Any recommendations on where two college women should stay for a week or so in Rome this coming May? Our oldest and her friend are going for a visit. The hostel they had in mind isn’t available. Thanks for any thoughts.

Anyone using StarLink yet? I would be curious for some reviews. I’m on the waiting list and hoping it will be a good alternative to AT&T DSL for our cabin

If you randomly ran into a WFU Trustee and struck up a conversation, what would you have to say say? I would be tempted to fall down my typical hole of predatory tuition but that seems like a waste of breath at this point.

Yeah, I know where it comes from, but it seems like a line from "Mommie Dearest" (1981). We see it all the time now. Does anyone like it?

From an email today: “With a grateful spirit for all that we have done together, I share that Julie and I intend to retire from Wake Forest University on June 30, 2021, or until it is appropriate for a new president to take office.”

CFRA IHOP - May 6, chapter 11 reorganization. Thinking we are looking at an economic shit show when it is tough to sell pancakes and waffles. What else are you seeing on the bankruptcy dockets? New law grads - consider bankruptcy as a practice area, at least to get your foot in the door...

Yeah, I love good bourbon, too. But it has become harder to find good/great bourbons at the store. So, as whiskey goes, I would recommend you try Suntori Toki. Excellent Japanese whiskey at a comfortable price point. Some NC ABC stores have limits on it (Avery County) but others let you...

Anyone using them? Any cool photos or videos from them? I started unpacking my Mavic Air today and got it a few feet off the ground but that’s about it. Seems there is a bit of a learning curve.

Yeah, a bit random but someone I know is looking to make a donation to a well-run local or regional horse rescue non-profit in someone's honor. Anyone have experience with such organizations? Greater Charlotte region preferred but not necessarily required. Thanks for any suggestions.

Interesting article - https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2015/05/28/english-majors-can-be-doctors-too-medical-school-rethinks-pre-med/ “There are very few [medical school] courses — maybe, I can think of one off the top of my head — where doing a lot of science in college helps you,” Flatow says...

So apparently the White Nile River in Uganda is some of the best paddling in the world but a dam is about to destroy that forever (or so long as the dam is there). My daughter has an invite to paddle it this Spring with some of the best white water kayakers in the world. So we are thinking...

So my girls are hitting me up for a wake board. They are 14 and 16 - both are around 5'4" or approaching 5'5"; at or just under 80 lbs (yes, we do feed them; expecting they will eventually hit 100 to 110). Imagine their friends will be bigger. The boat (SeaRay Sundeck 240) pulls them up on...

Anyone have an updated advice on these? Looking for 65 inch screen. (I like the curved screen since it will go in a corner, otherwise I would lean against UHD.) Costco seems to have some good deals. Anyone have thoughts on the other discount clubs? (Admittedly, an easy set up for BJ jokes)...

Damn, they are dropping again. My instincts on these things can be poor, but maybe rates will drop more, especially as we head into election season?

Daughter announced today that she needs her own computer for 9th grade, which seems reasonable. She wants a MacBook. Any preferences among the models for student use? Any other thoughts on what would be best for a high school kid and/or college student? Thanks.

Serious question and no intent to be inflammatory - if you are going to spend $62k+ per year on college tuition and expenses, and have other options throughout the country, why would you chose Wake? Is WFU a "better" or more valuable experience than what's available at peer institutions? What...

So the school is closing http://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/article_105c880d-25d1-5305-be18-8d5f08c50776.html Article cited financial pressures, trouble attracting students, etc. 99% of students received financial aid.

Hauntingly similar to the UVA case, except it seems like it might have really happened: http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2015/01/22/alleged-vanderbilt-rape-victim-takes-stand-thats-me/22167013/

Wife and I are going to the mountains tomorrow (without kids) and will hit Morganton, NC, around the dinner hour. Any restaurants worth recommending in the downtown area? The brewery to restaurant ratio looks pretty solid, so we will check out some of those, too. Thanks.

Looking for a few pieces of living room and master bedroom furniture for a family weekend mountain cabin. (Small 2 bedroom place) So where are the good deals? I used to know of a few places in Hickory but haven't tried to buy furniture up there for at least a decade. Thanks for your...
