Oh - I wasn’t trying to make sense lol. When I heard whistle I just thought of that scene with the boats haha.

I imagine that's sort of close... I think I've seen whistles recommended for tornadoes too. So if you are trapped in your house or something due to damage, you can make noise.

Yes, AP- annual/season pass
HP- Hersheypark
DW- Dutch Winderland

Ok, my flight is taking off to Chicago

I prefer to read it this way:

We had annual passes to my wife for my son was 1-4 then when did annual passes for my wife and Harry Potter when he was 5-6 and then moved on to only Harry Potter since then.​

Why is redeeming points so bittersweet?!

I just booked 3 roundtrip flights for spring 2020 and used 44,000 URs. Much better than cash, but it is sad to see the stash dwindle

I always feel the same way!!

DH finally has MRs so I was all excited and added his card to Amazon... no MR offers for me

 

[Limes96]

Holy cow! I might have to show these to Dh! Stinks that that one is September 1-4 which is during the week. I’m not sure if he could take off work but for $120/night?!

I’d be booking it myself if it wasn’t smack dab in the middle of dd’s volleyball season!

Right! If we were for sure going then... it's still a maybe currently.

Ok, I’ll bite. Why the heck would you need a whistle?

Communication I believe (?).

@Haley R -those lists are great and good for you (since you're unfamiliar with these storms) for doing your homework. I have to admit, our batteries probably need refreshing!

A couple of BTDT tips- I try to always keep my gas tank at 3/4 or more during Jul-Nov (people get violent at gas stations after a storm when there are shortages), and if you drink milk/eat bread remember those can freeze and for whatever reason (no idea tbh) bread, milk and bottled water fly off the shelves whenever the weather channel starts drumming up terror. So you can just throw some in the freezer for the season, hopefully never need it, and thaw in December

Make sure you have a paper copy of your cats' vaccinations since I've been in the unenviable situation of having to board my dog in another state when I had to return to devastation and couldn't have him here. Also, lots of kitty litter and food/water/drugs for them regardless of whether you stay or evacuate.

I was alone for 2 weeks after Ivan and lived off of canned pineapple, saltines and diet sprite. Not surprisingly, I rarely eat pineapple now, lol.

That happened to me! I removed and added the card a few times and eventually got both to work! Already redeemed my full $50 for the 20% off and waiting on Prime day to order my wireless charger with the $30 off $60.

Try again over the next few days.

 

[orangecuse]

I’ve tried for a week on 2 accounts and can’t get the 20% off to pop up. Can’t really complain though since it let me use the $30 off $60 twice

 

[Haley R]

Ok, I’ll bite. Why the heck would you need a whistle?

In case you need help lol. We bought a crank radio on amazon though that came with an SOS alarm

 

[Haley R]

I guess I don’t get it. Hurricanes are known. We ran into a couple in The Club at BWI who were escaping HB from NOLA and tried to leave yesterday. Why??? It was predicted to hit NOLA for the last few days???)

Mainly because we don’t want to pack up and leave every time a hurricane is predicted to come. Sometimes they turn and go a different way or die down before. It just makes sense to have these things in case we stay and it hits us harder than expected

Dh said no way. He said he doesn’t feel comfortable taking work off until he’s been at his job for 90 days. He also said he wouldn’t mind taking a day off for the Star Wars preview Seems a tad contradicting to me

Thank you! Those are really good tips. My car has a small tank so it’ll be fun keeping it at 3/4 lol. I didn’t think to freeze milk and bread so I’ll have to get some next week to throw in the freezer. We did buy two 40 packs of water bottles.

I didn’t think to have copies of their vaccines so I’ll make sure I make copies this week and put them in my google drive.

I’m really hoping we don’t have to leave. I have a feeling we will lose power even if one isn’t close. Our power flickered just during a small thunderstorm.

I think he meant "I don't want to take off until i've been at my job 90 days UNLESS its for the Star Wars AP preview"

Yep basically lol. I think it’s because I told him I’m taking the first available time even if it’s not on a weekend

 

[orangecuse]

@Haley R may be a good idea to buy a few jugs of water too if you have somewhere easy to keep them. As someone who grew up in a tornado area those are great for baths and refilling the toilet so you don’t have to use the tiny bottles!

I won’t say I am loving Amex quite yet (still bitter about taking the MR’s) but they are clawing their way back into my good graces....points for my Delta Biz Gold posted today! As a DP they did it as per usual when there is not a problem (within a couple days of making spend).

So Amex approval party!
