Has anyone had a great experience of some nice cabin rentals in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN area?  We have stayed in a few but looking for something more.  I have seen a few cabins with indoor pools INSIDE the cabin.  Would love to stay at one of those but they are a bit pricey.  Does anyone know of any cabins like this but not so pricey?  I realize they may cost more because of the major added bonus...if not, could you tell me of a cabin that you stayed in and had a great experience?

Thanks!  Desperately in need of a good vacation.

There was a story on one of the TV newsmagazine shows (Dateline NBC, 48 Hours, one of those) a while back about the widespread bedbug problem in hotels all over the place, even WAY upscale hotels.

The thing is, my husband hasn't been on a trip in probably three months. So the only thing we can figure is the $@$#%@#$ critters were hibernating or whatever and the spring warmth has brought them out - but you would think that having the heater on during the winter would bring them out, too.  It is very frustrating. My poor husband is eaten alive by the things. He stripped the bed, washed all the bedding and dried it on the hottest dryer setting, he sprayed alcohol on his mattress and box springs and carpet....so far he hasn't had any new bites but it's probably just a matter of time. He is calling the exterminator today. Sigh.

even in Florida - the casinos you can smoke at - at least in certain areas like the bingo.........not the dealer tables at the Seminoles but at every other casino locally in S. Florida, there is smoking allowed.....Hard Rock Resort and Casino - smoking allowed.

In Las Vegas, if there are casinos in the hotel - you will be dealing with smoke.

However, there are plenty of smokeless, casino-less places......enjoy!

I feel so bad for your situation.....the hotels affected in NYC were VERY upscale places....bed bugs can happen to anyone really...it's like the lice thing - years ago, it was due to dirty kids but today, in public schools, lice is there because the kids work together and they jump from head to head.....it's not a socioeconomic problem today....it's a public school problem....same thing with bedbugs....I think....

Have you googled this?  (I'm sure you have, though).....the bedbug issue?....just a though anyway.

I hope you get this resolved really rapidly...your poor hubby!!! 

My son is 8, he's in 3rd grade.

He can concentrate for hours on videogames.  We spend all of our time together, except for the hours he is in school.  Of course, I'm a SAHM MT, so that makes for more time for us.  He talks nonstop to everyone, everywhere, all the time.  However, my dad and my DH's dad do the same thing, so that could be inherited!

I'm not sure if ADD is the right word here, but don't know how else to describe it.  He's not behind by any means in school, however the thing is, it takes him twice as long to complete *jobs*, as his teacher puts it, than the other kids.  I know from my experience with him and homework, and it's like pulling teeth sometimes to get one worksheet done.  He's just extremely social, I guess.  He can't sit still.  He has a hard time focusing, I do know that much. 

Medication is the last thing we want to do (yes, his father is VERY involved in his life...we are an intact family).  I'm thinking about taking him to his ped's office just to talk about some things we can try.  I don't want him labeled with anything unless we know for sure he has it.  I'm just exploring options right now.

Thanks for the advice and responses y'all, keep 'em coming! 

I definitely need to lose the plastic hamster cage.  It has metal slats on the sides and all of their bedding gets pushed out all over the floor.  Who ever thought that was a good idea.  I wish they would have warned me at the pet store. 

BTW, three days after we got them, one of them chewed its tail off or one of the others possibly did it.  Ever heard of that? 

I think my husband could probably change those too, but $100 each bearing, and it's happened several times to you, that would get really aggravating.  I'm considering a different vehicle, possibly.  I like my car alot, but if this is something that could be ongoing, i don't want the headache.  we have a 1994 dodge dakota that we bought brand new and he maintains it and we never have problems with it.  i just think some of this new technology on the cars isn't so great.

thanks for your info!  it helps to know what other people have done.  there is a website i found topix.com that have a whole bunch of people on there that have had this problem and some of them said what they did to help the problem.

i don't even have credit cards to some of these accounts that are open.  i think i will end up closing some of them.  i think there are at least 10 or so of these credit card accounts that are open on my credit report that i don't use at all and haven't used for many years. 

First, her name is Dixie Lucille...she's precious!

Second, I am in no way expecting her to be fully potty trained by now, my thing is she poops in her kennel, then gets it all over herself. She goes out at least every hour on the hour.  She eats at 7, 12, and 5 every day, then goes out to potty, walk, etc. We did not get her from a *breeder* per se, a neighbor had pups so we got one from her. She was kept outside when she was with her family.

We do the whole praise and treat thing when she goes outside. We play with her, we walk her regularly...I am a bit impatient by nature, guess that's something I need to work on.

Anyway, thanks for all the advice. I'm not ready to give her up yet. Our 9 YOS loves her, which is a HUGE accomplishment for him, as he has always been afraid of dogs, but like me, fell in love with her when we saw her.  My DH always wanted a Basset, so held out until he found one. She's a sweetie and I know her accidents are not her fault...I just hate cleaning up the mess and having to wash her off again and again.  I'll keep y'all posted on her (and my) progress!
