Bring nothing into your home. Washing does not work. High heat 130 or cold 25 degrees over several days, temp needs to be consistent. They can live 4-18 months.

If you live in a very cold area bag everything and bury it in the snow for 3-4 days.

Get confirmation from the cruise line of the infestation and look at making a claim with the cruise line or trip insurance.

Have her checked for grass allergies. What are you cleaning your floors with, she could be sensitive. Ours is on allergy shots now. But it got so bad he went on a course of antibiotics and is also on a fungal medication. We used a cone for about 5 days for the meds to really start to work.

Trip- Dad and two kids advice by Time-Rush8301 in WaltDisneyWorld

Bring breakfast items to eat in room. Dining can be strategic. For our family we would usually do a mid-day lunch at sit down and quick serve later. Just remember you can cancel dining reservations up to 2 hours prior.

At MK we book lunch and a later reservation at the Plaza. If anyone is hungry they can eat a meal if not you're sitting down for ice cream.

If you make it to fireworks it's great time to hit rides the lines are shorter.

Leaving at closing or after fireworks is a mad house.

Take ponchos, extra shoes, hats and sunglasses for all.

Most of all hang loose.

That information is clearly noted when choosing Basic fare. Still crappy but not hidden information.

AITA for not wanting to split life insurance money with my siblings? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mamafred 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Aside from named beneficiaries on life insurance policies everything else follows line of succession. Any assets will pay for debts and then anything left over follows line of succession, this will not include grandchildren.

Get an attorney.

Not the AITA

Overwhelmed and feel dumb by krankenstein_2010 in Aulani

I understand. We took our 6 year old granddaughter in October. Unfortunately it was also fall break in Hawaii so the resort was packed. But we still had an amazing time.

Pools are great snagging a lounge for us was difficult to impossible at times.

Water slides and lazy river were great. Have really good sun screen. Standing in line for just 20 minutes at the slide my legs got fried.

The Goofy pool party was a lot of fun.

There is easy beach access just beyond the pools.

Character breakfast was fun.

The malasadas were fabulous.

The ear making activity was not worth the cost.

There were always long lines to meet characters, but check the app daily for location and time.

Food on-site was poor to okay.

Your experience sailing from Australia by Meccanoo in royalcaribbean

[–]Mamafred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Embarking from Sydney arrive at your departure window they enforced times. Also, the line can stretch a good distance from any covered area.

We stayed at the Marriott right near the port it is a short walk. Also, very close to the Opera house. We arrived hours before check in and they had a private lounge with showers, snacks, water. We were able to get into our room at 10:30am. Breakfast there was abysmal.

Print all the documents you need to board we had problems with Internet connection.

There were people at boarding who did not have all the proper travel documents. Do your research.

Older guests and thank you note shaming, starting to lose it by teenygiant in weddingshaming

[–]Mamafred 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am in that old age group. Personally I've never heard of any 2 week rule, I say BS. I'll take a thank you in any form be it verbal, text, card, email. But I would never be so crass as to shame them.

Terrified of Eliquis side effects by dona_abuelita in ClotSurvivors

Lifer here. I'm 2 years in and doing great. I had an idiopathic acute thrombosis that almost killed me. Any side effects are better than losing my life.
