    Workers want pay boost

    i don't know how anyone can survive on a grand a month. i was going through scenarios, in my head, to see if it's possible. i broke out the calculator and went through the expenses i have. house payment, car payment, insurance on the house, insurance on the car, property taxes, electric bill...

    Disney World Workers Among 22 Nabbed in Child-Sex Sting

    no, it is not a 1 to 1 ratio... however, 1 billion people sexually abused has to put the predators/abusers in the millions... if not 100 millions... that is still a lot... ford, the stats i gave you are for sexually abused people.. not abused by name calling...

    Disney World Workers Among 22 Nabbed in Child-Sex Sting

    ford91, predators/abusers are more prevalent than you may realize and/or believe. known statistics show that 1 out of 4 females are sexually abused and 1 out of 6 males are sexually abused. the total population of earth is over 7 billion people. taking the males statistic for the total...

    Disney World Workers Among 22 Nabbed in Child-Sex Sting

    ok, i have to apologize for the length of this post, but there is a lot that i feel compelled to say. to start with, the article is about a sex abuse/predator sting. it's about child sexual predators/abusers. some of the people caught in the sting were disney employees. now, i agree that it...

    also agree. i do have mixed emotions about this... on one hand it didn't happen on disney property, so disney really didn't need to be mentioned... however, the issue of sexual abuse isn't a small thing. it's a global epidemic. i know many will have a hard time understanding and/or believing...

    Disney World Workers Among 22 Nabbed in Child-Sex Sting

    parents need to be able to talk to their children and make it ok for the child to talk to the parents. Parents also need to believe their child when they are presented with info from the child that they were abused. also parents need to tell their children what's appropriate and what isn't...

    Disney World Workers Among 22 Nabbed in Child-Sex Sting

    sorry, but the #'s are worse than that... for females the #'s are 1 out of 4 that they will get sexually abused. for males the #'s are 1 out of 6 that they will get sexually abused. although i strongly believe that the #'s for males is closer to females due to society's views on males being...

    Are you known as 'the person who goes to Disney'?

    i've had a few people ask me to help plan their trip to wdw... none of them have gotten back to me yet on helping them. i did have, one time, a person call and text me to help them out with their trip while they were actually in the parks at the time... it was a last minute thing, they made no...

    Are you known as 'the person who goes to Disney'?

    I try to go as often as I can. Got some of those questions before, but I just tell people that it's not just for kids and that I'm also young at heart. thankfully, I have a boss that loves to go to wdw too. We can get our Disney fix, in between trips, by talking to each other about wdw and the...

    I need a ruling / opinion on something from everyone who can read....

    well, i've always believed that if you have kids, they will always be your kids/babies no matter how old they are. i'm 43 but i'll always be one of my folks' kids. they treat me as an adult, but still love to have things, hear things, see things that will bring them joy about their kids and...

    I need a ruling / opinion on something from everyone who can read....

    I guess it all depends on whether people consider a grandparent as family, and would enjoy a photo album/book of pictures taken from vacations they didn't get to go on, or not. some people wouldn't, some people would. We did and both my sister and grandma loved receiving them because it had...

    I need a ruling / opinion on something from everyone who can read....

    we created 2 photobooks, from shutterfly, as Christmas presents for my grandma and my sister with pictures taken from the Disney trip we recently took. the reason we did that is because they were not able to go, but wanted a memento of the trip to see the pictures of my sister's...

    we would've had my youngest grandniece on a leash while in wdw, but since there were 5 adults there, we felt we had enough supervision to keep a close eye on her. if it would've been just a couple of adults, she would've definitely been on a leash. she has no fear and has a high impulse to go...

    Talking Mickey

    saw several threads on the talking mickey, and was hoping to experience it on the last trip we took in september. i understood the threads, at the time, that talking mickey wasn't out all the time. we took the girls to go see mickey. he wasn't the talking one, but it didn't matter. the girls...

    Saratoga Springs

    stayed twice at ssr. loved it both times... we preferred staying in the grandstand area. has it's own quiet pool, close enough to the main area to walk to, catch a boat to dtd. plus, as far as i can remember, it is the first stop on the bus route.
