*Old* Girls only Vegas thread. See new link in first post. Thanks!

[Queenbillabong]

Great - you're driving?

If we can't find where you get it in OC, I can get it here and we can meet at DL sometime before the trip. But first - Theresa, you should look in Canada for good liquor stores as they may import it. Not Magicale, but the rosa.

I have looked in Canada and they have it in Manitoba and Newfoundland (of all places :confused3), but not BC. I have faxed in a request form, but who knows if/that will work and how long it would take....... I did it two weeks ago and no response.

It's very strange that this one place has it in Hawaii since Magicale is exclusive to Disney. And the cost of shipping anything to Hawaii drives up the retail price, so it's very odd. Anyway, you won't find Magicale in Vegas.

If someone is driving maybe they will drive over a couple of bottles of the rosa to Vegas. I can help them locate the bottles or get some to them if the driver can't find them in OC.

On the V. pins, they always come in the same pairs. So if you got Yeti, you got teacups. Did you find that Ebay name? Shoot me a PM or email when you do, please, rather than post it here.

It is strange it's only in Hawaii - not sure why. When they get it, it's very few bottles. Last time it was 9 bottles and they went really fast. I e-mailed them and they are looking into shipping to Canada, but I would have to buy a case of it. Fine by me :thumbsup2

Thanks. I just finished 2 tests. Logic is pretty easy & fun.

Nite Donna...

Umm...what is the name of the wine you found???

Theresa, if I found some I would be willing to ship it to you. Or if i lived in Bellingham I would meet you somewhere. I am far away from the border...well except for Taco Bell's border...:lmao:

Ha!! You have to try some too, Deb, and let me know if it's as good as Magicale :lovestruc

Thanks! I will keep an eye out for that.

Thanks, Beth!!!

OMG, you guys are NOT going to believe this!!!!

Guess what I just read??



Pretty good, right??

Get this:
:headache: :mad: :sad2: :rolleyes:

Darn it. That would have been so perfect!!!!!! The seats we were looking at were Cat. 2 I believe, so they would have been 75 bucks. Shoot.
How ironic that we were just talking about this today. And I was telling you I'd never seen a locals offer for Love. Sure enough, that's what it says, "First time locals offer." Ugh.


Anyone wanna come a month earlier? :rolleyes1

Bummer :sad1: I'm coming in May then :rolleyes:

HaPpPy Friday, Girlie Girls!:grouphug:

:yay::yay:Yeahhhhhhhhh it's friday:yay::yay:

Happy Good Friday!!!

[Queenbillabong]

Ooh, forgot to mention that Torrid has a 20% off deal right now - Friday and Saturday. Use code spring20 :thumbsup2

There's another deal going on right now through the end of April, and this one is till the end of May. So maybe another one will come up for June... wish, wish, wish!!!

I would share the case with you. I looked last night and they were out. :guilty:

Ha!! You have to try some too, Deb, and let me know if it's as good as Magicale :lovestruc

I will let you know how it is, if I find it.

Thanks, Beth!!!

Thanks. I am going to have to do some shopping.

[Stacerita]

Hey, you and your BF will be here while the promo is on. Is he interested in seeing the show? :confused3

Not really. If I super wanted to see the show, he would go with me. But its not really his thing.

Ooh, forgot to mention that Torrid has a 20% off deal right now - Friday and Saturday. Use code spring20 :thumbsup2

Cool, thanks!

[mommaU4]

There's another deal going on right now through the end of April, and this one is till the end of May. So maybe another one will come up for June... wish, wish, wish!!!I'll be wishing, but even if one comes up it won't be a 40% off deal. :sad1:
And I'm not sure how long ya'll wanna wait to find out. That part is up to you.



Not really. If I super wanted to see the show, he would go with me. But its not really his thing.
Got it.

[fairykin]

Thank you for posting all this information on the show, prices and seatting, Beth. I appreciate the time you always put into helping others.:hug:

[fairykin]

:idea:Heyyyyyyy Donna would be super great to be on the mixer night planning committee..she's creative and local. *Hint Hint*

[wendylady36]

Yeah, that's a Disney markup!! You can buy the Magicale from Wine By Numbers in Hawaii (if you LIVE in Hawaii though) for only $19.95/bottle........ I'm still hoping to finagle two bottles to bring home from Vegas (please, please, pretty please). If someone knows where to get some in Vegas, I would be soooooo happy. I think I can bring home only two bottles though (legally - and we're being good here :thumbsup2) as long as I bring it in my suitcase (not shipped, not in carry-on). Then I have to wait until August to get more (so drink slooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly and make it last!).

I loved how the website was selling it by the bottle, and now you have to buy it by the case. :sad2: $20 I could, $200+ I cannot. :rotfl:

Ooh, forgot to mention that Torrid has a 20% off deal right now - Friday and Saturday. Use code spring20 :thumbsup2

I got that e-mail too! :thumbsup2 Too bad I'm super broke. :sad2:


Happy Friday everyone!

