    Trauma Scars and Disney Tattoos

    My advice is to wait. Give yourself more time. This was a very traumatic experience and it might be too soon to put another permanent mark on your body. You didn't choose the scar, but it's possible you may regret the tattoo even more. You may not always hate the scar like you do now, and you...

    Paying for BFF's trip. What are my obligations? Update Post #47

    Is it possible her husband is pressuring her to come along, and she is asking just to please him but hoping you say no? I think that's the best possible scenario. Otherwise your friend isn't much of a friend, to ask you to pay for her DH too after such a generous offer. Just tell her you...

    slo's Monday poll - Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts Coffee

    I hate Charbucks. Not sure how people developed a taste for coffee beans that are so over-roasted. I like to actually taste the flavor of coffee in my coffee. :) That said, I can grudgingly tolerate an Americano. So DD all the way!

    September 2015 Car Rental Watch

    I also have 2 wks left and rates are higher now than when I booked. Still hoping for some last minute drops. BTW when I searched Hotwire, there was a message stating that "demand at MCO is high in September." Is that a message that always pops up for MCO or is this just a busy year?

    Please Delete

    Are you sure she needs the new name on the passport? I was able to use mine with my maiden name when we'd been married less than a year (took a cruise at 11 months of marriage)... not sure if that's a rule that's been changed. But if maiden names weren't allowed, then out of the country...

    Love British TV Programs?

    The IT Crowd is truly the only show that's made me laugh until I cry :). It's a less dark version of Black Books. In that vein, check out Family Tree (directed by Christopher Guest). I love Brit humor. The one I like least of all those mentioned is Downton (with the exception of Maggie...

    How long until reservation change made via phone appears on MDE?

    Finally got this resolved. After talking to several unhelpful CMs who suggested I "wait another 24 hours," "don't worry, because it's correct on our end," or "Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?" - okay, I made that last one up -- I finally got through to one who was able...

    Ashley Madison an auspicous day

    Just to provide some insight: I recently had my email address stolen and then used to sign me up for a dating site based in Africa. I have never, ever used or even visited any kind of dating site, even when I was single. Oh wait, I did help a friend set up an eHarmony site about 10 yrs ago...

    Ugh, everyone check your Alamo rates. The Florida Surcharge is back - my existing rental went back up by $2/day.

    How long until reservation change made via phone appears on MDE?

    Just an update - MDE still doesn't show the correct info, nor has any confirmation email arrived. When I called, the new, correct info IS in their system... I just can't see it on my end yet. They told me it could take 24-48 hrs for the changes to show up. Honestly? I think no one there has a...

    How long until reservation change made via phone appears on MDE?

    Hi all. I just called a few hours ago to change the dates of a reservation. Everything seemed to have gone fine, however -- I still haven't received a confirmation email nor does MDE reflect the new dates. Is this typical or should I call back?

    Been home on vacay for 1 week with DD, How do I convince DH I no longer want to work

    OP, I haven't read all 6 pages, but here are my thoughts: To broach this kind of subject with my DH, I'd have a complete spreadsheet created with all the real costs of working vs. staying home. Most ppl I know underestimate the true cost of working - meaning, they exclude the dry cleaning, the...

    Alamo dropped today for me from my previous lowest price. Went down about $40 for 2 wks. HTH!

    Just got back....observation made at CRT dining

    This thread is making me seriously nervous about our upcoming ADR. When I'm paying upscale steakhouse rates for subpar eggs & bacon, I hope I would at least have decent service. hmmm.

    That kid has her mom well trained.

    "No Problem"

    Generally it doesn't bother me (actually can't think of a circumstance where it has)- but I do observe that manners and courtesy are rapidly declining, and expect they will continue to do so. I will note that in some languages, "no problem" really IS how one says thank you. Spanish - de nada...

    tax free weekend in texas

    Yes, but I warn you -- the sales never seem to be very good that weekend, and the stores are sooo crowded. I save more by shopping at other times.

    Favorite Running Shoes

    Skora Core. Also, Skora Fit. Any Skoras, pretty much. :) LOVE them. Minimalist (you can adjust the extent by leaving in or removing the insole), fit like gloves, and a have nice wide toebox. Regular shoes make my knees ache. I'm an underpronator with high arches, narrow heel and wide-ish...
