    SECOND most magical place in the world

    Yellowstone and Tetons.

    Designated Survivor

    My guess is the First Lady. There's something about her that I don't like - to me, it seems like she's trying to keep her old life and not trying to become being First Lady.

    are Fitbits worth it

    I got a FitBit One for Christmas 2013; so far I've gained 5 pounds. :rolleyes: Completely my fault; I'm a stress eater. Anyway, I love my One because I clip it onto my bra each morning and forget about it. I didn't want a watch style, because when I'm gardening or working around the house, I...

    Picked up New Glasses-Post 32+ New Question

    Thanks for the replies re Transition lenses; sounds like they've improved, but not quite as much as I'd like. I'll either pay the price of two pair, or see if I can find clip-on sunglasses that don't look too old and fuddy-duddy. :)

    Picked up New Glasses-Post 32+ New Question

    Jumping in here re Transition lenses. I had them over 20 years ago and I didn't like them because they never got light enough indoors, they always looked tinted. Are the newer ones better? And are the Transition lenses polarized? I'm due for an eye exam soon so I may be in the same boat as...

    Yellowstone

    You're right - they are removing those cabins and replacing them with lodges. When we were there in 2014, they were just beginning to build the first of the new lodges; I think (not quite sure) that all of the new lodges are supposed to be done this summer and those old budget cabins will be gone.

    Yellowstone

    Glad you were able to find lodging inside the park! Keep trying, and you might get all your nights inside the park. You're wise to spend the night closer to the airport before you fly home, esp. if you have an early morning flight. Happy planning; you're going to love Yellowstone!

    Yellowstone

    Yellowstone is awesome - you'll love it! DH and I went in 2014, spent 11 days there between Yellowstone and Grand Teton, and we're going back again this summer. Yellowstone is huge, so it's best if you can try to stay inside the park; unfortunately, most of the in-park lodging will show as...

    Is Anyone Watching 11.22.63?

    We don't have Hulu, so I might do like a PP said and get the free month intro of Hulu once the whole series is released. How many more weeks does it have to run? DH and I both loved the book and were so disappointed when we found out it was only on Hulu. Do you know - would Hulu release this...

    Germany....If you've been "we need YOU"!!

    DH and I talked about visiting Germany ever since the night we met in 1983, and this past July we finally made it! It only took us 32 years to get there. We did a Globus tour of Munich, Salzburg and Vienna (sunday to Sunday) and loved it! Since we had an overnight flight to Munich, we went a...

    The most beautiful US state?

    Wyoming and South Dakota. Hoping to visit Alaska in the next couple of years, and based on what I've been reading, Alaska might be even more beautiful.

    Tried a New Recipe and Nobody Liked It...

    We call those kinds of recipes "Once in a lifetime" recipes, meaning "don't ever make this again!" :) And when DH or I try out a new recipe, we make sure to announce that it's a brand new recipe, and our boys are free to tell us what they think without hurting our feelings. We figure we can...

    summer reading

    If you want a good fluff book, i'm currently reading "The Royal We" by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. From the Barnes & Noble description: American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty...

    And now a flagpole incident

    I saw that video on Good Morning America today. Here's a link: http://www.whas11.com/story/news/crime/2015/06/13/metrosafe-police-investigate-shooting-near-3rd-and-oak-street/71178474/ Sure looks justified to me - the guy is coming at the police officer with a metal flag pole, even hits the...

    Survivor 30 **Feb 25th**Cast link added

    I wanted to vote for the next cast, but I had no idea who most of them were! I did see a few of the current players, and Kass looked familiar. I remember Woo's name, but he looks really nice all cleaned up. I saw the name Kelly Wigglesworth - isn't she from the very first Survivor? Wasn't it...

    My boys are long out of high school now, but to anyone who's child is participating in plays/musicals/shows at their schools: PLEASE get involved! Especially for the bigger productions, they really, really need help from parents. Our high school does a wonderful musical each spring. DH got...
