    Blue Bird by Amex

    My daughter has the AAA travel money card. You can use it at Disney or any other place and all ATMs. She's 13 and has had no problems anywhere with it. You can get them at any AAA and start using it. It was 6.95 but then you can refill it for free. It expires in 2 years.

    Speakikng of cats

    Our cat wouldn't leave our rats alone at first. He would sit and paw the cage for hours. One day one of the rats bit the pad on his front paw. He got the hint and all is happy now. We can take them out and they are fine with the cat and 2 labs and a boxer.

    I really can't help but wanted to recommend Embassy Suites. We travel a ton as 6 and my first thing to do when we are going anywhere is see if there is one. They fit 6 nicely and always include a hot breakfast.

    guliana and bill break up?

    A friend of mine saw them in the airport together on Sunday or Monday. She commented about how cute they were so apparently they seemed happy. They were in Denver. Made me wonder if they are trying for another baby.

    14 year old, curfew and "rules" -- what are yours?

    Any change of location requires notification. If she says I'm going to Molly's then I expect to find her there. If they go across the street to Cara's house I expect a text to say heading to Cara's. If she wants to go to a movie, mall, putt putt, pool, etc. I expect her to ask then wait where...

    14 year old, curfew and "rules" -- what are yours?

    My daughter is required to let me know where she is and when she will be home. We don't have a "curfew" per say because I feel like it depends on her destination. If she gives me a reason to not trust her then the rules will change. She is currently in Europe with a tour group. She did exactly...

    Traveling in Europe

    DD is leaving June 18 for Europe. We ordered Euros from AAA and she will have an international debit card that I can reload from here. We have had lengthy discussions about how to budget but ultimately went with a Disney strategy. We are dividing her money into countries. So for each. Country...

    Was this reasonable?

    Thanks for all the replies. I did send an e-mail to Disney. I'm not upset with them but my thoughts have been couldn't they have driven us like in a golf cart or something there faster. I wouldn't have turned down paramedics. You know I never thought about 911. My first thought was I know Disney...

    Was this reasonable?

    OP here. That's the thing, he wasn't running the stand there was somebody there doing that and the reason I say I think he was a manager is he was in dress pants and shirt and a tie. Saw that a lot this weekend. I've never noticed them before. He did see my son, lets just say he caused quite the...

    stroller...WWYD? Those of you with lots of LO's

    My little ones are 5,4,3,and 2. In January we had one double and the 5,4,3 year olds shared the second seat. Worked wonderful. This past weekend we had to rent a second double. The heat was more then the kids could handle. Depending on if its going to be hot or cool might make a big difference...

    Was this reasonable?

    This past weekend I was at WDW with my family. We had an incident with our 2 year old son that is still bothering me. I guess I'm looking for your opinions about if I should bring this to Disney's attention. While playing in the Japan pavilion my son fell into one of the thick wooden benches...

    Mothers day - present?

    I get mulch. It's sort of become a family joke about the "mother's day mulch" because our neighbors think it's awful that I get it. It works for me though and I LOVE a freshly mulched lawn. Oh, and no I put it out. I like to do it and there is a definite sense of accomplishment when it is done.

    Need advice with landscaping..

    Where are you in WV? I live in Charleston and if you are close I can give you names of some people and even tell you about the best nurseries. My family loves gardening. My husband has also done a lot of stone work that dresses up the yard and requires virtually no maintenance. We just put in a...

    Need some advice on seizures

    My son is 4. Last summer while he was sleeping in my bed at 6:00am he had a seizure that last 5-10 minutes. Scared us to death. We had weeks of testing, blood draws, sleep studies, and in the end were told by the neurologist that sometimes it just happens. Growth spurts and dehydration can cause...

    Parenting Dilemma - Charming and I don't agree....

    I agree with your husband. If she sits out she will be behind. There is a lot of scholarship money that goes to athletes. My daughter is 5 and is being conditioned to be a competitive gymnast. She loves it and as I speak we are at the gym. When she doesn't want to come we still push it because...