[Stacerita]

This time next week I will just be rolling out of bed from my Chippendale stupor the night before.:banana:

[mommaU4]

I just got an email. The Love tickets are on sale for the month of June as well. :thumbsup2
Not the 40% off locals deal unfortunately, but they are 25% off which is better than nothing.
http://mirage-cds.admission.com/adm/LOVE_25.htm

So the category 2 seats, normally running $137.50 are going for $103.13. Those are the ones I'd pick.
And interestingly enough, most of the better category 2 seats are going fast, where as category 1 still has plenty left. I think people are realizing being close to the stage isn't the best thing for this show, and that the closer category 2 seats will probably sell out first. So what's left will be either really close or really far.

I guess now you all need to decide if:

1. You are ready to buy them now or do you wait for a different deal?

2. If you get them now, are you going for 10 seats all in a row, or two rows of 5 and 5 with one in front of the other?

3. Who's got enough moola available on a credit card to order 10 tickets at over 100 bucks a piece?

I can, but when I search, I still get the same as before, section 204, row r; whether I put in 5 or 10 seats.

[toocherie]

I just tried it with best available rather than cat. 1--it still gave me the 25% discount (price was $123) and I got section 205 row L for 10 seats

[stacielee]

I just tried it with best available rather than cat. 1--it still gave me the 25% discount (price was $123) and I got section 205 row L for 10 seats

That's so weird. I just did it again, best available, and got this: Level Lower, Section 102, Row B, Seat 3-12

Same as when I choose Cat 1; then when I choose Cat 2, I get this:
Level Upper, Section 205, Row S, Seat 9-18

[cheshiregirl]

Alot of times calling and booking over the phone is best because then you have a human who knows the theatre layout that can find you the best possible seats rather than what the computer "thinks" is best. We recently went to see Phantom and I booked over the phone to get a locals discount, and while the seats that the agent booked for us were farther back than the "best available" online, she knew that the supposedly better seats actually had a partially obstructed view. So, I would suggest that whomever is going to make the booking take a few minutes to call... but that's just mho.:confused3

If either of you get the tickets, will you let us know so we can send you the cash??? This is a super deal :thumbsup2

[Stacerita]

Same here. I will send cash or check. Just let me know. I do not have enough on my card to get the tickets for everyone. Sorry.

[mommaU4]

That's what I was just about to post. Sometimes when you call you can ask for exactly which locations you'd like to have.

[mommaU4]

HI Amy, Jane, and Stacie!

I just wanted to let you know I bought the Chippendale tickets. Actually Ruben did. He was listening to that radio show I was telling you about and they were having a special. 4 tickets for $25!!!

That is dirt cheap. Normally they are $50-something, and they were on sale for locals for $20 each. But he called and got four of them for $25 total. :banana:

The only downside is I'm not sure how good the seats are. But I figure for around 6 bucks a person, it doesn't matter. That's cheaper than going to a movie!! We'll still have a great time just hanging out. :banana:

Anyway, just wanted to pass that info along.

Woooohoooo for Ruben getting us cheapie tickets :woohoo:

Personally, it doesn't matter to me where the seats are. As long as I can see them :banana: I'm all good. Heck, my drink will cost more than the ticket. :rotfl:

:lmao: You're right. It probably will. :rotfl2:

Well, I figured if the seats suck, at least we aren't out any real money, and we'll still all get to meet up. :dance3:

Did you see that the radio show also has discount tickets to that Erotic Museum you were asking about? That's where we got our tix from.

[fairykin]

Boo!

i've got the grandbabies easter baskets made.. the easter bunny goes to their house... and the easter goat goes to our house:rotfl:

i filled 10 dozen plastic eggs today.. they should have a super great time hunting eggs.:goodvibes

oohh and i put little baby chicks in their easter basket.. because whenever they say i love you.. they tuck their little hands under their armpits and go BoCk BoCk i love youuuuuuuuu... they look like little baby chicks! Too funnY!

I will have to check that radio show when I get home. I'm blocked here. But I really want to see the museum, so I think we will go next week. I also want to see bodies next week too. Busy Vegas trip for me.

Too cute! Easter is so much fun with young kids - you get to hide the eggs. Jesse is so not there anymore :sad2:

Oooh, time to go play Rock Band :woohoo: The only song I'm any good at is Spirit in the Sky and I can only sing. I STINK at every single instrument :scared:

I have never played rock band. I have played guitar hero a few times though. But my pinky finger always cramps up.

::

I wanna hide Easter eggs too--but no young kids here. (I guess I could hide them for myself, but it just wouldn't be the same . . . . )

Stacielee--are you calling about the tickets?

[Stacerita]

I wanna hide Easter eggs too--but no young kids here. (I guess I could hide them for myself, but it just wouldn't be the same . . . . )

I say, hide the eggs. Then drink a lot of wine. Then go try to find the eggs. If will be just like someone else hid them. Oh, and let me come watch. ;)

[Queenbillabong]

I love Rock Band!! It's great because a lot of people (depending on how many instruments/microphones you have) can play together :thumbsup2 I could never play Guitar Hero because I stink at the instruments. No one will let me play anymore, except to sing. Not that I'm a good singer, but at least I won't cause the entire band to lose with my sucky skills :sad2: I do a lot better when I realized it doesn't matter what words you say, as long as you somewhat follow the tune and pitch. I even got "AWESOME" for a Beasty Boys rap song that I totally made up my own rhymes for (I had NO IDEA what the words were - plus no way am I saying that with a straight face :eek:). Just call me MC Mama :lmao:

I wanna hide Easter eggs too--but no young kids here. (I guess I could hide them for myself, but it just wouldn't be the same . . . . )

I know - I would hide them for myself too since Jesse is such a poop now (13 - too cool for most things :confused3). It's like buying yourself Christmas presents (which I do anyway - Hey, I give good gift :rotfl:) - not quite as fun, but you're sure you're going to get the good stuff!

