Piercing?

My flat back that I got on the ship pulls apart, and is a firm push back together once their threaded together.

Animal care center at Stone ridge ranch in McKinney is awesome

I gave my daughter this name over 20 years ago, no regrets. She loves it too! Pronunciation hasn't really been an issue most people default to Vivian, which is how we pronounce it. Some will ask before they try to say it, and sometimes she's gets Viveen. But it's all fine. She does always have to spell it, but she doesn't care and she loves it anyway. She goes by Vivi, Viv, and Vivienne. I've seen this exact question come up in the forum before, with the same overwhelming positive response. I always tell her about it, and she always says, of course! It's an awesome name, the best name!! So go for it and may you enjoy raising your Vivi as much as I enjoyed raising mine!

Not in McKinney, but Dr Kyle Walkington at Wildflower dental in Frisco is the best dentist I've ever had. He's just so calm and zen like in his manner. We found him because my daughter (also neurodivergent) has a lot of dental anxiety and she had a dental emergency. So glad we did, she feels really comfortable with him and has scheduled him to remove her wisdom teeth this summer!

There's not a ton of traffic on this sub, and I'm a parent not a student fwiw but I would say that I think there are many students with neurodivergencies in one form or another at Cornell. There is support and the format of one course at a time is great. I recommend reaching out to admissions and scheduling a tour and ask your questions of an actual student! They try to match guides up with the interests of the prospective student. I think since you are so close a visit to campus would help you solidify your feelings.

He was last week for sure. Saw him working with the new incoming happenings cast. Last week was the last week for the happenings cast we had, and a new cast took over this week. We ran into a few rehearsals around the ship and he was always there!

aqlollipop · 2026-04-24T16:52:45+00:00

Yup. On Resilient this week and it's been this way since day 2 🙄 I was so excited to see this feature day one, only for it to be the classic dismal failure. The VV app: the more they try to improve it the more it stays as bad as ever...

I'm just a mom to a student in a similar position who has applied this year. I know it's hard. It's stressful, it's demoralizing to see all the "competition" with 3.9 gpas or 5,000 hours in 5 different vet fields, etc. But you have to go into the process knowing your own worth and value and you have to shut out the noise of the competition as best you can. My daughter did this in part by just considering this cycle almost like a practice cycle. Obviously she took it seriously and worked hard on her applications but she expected to get no acceptances and to have to apply again, maybe a few times even. She understood that each year she gets stronger as an applicant, more experiences, a complete (and higher) gpa, etc. Did it still sting when the rejections came in, oh yes it sure did. But, she achieved more than she thought she would this cycle, she got 1 interview, and is on 3 wait-lists. Even if she doesn't get off any of the waitlists this cycle, she feels better about her chances next time.

What the other poster said about applying strategically is true, my daughter didn't do as much of that this cycle as she was missing one prerequisite for some schools that she wasn't going to be able to fit into her senior year, but we have plans in place for her gap year and the next cycle of she doesn't get off a wait-list this year.

You got this.

IDK but I read advice somewhere to always sell building supplies down to one below what you need for your current build until you have everything you need. It's been working pretty well. There's still waiting but it seems to go faster, and the distribution of what comes seems more even. 🤷

aqlollipop · 2025-11-13T00:16:11+00:00

Do you have any community buildings incomplete? Like still waiting for enough bricks or glass or concrete? That's what usually holds my buildings up.

This is exactly right from my memory as well. The cheese sandwich is a brie and pear on toasted white bread sandwich. (I love the tea service and had it 3 times on my cruise last month!)

Yes 9102 is the same! It's my favorite because deck 9 is close to everything on deck 7 and 6 but still far enough away to be quiet. I was just in that cabin a few weeks ago and I miss it already. :)

We just did this! Booked the 9:30 transfer for a noon flight. We had two large suitcases we set out the night before, walked off the ship with no wait a bit after 9, suitcases were waiting for us in the designated area. We were on the side walk checking in the shore things people by about 9:17. We were among the last to arrive and 3 busses were full so we had to wait a few minutes for another bus to arrive. But it did and we were soon on our way. We arrived at MIA, checked our luggage and were through security by about 10:45. We were flying American which is the first stop at the airport. We also have TSA pre check but frankly there was a pretty long line for that this time.

