    Need girls weekend destination ideas

    What about USVI? I was just there and loved St. John - great snorkeling, pristine beaches. St. Thomas is cheaper, and has an airport with service from the major carriers.

    Wanting to dump Comcast

    We got a killer deal with Comcast this summer when we moved. Blast, basic (and I mean BASIC) cable, and HBO (random...) for $35 a month. We already had Amazon, and added Netflix. With HBO, we get HBO Go. We also get streaming Comcast, which is very similar to having a DVR in that all the shows...

    Remember when? Disney World nostalgia...

    Can't believe we went six pages (unless I missed it) but what about the Electrical Light Parade on Main Street in DL? We saw it once at DCA maybe 13 years ago, it was after we go married, but before the kid joined us.

    Anabella Hotel?

    THANK YOU! I had booked the Anabella this morning on a lark, then came here to search. I saw your post, opened my Living Social email and found the deal, and upgraded. I think today is the last day. I got an extra 10% off, so for $107 per night, Concierge with parking and breakfast, which is...

    Secret Santa gift ideas for one who loves to cook? $1-$5 and $10-$15 range

    Lodge cast iron! So many sizes and pieces. You can get a panini or bacon press, which I use all the time. I agree on salts and spices all week, then cast iron on the big day. Costco just had four mini pans with a cookie mix in each for $17.

    Quotes, lyrics about stars

    OP, I am looking on Pinterest to make a headboard. Can you share the tutorial or a DIY link that was your inspiration? I second the Coldplay quote, BTW.

    Please tell me about your Toyota Prius...

    I have an 07 with 113k on it. I get about 48 mpg all highway, on cruise. I struggle up hills, but make up for it going down them by coasting. Yes, there may be a slight difference up front, but you will make it up. Do the math on what you spend now in gas and what you will be spending when...

    Exhaustion could be caused by yeast overgrowth

    Same here, gave up bread/pasta, simple sugar fruits, and most refined sugar, well, all white foods too. Instantly lost 30 pounds, and felt great. My weakness is ice cream and fries, if u completely gave those up I'd probably drop another 30.

    Allowance

    Like a PP, we go to work and earn a salary. No work = no $. Why wouldn't the same apply to a child? She will be better prepared to manage her money when she gets older. Giving an "allowance" implies entitlement (yes, we follow DR). She also has three buckets: give, save and spend. For every $1...

    Misinformed CM's or am I wrong? (Question regarding upgrading to APs)

    See, this is what I thought too. We arrived on a blackout day late in the afternoon. We had a GC to Rainforest and planned on walking in DTD for a few hours. The wait for RFC was too long and it was Prom, so we decided to buy PH and head in instead of getting APs the next day (which we needed...

    Single Rider RSR

    After using FP and wide right (so three rides for us over two days), we convinced DD8 to do single rider and see the ride at night. She loved Matterhorn, Splash and Grizzly with us, and was feeling adventuresome. We walked up together. At the top of the queue, Dh went first. We had a waiting...

    Transferring to Tampa

    I don't know about Tampa, but we just relocated and DD is thriving. Kids are resilient. We made her part of the process on our house hunting trip, and she is beyond thrilled. We don't have family nearby, bonus for you that yours may follow!

    was too much expected of this teenage mother?

    OPs question was "Too much expected of this mother". Let's just answer that question. The GF sounds like a control freak. This girl probably had little to no access to birth control, or reliable information on how to use it. As a teen, she probably thought it would never happen to her. "Just...

    Mazda CX5 or Hyundai Santa Fe owners?

    We have an 01 Santa Fe with 140K miles. Last year, we replaced the steering column, but other than that, it is still kicking. Mileage is not great - about 20 miles to the gallon. Then again, I drive a Prius, so it is our back up car. It too has been across country, up and down the west...
