I was in Orlando for Charley. It made landfall as a Category 4. It weakened before it got to us, so I think it may have been 2, not quite sure. Honestly, the squall line prior to the storm was the scariest for me. I’m a midwestern girl, so that was new. It was not as scary as I thought it would...

It depends on the park. I worked attractions in Fantasyland, and there were certain areas we were able to access to look for lost items without needing to follow lockout/tagout. These were very limited. Other times, we could ride through the ride to retrieve an item if need be, that was most...

Rodeo, What an impossible situation you are in. Hopefully the hospice can help run interference. I would imagine if you said no, they could tell them not to enter and call the police if they do, not that that in itself wouldn't be stressful. Your whole family is in my prayers and I hope that you...

We know nothing about the date. I've been out with guys that flat out refuse to let a girl pay (and guys willing to split, girls pay the whole thing)... The guy sounds like a control freak. Sending an invoice and including a "processing fee?" That is not normal behavior. No, the girl should not...

Another Millennial here- I find both polls extremely hard to believe. As somebody mentioned, 1,350 is not a big sample size, particularly when you realize not all of them were Millennials and they did it via landline. Not a single one of my friends has a land line, so I imagine that poll may...

I don't know that people riding it makes them morbid. I had intended to everntually ride this ride prior to the accident and if it reopens and I have the opportunity, I will most likley ride it. Not because somebody died on it, but because it is a fun ride. Many rides have had fatalities over...

There is a lot of wild speculation in the media. I have worked for theme park rides for 10 years, 7 of those in Kansas City. I have not been on Verruckt, but am very familiar with industry standard. A big part of my job was training and auditing rides for safety. Many of us have been talking...

OP, I teach special ed and work with people with visual impairments. What is your son's acuity with the glasses? when kids are little, it can be hard to get a good prescription. It could be he is still not seeing well and may not know that he is not seeing well, that happens all the time with...

This year I have been cast as the Capt. of a female pirate crew for our local Renaissance Festival. It is part of my job to design the costume and really bring life to the character- but the catch is it must be as historically accurate as possible. Do you have any suggestions for...

UPDATE: It got approved! Due to your feedback, we did change the ages from 8-14, to 8-17 with plans to break out into groups. This way we can address the older teens. Our current "schedule" for the two days is: 8:00-9:00 Drop off and board games/socialization 9:00-12:00 Break students into...

Thank you for the suggestions! I hope to incorporate it into some year round programming. For now, we are doing a 2 day camp for kid ages 8-14 to get it off the ground. Perhaps if this is successful, we will have an older teen day in August or an outing in the fall. My goal is eventually to get...

I am presenting a proposal to my Lions District this weekend for a camp called CampSIBS (Siblings of Ill Brothers and Sisters). It is a summer camp for children who have siblings with life threatening or serious illness/disabilities. I'm finishing up the proposal, and had some questions that I...

Thanks for the advice. It did say to heat the pan first and then add the ghee, it was at that point it immediately went up in flames. I got a set of pans and don't know if one is a frying pan vs a sauce pan. Sounds like I may need to go get a griddle or crepe pan. It was frustrating because it...

I attempted to make the wraps out of the "Against All Grain" cookbook and let's just say it was an adventure. The wraps are basically a grain free tortilla. I followed the directions, and let's just say I had an adventure. I do not have a crepe pan or skillet so I used a large flat bottom pan...

Perhaps you all can help me. I am a manager of rehabilitation for an agency serving blind adults. Our clients are not scheduled every day of the week. I am trying to come up with some kind of attendance/tracking form in Excel that at the end can just total the days present and the days absent...

I want to become healthier and know that I need to very much overhaul how I am eating. I have half heartedly tried Forks Over Knives in the past and I do like that it is cruelty free, but have a hard time sticking with it. I've been reading about Paleo and find the research intriguing, but it's...

Background: Last week I stepped in a hole at work while carrying something. My ankle rolled in, then out, and there was a loud pop. I was diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain the next day. It affected both sides of my ankle and the top, with the inside and the top being the worst affected...

i think the Flex is what I had. I noticed it with clapping as well. It was very annoying. I'm glad to hear the charge does not. I might have to try that one.

I had my "oh no" moment tonight when it comes to my diet. I had to go up a size when buying clothes, and when my Stitch Fix came, only one item fit, and I am already at their biggest size. I used to have the Body Media monitor when I did Jenny Craig and loved it. It was super helpful and held...

That's what I was afraid of. I think at this point we will be recommending evaluation by a professional in this area. Out of curiosity: do those who have autism or family members with autism feel that the diagnosis is important for an adult? We're trying to find services the families might...
