We are older too, but went ahead and got a puppy, and are glad we did. Most dogs don't live longer than about 15 years, so if you want a young dog there is no reason to assume you won't be there to grow old together. We know our kids will take our dog if the worst happens, but we decided we...

Be prepared for some of the Disneyland rides to be Disneyland-lite in WDW. Shortened into their essence. It's fun to compare when you're used to DL.

When Disneyland was built in the 1950's Walt Disney bought the land he could afford, out in the middle of what was then a lot of orange trees and not much else. As soon as others realized what a cash cow Disneyland would be, all kinds of motels, restaurants, etc. sprang up right on all the...

Hi tiggerfied - I'm sorry, but there is no availability for BC studios for 5 nights until the beginning of September! I'm afraid studios are very popular and tend to book up quickly. Hopefully you'll be able to book another resort. Good luck!

Hi - I had to rent points myself for a stay at the Grand Californian at Disneyland, so I am renting my WDW Beach Club points out to make up some of the cost. I have up 182 current Beach Club points available, with the possibility of banking these + borrowing more if needed, so I can make...

Hi - I'm interested in renting: 135 pts 1 bedroom, Grand Californian Nov 1 - 4, 2024

Hope you both had a great time (and got your money back on the scooter you probably didn't use!) I had a stent placed, and the next day I felt great and my friend and I celebrated at Disneyland. I'm so grateful for modern medicine and those who choose to practice it. My grandfather had...

I am a long time local and know the area you're talking about really well. If it were me I wouldn't bother about the outlets. Although you might run across something now and then, overall I've never found deals at outlets that are any better than all the sales on stuff you can find at a...

Lemon Madeleines. Made one batch, took it out of the oven. Realized I forgot to put butter in the batter. Threw them all in the trash. Went to the store for more lemons and flour. Made lemon madeleines. Again. Grrrr.

Probably most people will realize this, but just in case: If you want to buy a magic band on the Disney website, and don't care how fancy it is, make sure to scroll all the way through to the end of the options. Instead of paying $34.99 or $24.99, there are plain ones in nice colors for $9.99...

I can't speak for international travel, but I fly a lot domestically. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone behaving inappropriately on a plane. There's always an occasional bad apple, but given how stressful flying is these days I'm heartened that, in my experience, almost everyone...

I always try to stay aware of the other people driving on the road with me. In the situation the OP describes I would definitely have adjusted my speed or changed lanes. The person trying to merge into my lane almost always has a short pathway to manage that merge. It can be dangerous to...

A childhood

"I feel beat up. Worn out. I'm so tired. I feel like I just came home from a war." Why not do the opposite of what you had to do last year, and give yourself a break. If you're tired, rest. If it takes the same amount of time to recover (a year) than it did to go through all that (a year)...

I think what is expected probably still has a lot to do with where you live. In our area a jacket would still probably be expected, at least during the ceremony.

Sticking my head in where it might not be welcome. Please pay no attention if this doesn't make sense for you. Are you sure you want semi-gloss? Eggshell has a bit of a subtle sheen, but might be something to consider for most of your walls, except maybe in the bathrooms?

Of course not! :rotfl2:

A long time ago after my first child was born, my breasts became incredibly painful. When I asked my GYN about this during his exam, the crabby old man told me to, "get a bra." I was too young to do anything but sit there, humiliated. I never went back to him, but I've also never forgotten...

I found it fascinating to know a little more about why the Sebastian / Vero Beach area is called the "Treasure Coast". Apparently the coast was historically noted for shipwrecks and all the precious cargo those ships lost. McLarty's Treasure Museum (on A1A in Vero Beach) tells the tale of a...

We fly SW almost exclusively, and we're on their planes a lot, often a couple of round-trips a month. Very occasionally I encounter someone who's confused and asks me to explain what they should be doing, but offhand I can't remember a time when someone just refused to move to the right...
