    Air Force families......questions about Lackland AFB

    Hi, we were in San Antonio earlier this year and we stayed at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Seaworld. We are from Canada so not with the air force visitors but I did notice there were many families associated to the forces staying at the hotel. I would also highly recommend this hotel due to...

    Any Suggestions for San Antonio????

    We were in San Antonio in January. I second the Fairfield Inn. It is right off a freeway giving you very easy access to all the tourist spots and it is very close to Sea World. It's a great place for families to stay at $69.95 per night.

    Anybody else from Alberta?

    I am so sick of everything. I'm tired of the snow, tired of the cold and tired of the bad roads. I could take one of them but all three at once is making me crazy. We live in north Edmonton and all I've done for 10 days is shovel. My husband always picks the best times to be out of town...

    Any Canadians been to Disneyland?

    From cold, snowed in Alberta. I've been to both. Twice to DL and numerous times to DW. I like both but I think I prefer DL. It doesn't seem to be such a mad rush and you don't need to rely on transportation to get to the parks. Both times at DL we stayed directly across the street from...

    San antonio help please

    Thanks for your replies. We're Canadians coming down to escape the cold of winter for a week. DD wants to look for her grad dress while we are there. I think I'll look in the NW area of San Antonio. We are renting a vehicle and don't mind driving. Can't wait for January!!!

    AIRFARE FROM ALBERTA in december - ????

    We just decided to go to Orlando during the Christmas season. I realize airfare is going to be a little higher during that time. I did a quick search through Expedia and we can get United flights out of Edmonton for $860 per person. I'd love to fly Westjet but the connections are awful...

    My heart breaks for my daughter...

    Hey, this is all teenage drama stuff. I went through this a couple of months ago with my 17 yr old. She told me about it after school and I felt for her. The next day I was still upset but by the time she got home from school she was over it. I agree with a previous poster -- I think these...

    I wish girls weren't so MEAN...

    This is exactly what I meant. Thank you. I loved the way my boys dealt with issues -- they'd punch each other, help each other up and be best friends again. None of the mean, nasty comments.

    I wish girls weren't so MEAN...

    Oops -- I guess I didn't express myself very well. I really was just venting. And I'm at work and was interrupted a couple of times while I was trying to type so I lost my train of thought. I know what you are all saying. I've always told DD to ignore people like that and would never give...

    I wish girls weren't so MEAN...

    My dd is 17 and in high school. Drama, drama, drama. Last week a girl she was friends with in elementary school (Kelsey) said something rather rude to my DD when they passed in the hallway. They haven't talked for over 6 years so really there was no need for it. I didn't like Kelsey when...

    Air Canada or Westjet for flying to LA?

    We always try to fly WestJet to LAX. It goes to Terminal 2 so it's not as crowded. I find the customer service with Air Canada to be somewhat lacking and on 3 out 5 trips to LAX our plane was late (???) and there was no customer service rep to be found to tell us what was happening. I find...

    Did you have more than 1 wedding dress - that you wore the same day?

    I didn't want to even have a wedding 20 years ago. It just wasn't my thing then but being the only daughter my mom was so disappointed. Our compromise was an evening wedding at Christmas and I just wore a suit. So, no, I didn't have 3 dresses. Being the practical person I am I wanted the...

    I am ready to KILL my Dh, I really am (warning:snoring vent ahead)

    Ditto for the sleeping drugs and earplugs. I tried the separate bedrooms thing and when DH husband snored loud enough to wake himself up he'd come crawl in beside me in the spare room, so I'd move to the next spare room and we played musical beds all night.

    Wisdom teeth removal - Am I just making my dentist richer???

    I had my top 2 removed at age 45 by an oral surgeon. It was the most horrendous experience of my life and I have to say I would rather give birth to an elephant. My situation was the bottom 2 came through and were removed by my dentist in my 20's due to crowding. During a routine x-ray at...

    Experience with missing school?

    I've pulled my daughter out every year since K for a week to two weeks. She's now in Grade 11. It's never been a problem. Only once did she get extra work to do while on vacation. Other than that I make sure she reads a bit each day while we are away.

    Rice Krispie Treat Question

    I find using the name brand marshmallows and Rice Krispies the best way to go. I've tried using generic products and had little to no success.
