Just a reminder that the REASON Trump wants the Peace Prize so bad is that Obama has one and he HATES Obama so much (for...reasons) that it drives him crazy that Obama has an award that he doesn't.

Yes, Disneyland and Walt Disney World continue to see price increases. Yes, the bottom-line price isn't cheap. At the end of the day, however, I still think it's "worth it." www.cinemablend.com/theme-parks/...

True, this new Ramsey place is supposed to include "entertainment," which won't be enough to fix that issue on its own, but certainly won't hurt

Real Talk: I feel like we don't talk enough about the absolute glow up that Downtown Disney has seen over the last couple of years. Once Carnaby and the steakhouse/BBQ open, it's going to be incredible.

YES! I just got glasses for the first time fairly recently and got two pairs for distance/near, but it drove me crazy b/c I couldn't do anything while ALSO, reading my phone. Progressives saved me. I still use my old "reading" glasses when I'm working at the computer though
