was livid!  Not happy.
I've had 4 jobs since December...sm
Seems like they will tell you one thing and then deliver another. They don't even let you get adjusted before they start sending you the worst of the worst.

It's been very difficult to do this, but I am determined to find a mutually beneficial relationship.

That is why I'm going to venture out on my own. At least, maybe, I can have some sort of control over my own career.

I am learning a lot of different systems, which is fascinating, to say the least. It's been really an enriching experience for me.

I sure hate that testing, though! :)
It's been out of publication since December 2007...

Amazing he'll be gone 25 years in December...

seems like it was just yesterday!  So, so senseless.  Hard to believe Sean's 30 already.  Man, this makes me feel my age!! 


What's your favorite song he wrote?  Mine's "Imagine."  Absolutely love it...always have, always will

Just don't go in the summer. The guides say that the first week in December is ideal. nm

I bought a desktop and laptop in December. Can I claim on taxes..
and is there a limit to how often you purchase computers for your work? A friend thought you could buy one a year and claim it.  I bought the laptop and desktop in December and already hate the laptop, but I hate to purchase another one if I cannot claim it this year. Oh, also if I charged the computers on my Dell account in December but did not start making payments in January 2006 can I still claim for 2005 taxes. Thanks.
