I don’t know why my FunPix account won’t allow me to download. Their customer service department doesn’t open til 9am.

T requested Diamondback first.. the very front seat. Hands up the whole time!! Then we did it again in the very back- and of course he requested that we dab for the photo.

We also did the 3 other 54” rides. I was SO FREAKED out on Firehawk. Couldn’t see him and kept thinking he would fall out. I basically screamed to him “Don’t fall out! Hold on! OH MY Gahhhhhhhhh!” the entire ride.. the 2 men in our row were cracking up at me and kept telling me to calm down. T was screaming “This is EPIC!!” “Oh YEA!”
I may have overreacted just a bit. BUT- I feel like I’m going to fall out. I know, it’s irrational. He’s tall enough, so it’s safe.

Sympathy like.
But, at this point, I've gotta' comment ( and yes, I realize this is several days old...but, stop kicking yourself already!!!!! :bored:
You're an awesome mom and your doing the best you can (and weather you like it or not, I think you go a bit overboard at times...you're stressing yourself out WAYYYYYYY too much.
You're probably stressing him and you're self out waaaaaayyyyy too much, as all he really wants to know is that his mother simply loves him more than anything...he knows it, he more than gets it, give yourself a break...with him.
You seem like an amazing mother, just don't feel like you hafta' conquer it all at one time... ;)
I run on stress, caffeine, and deadlines. I know it sounds crazy, and I know I put too much on my plate, but I’ve always been this way.. even before I had a child. It’s just worse the past 8 years since becoming a mom...or maybe worse since pregnancy.
You’re lucky I wasn’t on this site when I was debating cloth vs disposable diapers, and researching bottles and car seats. :hilarious:

Even before him though, I don’t think there was a time where I didn’t have at least one project or event that I was planning. It’s just my crazy self :joyfull:

Just booked my August WDW flights. $132 going down, $101 coming back. Coming back at 10 pm and not landing until after midnight, but who cares. May just work from home the next day. My dad when I told him the plan of coming back super late to save $20...


This is almost exactly what we're paying on Southwest for our flights but ours are nonstop and in the right time slots. If i didn't have a three year old, I'd definitely come back super late. Save twenty dollars and get almost a full day at the parks!!

Yep, this is totally an axial engine compresor blade failure issue. Seems something like inferior castings quality, or inferior materials, or just the need for replacement beyond normal recommended maintenance.
The NTSB and FAA will nail it down over time.

I remember reading stuff at a very young age about the first pressurized cabin de Havilland Comet airliner shortly after it entered service. There were 2 of them that came apart at attitude during perfect flight conditions, and one during bad weather, and all on board were lost.
They eventually determined it was the constant cabin compression and decompression stress on the airframe (something relatively new in the commercial airline industry at the time) and was especially evident in the square-cornered window openings of the Comet.
As a result, the entire fleet was grounded until they figured out the problem, and all subsequent Comets were redesigned with more oval-shaped windows.
Problem solved.
Unfortunately, lesson learned the hard way...but, many times, that is the only way we can progress... We don't know how things will go until we go places we've never been before...........

Inspections are going to be slowing up Southwest's flights for well over a month, according to what I heard on the news this morning.

Not really related, but the de Havilland reference made me recall a flight I had (as a passenger) ages ago in a much smaller, Twin Otter prop plane (up near Burlington, VT). One of the engines had to be shut down in flight, and the pilot flew it on one engine into the airport. Again, this was a long time ago, but I could have sworn I saw the logo of the distinctive RR (Rolls Royce) engines, from my window on this plane. Found an article about the aircraft, but couldn't find mention of the RR engines. It may be that maybe some went through a few different engines over a period of time--my guess only. (P.S.: the local regional airline, Air North, is no longer in service--bought out by Brockway, Piedmont and others.)
