I tried food combining for awhile. I don’t eat meat so had no issue about how to combine it. The problem is so many different food combining gurus have different opinions on what can and can’t be combined. I just gave up on doing it.

Yea, funny how confusing it can all get sometimes. That’s why when I lost all that weight (65 lbs. in 8 mos.), and had those awesome blood work numbers, back in my mid 30’s I just did it the old fashioned way...consume less, move more...!!!!! :D;):)

So dh is on a lunch break and driving around and saw this car. The license plate made him laugh because of the BM. BM for us stands for bowel movement, so his plate says “sonic bowel movement”. :hilarious: We assume it is supposed to mean “sonic boom” though. That isn’t as funny.

Yep, since it’s a Mustang Mach 1 (meaning reaching the speed of sound and the boom), I would have taken it that way, but, y’all’s version is definitely more humorous...!!!!! :hilarious:
There’s just not enough room on license plates these days...!!!!!!! :joyfull:;)

Hey everyone, hope you don't mind joining in! I'm Anna!
I've already profited from joining this site, because I just read about you guys getting your licenses to take on trips....
and it made me check my documents, and I realzed BOTH my ID and passport expired in March. YIKES!!!
I cannot believe I FORGOT to check on this sooner. I just got myself an appointment at city hall to get them renewed. A few weeks later and I would have been cutting it close to get them done ion time before my WDW trip in September!
So: THANK YOU!!! 🥰

Howdy, and welcome to the party...!!! :)

I feel you!
Now that it's only a few months away, I have no idea how I waited over ten years.
Hope you don't have to wait too long!

Woof!
10 years is quite a while!
Although, the last time we took a Disney trip was for the Princess 5K in Feb. of ‘16.
This is the longest interval we’ve had since our first family trip in 2001.
I know others go multiple times a year, but, we have been cruising instead (not DCL - insane money...!!!!! :greedy::greedy::greedy::greedy::greedy::greedy::greedy:).
Hope ya’ have the most awesome of trips...!!!!! :)

When kids would run up to Walter I’d move him by his lead behind me. I’d told them then need to have their parent tell me it was OK.
Then I’d have a moment to tell him to lay down. I’d always ask them to only pet his back so he didn’t get accidentally poke in eye, nose mouth or ear.

Me I always ask. What bothers me more is people with expanding thread leads that let their dogs run up to dogs they aren’t familiar with. No direct control until the get reeled back in. My dogs have always been on a leather leash with only a few feet of room to wander. I always had 100% control and all my dogs went about 100#.

Courtesy goes a long way always.
There is another mom at DS's school and she brings her puppy. He's not even a year old, and he jumps and barks and A won't go near him. But we were sitting last week waiting for the kids to come out, and another of the moms was sitting with us and her other son was with her. He was running around playing, and he saw the woman scold the puppy because he kept straining at the leash and barking. She had pulled him in and told him to sit , etc. He went over behind her...I figured she couldn't see him, or didn't, but he started calling to the puppy, who had just been told to sit, and then when the dog tried to run to him, she swatted him lightly, and said no, and made him sit again. I thought it was rather unfair, because the kid was calling to him. Anyway, he kept this up, and his mom told him a couple of times to leave him alone, but he was enjoying the fact that the dog was on a very short leash and couldn't get to him. After about 10 minutes of him taunting the dog and the dog being held tightly on the leash, the dog's owner finally just let the dog off the leash. He goes running (he just wanted to play...he wasn't going to hurt him) at the kid and the kid looked so shocked. Then he ran and the dog is running after him, and the kid is laughing, and then he ducked into the soccer pen that has a gate that closes, so the dog couldn't get to him. I heard the dog owner say "Well, if he's going to keep taunting him, he needs to learn." She knew he wouldn't hurt the kid, but it sure shocked him. I personally wouldn't have let the dog go, but I would have asked the kid to stop, and I would have explained that it's cruel to do that to the dog. And as the mom of the kid, I would have had him sitting somewhere in a corner where he couldn't look at the dog to taunt him. But that's just me.

It is frustrating as a Pup owner to have adults with children mess with Pups.

Pups are not any different than any other situation when parents don’t have. Control over their kids. But usually when something goes wrong with Pups vs kids it is more often than not the Pups fault by default no matter what the humans do.

Exactly, and I really felt like the kid's mom should have made him stop. Or that the dog owner should have explained to him why it was mean to do what he was doing. The kid is like 8, so he was just playing, but didn't realize his playing was cruel. But if the dog had actually done something to him, it would have been the dog who got in trouble, not the kid. That's just wrong.

Sounds like you had a great trip and some awesome food. I want to hit Compass my next trip, maybe twice 'cause I want to also try their breakfast. Where did you stay?

And what are standing Moroccan lights?


AK Kidani. A little out there in terms of getting to everywhere but animals are better than people so... I might have had more pictures of the animals than people :oops: MK was 20 - 30 mins away depending on the driver....seemed a lot faster at night though.

I call them the standing lights. I don't really know what the real name is.

I just panicked a few minutes ago for my upcoming trip to MN. Usually I just take my drivers license, and I'm all set.. but because I recently got approved for TSA Pre-Check, they have my whole name (full middle) on my file. I had to change all my tickets to my full name and not just my middle initial so my Pre-check will work...but I realized just a minute ago, at some point the DMV put just my middle initial on my drivers license and it doesn't match of course. So now I made an appointment to fix my license. Not a huge deal as I can just use my passport. I just didn't really want to lug it around! And now I need to bring all my docs to the DMV to get them to change my license... grumble grumble.

Sympathies. This stuff is just really getting out of hand. (Protecting ourselves from ourselves . . . :oops: )
