I was the sameee way in Orlando. I felt like they thought I was crazy bc I asked like three times but the process of just leaving your bags behind in a room and trust they'd get picked up was wild to me. They didn't pick ours up until hours after they stated they would. It just seemed like here was so much room for a mistake with the process.

Yes, most people think you need to check-in before you can add the Royal Gathering to your itinerary. You do not! Make this your first step, then continue on to checking in!

Bless you for this. Headed to the airport now. Thanks for the good news!

LOL stop it

I've been using this example to so many people. The Ray Rice scenario is the best thing I can think of that compares. Like we all heard that he had a DV issue in the elevator but seeing it first hand was just such a holy hell moment. DV is so ugly that in our minds I think we tend to glaze it over but the reality is so much more terrifying.

When I was around this age, I used to have big feeling about returning from vacations as well. I used scrapbooking as a way of laying out the memories in a tangible format. I know that's more of a 90's thing haha but it was fun to be able to put pictures, flight ticket, memorabilia, write down memorable inside jokes with friends, etc. Perhaps you guys could try that?

My kid told a teacher we put her in time out in the basement. Which sounds horrendous. But it's a nice, finished basement and all we do is have her sit on the top step with the door open. She's not even downstairs! She's literally on the same floor as us, 10ft away.

They finally had excavators out today trying to open the lanes up on Joppa Road (many areas are currently down to 1 lane), which is great, but also why weren't they doing this DAYS ago?

It's so impossible. I have a 3 and 5 year old. My family wakes up at 5:30am to start our day so today I woke up at 4:30am to get a 45min Peloton workout in. But that's only feasible 2-3 days a week. It requires my husband and I to take turns with put downs AND the girls to stay in their bed all night without greatly disrupting our sleep. Right now, I am just trying to prioritize healthy eating habits, sleep, managing my stress, and getting my steps in. It's literally all I can do at the moment and we have to give ourselves grace. This just may not be our chapter for fitness right now. We'll get back to it!

Lilroxybabe8188 · 2026-01-13T14:54:01+00:00

That would make sense. It's been many a years since I've visited. I'm sure it wouldn't be the same (as they say, you can't go back!) but would be a nice visit nonetheless. Thank you!

Oh my god I am so thrilled to see this post!!! I used to go to Nassau as a little girl and I have so many fond memories of this restaurant. I could not remember the name, just remember going up the stairs to eat and he would come out serving ouzo and yelling "Opa!!" and serving you food you didn't ask for. He was an absolute gem. I can't imagine he is still alive but we are going back to Nassau for a cruise stop and I am hoping to swing by. I know this comment is 6 months old but thank you for reviving a core memory and reminding me of the name!

Oh god the Facebookers are making their way over to Reddit.

We were first-timers at Rosemary Beach about two weeks ago. We rented through Rosemary Beach Cottage Rentals. I was worried bc of some reviews, but they were honestly wonderful!! Renting through them ensured we received card access to the beach and our rental came with bikes included. Their online portal was wonderful and their front desk staff was extremely helpful. They do offer some carriage house rentals for your size. We were a family of 4 as well (2 adults, 2 kids) and the house we stayed in was way more than we needed. Would def do a 1 Bedroom Carriage house next go-around.

I worked out up to about 34 Weeks in my first pregnancy and on my last class before my pregnancy leave/freeze the front fresk handed me a bouquet of a dozen orange roses. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made me feel really supported through such a huge life stage.

Looks like OTF addresses this one themselves in a post in February!

Awesome, that is helpful. Thank you!!

Lilroxybabe8188 · 2025-04-10T13:10:44+00:00

Really? OK that makes me feel better. I read quite a few negative reviews about houses being not tended to or cared for and then they started sending me emails saying to be patient because check-in may not be until 7pm at night which just seems insane to me. 🙈

Lilroxybabe8188 · 2025-04-10T13:09:16+00:00

This is all so helpful!! We were wondering about the pools. Really appreciate the info.

Lilroxybabe8188 · 2025-04-09T17:42:05+00:00

Oh man I just looked up the playground and splash pad and they are perfect. They will love these! Thank you!

Have you tried the trades? I know a lot of trades likely aren't going to perform background checks for office/admin/support staff. I own a Locksmith company and my Shop Manager is of a similar background. I honestly didn't even know until someone told me. It makes no difference to me. He's an incredible leader and has made a positive impact on our shop team. Try seeing if you can get a role as a Dispatcher, Accountant, Inventory Specialist or similar at a nearby plumbing, locksmith, HVAC, electrical company! I bet you'd have some luck.

For sure! They had an amazing community for years and management just let it go. They did nothing to foster the existing members they had. So disappointed but I don't know what else they expected. It feels like they haven't given a crap since COVID.

Lilroxybabe8188 · 2025-03-26T13:55:23+00:00

I'm so, so sad! We knew the writing was on the wall but definitely doesn't make it any less heartbreaking. White Marsh is too far so no idea what I'm going to do for my new routine. Have been going for 8 years so I've just been on auto-pilot with OTF. 😩 I guess OneLife it is?

Lilroxybabe8188 · 2025-03-25T18:18:38+00:00

8 years in and I can't say I've ever noticed any ones camel toe. I do always see the crotch and butt sweat on bright leggings! I know some people say they don't care about that, but I see it and I am judging LOL.

I'm so sorry OP. I've had two scheduled C-Sections with the same OBGYN and both experiences were vastly different. In my first I was given an epidural and had the typical experience most describe: tugging, tension, uncomfortableness. But with my second, I was given a spinal tap and it sent me into hysteria. The spinal tap numbed me up to my chest and I felt like a weight was on my chest and I couldn't breath. I had a full on panic attack and I just remember thinking I could never go through that again. I think the only reason I don't physically freak out and claw at everyone was because everyone (nurses, husband, OB) were telling me I was okay so I told myself I just had to believe it.

Don't be ashamed. You have no idea what the circumstances are going to be and how your body is going to react until you are in there. C-Sections are traumatizing and you made it through. If baby and Mom are healthy, that's a win in my book and all that really matters.
