I'm sorry that you are facing this difficult choice. My DH and his siblings are currently going through the same thing concerning their mother, who is dying of Alzheimer's Disease. You might try googling "Hard Choices for Loving People" (not sure if the link is allowed here or I would have...

I am so sorry that your family is going through this. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. Until people have known someone afflicted with this awful disease, they commonly think that it involves only forgetfulness, but it is so much more than that. My husband's mother, now 93, has Alzheimer's...

OP, I do not really have any words of wisdom with regard to Sprint, but I wanted to send you the virtual version of a big hug. I completely understand how you are feeling, as we also lost our 20 year old son in a car accident this past December. I understand why that voice message is so...

I am so sorry that your family is going through this. Alzheimer's is a monster. Until people have known someone afflicted with this awful disease, they commonly think that it involves only forgetfulness, but it is so much more than that. My husband's mother, now 93, has Alzheimer's Disease in...

Your ticker says you are staying at POR, so it should be really easy for you - Best Friends is right across the road from POR. (I think the name of the road is Bonnet Creek Parkway.)

We used Best Friends for our December trip. When you check your pets in, they will ask you a lot of questions about each one and you have to fill out a form. They ask if your animal has any specific issues with people or with other animals. I felt that they really tried to get a good sense of...

You may not be aware of it, but there is a beautiful kennel right on Disney property. We used it last month. The facility is immaculate, they took excellent care of our dog. And you can visit your pet any time you want during your trip.

You can purchase a divider for the crate to temporarily make it smaller (the crate we bought for our puppy came with the divider). You want the puppy to have enough room to turn around and lay down comfortably, but dogs are naturally clean and do not want to poop where they sleep. When the puppy...

OP, your DH and his siblings need to consult an attorney not only for issues such as power of attorney, but because North Carolina is one of the states that has filial responsibility laws. This means that adult children can be held financially responsible for expenses related to the care of an...

We had an adorable little pug back when I was in high school, and he suffered from this condition. He unfortunately eventually died from it - he was only 4 years old. We later learned that pugs should always use a harness, never a traditional collar and leash, to avoid putting pressure on the...

Oh, your puppy is beautiful! We have a Scottish terrier, they have very similar faces (except for the color and the ears). Enjoy her, she looks like a real sweetheart!

Dear OP - I have a lot of experience with this - my DS was a toddler like yours when my MIL moved in with us, and he is now about to leave for college. We've been doing this for the past 16 years, and I have learned a few things in those years (disclaimer - I realize that not everyone's...

The first time we were at WDW for New Year's Eve, we got up super early and were at MK by 7 a.m. The park was closed by 10 a.m. and it was so crowded that it was scary after a while. When we wanted to leave about 8 p.m., it took us nearly 2 hours to get from Fantasyland to the park entrance...

I was wondering if anyone has stayed in the 1-bedroom Artisan Suite at the Grand Californian Hotel. I believe that the suite sleeps 5 (we're only 4 people), but I don't know the configuration of beds/pullouts. I am trying to figure out if we need to bring DD's aerobed, since she and DS are too...

Wow, I would love it if JetBlue flew out of MacArthur! We usually fly JetBlue but it is a bit of a hassle to get into and out of JFK - I always prefer to stay away from the Belt Parkway if I can help it!

I wasn't aware of the Q & A - must have been interesting. Victor Garber still has a beautiful voice, 30 years after Sweeney Todd. He's one of my all time favorites.

I couldn't agree more with this post. Fellow Sondheim lover here. I have seen, in no particular order: Fiddler on the Roof - original production - the first show I ever saw when I was a little girl Cats (hated it) Sweeney Todd (original cast w/Len Cariou, Angela Lansbury, Victor Garber...

We have been to WDW several times during President's Week. The schools in the Northeast are closed that week, so it is a very popular time for families to travel to WDW. Also, the Daytona 500 is the weekend before President's Day, so many people go from that event to WDW. If at all possible...

The answer to this depends partially upon when you are planning to attend. If you are going to be there during the week containing Christmas or the week between Christmas and New Year, and you are going to try to see CP without the dining package, you should be prepared to wait in the standby...