[jordansmomma]

Beth~ that is a great deal on the tickets.

Dawn~ Easter goat..that is too funny!! That is a lot of eggs!! Holy schmoly! Sunday is going to be a lot of fun around your house.

Rockband is so fun!! I suck at the guitar & drums, so I am always on vocals. For some reason I always sound so much better in the car. :confused3

But its still a whole lot of fun!!

I bought 2 cute pairs of flip flops today.
I bought the boys tan O'neal shirts for their pictures tomorrow.

It has been a busy day.
Is it June yet??

[mommaU4]

I will have to check that radio show when I get home. I'm blocked here. But I really want to see the museum, so I think we will go next week. I also want to see bodies next week too. Busy Vegas trip for me.
I think our museum tickets were like a $40 pair on sale for $17 total.
Bodies is always on sale too. Don't buy it full price. Check with Tickets2Nite or Tickets4Tonight first.

Also, I dont sing in the shower since the window opens up to the driveway. My mailman doesn't think I sing as good as I think I do in the car. What's up with that?

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Hi all. I've been out all day, met DH at a restaurant for dinner (two cars, so LA - at least his is a Prius) and now I'm exhausted and trying to catch up here. Hope you all had a good day!

[fairykin]

Poor Martha Stewart..she got sent to jail :guilty:

:rotfl: i wish i had the energy of a crack head.. :rotfl2: but nooooooooooo i'm the sleepy bunny:upsidedow

My DD doesn't think I sing well either. I just call her a hater and keep on singing.

[CaliforniaDreamer]

I"m reading backwards so maybe that's why nothing is making sense. Why is Dawn talking about Martha Stewart going to jail? Did they send her back there again????

I'm with everyone who doesn't have little kids... I miss out on all that fun egg stuff...

I don't think kids ever think their moms can sing...
Stacie, sent you a PM...

Thanks. I will check them first.

Hi Donna
Stacie said Dawn was like Martha stewart on crack. So she said poor martha.

How was dinner? Where did ya go?

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Hi Donna
Stacie said Dawn was like Martha stewart on crack. So she said poor martha.

How was dinner? Where did ya go?

Ah, I see. That's awfully funny. I love Stacie's sense of humor. But don't tell her, she might get a big head.

DH picked a Japanese place that's popular and good but has good prices. I noticed their prices went down since last time we were there, maybe a year ago. The complete dinner (soup, salad, 2 choices (like a teriyaki and salmon or tempura and sashimi), rice, tiny spring roll) was $12.99.

How was your day?

[Stacerita]

Ah, I see. That's awfully funny. I love Stacie's sense of humor. But don't tell her, she might get a big head.


A big head will go with my big hair. So its all good! :thumbsup2

Have fun at lunch Dawn.

Sounds good to me.


DBF is picking me up shortly and we are spending the day together. Going to the movies, shopping, a few errands. And then we are planning on heading to DTD for dinner and to watch the fireworks.

Talk to you ladies later. Have a great day!

[Queenbillabong]

Afternoon Girly Divas (combo of Girly Girls and Vegas Divas :thumbsup2). I am totally bummed because I seem to have lost my blinky star tag :sad1: I loved my blinky start tag........... I have three new ones, but nothing blinky, flashing, scrolling...... I am sad.

Awesome work on picking up a great deal for the tickets... yay for more stripper cash now!!!

Anyway, not to say that I am missing any of you, but I'm sitting here catching up on the threads after a long day of shopping, and I'm wearing a tiara just because. My hair is styled in what Beth dubbed my princess: "princess hairdo" on the trip, and it just screamed to have a tiara added, so I did!

[stacielee]

I wanna hide Easter eggs too--but no young kids here. (I guess I could hide them for myself, but it just wouldn't be the same . . . . )

Stacielee--are you calling about the tickets?

Just catching up... I can call, but I need definite confirmations from everyone who wants to go. I'm not buying 10 tickets and find out that not everyone is IN.

If you are DEFINITELY in for Love, please PM me. I'll see what I can find out as soon as I hear from the other 9 who have said they wanted to go.

Awesome work on picking up a great deal for the tickets... yay for more stripper cash now!!!

Anyway, not to say that I am missing any of you, but I'm sitting here catching up on the threads after a long day of shopping, and I'm wearing a tiara just because. My hair is styled in what Beth dubbed my princess: "princess hairdo" on the trip, and it just screamed to have a tiara added, so I did!


Awwwww.... love that!princess:

I love that you wore you tiara just because. Doesn't it automatically make you feel special?

Just catching up... I can call, but I need definite confirmations from everyone who wants to go. I'm not buying 10 tickets and find out that not everyone is IN.

If you are DEFINITELY in for Love, please PM me. I'll see what I can find out as soon as I hear from the other 9 who have said they wanted to go.

PM sent.

