    Gay Dads Thread

    My husband and I and our one year old son will be going to WDW in August. We live in suburban Maryland, and adopted our son at birth in the Orlando Metro area. This will be his first time at a Disney park.

    Travel Warning

    I just booked a March vacation to London and Paris. Terrorism is a risk, but after living in Washington, DC for 20 years, it is a risk that I am accustomed to. The way that I look at it, thousands of Americans went to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight the terrorists, and I should not feel afraid...

    What specialty of Doctor can remove a Lipoma

    Many dermatologists can, and do, perform surgery in their offices. I had Mohs surgery for skin cancer in a dermatologist's office, and that is a fairly complex and specialized procedure. Go to YouTube and search " Sandra Lee" and "lipoma." Dr. Lee is a California dermatologist who performs...

    *Surprise* Trick a Treaters INSIDE the house!

    I experienced the same behavior repeatedly my first Halloween (2012) in my new neighborhood. The crossing the threshold, combined with blatant casing of homes (a home invasion occurred a week later) led my neighbors and me to begin an annual Halloween block party. We gather together to pass...

    Pretentious Crap

    I find the Lincoln commercials with Matthew McConaughhey super creepy. He looks so sleazy.

    Question for anyone in Recruitment or HR.

    I'm an HR Director, and I will not see anyone without an appointment. Our employment ads actively discourage phone calls. We do send postcards to applicants to confirm receipt of their application materials. I agree with the suggestion that she should indicate in her cover letter her strong...

    Most twisted movie?

    Pink Flamingos. I felt like I contaminated my brain after seeing it. Just disgusting.

    Besides Disneyland, WDW, Universal, etc..where else do you vacation?

    One of the best domestic, non-Disney vacations I've taken was a visit to Arizona. We visited Phoenix, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon before driving to Las Vegas for several days. Sedona is gorgeous, and the Grand Canyon is definitely worth seeing. We went in March and the weather was very...

    Preserve your tattoos after death

    To each their own, but if someone left me their tattoo, I would not accept it.

    San Diego suggestions....

    Go to Balboa Park for a walk around the gardens and museums. Have lunch at the Prado (reservations essential). Perhaps catch an IMAX film in the Ruben H Fleet Space Theatre. Balboa Park was built for the 1915 world exhibition celebrating the opening of the Panama Canal. It is absolutely...

    Vegas in the summer???

    If you are from a humid climate, you may find that Vegas in the summer is not bad. The dry heat feels cooler than a hot, humid climate.

    Older trick-or-treaters?

    If someone trick-or-treats in my neighborhood, they get candy regardless of their age. Three years ago, a frail elderly woman came to my door trick-or-treating. She appeared to be in her upper 70s. I gave her some candy and wished her a happy Halloween.

    Going to Vegas, which Cirque Du Soleil

    I have seen several of the Cirque shows in Vegas. If you and your husband like the music of the Beatles, then I recommend Love at The Mirage. Fantastic music, acrobatics, and artistry. Love gives you the full Cirque experience. O at Bellagio is also good, but can be slow in parts. A couple...

    The worst date you had ever been on

    Years ago, I went on a dinner date with a young man who was a nurse. We were discussing some of the crazy things that he had seen in his nursing career. As we were eating, he said that he had something to tell me. I replied, "OK," and then he hemmed and hawed for a bit. Finally, he said...

    Your Least-Favorite Vacation

    They are still together, but not married. The craziness has intensified, and DGF is the only member of the family (I've known her since I was 7 years old, so she practically is family) who routinely causes drama and stress. Thankfully, she is on the other side of the country. My husband began...

    Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis found in contempt, going to jail

    Good. As a public servant, Kim Davis is to follow the law and not her personal beliefs. If she places her religious beliefs ahead of our nation's laws, then she should work for a religious entity, or find a government position that will not cause conflict with her beliefs. Gay people pay...

    Your Earliest memory of Life

    Sitting in my crib, being changed on the changing table, being rocked by my mom in a rocking chair. All between the ages of 1 and 2. I have very vivid memories from age two onward.

    Your Least-Favorite Vacation

    I took my Dad and his longtime girlfriend to WDW in 2008, and that was easily the worst vacation I've taken. The trip was a disaster from start to finish. The DGF was obese and so deconditioned that she could hardly move. Soon after arriving, she claimed that someone had hacked her bank...
