We have stayed at the Grand Floridian and the Poly with 5 of us (2 adults and 3 children). While both were great as they have 2 beds and a daybed I liked the convience of the Poly being so close to the Transportation centre. As well you can sit on the beach and watch the fireworks at MK or the...

My kids have had this at least once each but it could be different causes. It looks alot like prickly heat (this would be my best thought). All it takes is for them to be overheated (maybe too warm of clothes on a warm day or while sleeping). If she is still wearing an undershirt it would...

Glad you had a great trip! What a busy time! We are planning on Vegas - if you don't mind I have a few questions. How far was it to Grand Canyon? Did you stop at or see Red Rock Canyon? How are the rooms and bathrooms at Venetian? Which view would you recommend? Aladdin is also on...

I agree that red is not a sign of disrespect. Maybe people equate red with the devil and hell or something. As I said earlier, working in the business, I have seen red and all kinds of colours and never have thought anything of disrespect. When we see inappropriate types of clothing (i.e...

I work at a funeral home and have seen it all. It is rather sad that our director sometimes needs to give us a "low down" on the family and "who is not allowed to sit here or there" or "who is not speaking to who" however death is part of living and everyone has a right to grieve whether friend...

Anyone who has travelled to Las Vegas recently or lives there - would you happen to know if they have already started changing the Aladdin Hotel over to the Hard Rock or not? We are planning a trip in August and this is one my short list but I do not want to stay there if it is in the middle...

I do not know your complete financial situation however I can understand the guilt you may feel as money for holidays can always be used somewhere else just as easily. Sometimes you can buy a car, put the money towards your mortgage or RSP, or away for a potential emergency. Our thinking is...

Gotta love those red hatters! We have a store in Stratford Ontario (which by the way is a great place to shop) and have seen more and more of them each year. We have even devoted a table in our store to products promoting the society (including calendars). I am not quite at this age yet...

Great info everyone however getting back to my original THREAD, just my husband and I are taking this trip to Vegas and I still would like some opinions on places to stay and eat. Since it is just the two of us we would like to stay on the "strip", possibly Aladdian, Paris or Bellagio. If...

We have taken a few all inclusive holidays (love Mayan Riviera) and just took a land/sea Disney cruise in early March. I think it depends on when you are planning on cruising and what your family likes to do on holidays. We are a water family and love to snorkel and swim plus we love to rent...

We live in Ontario and each school board have much different qualifications and tests to identify a child as "gifted". Our daughter was identified in grade 3 (she is now in grade 8 and off to highschool in the fall). She was tested through the Canadian Cognitive Abilities Test. Some other...

I agree with the laminate vs peel and stick. It's just as easy to use (except for some extra trim needed). I was just shopping for some and there are tons of options.

Yes we are leaning towards Bellagio, thanks. We were in Disney at the end of February and then on the Wonder - and it really wasn't a holiday so I have a business trip in the US in the summer and thought it would be a good opportunity to have an adult holiday. Thanks for your comments

There nothing more frustrating than waiting for appointments at the doctors office or hospital. You sit there thinking that there is a hundred other things that you could be doing! At least you can get a mammogram though - around here the wait to get an appointment for a non-emergency...

Thought I'd ask fellow Canadians their opinions on hotels to stay at in Vegas. We want to stay on the strip in the middle of the action. I have looked at Paris, Aladdin and Bellagio. Which would you recommend or any others to recommend? Gambling is not a priority but we would definitely want...

I remember seeing a parquet wood flooring type peel and stick at Home Depot last summer. It looked pretty good considering it was peel and stick. I am sure they would still have it or something close to it. I've never watched House Doctor - sounds like a good concept Good luck!

Our school shares buses with two different highschools and two elementary schools. All 13 buses go to our school and hundreds of kids get off and transfer to another bus which will take them to their school. Therefore we have some 3 year olds in Junior Kindergarten with 18 year olds on the...

Here in Ontario our curriculum had a full revamp about 12 years ago. Fortunately my oldest daughter was in grade 2 at the time so she was able to adjust. This program has really focused on primary division and it's expectations. When I speak to a parent who is considering not putting their...

From a Canadian perspective = 1-2 Sorry - I know you do not want a debate however: I give him a two because for the first time in a long time your President has finally spoken to our Prime Minister. He would not "take any phone calls" up until now. Not withstanding that our current and...
