    Vacuum cleaner for home with pets

    The Dyson Animal works very well on the fur from our Husky/Cattle Dog mix, Millie. It even has a pet brush attachment (extra cost) that sucks up the dislodged fur as you brush your pet.

    losing weight by walking

    It should help, provided you don't "compensate" or "reward" yourself with extra food. Most exercise doesn't burn nearly as many calories as people think, and most food has more calories than people realize.

    No more GAC's as of 10/9

    I'm actually one of the people that have fully admitted that our GAC was an unlimited FastPass. We used it exactly the way the CM told us to use it, beginning with our first trip in 2001, and have used it that way every trip. It was never front-of-the-line for us ... that's only for...

    At no point did I state that my son's disability was worse than what you deal with. You used the term "not much fun" which, I think, trivializes the entire issue. For all I know, you could be in terrible pain most of the time. If getting to use the FastPass entrance improves your Disney...

    No more GAC's as of 10/9

    You've actually seen 30-40 people using GACs all at the same attraction at the same time?!? :confused: How did you know they were using GACs and not just regular FastPasses? Whenever we used ours, we just showed the card to the FastPass CM (who verified that we had the "alternate entrance"...

    I don't think we know enough for me to be truly upset. I'm just trying to point out to the "fair is fair" crowd that line-waiting isn't the only issue that parents of disabled children face trying to have a fun Disney vacation. There's a lot more to it. It seems that instead of being able...

    No more GAC's as of 10/9

    Trust me ... the actual experience goes far beyond "not much fun". :( By using the GAC as Disney originally intended (not "scamming the system" or bringing huge parties with us), we were able to take in as many attractions as a "normal" family of three. Without it, we'll be missing out. I...

    Thanks so much for this. :goodvibes At least it seems that a few people do understand that the issue is a little more complicated than just the lines for the rides. We've been bringing our disabled wheelchair-using son to Disney for many years, now, and we've used the GAC. Yes ... in most...

    Hawaii ?

    It was amazing! Except for a couple of palm trees, every unit a completely unobstructed view of the ocean, right across to the islands of Lanai and Molokai. Each morning you can watch the clouds start to form across the tops of the mountains as the sun begins to rise and the sunsets were...

    Hawaii ?

    We've been to Maui twice, both times in October; once 22 years ago for our honeymoon and once, again, 2 years ago for our 20th anniversary. The 20th anniversary trip was, hands down, the best vacation we've ever had. As others have already stated the weather is quite specific to the area...

    One PP is done, what do you do with RAW files?

    I organize my photos starting with a top-level directory for the year and then other subdirectories beneath that for subjects, events, etc. I also keep one directory I call "Best of RAW." Most of my RAW files get discarded when I'm done processing, but anything I'm particularly proud of...

    Airline Pilots- Is this even allowed?

    I'm not a pilot, but I've been flying radio-controlled planes for a long time. Little model planes have exactly the same controls as a real plane, and it's really not possible to *turn* a plane without banking it. The rudder doesn't really steer the plane the way a car's wheels do, it's...

    Anyone willing to share a Tinkerbell Flying photo with me?

    It's not a very good one, but it might be good enough (printed small) for a scrap book. And, I'm pretty sure it's really TinkerBELL: Getting a good shot of flying Tink is tough; she's small, high up and far away, moving fast and lit-up against a dark-black sky! I tried to get a better...

    DAK Cutbacks

    Just to be clear, I'm not talking about your personal opinion on whether you would like it or not ... you're perfectly entitled to that. I feel the same way about Twilight ... I don't need to see them to know I'm not interested in that kind of vampire story (I like my vampires more like "30...

    DAK Cutbacks

    Posts like this confuse me ... if you haven't seen the movie (and never plan to) how can you say you don't see any connection with DAK? Avatar was a good movie set in a GREAT environment. It had a fully-realized and visually-fantastic ecosystem filled with mysterious lumious plants and...

    Best WDW restaurant for steak?

    We've never dined at any of these others, but we tried Citrico's on our Oct. '11 trip, and their wood-fired filet was *delicious* ... really, one of the best pieces of beef I've ever had and I mostly order steaks when I eat out.

    OMG!! LOVED LOVED LOVED TMTM and You Show !!!

    When we saw it 10/24, it was incredible! Way better than anyone had described it! :goodvibes The part where it looks like the bricks are flipping around and moving made the whole castle look like something out of the Matrix! Not to mention the tower "rocket blast-off scene" or that...

    Haunted Mansion Merch/a picture with the Ghosts?

    Typical Disney T-shirt prices; $21-$25 ... something in that range.
