    Trip August 13 - 17 Total Newbie!

    Haha we definitely stayed at CCI and definitely drove to the park. I don't remember much from that trip except for one day we parked our car and my dad thought he wrote down what row we parked in. Well when we came out 12 hours later we walked up to the car and the key didn't work - it wasn't...

    Trip August 13 - 17 Total Newbie!

    We are warming up to DCA. I guess we're hesitant because we're not really "show attenders" nor "pixar" people. When I think of Disney I think of Mickey, Pluto and It's a Small World. I might be able to talk FH into getting a park hopper for at least one of the days. Is CCI close enough to...

    Trip August 13 - 17 Total Newbie!

    Maybe I'm missing something, but we looked over the attractions at DCA on the website and there was nothing that stood out to us as "must see" when we only have two days and have such fond memories of Disneyland since we have not been since DCA has been around. We stayed at the Candy Cane in...

    I have a couple of things I say to myself when faced with temptation NOTHING tastes as good as being thin and healthy feels It will still be there tomorrow, and if I still want to it tomorrow then I can have half

    OT - Do you recycle your towels?

    I just finished reading the thread and think it's so funny. I am definitely a re - user. My parents both came from families with lots of kids and not alot of money so we were raised pretty frugal. I can't really remember how often we used towels for as kids but I think it was more than a...

    What is your 'coolest' scar?

    I am a klutz and not ashamed to admit it! I have more scars than I can count but my favorites are: 12" from the base of my neck towards the top of my head (4 neck and brain surgeries) 18" from above the middle of my shoulder blades towards my bum (but even cooler are the titanium rods...

    I need to vent! Not to happy with a coach!

    As a young athlete I spent an entire season on the bench (I literally did not play in one game) There were plenty of tears (me and my mother) and hard feelings towards the coach. My Dad made me stick it out and the next two years I played in almost every game. I bring that experience with...

    Christmas birthdays..

    I have a December birthday. As a child we often had my "friends" party in November so it wasn't during "Christmas Party Season". It usually worked out pretty well. I often got the dreaded "combo" birthday / Christmas present (never from my parents). It usually wasn't a larger gift than I...

    OT: How long for a broken toe to heal?

    I've broken several of my toes on separate occasions and what works the best for me is to wear closed shoes (trainers). It kind of hurts when you first put them on but I felt good knowing my toes were "protected" from being stepped on. I also buddy tape - I have one that didn't heal properly...

    Letter to teachers for missing school?

    From a teachers POV Every school is different but usually the teacher doesn't excuse the absences. That is done by administration / attendance officer. Please send a separate note to the office in regards to attendance. Depending on the attendance policy, work may or may not be made up for...

    High School Class Rings

    I would discourage getting a high school ring and waiting to get a college / university one (if he is going to post secondary). I really wanted a high school one but missed the order deadline. I got one in my senior year at uni and have worn it every single day! BUT I am a girl and love it...

    college parents what about the linen package?

    I wouldn't do it. One of my favorite things my mom did before I left for university was she washed all my sheets and towels and put them in a garbage bag and tied the top. I kept them in that bag until I needed them......they smelled like "home". I took the pillowcase home whenever I could...

    Need a cute but supportive sandal

    I would recommend Birkenstocks. I have been dealing with various foot issues and my podiatrist has forbidden me to wear flip flops or any style you need to hold on with your toe. I am on my third pair I wear them so much -- one pair survived a 3 month backpacking tour of Europe and were still...

    Any teachers out there???

    I'm a teacher and the gifts I like the best are "consumable". Gift card for the mall, a restaurant or a day spa. I love when the students add something individual, like a picture with a note. Not to sound ungrateful, but I don't love receiving mugs and other "knicknacks" that are just...
