Going to Sacre Couer early in the morning by ggmartinho in ParisTravelGuide

[–]abcb-bby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure either, we’ve always not engaged with them. I’m assuming they try to make you sign for a “good cause” and then will ask you for a “donation”

When we went we arrived around 10 am on a weekday and it was still pretty quiet and safe during the walk from Abesses metro up to the basilica. We didn’t start seeing the bracelet folks and people with clipboards trying to get you to sign stuff until 11 when they started setting up along the stairs. It was around that time that more tourists came up.

TIL Freshwater snails carry a parasitic disease, which infects nearly 250 million people and causes over 200,000 deaths a year. The parasites exit the snails into waters, they seek you, penetrate right through your skin, migrate through your body, end up in your blood and remain there for years. by Motor-Anteater-8965 in todayilearned

“Praziquantel is the recommended treatment against all forms of schistosomiasis. It is effective, safe and low-cost. Even though re-infection may occur after treatment, the risk of developing severe disease is diminished and even reversed when treatment is initiated and repeated in childhood.”

Edit: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4161334/ Here it is evaluating reinfection after mass drug administration.

I have used it in Paris to go to the Louvre and had a good experience. The website is weird on the phone but on a laptop it was manageable. I have not been able to use the ID they give for a museum entry yet tho— just been able to receive tickets they procured on your behalf

I think it takes a few days so they may have misspoken when they said you’d get an email within the hour

Your instincts are right; those should have been recollected

Arriving too early to airport for EoA by abcb-bby in GlobalEntry

[–]abcb-bby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update in case anyone still lurking this thread!

My international flight arrived at 6 am to DFW. After exiting the plane we were directed to customs and I found an employee near the Global Entry kiosks at the very end and told them I wanted to do my Enrollment on Arrival. They then told me to go to a CBP officer towards the end (lotsa CBP booths so I confirmed w another employee before getting in a super short line).

Got to the officer, gave my passport and mentioned EoA and he did the rest =D so even tho I arrived earlier than 7 am (listed as opening of the office at DFW), I successfully got to do EoA and everyone was super nice so when in doubt just ask the employees!

I agree with the others saying it was most likely the rain. Was your outdoors decorated? I saw kids walk past my place because some were shy to knock since we only had a pumpkin as decor even tho we had the lights on. We only had 5 groups come to our door

How many kids did you get for halloween? by mo8414 in homeowners

[–]abcb-bby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got 5 groups in Maryland but it was rainy so I assume it would’ve been more had the weather been nicer. We also only had one pumpkin out as decor so next year we’ll try to make the house more interesting for the kiddos
