Somewhere near Vero Beach? You'll love retirement. You're going to find out what it feels like to wake up every morning without a knot in your stomach.

Unlike Rick Scott, the GOP nominee trying to take his job, who has already been caught in a corruption scandal involving over billing Medicare by millions $$$$. As far as pricing, Disney can charge big city prices if they want. But they shouldn't be surprised when people balk at a $35 six pack.

However with the economy being what it is the demands of the job have greatly increased in white collar work. They expect you to work longer, and harder with little hope of pay increases. That's how corporate America will be until the job market opens up once again, and people start having choices. You know how the game is played Leo.

And yes, WDW sucks. Heh.

The Mouse will not be getting my money because of his exteme prices on certain items.

I remember Jerry Van Dyke's comment about his retirement, and his home down in Mexico. They asked him " What do you do down there? ", and he replied " Nothin', and we don't start that until noon! ".
