Disneyland's Secret Restaurant {Gadling}
Feb 7th 2008 9:34AM Club 33 has been at Disneyland for many years. It was originally used by Walt Disney himself because he wanted a place where he could serve gourmet meals and alcohol to visiting dignitaries, and I suppose, his friends and family. I've been there many times and everytime it was so much fun slipping through the Blue Bayou line, ringing the doorbell to the restaurant, and watching people's faces as you disappear behind the door. The harpischord upstairs always fascinated me. The food is superb! Back in the 70's when we first started going there, it cost $20,000 to join. Most people, like ourselves, got our membership through work. Back then, you didn't even HAVE to eat there to get in free, but for many years now, to get in free you have to eat there. Also, back in the 70's people really dressed to go there, so you can imagine everyone gawking at us after we finished eating and then got on the Pirate of the Carribean ride. Fun!
The Plans for Dan Aykroyd's Winery {Luxist}
Jun 30th 2007 8:43AM Karin, although this may not be the type of enterprise many would approve, it is a business that WILL help the community by hiring more people and giving THEM the chance to support THEMSELVES. I agree that giving things is great, but Ted Turner opened my eyes when I watched him giving an interview. He holds the belief, and so do I, that giving people the opportunity to have a job builds skills, self esteem, and the chance to help people more than giving them handouts does.
Kids with pets are less stressed {ParentDish}
Nov 12th 2006 9:35AM If you are pretty sure you can't handle or don't want to handle the work of a dog or a cat right now, don't get either. My daughter and her husband brought home several dogs during a year's period, getting rid of them because of the work involved. They then got a cat and got rid of it because of the work involved. My granddaughter was learning NOT to get attached to an animal because it was going to ge given away. That's much worse than not getting an animal at all. She was deeply hurt every time one of these animals was sent packing and when she talked about a pet, you could hear the pain in her voice and see it in her face. She had the air of someone who wanted something but had learned that you couldn't have what you want in life. I was afraid that would carry over into other aspects of her life. Not a good life lesson to teach a child.
