Pretty much the title.

We all know when she’s been in the bathroom because she leaves a super distinct smell. No difference in colour or texture from normal.

It’s like salmon? Hard to describe.

I don’t know what’s causing it because she eats what we all eat.

In fact, she eats the LEAST from all the family members because she’s the smallest.

She is underweight. Which concerns me.

When she was in diapers, we noticed this odour too. We didn’t pay any mind because it’s poo after all.

Anyone with older kids ever notice or go through this?

Thanks so much.

Hi Everyone. I recently discovered this show and became obsessed.

I am your typical neurotic gal that needs to sorta know the background details (ie where did I see this actor before, etc).

My question :
is there any source out there (comic, video games, etc) where I can find the details of how Jade and Will came to be? I

think it’s so unfair that I missed this whole arc in their relationship.

I just love Will and I wanna know what happened to “them”?

Thanks so much !

What’s everyone theory on “vengeance” as the reason why “they” are here.

My theory is the classic storyline of the government taking one of theirs, doing experiments, and then “them” never being the same.

My 11 year old son has been less interested in attending his extra curricular activities. We use to have him in soccer and martial arts. He asked to be out of soccer. Fine. And now recently he wants out of martial arts.

He has no interest in attending anything else.

He says he just wants to hang out with his friends and play at the park. Which isn’t so bad.

Growing up, our parents never put us in anything. So I know that he will be fine.

At the same time, I can see a lot of benefits of him being part of an activity.

My husband is pushing for him to in at least one activity.

Can some parents share their stories of kids who have no extra activities? How has it been?

Thanks so much!

I am 45 and began expressing perimenopause symptoms at 42.

I am in desperate need of my old brain back.

The tasks and projects that I use to be able to do effortlessly is now taking me 4x as long.

I use to love my job and openly welcome new challenges, and now I feel like a shell of what I use to be. I am not efficient. I have become a poor communicator. And I just don’t feel like I’m operating at full capacity.

Does anyone have any stories of when brain fog improves or lifts after perimenopause ?

Thanks so much.

I hope everyone amuses me.

After high school, me and my pals wanted to go to TO and visit EC. We loved music, Much Music, and Electric Circus. We didn’t end up going. All of us split up and did our own finding-myself trip. I went to Asia and just stayed with fam before college.

Does anyone have any insights on how dancers were selected to become part of Electric Circus?

Thanks so much!

Sooooo…Paul Okeefe (PO) doesn’t appear to be doing that well with the civil trial.

Apparently they missed the deadline to submit evidence and TB has not been cooperative with their deposition request (duh!).

The lawyer for PO also seems really un-motivated compared to KR’s lawyer.

I don’t believe that PO believes that KR is responsible. I believe that he is in bed with the Alberts and wasn’t all that particularly close with his family.

My predication for this trial is that it will be dismissed on a technicality because of the un-motivated lawyer.

What is everyone’s thoughts on this?

Thanks so much.

Hi Everyone.

I have a question about childcare expenses. Whether the expenses increase or decrease as the kids get older.

I have 2 kids, age 5 and 11. Both kids are active in dance and soccer. While we do pay premiums for their activities, it is still cheaper than what we had paid for daycare.

Due to the uncertainty of my existing job, I am considering taking a lower paying job because it would have more security.

I am looking to get feedback and stories from other parents if your child expenses increased or decreased as their kids got older.

Thanks so much!

Our family has run into the issue where our hotel checkout is at 11 am and our flight is not until 11 pm.

In the past, we would typically just book one more night. But this time there wasn’t any rooms available.

Our backup hotel is now fully booked up and we are scrambling on our options with kids and seniors in our group.

Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Thanks so much!

Hello! We are travelling with kids and staying at the embassy.

It doesn’t have the greatest pool so we thought about doing a day pass for Hilton Hawaii Village.

Is the pass worth it?

How does the staff check?

Do the pools get quite crowded during the day?

Thanks so much!

Exactly the title.

His mood swings started about a year ago. We thought it was from too much after school activities, so we pulled back on that and only have him on an activity twice a week.

He just seems to be in this constant state of really angry / moody to a very jovial / helpful kid.

He does decent at school. Performs above his grade. Has friends. And has family members that are very active in his life.

Despite this, his bouts of anger is so troubling. And the family feels like we have to stay out of his way because he is so vile to all of us.

Like yesterday, he didn’t wanna come with us to an outing because he was seeing his friends. That’s fine.

We brought over leftover curry which he devoured.

Then today, he is just in a sour mood because he wants more of the curry. I explained that I will get it again when we’re in that area. That this is not an around the corner place. To get there and back is at least 1.5 hrs. Then he proceeds to argue with me and starts criticizing the food we eat. Which is obviously out of line.

I was told by other parents that this appears to be the norm. And that they will eventually grow out of it

How did you guys survive this phase of your child’s upbringing ?

Thanks so much.

Hi Everyone.

I am accompanying my mom and her sisters (my aunts) and their husbands to Oahu. All 65 years and older.

They are firm on visiting the Polynesian Centre.

I know that we all have our thoughts about this place, but I was hoping to still get some advice.

We are arriving on a Friday afternoon and we are undecided if we want to visit on the Saturday or Monday. The rest of the week is accounted for with other activities.

I know that Saturday will be busy. But I’m thinking it will be more lively and the food will be more fresh.

And Monday is the day after their closed day. While it might be less busy, I am concerned about the quality of entertainment or food.

Excited to hear everyone’s thoughts! Saturday or Monday for Polynesian Centre?

We weren’t able to get the room that we wanted but just want to see if we can use any of the pools in this area for the day.

Does anyone have a pulse is there is such a hotel in this area who accepts day passes?

Thanks.

Because of the festivities happening, I’ve been to Earles, Cactus Club, and similar franchise restaurants several times for the past couple of weeks. They’ve all been very good experience (Earle’s has no business to serve mid food for that price though)

Not once did I get served by a waitress that didn’t appear older that 31 and was not traditional / conventionally attractive.

Does anyone have any idea how these industries shoo away waitresses that eventually get older and their appearance changes?

Just overall curious.

Thanks.

Hello. We will be staying in Waikiki and will be doing a day trip to Lanikai Beach on one of our days.

I just have some questions:

1. If we take an uber, where would we get dropped off? At the beach walkway or somewhere else?

2. I see that there is a restaurant about 10 mins walk away, can I walk to the restaurant from the beach? Or do I have to go back on the road?

3. What is the risk of jellyfish this time of year ?

Thanks so much!

Hi Everyone!

Our family is going to Oahu next and our base will in Waikiki.

We will be doing a day trip to Ko Olina Beach Lagoon 4.

I was googling beach chair and umbrella rentals and I also sobbed when I saw the prices.

Is it really just royal Hawaiin doing the rentals? is there any alternatives to them?

Thanks so much !!
