    Babies -What has changed? Advice for newbie Grandmoms

    I also defer to my kids' way of doing things. I am fortunate enough to live close and get DGS for a couple of hours in the morning once a week. Gives mom a break to do what she wants/needs and I don't miss too many milestones as he grows. My sister got him a safe as a time capsule to be...

    The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes

    If you can find two of Kurt's earliest movies are Follow Me Boys with Fred MacMurry. Kurt is probably around 12ish. He was also in a movie with Buddy Ebson called the One and Only Original Family Band. He was around 14 or so and Goldie Hawn had a bit part as a dancer in that movie as well...

    Whole Home Generators

    Had one installed 7 years ago after DH passed. It generally gets used about once a year for a few hours, sometimes more. It came in handy recently when electric company cut power to "save the grid overload" in 90+ degree heat for a day. Totally worth it to me not to have to worry about dealing...

    My Slow Divorce from Walt Disney World

    Done with Disney. I stay on this board and continue to try to keep up with what is happening within the company hoping to find some redeeming value. It is time to release the dream of reconciliation and accept the fact that Disney is nothing but a standard corporate giant whose only concern it...

    Sporting event attendance declining? wondering why?

    All of the above plus sport players are not the models of behaviors that they once were both on and off the field. It also goes without saying that people in the stands are generally more "me/might rights" focused as well. Who wants to put up with the rudeness or poor sportsmanship when it...

    Disney's Once Upon A Mattress

    Actually, the movie was made from the Broadway production which came out first in 1959. Carol Burnett played Princess Winifred in the Broadway production and then the Queen in the movie version. I didn't know Disney had made of version of it.

    Peter Pan Return To Never Land

    I liked the story. It made sense to continue the time line as from the dress of Peter Pan would have dated it to the 1910s. The next generation born would have been around WWII. It was a decent tween story-still young enough to believe in and use your imagination to escape in "magic" but...

    What classic live-action Disney films would you like to see on Disney+

    To be honest, I really don't watch much on Disney+. I have the dvds and I can find several Wonderful World of Disney full programs on YouTube for free. This morning I just finished watch the NBC 25th Anniversary Wonderful World of Disney Special hosted by Ron Howard and Suzanne Sommers from...

    Grandma rant (lovingly)

    Welcome to the club. I am into the mobile/eating stages now at 10 months old. DGS amazes me. Wait until it is time to start introducing foods. In my case, that was a whole different ball game. I was thinking mashed potatoes and applesauce from the table with baby food jars supplementing...

    Parenting trends you dislike?

    Sorry "because I said so and my house/my rules" are necessary to establish a foundation of boundaries. I am not one to negotiate with a young child over rules that need to teach right and wrong. Tone matters so there is no need to be rude about it. I am the adult and I am responsible for...
