Unfortunately, you’re not going to find many discounts for long term rentals during “season”. Season being January through March/April. We used to rent our place in Fort Myers for $5k a month for January, February and March. But could only get $1800 in the off months. Many people start out...

How can I ever forget. My Mom died 4 days before my DD was born and my Dad died Christmas Eve. Both bittersweet times for me.

Didn’t see the interview, but can only imagine the grief the entire family is feeling. However, all along I’ve questioned why does a child need to beat on a window? I’m a rules follower. If there is a barrier, I don’t cross it or allow my children to. I don’t put them over a fence for a...

Regarding vet care, Sully Animal Hospital in Centreville is pretty reasonable. Also know that you can question and deny tests. We’ve gone to Pender for years, but will question tests especially if the vet is new. We also get our pet meds at Costco. My dog is currently on thyroid meds and...

Christine, sounds like you made the right decision, even if your heart is hurting. I’d like to suggest you check out the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. First of all, it is a no kill shelter, although they can’t call themselves that since they do euthanize, but only in cases of end of life...

Where did you get the pup? I volunteer at the local animal shelter in NoVa and know that the counselors there would have worked with you and advised you how to introduce the two and given you some resources. She’s young at 6 months and can be trained. You need to be consistent on crate...

Today marks the third anniversary of my Dad’s passing. Yes, he passed away Christmas Eve. My Mom has been gone 22 years. She passed away four days before my DD was born. Christmas has always been a joyous holiday in our home and we continue to celebrate in my Dad’s honor. When my Dad passed...

More of a general rudeness. What in the heck is everyone carrying in those overstuffed backpacks? I have never been hit by more backpacks in my life! If you feel the need to carry your life around on your back, then please be aware of where you’re swinging that thing! We were recently at...

I’ve been in Fort Myers for the past two and a half months and have gone to Sanibel several times. Very sad to see what’s going on, especially how empty the beaches are. However, it’s not as bad as reported on the news. Turner Beach on Captive was a bit murky about six weeks ago, but cleaner...

Prayers and hugs to you and your family. Humor, even dark helps. After my mom passed, my SIL and I were tasked with picking out her burial clothes. Going through her closet was a trip down memory lane. We laughed, we cried and even joked about various outfits. We picked out a lovely skirt...

Get the nitrous! I had not been to the dentist in years, long story and huge fear. Anyway, been going to get lots of work done. Had two teeth pulled with nitrous and novacain. Did not feel a thing! Also, the doctor gave me a “cocktail” of Advil and Tylenol to follow for 24 hours after the...

My 1994 Tahoe is still on the road today! I bought it new, and sold it to a friend in 2004 with approximately 90k miles on it. We always did the maintenance on it and to my knowledge, it’s never had a huge issue. Currently has close to 300k miles on it. When I sold that I bought a 2004 GMC...

I read that she was afraid the people who would be seated next to her would be uncomfortable, and that’s why she wanted the row just for her and her family. No one but her brought up her size. The issue I have with this is if she felt she was fat shamed at Universal, why did she take it...

We just went through this and also chose COBRA. We are able to use it for 18 months. Liked that I was able to keep all my doctors and same coverage. As an FYI. If you go on the exchange to get a quote or research, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT give your phone number. I lost count after 17...

So sorry to hear. If I can offer a suggestion. When the time comes for your pup to be let go, allow the other pup to sniff the dead body. I know it sounds odd, but dogs understand death, they don't understand disappearing. Our vet suggested this the last time we had to let a pup go, and our...

if you read the policy, no where does it specifically talk about the hotel room itself. I would venture to say that that was done to create a grey area. Meaning that if your dog was uncrated, unsupervised and barking, they could ask you to leave the property while pointing to the policy. We...

Just to clarify, and for my own personal information, I contacted Lowes Royal Pacific hotel regarding their dog policy. Dogs CAN BE left unattended in the hotel room as long as they are crated. Whew! Thought I had been in violation all these years and wanted to make sure since I'll be there...

Well then, I guess that I've been in violation of the policy 12 times in the last eight years. Interesting that when I make my reservation and tell them my dogs will once again be joining us for our 4-5 day universal vacation, they don't tell me my dogs can't be left alone in the room. They do...

We have stayed at the Lowes Royal Pacific Hotel numerous times and left our dogs unattended in the rooms without an issue. I called the hotel to verify their policies the first time we stayed there and were assured that as long as my dogs were not a nuisance, they could be left alone. If they...

Well, Disney has me as a customer again! Sorry, I'm in the minority here. As my name says, I have dogs and travel with them all over. We've stayed at the Lowes hotels at universal for the past 8 years because they take dogs, and have not visited Disney since they don't. Our vacations to...
