I'm not sure. I think because it's an SUV, he thought it would be big. It's not. It's a box on wheels.

I think he also thought it would be safe. My Civic has a five star safety rating though, so...

the new car has lower ratting ?

This looks so fun!! Thanks for sharing the photos!

That's great! We took no courses/classes before they were born, and all 3 of our kiddos turned out fine...other than the issues 1lb. 4oz. DS (which, obviously, wasn't a "course" issue) had/has.
I still stand by my original post.

Everyone doesn’t need them, but it’s good that they are available for people like me.
If your parents live 1000miles away, and your inlaws live on a different continent, and you’re not around children at all- then classes can be beneficial for several reasons.
Safety changes, we learn things over time.. there’s always the internet and books, and trust me- I had a ton of books. However, classes on what to expect, a refresher on infant CPR, different parenting styles, being around other 1st time moms.. these were all of great assistance to me. I stayed home with my son for just over a year.. even with classes and reading I still wasn’t fully prepared, but I was a little better off than what I would have been without those resources.

I dunno what the Buick Envoy has. I test drove out, I hated it, and that is as far as we got in the research process.

And, oldest DD always knows how to get me all misty...




I used to sing "What a Wonderful World" to her all the time when she was little. She never forgot. She even chose that song for our father-daughter dance at her wedding.
Now, I will pass that on to granddaughter...even a bit misty as I'm typing this...

Yep, ultimately, whatever works...!!!

Question about keyless entry (since I don't have a car like that) -- let's say something goes wrong with the computer program inside the car for that. How do you get the car door open? Is there still a key slot (like the older cars), that you simply insert the key and open up the door?

My car has a keyless entry and start. There is a fob with all the buttons to lock and unlock all the doors. It also has a key hidden in it for emergencies or to give to a valet.

I haven’t watched any other channels since the World Cup started, not sure if the commercials are being shown on all of them. There’s some great ads.. but, this is by far the funniest/most bold. Even if you’re not a soccer fan, this will make you laugh.

Touché Volkswagen, touché.

That was very funny.

Awwww. That is just lovely and thoughtful. I for one cannot wait to virtually meet your new granddaughter.

Thank you!!!

You can imagine our excitement...!!!

Congrats all around and don't over do it gramps

There's this show i really love (don't judge me) about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and their team is a very elite cheerleading team. There are some women who make the team only after trying out 3-5 years in a row. They're good, but the team is elite, so being good isn't enough.

I mention this, because if T is really interested in playing for the elite teams, he might have to try out a few times for them and that doesn't mean he's not a good player. A lot of really good players will not make the team.

Either way, hugs!!! I hope they get back to the kids soon so you aren't sitting and wondering for long.



I started to go back and read, but then i realized you might not be on the last few pages yet.

Yep, I'm still miles behind, and it's miles back.
It wasn't you, and, ultimately, it really doesn't even matter anymore...!!!

Are they planting mangroves and other plants to prevent erosion?

No idea sir. Just on vacation here.

We were driving home from dinner and coming from the opposite direction was one of the original batmobiles! I was so surprised I couldn’t react fast enough to get a pix

 

[donaldtoo]

I like that show, too! A few years ago, I kinda stumbled on it, while channel surfing. Oddly enough, even though I don't like football, I found the cheerleading show to be fascinating. Never realized how competitive a cheer team like that is, and the high standards they need to achieve/maintain to stay on the squad. Gotta give them credit--they work very hard.

My DWifey watched that show for some time, too. But, she's also a Dallas Cowboy fan, through and through. And, the Texas Longhorns...she loves her some (American) football...!!!!!!!
I remember the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders from way back in the day being the quintessential cheer squad for NFL teams.

I hate winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our local strawberries are still a couple of weeks away

Sympathy like.
Hope they're hoppin' by now...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

See y'alllllllllll...!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun day today, went over to St. Petersburg Fl and went to Sunken Gardens and a county park to see gators. Only saw one gator and it was brief, he dove underwater before I could get a picture. The gardens were gorgeous and we finished the day with sunset on the balcony and ice cream at a place called the candy palace.
