Hello, folks. We're taking our DDs to Disney World for a few days over Halloween weekend. They'll be 5 and 7 when we go. Can anyone recommend a good travel guide or other source of info. on the parks/area/etc.? I haven't been since probably the 1970's, so I'm totally clueless. I went to the...

What a wonderful thing you and your family has done for that sweet girl! The very best of luck with your new "baby." Have a great day! Deborah

Wow. You guys are great. Thanks for all of your great ideas. Now I have the opposite problem -- too many choices! At least I can't go wrong, whichever I choose. Just wanted say thanks for the help. Have a great night. Deborah p.s. Beavs -- Snoopy rocks.

Does anyone have any ideas for a baby gift? The woman is a neighbor, and though we are not close friends, we get our girls together on occasion, and I like her a lot. I'm thinking I'll just get her a gift card, as it's her 3rd girl (so I assume she has many of the basics already), and I don't...

Thanks for the kind words and input, everyone. I'm thinking (because of your suggestions) that perhaps I could call the owner (I don't know where he lives, but I still have the phone #), tell him how much my daughters loved him (which is true), and suggest that if his circumstances make it...

I am so disturbed. My husband and I found an old dog in hobbling in the street at 10:00 p.m. last night. She's a big skinny dog, clearly old (I found out later she's 13), and had much trouble walking. We took her home, because she'd surely be hit by a car, not to mention she could barely...

Reminds me of a funny story. When my husband and I lived in Hermosa Beach, CA -- where there are tons of people (and dogs) in just a few square miles -- a woman let her dog poop on the busy sidewalk right outside our house and left it there. My husband was steaming mad, so he picked it up in a...

from a gym? Has anyone done that and had a good/bad experience? My husband's gym is replacing all of their Precor treadmills and is selling them off for $300. On the one hand, that's pretty cheap, but on the other hand, we're talking about treadmills that have a LOT of miles on them. Any...

AC/DC in January. They rocked.

Jane Eyre. If I had memory-erase device, I would read it every month or so. Because I don't, I read it every couple of years. Love it, love it. Have a great night! Deborah

I just wanted to send my condolences, as well. I feel upset about Chico and I never even met him. Sounds like he was a great dog and a great friend. I think time will help you heal, and, until then, perhaps you can think about the fact that Chico is resting more comfortably now. Happy...

I had the exact -- I mean, exact -- same experience as Laura. I was always around 115 until 40. Now, I eat less (not perfect, but less), still exercise, and yet weigh 125. If I ate what I did when I was in my late 20's or early 30's now, I'd probably be at least 10 pounds heavier than that...

I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am about your friend. That is truly tragic. I'll be thinking of you, your friend, and her family. Hang in there, Deborah

I was planning on starting tomorrow, so I'll join in. I really need to clean up my act with eating starting tomorrow, too, or I won't be seeing results. I was doing well with that for a while, but, alas, I'm off course. Good luck to us! Have a great night, Deborah

Just wanted to send some hugs your way and tell you that I am so sorry. I understand being so upset - I am like you that way - but keep trying to remind yourself that you could never have know the nest was there. It was an accident that could have happened to any of us! You clearly have a...

Congrats. It sounds like you had a great ride. "Bristol" caught my eye, because I am from R.I. (my family is still there, and I wish I was, too), and I love Bristol. How I miss Colt State Park! Have a great bike season, Deborah

Tall skinny sugar-free vanilla latte. Who knows what that sugar-free vanilla flavoring is made of (something synthetic, of course), but I only have one every few months or so, so I'm not worrying about it! Have a great day, Deborah

Thanks, Kathryn. I really like your idea of looking into getting my next dragon from a more "ethical" or caring source. I definitely plan on looking into that possibility. I'm not certain, but I think Lizzy was not 100% right when I bought her, because (as I later learned) the store didn't...

Thanks so much, Liann. The book is in my Amazon shopping cart, and I plan on reading it cover-to-cover before I get another beardie. (I'm tempted to buy a copy for the pet store employees while I'm at it, so they won't give any more bad advice that may lead to another dead beardie.) Thanks...

Thank you all for your kind words. I am feeling better today, due in no small part to your responses. Liann, Lizzy was a bearded dragon. I feel like I'm better able to care for one after doing so much research after she got sick. (She had metabolic bone disease as well as other problems.)...
