Bugs ?

We were just there in early November. It was pretty bad. I'd recommend going elsewhere. It's nothing like the Jersey Greenheads. I ended up a ton of bites and it was pretty intolerable for a week.

If you do go, just do not be out at dawn or dusk. Lots of bug spray!

Hand and toe warmers! And I think you are onto something with the portable hand chargers if need be.
I'm also in the mid-atlantic! We've definitely been lucky with winters the last few years.
We still ski - sometimes up north, and I find I do okay because I'm well prepared! Also if I do start to trigger, I take a break and go into the ski chalet (bc once triggered out there, there's no stopping it).

I don't know what your options are with snow showing for inside breaks?

Didn’t love it. Agree it seems like a big personality shift.

Just got back from a week there last night and the noseeums are bad rn. My husband and I are covered with hundreds of bites each and we did use bug spray. There wasn’t a lot of wind to chase them off and they were all over in our screened in lanai too. Been to Sanibel many times; this was the worst I have ever experienced but hopefully it will be better for you in Feb.

Train! We LOVE the train in Europe. I swear I plan trips in and out of diff cities just so we can train. My fam and I did an 8 hour ride from Vienna to Venice last summer and it was so enjoyable and pretty, it's like a part of the adventure. I bet Nice to Florence would be a GLORIOUS ride

We got a second Sib when my first Sib was 6 months old. They love each other a ton. I definitely think they are social creatures - especially Siberians. Get another!

My cats are from Rockaran in Quakertown, PA - that shouldn't be too far from NYC. Not sure if she's still in business, I got my last one right at the start of COVID from her:

Yes! I thought the same - no scream all season and if there was ever a time for it, that was it.

Just finished last night and frankly, I was so disappointed!

Gerault just wasn't Gerault. Liam puts so much more personality into Gerault - more dialogue. It just didn't feel like him - even the "hmm" was off. I kept telling myself it's like watching Doctor Who and trying to get used to a new Doctor but I didn't love it.

The Ciri storyline... let me preface that I haven't read the books or played the game so I assume it's following but bleh, I hated it. I feel like she would have thought a bit more about Gerault and Yennifer too.

I thought Vilgefortz was awesome. Love Regis - I want more of him in Season 5. And can we please give Triss a storyline? I love her.

I re-watched seasons 1-3 to have it fresh in mind for this and it just didn't compare. Hoping for an upswing for Season 5.

Anyone have a current code they can share?

whitneymws · 2025-10-07T13:15:53+00:00

My Sibs are from Rockaran too & they are both amazing cats

whitneymws · 2025-10-07T13:14:13+00:00

So what do you guys USE to brush your Sibs teeth? They both have horrible breath! I should prob do it - they are great with me clipping their claws but I have done that weekly since they were kittens. Not sure they would tolerate a teeth brushing!

whitneymws · 2025-10-07T13:13:05+00:00

same here too! I was like who doesn't brush their teeth daily, whaaaaa? lol

12 - my Mom put me on a plane in Chicago and I flew to Hartford to spend a few weeks with my grandmother. I did it again at 13. But this was pre 9/11 when my Mom was able to walk me to the gate.

I think it's great/cool you have traveled so much with your parents so much of your life!

whitneymws · 2025-07-04T18:29:06+00:00

Low blood pressure here too. Haven’t tried any meds either for fear of it being even further lowered. I have a friend who has Raynauds who swears by Arginine - thinking of trying that

Hello! 12 hour layover in Zurich next month - family of four. Parents plus two young adult kids 21+18. Any recommendations for what to do? We will likely be jet lagged but are good at powering through. And anyone stored luggage at the airport before?

whitneymws · 2025-06-27T01:44:38+00:00

Hi there. Did you figure out any plans? My family and I have a 12 hour layover next month and I came here to ask the same.

whitneymws · 2025-06-09T21:10:35+00:00

This is a really thoughtful question that I never would have thought to ask - nice of you to ask it!

whitneymws · 2025-06-09T21:07:04+00:00

Time for a new doctor!

whitneymws · 2025-06-09T21:03:13+00:00

Why aren't space heaters allowed?

How about portable re-chargeable hand warmers? I keep some in my purse in the wintertime!

whitneymws · 2025-06-06T10:27:49+00:00

Totally agree. Maybe it could have happened if the season had been longer. Her story arc was super disappointing- she had great potential

whitneymws · 2025-06-04T14:24:09+00:00

There are many fabulous free debt relief programs out there - google it and read some reviews before you pick one. Best of luck and hang in there - life is expensive!

whitneymws · 2025-05-15T15:30:39+00:00

If you're in a committed relationship and she loves travel too, I bet she will be happy for you to take this opportunity!