Wait, so do you not miss us? ;)

Hi Everybody,

I hope your Easter has been good. We woke up to it being really really cold.
So last minute bringing the luncheon in doors. The babyback ribs were sooo yummy..i mixed up a bunch of stuff to make a orange-raspberry chipolte terrakyi sauce..it was sooo finger licking.

The babies were happy with their treasures. :lovestruc

Sounds awesome (except the cold...). I love the idea of barbecue for Easter - I think I'm doing that next year :upsidedow We've been super busy this weekend because of ball hockey (we won today - yay!! and Jesse scored a goal - woo hoo!!). He's so excited because he's the team captain - he loves it. I think it's good for him too - he has to encourage all the players and work together as a team :thumbsup2 We're not having Easter dinner until tomorrow because I'm too pooped out for today, but it will be good.

Of course I miss you!

I tend to think of myself as hair challenged too, so thanks for the compliment :lovestruc



I love that you wore you tiara just because. Doesn't it automatically make you feel special?


It does make me feel special, which is why I do it!!!

Hope that everyone had a wonderful Sunday and great holiday, which ever one you happen to be celebrating. We woke up a little later than usual and let Ty take apart his Easter basket. Despite the fact that I didn't feel like it had very much candy in it, I think that he had more sugar before 10 am than he has had in his entire life thus far. Then we headed to the park and let him work off a little energy on the playground and he had a little easter egg hunt.

Then it was naptime for Ty so Dave and I spent that time playing with my fun new Wii game that the Easter bunny brought me--Dance Dance Revolution Disney Grooves. It is so much fun and a good workout to boot! I love all the Disney music and the cute little costumes that you can earn so that you can dress your Mii like Disney characters.

Finally I grabbed a short nap while Dave made dinner--glazed spiral ham, mac'n'cheese and a creamed spinach casserole that is the most important holiday food tradition in my family. And now I am catching up on the boards. All in all, it was a perfect day!

We had margharita pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, ravioli with meat sauce, and pricutto stuffed chicken. It was all so good. Oh, and we had a spinch salad with candied walnuts and goat cheese. MMmmmm!

You totally should have. We ended up with so many leftovers that we could have had at least 3 or more people at the table and still be stuffed at the end of the meal.

Morning girls!
Sounds like everyone had a great Easter.

Way to go JESSE!!

So get this..my kids never ask for an egg hunt. Well yesterday after dinner Kaeleb is like, "Mom, when are we going to hunt for eggs?"
Ok so they are usually with their dad on Easter, or we go to church and then they go to their cousins house with their grandparents in Tricities. So I haven't had to do and egg hunt in years. Well last year we had one at my friend Ambers house before the BBQ. Anywho I felt so bad. I didn't even think of an egg hunt.
1. Because Jordan is way too COOL :cool2: to hunt for eggs.
2. I don't have any plastic eggs.
3. I already used most of the other eggs for deviled eggs & egg salad
4. They never ask for this....

So next year, I guess they will hunt for eggs, even Mr.I am too cool for anything....

[mommaU4]

Ugh, why did I have to read that when I am supposed to be getting back on my diet today. :headache: lol




Beth, how are you feeling? Hope you are better!I'm good, thanks. My sore throat is totally gone, and just a few sniffles remain. :thumbsup2




So next year, I guess they will hunt for eggs, even Mr.I am too cool for anything....
Aww, don't feel bad. You couldn't have known. Kids, they like to keep us guessing don't they!!

My son is 14 and he likes to think he's too cool for it all, but once we start something he'll join in. I found most kids are like that at heart even if they have to try to act cool on the outside. :goodvibes

How was your Easter?

We had bought tickets for one of Wagner's Ring cycle operas months ago, not realizing it was Easter Sunday. It was over 4 hours long but amazing. So we had brunch out beforehand.

How's everyone today?

[cheshiregirl]

I am not a recipe user... I tend to know the basics and improvise, so here is an approximation of how to make this yummy casserole.

Spinach Crunch

1 bag or 2 bricks of frozen chopped spinach
1 clove grated garlic and/or garlic salt to taste
1 brick cream cheese
1 can evaporated milk
1 egg
1 tsp. lemon juice
dash of onion salt
1-2 cups crushed corn or rice chex OR crispix
1-2 tbsp. melted butter


Cook spinach on stovetop and drain well. Add a little grated garlic and/or garlic salt. Transfer to an 8X11 baking pan.

Use the same pot that you cooked the spinach in to make a cream sauce using the cream cheese, egg and approximately 1/2 of the evaporated milk. Whisk constantly to incorporate the cream cheese and egg into the milk. Once it is a nice thick creamy consistency add a little onion salt and the lemon juice.

Pour the sauce over the spinach and use a spatula to mix thoroughly and spread evenly in the baking dish. Cover with crushed cereal to make a nice topping. Drizzle with melted butter. Bake at 350-375 for 25-30 minutes.

My mom has been making it for every holiday--Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and all 6 family members' birthdays for as long as I can remember after she found the recipe in a PTA cookbook when I was little. Since then every member of my immediate family has learned how to make it and we have taught our husbands and wives to make it too, yet the cookbook it came from is long gone and as far as I know we have no written recipe, we all just know how to do it. If you try it, let me know what you think!

