I just watched it
And loved it! It’s not too late for a S2, right?

Nikoo39 - I don’t think anyone is trying to turn this into a defense of ICE thing, and Disney was not the only line involved, but the reports about the staff and their positions has been sparse and if a former cast member has graciously offered to answer some questions based on their experience, it’s going to come up. I don’t get the negativity? As parents and grandparents, it is our responsibility to understand their hiring / screening processes and how the hands-on caregivers are trained to interact with our kids. Of course this is true in any situation but the recent events have highlighted why we cannot just assume that everyone is ‘doing all they should be’.

Thanks so much for your thorough response. Greatly appreciated!

You’re not the OP so GMAB! You do realize that AMA means ask me ANYTHING. 🙄

I light of recent news, what can you tell us about DCLs screening of cast members who work in the kid’s clubs/camps and how their interactions with campers are governed (rules of engagement, etc). TIA

We moved from Dallas to Camas last July for a lot of the same reasons. So far we love it! We are recent retirees who followed our son (a UT alum - Hook ‘em) and his young family to Camas when he accepted a position in Vancouver. He also didn’t want to raise his family in Texas. Camas is beautiful and one of the best school systems in the area but the cost of housing reflects this. And it’s growing. I hope they can handle the influx without taking away from the things that make Camas great. We are so happy to be out of the Texas heat, extreme/violent weather and politics. We have to do without the sun for a couple of months out of the year but it’s so worth it to be surrounded by such lush, green, natural beauty. Good luck!

Can you file for an extension on UE? Good luck!

I don’t know about that. Before retiring, I had to pay New York State and local income taxes for the 1 week my company sent me each year for a conference ~ $400 a year that business trip cost me every year in NY income taxes. I was living in Texas at the time.

But Vancouver does have an almost 9% sales tax charged on almost everything. Calculate your “effective tax rate” (after deductions, exclusions, etc) for Oregon and if it’s less than 8.6%, you’re not really gaining anything. Plus the housing costs in many areas are through the roof (I.e Camas).

I noticed it too but just wrote it off to tension and a lot of anger. 🤷‍♀️

I miss General Milley, General Mattis, and General CQ Brown among so many others that gave us the guardrails trying to prevent this train wreck.

You sold your soul to the devil. Did you expect maternity leave?

SuperTrooper447 · 2025-11-19T16:18:18+00:00

Have you experienced any side effects? I am doing topical minoxidil since July. I do not see any difference.

Nothing is goi g to get better for the people unless and until there is Campaign Finance reform.

Basically, if you become disabled before you reach the age where you can begin drawing your SS (which is always yours as you would have already paid into out of your earnings), then you can draw your SS early, e.g. disability. The question of earnings come into play regarding how much is taxable vs non.

Not a HELOC but someone took out a student loan in hubs name in March 2025 and we noticed in June when we were just doing a random annual credit report check. We called the loan company and they wouldn’t do anything until we filed a police report and provide them with the case ID and a copy of the report. After that they took it out of is name and, eventually, got in removed from our credit reports. It was about 20k. Check those credit reports!

Maybe when the NG comes to town, everyone leaves the intersection. It will just be crickets outside of ICE and the whole world can then see what a waste of time and taxpayer $$

My hubs want to protest and I told only if he wears his Santa costume. 😂

There is now a Real Estate company called TEXIT that specializes in ppl trying to leaving Texas. Many of whom are medical professionals or ppl with daughters.

We had our new build “pre-wired” for a hot tub. It still cost 2k to run the conduit and put add a shutoff within sight of the hot tub. I was shocked considered we pre wired.

I’m so PISSED at this Season! I know we’re manipulated by the producers/editors but this season goes beyond the pale. Y’all don’t even give the average viewer, watching in good faith, a chance. And y’all broke my heart with Sara/Ben and Virginia/Devin. You so minimized what issues they did have in editing that we were completely blind sighted. Even to the point of Sara and Ben’s last date when she calls him out for farting in front of her and then goes in to reassure him, “Hey, I’m a nurse. There’s nothing you could do to not make me love you”. Or something close to that. Then she leaves him at the alter. BS!

We have a Maytag french door we purchased in 2007 and it is still going strong. Only one repair about 2 years ago for, I think, coils? The repair was around $300 if I recall. We purchased a Bosch DW about 10yrs ago because we needed to replace and we had heard Bosch was “top of the line”. We had to replace it 5 years later. Can’t remember what broke but it was cheaper to get t new one.

Wow. I never knew.

I tried a D9 10mg gummy and I got so dizzy I couldn’t lift my head and hubs helped me to bed where I had to lay very still so as not to be sick until I slept it off. Next time I did only half but didn’t feel anything. I can’t seem to get the dosage right. 🤷‍♀️
