It was really good! At the very beginning of the partial eclipse it was clouded over, but within 5 - 10 minutes the clouds started breaking up occasionally. I think we got at least 2 or 3 minutes of visible totality. I was already super grateful to see the eclipse, and the trip home was...

Thanks everyone for your help! We made it safely on Tuesday, and are getting to share someone’s sewer, so we get to take showers in our own bathroom- yay! With one exception, everyone we’ve met along the way and here has been super nice, and we’re having a great time. All the friendly people...

I get motion sickness on that ride but I love it anyway. My spouse who usually does not have issues feels sick on the ride and doesn’t want to ride it anymore. I don’t remember it having drops so much as swoops. The issue is that one is moving while looking at stationery objects and it just...

THANK YOU, happycamper47, that’s the place! One less item to stress about! (Now if I can just figure out how to not stress about traveling to tornado alley in tornado season!) Teamubr, yeah, the gray tank is the issue. We have a Grand Design Reflection 28BH, and the holding tank is 43 gallons...

We’re relatively new to RV’ing, and are heading to our 1st ever rally. Up until now, most of our camping has been at the place five miles from our house, plus one trip to a state campground two hours away. We’ll be headed to Texas soon… over 800 miles away. The rally (at the Waco fairgrounds...

My experience with the park scooters wasn’t great. After having two (or was it 3?) have issues in one day at Epcot, I ended up renting one from a local provider for the rest of our trip. Cons: had to ride the bus. plusses: knew I had a scooter, scooter didn’t break down, scooter went much...

Older Gen X here. Was definitely a latch key kid, and figured out how to break into the house when I forgot my key. I was also the remote control for my dad (and the antenna adjuster!), the answering machine/call screener for my mom, and the snooze alarm for my older sister. I remember phones...

This was my experience with a buckwheat pillow, too. Every slight movement caused a cascade of sound .. kind of like an Australian rain stick. But maybe it wouldn’t be as loud for a back sleeper, who wouldn’t have their ear pressed to the pillow.

I was thinking of a way to address this question raised earlier: I’ll admit I know practically nothing about how to moderate a forum, and wouldn’t want to create a big burden on anyone. I thought the threads on the main board would continue to be moderated, so a reminder in the main board...

I would like the proposed sub forum. I’m not on FaceBook, Twitter/X, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, or whatever other new fangled site/app has popped up that I don’t know about. I don’t read or post all of the time, and I remember deciding one day that I wanted to see how the debating here on DB...

But here’s the thing, as a straight guy you are not familiar with the mental math some of us have to do. You aren’t wrong (I hope) when you say most people don’t care. You are wrong, though, if you think that means everyone can be safe going where they would like. The medical law that will go...

Do what you personally are comfortable with. My wife is black, so we have an added factor to think about when we travel to Florida. And individually we would pass as straight, but together we definitely give off couple vibes. In the past we had LOTS of cast members think that we also worked...

(Note: I realize the original event in question is in the past, but we are entering prime wedding season, so it seems like a good topic to discuss.) I think asking the person who invited you is fine, but do it early. My bridezilla moment came when in the 48 hours before my wedding, I started...

I did get some troll vibes, but I generally prefer to think someone is being a little obtuse in the moment ( we all have our moments) instead of purposely rude and disruptive. There’s possibly a chance to educate someone. So Tink, what are you doing here? Go ahead, tell us what you are trying...

I apologize, I did miss the “or anything else” part of your earlier post. But I’m appalled that you think it’s fine that a medical care provider can refuse to provide care and not provide a referral. And the law hasn’t gone into effect yet, so thats why there are no stories yet. If someone...

Well, people mostly don’t care, but politicians in Florida have passed a bill stating that medical personnel can refuse to provide medical care if they have a “moral” objection. And I notice, though I hope it was unintentional, you left out “sexual orientation “ in your list of things that...

As a back of the pack runner last year, I have some insight. We registered for the 10K and 10 mile races last year, but I was having some knee issues, so I knew I couldn’t complete both races. During the 10K, I foolishly entered the corral sort of needing a bathroom, and by the time the race...

We did a food tour in Cozumel back in 2019. There were people from 2 or 3 different cruise ships. We met at a grocery store that was about one or two miles away, but got dropped off at the cruise terminal at the end. I think we went to 5 or 6 different places, all very much NOT touristy - it was...

If we get to a point where we don’t want to go to the Disney parks or central Florida, we will. Right now, I’m fine using my points to visit the giraffes at AKL, and the marsh at Hilton Head. Then we’ll probably visit Univeral for a few years. If I must have my Disney fix, I‘ll figure out the...

We have a trip in a few weeks and another one for the RunDisney Springtime Surprise weekend, and we will not be going to the parks. We let our passes expire in October. Disney’s utter failure on Epcot’s 40th after the poor showing on Magic Kingdom’s 50th was the final straw. Our trip later this...