Yes. Thank goodness, otherwise I couldn't tolerate it. I don't know how people live in places that are humid. We went to Florida one year in May and the heat and humidity were so bad, I was miserable. You just drip sweat even in the shade. It's icky! :scared:

Hopefully after Stripper 101, we wont need to pay for much. :rolleyes1 ;)

[stacielee]

Update on Love:

These are the people who I have gotten a PM confirming they want to get tickets for Love:
Cheryl, Theresa, Stacie, Donna, Amy, Wendy, Jane, and me.

Debbie PM'd me about the price and Dawn PM'd me that she isn't going. That accounts for everyone on the list. Debbie, let me know ASAP if you are in.

In the meantime, I'll see about making up a mock price list of things so everyone can get an idea of what it will run them. Keep a chair or soft pillow handy for when you faint. :rolleyes1 :rotfl:

Yahoo!!!

BTW - I looked at Lucky Cheng's and we can reserve the seats. The only issue I would have with that is that if people confirm they are going and then do not show up, the person who reserved gets charged $20 per person (Fri-Sat) who does not show up plus $15 food costs per person who does not show up, so it would be great if everyone can be sure, sure they are going!!!!

Theresa: don't count me in the reserved count. Chances are that I'll be leaving earlier in the week (I'm planning on at least Sun.-Wed for now, and if I can stay later and add on to activities great--if not--more gambling time!)

[mommaU4]

OKay, here is a very general, very quick idea of what things will cost. Keep in mind this will vary from person to person depending on what souvenirs they buy, how many Coach bags they need, how many drinks they down, how many ones they shove in the G-string, etc. ;)

Sunday
Dinner @ Margaritaville - $20 (this is about what I pay for my meals out, or even less. But keep in mind, I order the cheaper items like chicken and pasta, and no alcohol. So if you order a fancy drink and the steak, obviously it will be more. Menus are linked on the front page so you can always go through and select what you think you'll order to get an approximate cost.)


Monday
Breakfast - $0 (grab something in the room to save $$$)

Luxor, Excalibur, NY NY, and MGM/Lion Habitat are all free to walk around.

Lunch @ Il Fornaio - $15-$20 (again depending on what you order so adjust accordingly.)

M&M World/Coke Store - free to walk around, but depends on if you buy souvenirs. They do have cute things so maybe allow some spending money for this.

Dinner @ BLT Burger - $20-$25 depending on if you order dessert or a spiked milkshake. ;)

Love - $103 plus taxes and fees

Volcano/Pirate show - Free

Drinks @ Kahunaville and/or The Wynn - I don't know, how much can you drink?? :rotfl: I'd allow around $20 for this.


Tuesday
Breakfast in room - $0

Massage - This varies depending on what services you get, but it seems to run around $90.

OR for those not doing the massage, there is the Paris hotel and Eiffel tower experience which is $10.

Shopping at Caesars Forum shops - HA! Sky is the limit here. You can go for broke or window shop like me.

Lunch @ Serendipity - $25 ( $1,000 if you want that sundae)

Bellagio fountains and conservatory - Free

Tony and Tina's wedding - $89 (this is assuming we don't get ANY discount at all, but most likely we will so it should be less than that. Also keep in mind this includes dinner)

Drinks @ Peppermill - Again I ask, how much can you drink? :rolleyes1


Wednesday
Breakfast in room - $0

Venetian hotel and gondolas - $16 to ride

Earl of Sandwich - $10-$12

Shopping - ??? Up to you.

Stripper 101 - With no discount at all, it will be around $50 but I'm sure we can find some sort of specials. I'll keep an eye out.

Dinner/drinks @ Dick's - $20-$25

Thunder from Down Under - Tickets run around $50 but I know we can find a discount somewhere for this.


Thursday
Breakfast in room $0

Swimming - Free

Disney outlet and Coach outlet shopping - This could get scary!!! :scared1: I don't wanna know how much y'all will spend here!

Lunch @ Town Square restaurants - $20

Rio/Voodoo lounge - I think the Witch Doctor drinks run around $12 and that's the cool one I wanted to order.

Fremont Street experience - Free, but bring a couple bucks for things like deep fried Oreos. lol

Olympic Garden - Around $40 for cover, drinks, and tips


Friday
Breakfast in room $0

This is a free day, but that doesn't mean it won't cost ya. Honestly, it's hard to say since we don't know for sure what we are doing this day. If we tour more hotels, that will be free. If we do the rides on top of the Stratosphere, those can be pricey.

Lunch - We haven't picked a place. It depends on what we end up doing. I imagine we'll keep it small since we have a big drag dinner to look forward to.

Dinner @ Lucky Chengs - Prices start at $40 so plan on at least that.


Saturday
Breakfast in room $0

Again this day is sort of play by ear, so it's hard to say. Maybe a drive out to Hoover Dam or Area 51 would be nice and not too expensive.

Dinner @ Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill - $25-$30

Harrah's Carnaval Court - live music, dueling pianos, and flare bartenders, Free


Sunday
Breakfast in room - $0
Time to go home.

[mommaU4]

Souvenirs and other shopping - ????

Drinks (at the bars, not restaurants) - ????

Hotel - ?????

Airfare - ????

