    Spirit Airlines baggage fees

    Actually, I have found that once you add up the baggage fees and the ridiculously expensive parking it is usually cheaper to fly out of Philly. There are 6 of us. We can pack 4 bags. That's $240 in bags alone, and I think it's like $15 a day to park. For us that's more than $400 extra...

    Spirit Airlines baggage fees

    We stopped flying with them, too. After all their various fees, it is usually cheaper, or at least the same, to fly Southwest. BTW on their checked luggage the maximum weight is 40lbs, not 50 like most airlines.

    Tell me how you would feel....

    OPP, excuse the fact that I have not read all the responses, because some of it is bickering. 1st for everyone: People with dementia do not do well outside of their familiar environment. It increases their anxiety and increases their symptoms. I don't know where the OPs father is on the...

    Is it just me??

    Okay, I am a hair, make-up, nails kind of girl. I won't leave the house if my hair and make-up isn't doe, and I think that picture is very disturbing.

    Is it just me??

    Okay, I can only go on my 4 year old's dance class. There is none of this. They wear black leotard and pink tights. There is no competition and the only time they wear make-up is at the recital. It isn't competitive. Again, she is 4 and it's a beginner's ballet class. I probably...

    Is it just me??

    Since the OP trolled and poofed, I will digress a bit. This is interesting. My daughter is 15. When she was 9-10ish we had a family friend whose daughter was the same age and very into cheer. She had encouraged my daughter to try it. When we checked it out I was appalled. Tiny, skimpy...

    What would turn you off in a house for sale ?

    A few things, It isn't unusual for older homes to have an amazing lack of closet space. The house I grew up in was older (circa 1900) and my bedroom didn't have a closet, and my brother's had 1 that was added. However, given that all the bedrooms, save 1, in the OPs house have closets, I...

    Is it just me??

    I smell a troll, but .... The problem is you are sexualizing your young child and teaching her superficial values. You are painting a small child up to look like a 30 year old prostitute and telling her that it is okay to judge people based on appearance. Appearance that they don't even have...

    Humiliated at the Reno Airport

    I would have left my 11 year old sitting on a bench with the luggage and the other kids. I can't imagine schlepping 4 kids and at least 4 suitcases into a public restroom to change a diaper, and I would have changed it right then before it got all over everything. ...but, my issue is the...

    What would turn you off in a house for sale ?

    Unfortunately, there is a difference here. Keeping the time period integrity of the house in as far as style and decorating is one thing, but not upgrading things like kitchens and bathrooms is another. When I look at your pictures I really don't see anything that screams historical to me. If...

    What would turn you off in a house for sale ?

    I can't either. If the master is in the basement, that's a total deal breaker. Honestly OP, the house would either have to be a steal, as in wayyyy under market price, or you would have to do a lot of work. Total remodels of bathrooms and kitchens are very expensive. It's an older house that...

    TOP CHEF Season 10!

    I'm sorry to see Sheldon go. I really wanted him to win. He was so down-to-earth, and his cooking was creative. So I have to ask, what the heck was he thinking? Why would he stray so far from the formula that was so successful for him? That entree didn't represent him at all. I like both...

    What fashion fad do you wish you could forget?

    Yes, I do, too. I remember them riding up and being super uncomfortable. Which reminded me of these: http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/5929020/il_fullxfull.330449405.jpg I am ridiculously tall and can't wear a 1 piece. This was like an atomic wedgie.

    Humiliated at the Reno Airport

    "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die." Seriously, OP, you way over-reacted. The ticket agent acted like a fool, and you fed her fire by having a total breakdown. I've never been in the Reno airport, but if they were truly very near the restroom, then they could have just said, my...

    DD wants a purity ring

    You are the one that posted the "unblossomed rose" link. I'm sorry, I am a little, no really a lot, grossed out by the thought of buying my daughter a virginity ring called "the unblossomed rose." It is truly disgusting imagery.

    I'm not sure how to feel about this? Help?

    He sounds like a good guy. He treats you well, he makes your mom happy. I understand your fears about getting attached, and about moving away from your grandparents. ...but I want you to put yourself in her shoes. You are 17, in a few years you will be gone and out of the house, living...

    DD wants a purity ring

    Seriously? You aren't the least bit squicked out by the thought of your child wearing a ring called "the unblossomed rose" as a symbol of her virginity. Personally, I am totally creeped out about it. ...nd, yes, it is an agenda. It is a measure to force young girls' hands, through peer...

    airplane boarding queue's

    If I'm flying an airline with seat assignments I never board early with the kids. It's just another period of time where small kids have to sit cooped up and get antsy. I also don't carry on anything larger than a back pack that will fit under the seat. With so many people trying to sneak on...

    DD wants a purity ring

    ...but if you never wore the ring, and didn't, like a normal person, go around talking about your sex life, how would they know you even had sex? If you make a public pledge, then put on a ring saying you won't have sex then one day show up without the ring, I'm sure everyone will assume...

    Whitewater rafting in Colorado

    Because kids can't fall off their bike in a subdivision? Interesting. I have, mine have, but your subdivision must have some divine protection. Hopefully you never have to see any severely brain injured kids, or see any die. The truth of the matter is that most accidents occur close to home...
