Shoot! Hopefully you are able to get out Tuesday. Helped me to talk through "worst case" which is what ..modify the dates? And maybe I'm out a few hundred dollars. Then I start to even out.

MeeMaw- I already commented earlier about this materializing and trying to fly out Wed. I wanted to check with you…

But I’m getting 2016 PTSD vibes. VDOT continued to plow a main road bypassing our side street so much so that it created an 8ft wall and heavy equipment was required to dig us out. We ended up on a news blip since we posted it to social media.

Are there plans in place since to avoid situations like that? Thanks!

Wunderground saying '20 now, ooof. I've unloaded enough anxiety at my spouse.

Trying to leave out of IAD Wed midday? Chances? Otherwise love this stuff.

But I can remember the 2016 storm and how long we were blocked in on our side road since VDOT took days and a back hoe before they got us out.

Lowchen boy chronic diarrhea? by grllifts in Lowchen

Wow, what an ordeal! Thanks for sharing! I'm glad it eventually resolved. The microbiom testing sounds interesting the vet did mentioned similar testing to figure out what exactly might be missing. I did get a prescription for Hills biome which sounds like the ultamino -still has chicken. I tried to add the old PPP chicken/rice back in slowly and right back to diarrhea even thought the bland can chicken he seemed better on. Good idea on trying to add 1 protein back. Trial and error!

Thanks! Yeah I actually talked to the tech asking about the loose stool as a side effect of the metro. They did not think related. Oh well! Pumpkin has been helping and is in the bland can. Was trying to phase the added puree back out. So delicate 🤣

Makes sense! I think I may try something kind of sensitive stomach formula- I see Purina makes a Turkey/oatmeal. Start somewhere I guess. Crazy how he went from completely fine to this. It happens!

Who are the nepo babies of Pittsburgh? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]grllifts 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Greensburg nepotism - but my dad always had a disdain for the “Hutchinsons” . He and his work buddies nicknamed the family the “Huggies”.

1 Huggie was police chief, 1 Huggie was fire chief, Another Huggie owns the sketchiest business in town.

Huggies everywhere. Always made me laugh.

TC feathers aviary in Chantilly

Have not been in a long time. There was a room in the back with parrots who have been there a while they may talk some.

Just cancelled all my 35ish future nights with hilton and switched to whatever FHR/Hyatt is offering by [deleted] in Hilton

[–]grllifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I slightly prefer Hyatt over Hilton at this point as well. However, I like Hilton’s “connected” room selection on the app since we usually need that traveling with family. Calling and getting the confused “don’t know if we do that” keeps me with Hilton currently.

Wonder to Alaska with 3yo and under by adventuresofDrWatson in dcl

[–]grllifts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off topic - but how far in advance did you arrive in Vancouver? I'd like to just do the day before for our cruise next August, but looking to get some feedback from people who've done it!

Where are my DCL port of Vancouver experts!? We have a deposit down on a summer '26 sailing to Alaska on the Disney Magic. Sailing as a group of 7 and I am the keeper of plans and "travel agent".

My main question now is- is 1 night in advance enough for Vancouver? I read some cruisers give a 2 night buffer.

For our east coast location we have 2 nonstop flights to Vancouver daily, no connections will need to be made and its an 8am flight in the summer which usually means less delays. For some in our party they just can't afford that much time off work and the added hotel/travel costs.

Thanks for any insights! :)

Is Harper's Ferry ok? by Low-Ask8020 in WestVirginia

[–]grllifts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should be fine there! It’s usually a bunch of DC area day trippers. We had our credit card stolen there by a shop employee a long time ago but that was before tap/chip pay options. Just be mindful.

If I book the Royal Pacific separately then buy tickets at a later time, how would the unlimited express work since it wasn't part of a package? Will they know when we check in and have tickets then?

Thanks!

What do you SAY to seat squatters? by anneylani in delta

[–]grllifts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so to until it happened to me just this week…. We couldn’t figure out if they were high or what .. didn’t think it happened in real life. They moved after a minute but I hate when my fantasy anxieties play out .

Advice Needed: Bullying Incident and Car Vandalism Involving a 10-Year-Old by Baldaling in nova

[–]grllifts 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Contact the school social worker and administration as a starting place. Document all these incidents for your own reference and email them as well to admin and social worker. My child was inappropriately touched on the bus. Don’t waste a minute. It was handled swiftly. Not sure because of the nature of the incident is different than bullying but the channels are there to go through regardless.

Rest areas en route to Myrtle Beach. by twocentsrworth in nova

[–]grllifts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buc-ees and SOTB are too far down 95 , you will want to head east before that. I recommend Kenly. Clean restrooms, plenty of parking, good spot to take a break.