Looks like I'll just be chilling by the pool. ;)

Just don't drink so much. :rolleyes1

;)

You cannot come all the way to Vegas (cause it's so far for you, I know) and just chill by the pool!! :sad2:

[Stacerita]

Beth - Do you really want to know how much I can drink?

[Queenbillabong]

And what are we doing for dinner on Thursday - dinner and drinks at the Rio???

[Stacerita]

:eek:

Looks like I'll just be chilling by the pool. ;)

Hey.....we can split some meals, have drinks in the room to start so we don't need to order so many when we are out, and don't get souviners. Makes it a lot less expensive. Plus, we can hit the grocery store and stock up on stuff for the room.

[Stacerita]

And what are we doing for dinner on Thursday - dinner and drinks at the Rio???

Since we are doing Fremont street that night, I would say we just grab something down there. Hotdogs and shrimp cocktails. If you got a buck, you're in luck.

[Queenbillabong]

We just had Ding fares through the end of May, so I'm hoping June comes up soon!!

But you're booked, right, just hoping for a bit of a refund???

:eek:

Looks like I'll just be chilling by the pool. ;)

Nuh uh. We can do sharesies for sure! I don't drink much at all, but I like to have a sip, so that should keep your drink costs down.

You cannot come all the way to Vegas (cause it's so far for you, I know) and just chill by the pool!! :sad2:

What she said :thumbsup2

Beth - Do you really want to know how much I can drink?

I do, I do!!!

Since we are doing Fremont street that night, I would say we just grab something down there. Hotdogs and shrimp cocktails. If you got a buck, you're in luck.

Cool! I have no idea what Fremont Street is, so I better get to researching!

[mommaU4]

Beth - Do you really want to know how much I can drink?
I don't think my brain can comprehend numbers and amounts that big. :eek:


And what are we doing for dinner on Thursday - dinner and drinks at the Rio???I didn't plan anything. I figured we'd play it by ear downtown at Fremont. Maybe do a junk food night with lots of fried goodies. :thumbsup2


Since we are doing Fremont street that night, I would say we just grab something down there. Hotdogs and shrimp cocktails. If you got a buck, you're in luck.
Yeah, what she said. lol

[wendylady36]

I can drink a lot too Stacie.

I wish food wasn't a necessity. If I could, I would go without eating, but I turn into a mega b-otch if I don't.

[mommaU4]

I can drink a lot too Stacie.

I wish food wasn't a necessity. If I could, I would go without eating, but I turn into a mega b-otch if I don't.
But I'm excited to try these places! I don't want to go without eating. But I agree with Theresa, we can share meals. That way we have room to share dessert. I am not going to Serendipity without trying a Frozen Hot Chocolate. :yay:

Are you doing the massage? If not, take $90 off that price because the $600 included that.
And I am hoping those show prices will drop. The Tony and Tina, and Thunder ones. I cannot imagine we won't get some sort of discount.

Look at the Chippendales show Stacie, Amy, Jane and I are going to. Those go for $50-something each. Then the locals special came up, then they were on sale at the radio show for around 6 bucks each!!!
You just never know. :thumbsup2

Exactly what I was going to say... definitely need some room supplies!!

But you're booked, right, just hoping for a bit of a refund???

Oh yes, I'm already booked, hoping it will go down $10-20 each way soon.

Nuh uh. We can do sharesies for sure! I don't drink much at all, but I like to have a sip, so that should keep your drink costs down.

Definitely sharesies!! As long as no one has cooties!! :scared1:

Cool! I have no idea what Fremont Street is, so I better get to researching!

What do you mean you don't know what Fremont Street is??? Yes, you better get researching!!

[Stacerita]

Its ghetto, but ghetto-fabulous!

Oh hush!

Frozen Hot Chololate sounds interesting.

I am cootie free.

Update on Love:

These are the people who I have gotten a PM confirming they want to get tickets for Love:
Cheryl, Theresa, Stacie, Donna, Amy, Wendy, Jane, and me.

Debbie PM'd me about the price and Dawn PM'd me that she isn't going. That accounts for everyone on the list. Debbie, let me know ASAP if you are in.

Ok, I am sending you a PM.
I am in for Love.

We just had Ding fares through the end of May, so I'm hoping June comes up soon!!
I am waiting too!!

Beth - Do you really want to know how much I can drink?


Ummm..I know what you mean...


I don't mind sharing either, I waste A LOT of food. I am even cool with Apps & drinks.

[CaliforniaDreamer]

We just had Ding fares through the end of May, so I'm hoping June comes up soon!!

Can someone explain how ding fares work please?

But you're booked, right, just hoping for a bit of a refund???

Nuh uh. We can do sharesies for sure! I don't drink much at all, but I like to have a sip, so that should keep your drink costs down.

!

I'm definitely good with sharing a drink - I don't drink a lot. Just know that some places have drink minimums - esp if there is entertainment.

But I'm excited to try these places! I don't want to go without eating. But I agree with Theresa, we can share meals. That way we have room to share dessert. I am not going to Serendipity without trying a Frozen Hot Chocolate. :yay:

You just never know. :thumbsup2

I also want to try these places, Beth. You've picked some fun ones.



Frozen Hot Chololate sounds interesting.
.

I've had it in NY - it's different and in the summer heat, anything frozen will be heaven.

