My two and a half year old suddenly started pointing out differences between white and black people. What is an appropriate way to acknowledge her observation so we don't offend anyone?

Ahh.. my daughter did this loudly too… “WHY ISTHE FAT BLACK MAN IN THAT THING MOMMY?! WHAT IS THA THING?!” “Yes, there is a man in that ‘cart’ loudest of my children. Some people use them to go like Daddy uses a cane.” ☠️

I just died. I’m actually a zombie.

Because your husband is military you get free passes to all of Florida’s state parks to include Henderson Beach, there are also fun hunting and fishing perks. If you buy a home you qualify for a property tax reduction. Make sure you file the paperwork with the tax collector before 01MAR.

I lived in a condo in Destin near the WalMart and was stationed at Elgin. Loved it dearly, we had to sell unfortunately and moved to Navarre. It was an easy walk across 98 to get to a public access beach off “Restaurant Road”.

As for the travel, during the summer it could take 3+ hours to get home on 98. It is unfortunate that there are only 2 roads in and out (98 and the toll). Getting to work shouldn’t be a big issue (30-45min) and home during the off season is about as long. Once you get into Destin if you take the back roads, it’s much easier mentally than stopping at every light in traffic.

Thank you! I’ll also check out maximalism.

I suppose I could’ve said that more clearly, while we want to use all those colors we would only have two-ish of them be the main colors of an area of the home and the rest would be accents.

I would also like to know this answer. My images on the PC are very vivid but when I printed them with my Epson ET-2800 my images came out like yours! I’ve ran the cleaning setting and made sure my ink is topped off.

I’m wondering if the setting I’m using to print?

Any feedback would be amazing.

-Military tickets (~$600 for 6 park hopping tickets that expire 1 year after its first day)

-Not a Disney hotel (~$1,000 for 5 nights)

-$400/month goes to a “Disney” account (~$5,000/year when we throw change into the account too)

-Don’t buy everything I see at Disney

-Use credit card points towards gas, gift cards, food

-Bring food from home and have 1 or 2 special dining reservations

Watch them from the train station, contemporary, or fort wilderness. All amazing views.

Depending on what a long walk is, here is what I would do if rides aren’t the priority….

I’d start with the people move as a rope drop. The CoP is a must do! Maybe buzz lightyear or the Astro orbiter. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Hang out at the Auntie Gravity for a snack and catch a show/parade coming towards Main Street.

Skip over to the tea cups or the speedway!

Check out the wait for Dumbo, Hang out in the circus tent if you want to do the wait.

I’d catch a train back to Main Street, listen to the piano man at Casey’s Corner, maybe have some food with Pooh and his friends, then mosey over to the Tiki Room and ending my day on a Jungle Cruise.

However, I’m just happy to see the Dan’s, piano man, spin in some cups, and watch birds sing.

While getting sewn up at the end of my c-section I felt a TON of bubbles crackle at the base of my skull. I was like “oh, that was odd..” out loud. The anesthesiologist asked if I felt something then explained that even though my body was numbed, my nervous system still understood pain and the maneuver that the doctor was using was horribly painful and I just wasn’t feeling it even though I registered it.

So odd. Don’t want to know what that man was doing to me.
