    Unclaimed Property

    Just be careful what "service" you use. Some are not part of the state government and may require money from you to search. Some are just there to get your information.

    What would you like to wearing at your funeral?

    It doesn't matter to me. I'm going to be cremated. It's my last chance to have a hot, smokin' bod......

    Stupid names for a child

    Up until sometime in the 90's, French parents had to formally name their child from a large list of "approved" names. You could call them whatever you wanted, but their birth certificate had to have an "approved" name on it. Now, you can name them whatever you want in France, AS LONG AS the...

    Stupid names for a child

    I was watching a House Hunters show where the mother named her son Havoc. She said she named him that to "make him strong". What she actually doing is making sure his teachers look at his name and mentally say, "Oh boy, here comes trouble!"

    Earliest memories of Disney

    1958. I was 10 years old and my grandparents took me out to California to visit relatives and we all went to Disneyland. I was absolutely dying to ride on the Jungle Cruise but my two cousins didn't want to ride on anything I chose. For some reason, the rule of the day was "majority rules"...

    You have to replace the oldest thing in the room you're in with something new , what are you replacing?(non person?

    An antique rocking chair that belonged to the other half's grandmother. It's ugly and you can't safely sit in it. I'd love to replace it with something you can safely and comfortably sit in.

    You break the most expensive thing in the room you're currently in , what do you break?

    An antique carved chest I bought in Turkey, but I'm not sure how I'd break it as it probably would survive a direct nuclear hit.

    you die due to the heaviest thing in the room you are in falling on you . what falls on you (not person)?

    The filing cabinet (I'm in the home office). It's full of the most useless things that I'm going to get around to getting rid of.....someday....any day now....real soon.....as soon as possible....the first month that has 32 days in it.

    Disney Parks To Allow Gender-Flexible Costumes. What exactly is Gender Flexible?

    The times they are a-changing...… When my daughter started at Disney World in the late 1980's, she got scolded for wearing a small tortoiseshell barrette in her hair. Blondes could only wear gold or silver barrettes. Brunettes had to wear brown or black barrettes. I have no idea what redheads...

    Destin in September, or should I go with PCBeach?

    Destin over PCB, definitely, and most certainly mid-September over late August. Anything up to Labor Day is a madhouse. If the "June Grass" (or as I call it "Campbell's Cream of Seaweed Soup") is coming in, try a couple miles up or down the beach. If all else fails, the Destin Cut is usually...

    Wearing a Walking Boot at Disney World

    I was in and out of a boot for a year and a half. One thing I wish I had realized earlier was that you need to wear a shoe with a thick sole on your good foot.....a sole or heel that's about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. If you wear something flat like thin-soled sandals, you're going to be higher on one...

    Mail Delivery Person Comments on Packages

    Whatcha wanna bet.......somewhere on another forum, someone is posting: "I'm a mail carrier and I have this customer who seems to never get out of the house because she orders everything on line, so I'm being extra friendly to her by making comments about her packages but she acts like I'm...

    Elderly Parents

    I meet my elderly mother frequently at the gate. I just go to the ticket counter, tell them I'm meeting an elderly lady in her 90's and that she will need assistance through the terminal. Easy-peasy. They always give me a pass.

    Asheville, NC with older teens

    Side trips to Chimney Rock or Grandfather Mountain would be fun. There is also Linville Caverns, which has a short cave tour (don't expect Mammoth Cave or Carlsbad Caverns, though). Tubing is fun for everyone. There is also a fantastic ropes course/zipline park.

    Anyone watching Manifest?

    It was not as good as I hoped but not as bad as I feared. A little draggy, perhaps, but watchable. I devoted six seasons to Lost and the last couple of seasons I wanted to put my foot through the TV. Every time they promised "ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED", some new "mystery" was introduced and a...

    Visiting Colorado Altitude Sickness should I be concerned?

    I took Diamox (prescription medication) as a preventative for altitude sickness when I was up in the Andes (over 14,000 feet) a few years ago. I started two days before leaving the US, but stopped after three days because of the side effects. My hands were tingling and anything carbonated...

    Teenagers with pacifiers?

    They were popular with the teens back when my daughter was in high school back in the 1980's. I don't know about today, but back then they were just teens being silly. Just one more fad that came in like a lion and went out like a lamb.

    Has anyone here tried Gabapentin for nerve pain?

    I've been on Gabapentin for about 2 1/2 years now for peripheral neuropathy. It was prescribed for me to take it 4 times a day. I started out with 3 times a day and then moved down to 2 times. When I have a flare-up of pain, I'll up it to 3x or even 4x for a while and then work back down...

    Is clothing required on your verandah?

    I can't remember which ship it was on, but there was an outside staircase that cut diagonally across two floors of floor-to-ceiling cabin windows. Early one morning I was trotting down the staircase and noticed that a guy was standing in the window au naturale , enjoying the view. I assumed he...

    Is clothing required on your verandah?

    I can only speak for myself, but if this flabby old great-grandmother were out naked on my verandah where someone could see me, everyone in the immediate vicinity would probably be hitting the eye-wash station. So as a public service in regards to the mental and physical health of my fellow...