Ok, I am sending you a PM.
I am in for Love.

I don't mind sharing either, I waste A LOT of food. I am even cool with Apps & drinks.

Yea, Debbie's in!

Apps are fun but they are usually high calorie (fried) - so I would like the option of real food. And often drinks and apps end up costing more than a meal. I like the schedule Beth's worked out!

So everyone still wants to wait til June for this? I know some have made ressies but I don't know if and what the penalties are. If we go sooner we'll have beat the heat, have plenty o' discounts (because it's before summer vacay) and we won't have to wait! (why delay gratification?):cool2:

I understand if everyone is locked in but wondered how many were really in that state?:confused3

[fairykin]

Hi Hi Everyone!

Let's hope today is a better day:goodvibes Yesterday one of our cooling units went out downstairs and we had to have a crew of workmen come, then they said it had to be replaced and so they removed the old one then another crew came in the afternoon and didn't leave until 7:30!!! Why didn't the first guys put the new one in??:confused3 Our three little dogs were going crazy allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day... :headache: So now we have a new cooling unit on the ground floor.

Wednesday is my oldest granddaughters 7th birthday and everyone will come to my home to celebrate it:lovestruc it's going to be a hannah montanna birthday {she's going to get the bedside lamp, secret journal, dance mat and my mom bought her several special things when we were at disneyland on the girls trip, so she will get those now}.

Then thursday afternoon we are driving to the lakehouse up in the texas hill country to join with my husbands parents and celebrate my father in law's 78th birthday. He wants a bananna nut cake.. but with what kind of frosting?? i found caramel and chocolate and peanut butter?? we will see.:rotfl:

What the heck, do you live in a palace??

I hope today is better goes better.

Have fun at the lake house. Ummm...do you need another daughter? Niece? Cousin?

Banana nut cake sounds interesting.

[fairykin]

DebbieLouWho...BIG HUGS.. missed ya much!
:rotfl: well of course, allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll princesses live in palaces...i just wish mine was by the sea.

Oh yes i've already adopted you and your sister wendylouwho as family!:hug:

Air units in the desert run differently than those where there is high volumes of humidity. Ours run on the lack of humidy, they produce great savings on light bills. Maybe Beth and Stacielee have these kinds of cooling units?:confused3 We have 3 within our home. Thank Goodness we've replaced them all now, our home is over 30 years old.:goodvibes

I was looking at the exchange board.. and i saw where you did the snack exchange.. that sounded like alot of fun! :idea: We should do some things like that within the girl's only trip group. To kinda let people get to know others within the group.

Oh by the way, i've never made a bananna nut cake, heck i hadn't even heard of one til my father in law said he wanted one for his birthday cake!! *eeK*... let's hope this turns out.. i would feel reaLLy bad making a suckeY birthday cake. hhmmm.. now i'm worried.

[jordansmomma]

:hug: aww...Dawn.
I live in the desert. It gets hotter than well ya know here starting in May.
I love the warmth, but man oh man...it gets quite warm around here.

I love older houses. I would really love to live in the south & have an old victorian house.

The exchanges are a lot of fun!! I use to do them all of the time, but I just get so busy, the post office is horrible here. Its always, always busy!!

Ok, so I have never heard of a banana nut cake either. Have you checked out any recipes? I bet Paula Deen has one.

[mommaU4]

Its ghetto, but ghetto-fabulous!

Not everywhere. Some parts are just ghetto-scary-as-hell!! :scared1:
Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of downtown? :snooty: :rotfl: But it's still a must see, at least once.




So everyone still wants to wait til June for this? It's going to be lovely here today. High of 74, little overcast. Perfect weather for walking the Strip. Come on down today!! :banana: ;)

For DING fares you need to go to Southwest and sign up. It's a program you download to your computer. You select which airports you are interested in, then when DINGs pop up for those airports, it notifies you.
Some have strict restrictions, but you can get really good deals that way.



He wants a bananna nut cake.. but with what kind of frosting?? i found caramel and chocolate and peanut butter?? we will see.:rotfl:I like cream cheese on my banana bread, so maybe a homemade cream cheese frosting would be good on the cake. :confused3






I was looking at the exchange board.. and i saw where you did the snack exchange.. that sounded like alot of fun! :idea: We should do some things like that within the girl's only trip group. To kinda let people get to know others within the group.
I used to hang out at the exchange board all the time! OMG, at one point I was in 7 different exchanges at once. In fact, I hosted several of them. I've hosted a Princess exchange, a flip flop exchange, a candy exchange, a stationery exchange, and I started the snack exchange like two years ago. I got Stacielee and a few of the other ladies started on them.

They are fun, but it got to be too much for me so I'm on hiatus right now. Or rather my wallet is. :rotfl:

When I lived in MI and was hanging out online with the WDW ladies group, I hosted several exchanges for our group then too. (I hosted a Valentine's Day exchange, a beach towel exchange, a summer exchange, a Halloween exchange, etc)
The most popular one I hosted was the Christmas stocking exchange. Everyone loved that.
And I was already planning that if we don't do the Christmas theme for the Meet and Greet, that I was going to organize a stocking exchange for our group this November! :yay: Just for those who are interested and who celebrate Christmas. :santa:





The exchanges are a lot of fun!! I use to do them all of the time, but I just get so busy, the post office is horrible here. Its always, always busy!!

