The WES simply takes the documentation of your title and verifies that you completed that level of education, so you can actually inform others officially that you have a bachelors(in this case.. in Canada).
Very important for immigration and job seeking.

Heads up.. David's has big discounts on point rentals for DVC.

Yayyy have a great day!! Safe travels home!

Thank you! I’m at the airport now, boarding in about 30 minutes.

My last thrill at Disneyland was listening to these guys... I love the Disneyland band.

Did this ever happen to you or someone you know?.......

When I arrive home from being out anywhere, I take off my wedding band, pull out my wallet and keys....all three items go in a "special" cabinet in the kitchen.
Yet the last three days my wedding band won't come off right away. I have to wait 15 minutes or longer after being inside and then I can get it off. I haven't gained weight. My weight is stable.
Thoughts on that anyone?

Congrats @Cesar R M !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@SteveBrickNJ it sounds as if you're just retaining water.

Our interweb has been wonky all day I called and it's area wide, sometimes it's fine and then goes out or super slow

Yep. At Disney this last trip, it was hot so my DH couldn’t get his ring to come off. I was getting concerned because his fingers were swelling. When we would get back to the room for the night, he would use soapy water and take it off. Once he cooled off, it slid right off. The heat apparently makes it worse.

Is that something that is WEATHER(barometer) related or "I'm getting older" related?
Put it out of mind or mention it to a doctor?

Anyone can answer and I promise there will be no malpractice lawsuit if you're wrong.

@SteveBrickNJ it's most likely a diet thing. Have you been eating more salt, having an adult beverage or 2, it's most likely nothing but keep it in the back of your mind. If it's more than puffy fingers then call your doc and if ankles do it ASAP

Salt. Thank you. I will back off on potato chips and yesterday I had a good portion of French fries.

Dill pickle cashews are the best

 

[MinnieM123]

Thanks. We had fun with it. It's too bad we couldn't get just plain white mini-marshmallows for the sheep. But oh well. They taste good, and DS was thrilled with them, so that's the important thing.

Well, this may surprise you and your DD, but I really liked the pastel mini-marshmallows. I thought that was festive and intentional !!

We spent Easter visiting with our DD, SIL and grand doggie. He really liked his new toy.

I love the grand doggie! That's a nice new toy--no wonder he liked it. If I gave a toy like that to my dog, he'd tear it apart in less than half an hour. He never learned to play nice.

Old age syndrome: little more fat retained. Happens to the best of us. But, mostly likely it's nothing to fret about. If you're not hot, (and therefore you haven't swelled up from heat), then just use a little bit of hand cream and it will slide right off your finger. I have a ring that's tight, so I just wear it on my little finger now!

P.S.: Learned the hand cream trick from some colleagues who work in emergency medicine.
