A better way to say it is, she enhances you. You are already complete.

Awwwwww, thanks

I can't stand Scott Bakula. Not sure why, but I find Enterprise unwatchable because of it. I don't watch NCIS New Orleans for the same reason, in spite of watching Los Angeles (used to watch NCIS, gave it up after they botched Tony and Ziva and brought in the awful new girl).

The tony and Ziva debacle also made me leave the show.
I loved Bacula since Quantum Leap. But I do not watch NCIS New Orleans.

FWIW, when we brought A for her first time she was two months shy of 3 years old and it shaped her whole existence. The magic was super real for her, and although she won't likely remember the trip when she's 30, she had many memories from it and still talks about things we did on that trip. I know people say they want to wait until their kids will remember it, but young children definitely form memories that they carry with them over the next couple of years.

Yes, but, she's not gonna' remember diddly at age 1.
That's why, after pricing it all out , we decided to wait until she's just shy of 3, as well, hopefully in late Sept.-early Oct. of 2021.
As you related, she'll be old enough to get all excited, have Magical memories after that trip for a good while, and be able to vocalize those memories...plus, she'll still be able to get in for free...!!!!!

I don't have any. I may have to borrow from @donaldtoo .

Hahaaa...!!!!!
I'd share if I had extra pairs, but, I only have the one ol' trusty pair...
Remember, as I posted before, I only have a pair of dress shoes, a pair of sneakers, and the one pair of flip flops.....unlike this client...!!!!!

The difference between hotel and points last time I went to WDW was like. 20%-30% less.
And in some cases you can get also the food plans. So you can "save" even more.
Unsure if they will keep raising the point prices as well thou..

Thanks for that info, Cesar!!!
That's a decent difference, and we will definitely look into renting DVC points before our next trip!!!
Everything will be even more expensive in 2021, so we'll be looking for ways to save any way we can...!!!

I’ve been super stressed about about a bunch of stuff… New Med rules preventing DH from getting his meds, Jury Duty for right when I go to New Orleans next month, and a disability review for Scott.

2 out of 3 are resolved. Pharmacy was able to get insurance companies approval, assuring them that Scott has been on these opioids for years, and he’s not niave. Wrote a letter including my flight and hotel information, and Jury Duty deferred until April. Just the disability review left, and we probably won’t hear anything on that for month… it’s hard to lose disability once you have it. So fingers crossed.

 

[donaldtoo]

I gave up on the bubble long ago I'd rather have a longer trip or more fun

Would definitely love longer trips, but, as I've posted before, week-long trips are all we have been able to swing due to the way all our schedules have always ran. Don't see that changing anytime soon, unfortunately.
Same reason we always fly...it's about a 22 hr. drive from were we live, so for a week-long trip, at best, all we'd get to spend at Wally World would be about a day, if we drove...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, gotta’ fly...!
Have a Magical rest of y’all’s day...!!!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!!!!!

The rules with opioids have changed in the last year. Doctors can no longer call them in either. Fingers crossed for you that everything works out.

i know my experience is only anecdotal, but it really is the perfect age to take them. Not only can they vocalize their memories for months and months and months, they can vocalize what they need while you're there as well. You're just at the mercy of your intuition when they're one.

DH's doctor somehow is on a "preferred" list that can still put them in the system rather than make us pick up a paper script. (thank goodness) But we had to switch DH's prescription insurance this year from my work insurance to a medicare part D plan thru Blue Cross, Blue Shield... all is fine, except for new opioid scripts can only be filled for a 7 days supply. Well hubby has been on patches for over 5 years... so we ended up jumping thru a bunch of hoops.. some pre-auth, and then the pharmacy had to call and confirm that he is not new to the drug and is not "opioid niave" is what the pharmacist said. What a mess... they didn't think about people who could potentially go thru withdrawals when they wrote these new rules. I totally understand why they need them... but man, it was enough stress to give me a heart attack.

Glad it is all straightened out for you.

Started out at 27 this morning in our hood, but, remaining sunny and ‘posed to get up to 62...!!!

Car packed check

He's number 3. The list is:
1. Stewart
2. Mulgrew
3. Pine
4. Shatner
5. Brooks
6. Bacula

And if you want to include Discovery's captains, they're on the bottom two. Except we don't know Captain Pike real well yet.

This week it's Mulgrew. She took down the Borg and violated the temporal prime directive all in one episode. Ask me next week and it may be Sir Patrick Stewart.

This year we had 2 whole days when we could do something together. They were spent doing snow removal

Just wait until she's close to 5 and starts helping with trip planning James had a wonderful combo of memories, planning videos and being able to read enough words in Birnbaums to be a big help
