    Something About Nothing............ #14

    Hi Everyone: I've been reading the posts and will try to catch up some. It seems life gets in the way of my good intentions, but here goes:) Robo: I know how you feel with fire ants. I never even knew there was such a thing until we moved to Tennessee, the home of all kinds of insects, LOL...

    Stupid names for a child

    Poor kid. I had the nickname of Pinky in HS and that was not a fun thing to deal with. Fortunately, it didn't hang on for the entire 4 years.

    Baltimore Key Bridge collapss

    My husband just watched the video. He said there were a lot of cars and trucks on the bridge at the time. He said you could see that the ship went dark before hitting the bridge. They are claiming that they lost power and couldn't do anything. It will take a while to sort it all out.

    Favorite non-thrill ride activities

    Congratulations on your trip to Universal:) I am not big on thrill rides too, so I know what you mean. I agree with a lot that Capslock said, except about Hagrids. I thought it would be a calmer ride than it was. It goes very, very fast at times with twists and turns. That was unexpected to...

    Princess Kate Middleton is being treated for cancer

    This is so sad. She seems to be a wonderful person and wonderful Mother. She also represents the Royal family very well. I hope and pray that she gets completely well and has a long life.

    Starting to get flight anxiety

    Hi Tink: Boy do I know what you are talking about. I will tell you what helped me completely get over my severe fear of flying. I was so bad that I was physically sick about 2 weeks before a trip. I had to take a dramamine (and sometimes a drink) just to get on the plane. Then I repeated...

    Does anyone else deal with this?

    We discovered our love of Disney when our kids grew up and we decided to go alone. That trip was an eye opener for us!!! We discovered a whole new disney that wasn't kid centric, not that there is anything wrong with it, We took our kids a few times and loved. But, going as an adult you can...

    Something About Nothing............ #14

    Hi Carole: Hope your trip is going good. I don't remember where in Scotland the film was shot, but it was Rick Steves who is a well known (in our country) and respected travel adviser and show personality. There was a lot of places where they were by the water/sea, so maybe that's it? One...

    Happy Monday morning, everyone:) Today it is really cold in the 20's with below zero wind chills. Brrr. Last week's 50's spoiled us, and then reality set in LOL. I have been cleaning my sewing room and washing clothes today. I wonder where all the dust comes from??? We also have those...

    POR river, swimming, ewwwww!!!

    We always stayed at POR and would never go into that water. It has alligators in it, which is enough to keep me out and away from the waters edge.

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    The "woods" area is fine. We booked it the last time and we were right by what seemed to be a jungle, LOL. It was kind of spooky to leave the room and walk along that path. It looked like untamed Florida to me. But we liked the area and were close to the West Depot. It seems like the West...

    How did you decide on your career?

    Yes, I eventually went to college when my kids were in school and got my nursing degree. I loved college at that age and got a lot of use out of my RN degree:) I was 29 when I started college.

    How long is to long in Orlando and the parks?

    Only 2 coasters have been mentioned for Universal, but I think there are more that qualify. The Mummy has been changed to be more like a roller coaster IMO. There is RRR which is a big scary coaster, and the Hulk which people seem to love. There are dueling dragons at Harry Potter land...

    How did you decide on your career?

    I found out later on that I could have gone to college virtually free. I was 7th in our class of 125, and didn't even know it!!! There was no college councelor at that time. It was up to you to talk with someone if you thought it would help get into college. I was really surprised at that...

    How did you decide on your career?

    I grew up in an era where girls did not go to college, unless you were from a rich family and went to "find a rich husband". LOL. I never went to college after HS and worked as a medical secretary for years before I decided I wanted to become a nurse. I also wanted to be a nurse because I...

    Thanks for the birthday wish for Roger:) He is pampering me, however, because I'm still walking like a little old lady! He went grocery shopping today, did some laundry, and made the beds. Wow, I never knew he could do that, LOL. We had family over yesterday all day to visit and have cake...
