  • Wheelchair accessible Europe?

    We are planning on going to Dublin, Ireland; London, England; Rome, Italy and Munich, Germany.  My girlfriend is in a wheelchair and can barely transfer by herself.  Yes, we have a power chair, but have never taken it on a plane.  So we will most likely only have a manual wheelchair.  Some places we've been has been easy to get around, but others have been a trick like around New York City's Central Park.   Most people don't notice things like bumpy sidewalks and no curb cuts.  I'm not looking for perfection.  I've just heard alot of places are cobblestone.  I've seen videos where people say its difficult to get around in Europe, but I'm only asking about these main cities.  So please only answer if you have experience with wheelchairs or strollers.

  • European vacation for an English only speaker?

    Now, I've heard a million times most of the world speaks English.  However a couple years ago I was traveling through Canada and I couldn't find anything hotels, things I knew what were to eat, ect. because I didn't speak or understand French.  One of my friends told me I was just in the wrong parts of Canada for an English speaker.  (There is not a bad part of Canada, but some parts speak less English then others which is hard on myself).

    Now, I thought well maybe a European trip is out.  However after not being able to spend much money in over a year and stimulus coming up every few months I'm starting to build up a bigger vacation account then I was planning.  

    No, its not that high and I'm not bragging or anything like that.  Its that we normally save for 1 to 2 years for a decent budgeted vacation.  But by the time covid is over (including the time for places to get back to normal)  it will be double our usual not including stimulus.  So we'll have more money then our regular trips.

    So I thought maybe Europe.  But again I'm worried about going to places and not understanding the language.  I can try to study, but I've never been good at learning a new language.  My main things that I thought about doing is things like Euro Disney and louvre.  See my birth country of Germany.  I don't think I need to worry about places around England. 

    So my main question is should I even consider a European vacation

  • Room spinning due to laying down?

    I'm trying to figure ot whats causing my girlfriends medical issue and how to deal with it until the doctors decide to deal with it.

    On Tuesday we went to the hospital ER because when she woke up the room was spinning.  The first hospital noticed brain swelling and that her vp shunt was broke. The first hospital sent her to a different hospital since they didn't have neurosurgery there.  

    So we went to the second hospital.  They noticed that nobody looked at the vp shunt in over 30 years, so they don't believe its an issue and because she is not in severe pain they are not concerned with the brain swelling.

    So they decided it had to be deep inner ear inflammation.  When the ears nose and throat doctor check they didn't see anything, but when the neurosurgeon asked if it was possible they said yes.

    Since the ER visit I have learned that it only happens when she is starting to lay down and for about 3 hours after waking up.

  • Where to buy better blankets at?

    We used to buy sheets at places like Walmart.  However we recently bought sheets from a bed store called slumberland and the difference was very noticeable.  They are at least 300% better. (they are also alot more expensive).  Now we are looking to upgrade our blankets.  Right now we sleep with one of those heavier blankets you find in the malls during the holiday season for like $30 and a cheap comforter.  I could just go back to Slumberland, but this time I want to do some research.

  • which 4k t.v. is the best for me.?

    I am a person that will pause my game, forget about it for hours and then come back to it.  I also have my TV on for long periods of time.  Because of these reasons I'm not sure if OLED tvs are right for me.

    I thought about QLED, however with only 1 HDMI 2.1 port and its on one of the later ports, Im not sure this would work either.  When t.v.s start getting old HDMI ports start going out.  My current t.v has 4 HDMI ports, but only HDMI 1 still works.

    I am a gamer and ussually have 3 to 4 systems hooked up at a time.  I want the best graphics and such for the next gen systems.

  • I am worried about a good willed person costing me my home?

    I live in a low income apartmentcomplex.  And yes management and the owners suck, but this is where I call home and I'm use to those idiots.

    Anyways a nasty storm called a Deracho hit my building.   We were without power.  Because we are mostly old people and the disabled allot of help came to my building, including a person (I'm going to call him John).  He is the owner of a company (I'll call it Goodwill activities (yes it sounds like a different company, but so does his company).

    Anyways at first he was just helping out my nieghbors.  He made videos severely over exaggerating what was going on in the building, but hey he's helping out.  But then he started hearing about how horrible management and the owners were.

    Now he's trying to get rid of them and put himself in charge.  He claims he has lawyers ready for every apartment and our building is entitled to grants that he will get for us.  Im pretty sure its blowing smoke, like he's done in his videos.

    However my worry is that when he didn't get his way he called the fire marshal to try to fine our building.  He keeps trying to call Hud, congress members, ect.

    So I don't see how he or his company can just recieve our building.  So if I'm right, even if he wins and gets rid of our owners it would go to the city and then they most likely would sell it to the highest bidder.

  • Is a Tempur pedic a good bed for me, if so which one.?

    I roll around allot before falling asleep.  I am a stomach sleeper in the end.  My girlfriend is mostly a side sleeper.  We are both warm sleepers.  Now I have been looking at the breeze mattresses.  The highest ends look either too soft or too firm, but they sleep 8 degrees cooler.  Then there is the level below that that sleeps only 3 degrees cooler.  Is that cool enough.  Is any of these mattresses good for a person that rolls around allot before falling asleep.  I'm not worried about motion transfer.  My cares in order.

    1 works with an adjustable base, for massages and general adjustments.  2. Heat resistant.  3 works for both of us (it's why I'm looking more towards the medium).  Lastly my ability to move around.

  • Witcher 3 possible endings?

    This is my first playthrough and I'm at the part where I have to make a decision between Triss an Yennifer.  I have tried to see which is the best path to go on, but I am not finding the answers I am looking for.  So I'll ask directly on here.  If you choose Triss and help Ciri become Empress, does that mean eventually Triss advises Ciri/ or 2 kingdoms controlled in part by you (advisor to 1 kingdom empress in another).

    The second part of this question.  If you romance either one of them or both, do you miss anything for the other or is it just a quick mention in the epilogue.

  • Can somebody tell me a good soda alternative that isn t water.?

    I could go into my reasons for not doing water, but the only water people would still only say water. If I was to say water would kill me they would say no it won t you should drink water. So please respect the question. I am willing to give up my soda addiction, but I need something to replace it with. The reasons are to be healthier. I am starting to have pre diabetes, I dehydrate about every 5 yrs. I am not an active person So I need to make some changes. I am already saving up to get a treadmill, however I know most people that start exercising don t continue. So I am also looking at other things like getting rid of soda. However I look up online and it says milk, but I can t see milk traveling well or being drinkable a couple days outside of a fridge. So I look up Gatorade or other sports drinks, which from what I seeing is worse for you unless you are active. Then there is certain juices that are $8 a bottle. I have done water enhancers before, which doesn t have the same issues that I have with water, but they dye everything they are around. If it is doing that to water bottles what is it doing to my insides. Now I m not saying none of these are options. I m just giving you my take so it can help you help me.

  • budget formula in excel?

    I m trying to make a budget sheet for my trip that can do a running balance and a budget. So far Ive only been able to do one or the other, but not both. I m trying to figure out if I can do both and if so how. an example would be setting $50 for something, but spending $65 on it would make it -15 as part of the running budget. The problem I am having is I would need to start off by putting $50 in that spending line to zero that out until I spend the $65. however by putting the 50 in there already means I can t do a running balance. (50 plus 40 plus 10, ect.) I would like to know how much I m spending and how well I m doing with my budget
