Based on the other poster’s comments I’ve got a bad feeling that your kid has autism.
If so, my sincere apologies for the comment. Just random bad luck/foot in the mouth disease here, nothing malicious here.
I have two kids. Neither has autism.
FYI, rubella vaccination (the r in the MMR vaccine) actually helps prevent autism.
That’s it. You found the answer.
Mistee needs to have her daughter enlist in the Navy. She’ll get free travel all over the world.
The other poster was referring, I think, to the fact that LavenderBlue, along with Kolga, wrote a book about vaccines.
That’s what I did, and was lucky enough to spend seven years in Europe as a result.
I think he/she/it means me. To which I say, the US is a pretty cool place too and I haven’t seen hardly any of it but am doing so as I can save the money.
Apparently Thailand with my Groupons. I have one for 5 baht off a “handbasket job”. Apparently it has a hole and is suspended from the ceiling and can spin and they put the … well anyways thanks for reminding me.
This is the last time I take pitting advice from splatterpunk.
And the AIDS thing? It was wishing it was a skinny cactus on a diet suppressor so it wouldn’t hurt as much. See? It was a compassionate pitting but silly me I misspelled the name of the candy.
ETA: AIDS cactus is an awesome punk band name
Are you [del]begging[/del] raising funds for spelling lessons?
I know right. My life is super awesome like yours and what with my yacht payments and the Tesla I’m saving up for there is no way in fucking hell that I could afford to drop $5 or $10 on some stupid kid I don’t know.
I know right. With how super illegal it is to bump a thread, even just once, on this message board I’m surprised she hasn’t been shot by the internet police.
It’s possible you might be a little more upset about this than the situation warrants.
This must be an American board.
I’m feeling embiggened. If I set up a GoFundMe to finish my degree, can I count on y’all? :rolleyes:
Shouldn’t you set up a GoFundMe to get embiggened?
Or you could just check your the spam filter the next time you check your e-mail. There’s probably some type of special offer for embiggening.
Okay, I looked at the details of this if-this-is-Tuesday-it-must-be-Belgium tour, and I noticed that one of the fabulous things Emily gets to see is the Arc de Triomphe. Except, you don’t need a tour guide to see the Arc de Triomphe. It’s just sitting there in the middle of downtown Paris. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe anyone can walk up to it and go in. Sheesh. It’s like people who come to L.A. and say “I want to see the Hollywood sign!” Well, there it is. Look all you like.
I thought that was what the Thailand trip was for.
I’ve taken the Gray Line tours in the US before. What the tour guide will do, if they’re any good, is explain the history and significance of the thing you’re looking at. So if this is the Arc de Triomphe, who had it built and why? Who was the architect? What was it modeled on?
I hear that sort of information is also available from books.
Sure, but how engaging is that for a 14/15 year old? I grant you some 14/15 year olds might find that fascinating, but I think it’s far more likely they’ll be bored shitless.
Far better to do something (for the London days for example) like setting them loose in the Science Museum or the Natural History Museum where there’s loads of really great interactive stuff for kids, for FREE. Then there’s heaps of really good guided historical walks, they could have a picnic in St. James’s Park, the London Eye, and on and on and on.
It’s this lack of imagination in the itinerary that would stop me paying to send my kids on this trip, let alone anyone else’s.