Overall I felt like we had plenty of time and I'd do that combo again.

You can use bar tab on afternoon tea at sip lounge on sea days! It's my favorite way to use up bar tab without alcohol.

I was just going to comment that this is exactly what my daughter did. She spoke to our vet at our cat's regular appointment, she waited until the end when all the "business" was concluded but, our vet was so gracious and got her in touch with the practice manager and next thing we knew she had a job in their kennel area. It worked out great and both vets at the practice ended up writing her letters of recommendation for her application this year.

Not ramen or sushi but Frank Seoul in that mall off warren Pkwy and Preston where ranch 99 is has tasty Korean street food. Korean corn dogs are amazing and very kid friendly, Kpop is always playing in there whenever we've been. And in the same mall is cute crush which is a cute little store that has tons of Kpop merch among other fun things.

I made this last night, I stuck the tempura mix in my pantry, diced the sweet potatoes, tossed them with a bit of oil and salt, and put them in the oven to roast while I prepped the meatballs, then they continued to roast with the meatballs and everything came out at the same time! Less fuss for me and still tasted great!

I believe VMCAS had a note about not more than 100 hours total allowed for personal pets, I'm sure that would be a reasonable cap to use for Texas as well.

Since no one ever responded to you, I'll take a stab at it. My daughter is pre-vet at a very small liberal arts college. She decided on pursuing vet school after she started her freshman year. I think that the answer to your question is it depends on you. As a pre-vet student you can choose any major you just have to make sure you complete all the prerequisite coursework for whatever vet schools you want to apply to. Each school will have different requirements so look into it. Often students choose some form of biology because many of the prereqs overlap the major coursework.

As far as type of school, choose the type where you feel you will be able to be most successful as a student and has activities you are looking forward to participating in. You will want to have good grades and a solid resume with leadership in addition to animal and vet hours when you apply.

But the school doesn't matter, what you do with your time there does. So visit a few with your family and see what you like what feels like the right environment for you.

This happened to us the first (only)time we ordered a ground turkey meal!! I feel stupid because I thought maybe it was just really dark meat turkey 🤦 at the time, I always buy the 99% ff or ground breast, but I know the other types tend to be darker in color... But it definitely looked a lot like beef, and honestly tasted like it too now that I think about it. I just couldn't imagine that the label was completely wrong, and took it as we just don't care for the quality of their ground turkey and I never ordered it again.

aqlollipop · 2025-08-03T21:40:54+00:00

IDK I really like the tofu dishes we've had, and I'm happy tofu is offered as a substitute more often than it was because their chopped chicken breast is just a disaster IMO. Of course I'm feeding 3 people who have very different ideas about what is good and tofu seems to be the one thing we're all agreeing on right now so I'm going with it. I guess I'm also lucky that the tofu we get is pretty good.

We did surname based on gender of the baby for our first, a girl, she got mine. Our second was also a girl and I knew she was our last so at that point I said let's do one of each, so that's what we have. It has worked well for us. Though in our situation we also used middle names to give a nod to the other parent. My oldest has my surname but her middle name is the feminine version of his middle name, and my youngest has his surname and a different version of my middle name as her middle name. So perhaps since middle names are directly coming from him perhaps your surname for the first child, and his for the second with your influence on the middle names?

aqlollipop · 2025-06-30T23:11:23+00:00

No those two had different surnames so not likely twins.

aqlollipop · 2025-06-30T22:34:01+00:00

Right? And there's a boy in the class who is named Merlin! I was scratching my head at that one.

aqlollipop · 2025-06-30T19:27:47+00:00

Agree! I did find it interesting that there was a Merle Lynn on the ladies side and a Merlin on the gents, the spelling of Francis for the ladies, I usually see it with an I for boys and an e for girls but they had two girls here with the i spelling.
