I just got it when I was trying to answer the survey! And there are so many ads in general on the Dis now, I can’t stand it. After every couple of messages, there is an ad and there are so many at the top of the front page. I find myself coming here less and less.

Just asked my 3 kids. For once they actually agreed on something. Their top 3 trips ever were: 1) Costa Rica- zip lining, waterfall rappelling, hiking, hanging bridges, animal rescues, snorkeling, beaches. It truly has everything for an adventurous family. 2) Grand Canyon and Sedona-...

Thanks for all the suggestions. We often don't do gifts either but my sister told me my DH got me a "very thoughtful" gift this year so I felt like I should get him something. I've decided to make him a photo album and also we are going to spend Fri night in the city as I got a great deal on...

If you are truly interested, look for QPR training in your area. It is a course to try to recognize signs of depression and suicidal thoughts in your friends and family. It stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer. Similar to CPR and just as important for trying to save a life.

I'm usually a great gift giver for my family and especially for my DH but my 20th anniversary is fast approaching and I am coming up completely blank on gift ideas for my DH. Any ideas?? We have 3 kids, ages 11, 14, and 15. He spends the majority of his time working, coaching the kids...

We bought and sold 5 houses in 10 years. In each neighborhood we probably had 2-3 neighbors we were friendly with and we told them before we put the house on the market. As soon as we put up a "for sale" sign suddenly everyone in the neighborhood wanted to be our "friend". They'd walk by with...

Why not ask the kids since it is a present for one of them? Ask them via text or email so they can discuss it and get back to you.

I can go to Mexico with my family of 5 for much less than we would spend on a Disney vacation for a week for 4 (DH is not a big Disney fan, so he usually does not come with us). We've stayed at several different beautiful all-inclusives. DH gets some down time and the kids and I find plenty of...

My DD's graduation was on a Friday night and the school had a small reception afterwards. By the time we got out of there, we were all ready for bed...it's a long ceremony! We didn't get her a gift, nor did she expect one, but we do tend to go somewhat overboard for Christmas and birthdays. My...

I didn't mention the vacation because we are not paying for any of it. So it is not relevant to this discussion. My in-laws are only giving us this money for vacation. They are not offering us the money to pay bills. To them, that is not an option. So we either go on the vacation, or we...

My daughter tried to commit suicide. If I could sue her depression I would, but obviously that is not an option. This. We have good medical insurance but when the bills are in the hundreds of thousands and you have to pay a certain percentage of it, it adds up quickly. We have already paid...

OP HERE. Thank you so much for all of your suggestions. Here's what I have gotten done so far today. I signed up a for an Amex CC with 0% interest for 15 months and zero charge for balance transfers. I transferred $7000 in CC debt over to that card from my high interest SW card. Thinking...

Yes she did! I thought the girl who sang Whitney Houston was one of the best of the season and they didn’t let her through. Even my DH who barely watches, stopped and said how good she was. I think whenever they see “vocal coach” as a job description they are automatically so much tougher on...

I’ve done both lots of times but with kids those ages and the possibility of being without a car for a few days I would definitely stay on-site. Maybe cut back each trip by a day or two to save money that way instead. I don’t love the buses but my kids usually enjoyed riding them, they always...

From a report I read, the mother did not speak English which added to the confusion. I also think that was why they were interviewing the daughter and not her. And she had a baby on her lap so could not stand up during the turbulence.

Looking for suggestions on a summer vacation destination. We live in the Northeast and have plenty of SW miles to fly to most places or we are willing to drive up to around 12 hours. Family of 5 with kids ages 11, 14, and 15. Want to spend anywhere from 7-10 days. Would like a condo or a nice...

I agree. I like the Voice but I never get “attached” to their contestants like I do on AI. I usually watch the whole season & then couldn’t even tell you who won a couple days later. I think I remember almost all of the AI winners and a lot of their contestants. Most of the Voice winners &...

Brown as well

I liked the judges but I think they spent a little too long on each contestant. We only saw about 8 people in 2 hours. I like more contestants and a little less backstory on each one. That girl from KY with her little sister really annoyed me. She was cute but her singing was just not good.
