Ok...don't laugh...here is a picture of me, my brother and sister at Disneyland's, "it's a small world" Sept. 1970. I was nine years old!
Looks just like pics of me around the same time! I grew up in LA, and I was 7 in 1970...
Great news! Let us know if they ever find out exactly what caused it...
RF- good luck, honey.Mark and I were talking this morning about our money situation when we first got married. We got pregnant 5 months after we got married and it was rough, to say the least. There were many many times after the baby was born that we had no money after paying bills and buying diapers (I got free formula-- my Mom worked for Pediatricians and their drug reps shipped cases and cases of it to me- I had to have one whole room just for all the formula I got- I was so blessed)- anyway- there were so many times that all of our groceries were bought on the credit card b/c we had nothing. When you first get married, it's tough at times, but when you look back on those years, you will look back fondly and remember the good times. Hang in there.
Great "mom" advice and encouragement
I remember when my oldest son was born, not having enough money to wash clothes. The girl downstairs with her own baby was broke too. So we threw all the dirty baby clothes and sheets into a bathtub of hot water, dumped in a free sample box of Ivory Snow from the hospital, and took turns stomping on them (just like Lucy and Ethel stomping on grapes, remember that?) until they were clean, then stomped on them in 3 tubs full of hot water to make sure all the soap was out. Let me tell you, we had the cleanest feet in town! 
Any tips for me? I'd love to smoke DH had have him wonder how the heck I did it!
I am actually thinking about September. It will be ho-o-o-otbut since DH won't give up the DxDP - maybe we can hope for free dining and we can just upgrade to deluxe and save a bit off the usual price.
Value season starts in September. We stayed at the Pop last time, and it wasn't fancy, but it was totally fun. If they do free dining again, September is the time to go. As for the DxDP, depending on what it costs next year, and what you actually get...you might really want to run the numbers. DH and I love to eat, but we can't eat three TS meals a day...even have a hard time managing 2 on some days (like a character breakfast, then a later dinner, only snacking midday). Also, we might split an appetizer if we are really hungry, but really can't eat two full appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Look at all of the restaurants you'd like to try -- if you have 2-3 signatures on your list, you could always plan to pay OOP for some or all of them, or pay OOP for your cheapest TS meals (like breakfasts) to save your credits. But there are a ton of fun 1 credit restaurants, and some really great CS too. Getting the standard DDP, especially for free, might save you a LOT.
More excellent "mom" advice
5. My DH would say his favorite newlywed activity is free.
Still free after 10 years, and still a great way to pass the time
Jo, good luck on the move!!! Hi to everyone else, off to work I go!
I just did my daily airfare check and AirTran lowered the flights from $109 to $95! I don't know what to do now. I was waiting for SW to release their rates (and hoping for a better experience with them) next month because AT's earliest non-stop flight down is at 12:50pm. We want to leave early in the morning this time since we cut the trip back a day. . . Do you think I'll get better than $95??? (we usually only pay $69-$79)