They are fun, but the are addicting. And I always spend more than the minimum so it was costing me too much money. I had to stop if I wanted to remain happily married. LOL
And sometimes you send a really nice one out, and I hate to say this but, you get a crappy one in return. :sad2: That's why I liked doing the exchanges within our group of ladies because you knew you'd get something nice back.

[jordansmomma]

Freemont Experience fun. Binnions has a great late night steak deal. The concerts are great, if there happens to be someone there, if not the music they play is nice also.

Sadly, that is true. One of the ladies she is from Washington, she always sends the best stuff!! She goes above and beyond!! I always loved getting a box from her. :woohoo:

I have done the sock exchange (I love cute socks), flip flops, alphabet, snack, valentine, summer, and a few others.

hmm...maybe a summer exchange would be fun?

You're talking about Nancy. (Meriweather) She is so nice. We used to PM a lot and I actually had lunch with her at the Cheesecake Factory when she was in Vegas on vacation. She paid, that's how sweet she is! And her exchanges always rock, she sends the best stuff.
I don't know if you read my post to Callie, but she's the one I mentioned built a house in AZ to be closer to her kids who live there, but now is stuck in WA because her house there won't sell. So frustrating.
I've invited her on our next ladies trip, so maybe she'll join us.

I thought about doing a summer exchange and I almost suggested it before talk about the expenses for the trip came up. :scared1: LOL I kept quiet after that because I just figured at this point everyone would need to be saving their money for Vegas. :rotfl:
But it's up to y'all. I'm up for one if everyone else is. For a summer exchange it would be a $20 minimum, not including shipping and handling.

[fairykin]

Deb... this will sound like a dumbunny but it's true.. i didn't know washington had a desert. It gets SoooooooooooooooOOOoooooo hot in el paso... that we often will just go up to the mountains for the weekend to get a reprieve.

Ahhh... i know just what you are talking about Beth.. i do the same thing.. it's so FUN to make the exchange that when you get yours it's anticlimatic. It's good to do exchanges with a group of girls you know will be committed. Like us... we all need to be CoMMiTTeD!:rotfl:

The flip flop one sounds interesting.

Maybe we can do a series of exchanges on the girls only thread.. one around the 4th of July... one for halloween... and one for christmas.

It wouldn't be mandatory to participate.. and it would be open only to girl's only trippers. And afterall we have Beth who is a Pro at this.
hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm.... :confused3 what do you think? It might futher a sense of community amongst the group.:goodvibes

[mommaU4]

Deb... this will sound like a dumbunny but it's true.. i didn't know washington had a desert.

Me either! I thought is was cool there all the time. LOL


Ahhh... i know just what you are talking about Beth.. i do the same thing.. it's so FUN to make the exchange that when you get yours it's anticlimatic. It's good to do exchanges with a group of girls you know will be committed. Like us... we all need to be CoMMiTTeD!:rotfl:

Yeah, that's why I stopped. I mean, I'm not trying to sound witchy or spoiled but when I spent $30 on an exchange for someone I don't know, and get one back that doesn't even look like they spent the minimum amount, that sucks.

The flip flop one sounds interesting.

The flip flop one was so fun. I started that one back when I lived in Michigan. I asked Patsy (mommytotwo) and Nancy (Meriweather) since they are pretty much in charge of the exchange board if I could host one and they said sure, no one else had done that before.
It was neat and we got lots of kids involved too.

You know I'd be up for a Halloween one! And the Christmas I was already thinking of doing.
The only thing is if people will want to do a summer one because of summer trips they might be saving for. :confused3

It's definitely not mandatory. Each exchange takes about a month so we will start them ahead of time. It's a week for sign up, a week to shop and mail, and then it takes about 2-3 weeks for all exchanges to arrive. So about a month to complete one exchange.
That's why for a Halloween one for example, you would start sign ups end of September at least. Which is fine since holiday decorations are always out so early in the stores.

[fairykin]

My vegas trip is going to be laid back and chill and not expensive. We will have just been at disneyland like the week before with my mom and nephew. I'm happy just to go and relax, visit with friends and have yummy food and drinks.:goodvibes

I'd be up for a summer exchange!:yay:
Tell us about the flip flop exchange!

Yes, it is Nancy, she seems like such a nice lady. My first exchange came from her. I think my kids loved the stuff almost as much as I did.

I would be up for an exchange.

Deb... this will sound like a dumbunny but it's true.. i didn't know washington had a desert. It gets SoooooooooooooooOOOoooooo hot in el paso... that we often will just go up to the mountains for the weekend to get a reprieve.

Yes, there is a desert, I like smack dab in the middle of it. Hotter than HE** in the summer months & colder than Alaska in the winter. Its crazy around here. Infact I heard that it snowed last night over by Capri. In Quincy, its like 20 minutes away it snowed there also. It was so COLD here last night & windy. It made baseball so horrible. But Jordan pitched his game wonderfully!!

OOOHHH.....a halloween exchange would be so fun!!
I love exchanges, they are so fun! I love getting home & getting a box of goodies.

[fairykin]

Me too! I always make something like i would love to get! But then again.. i have alot of time. You know what i mean:confused3

I have done one private exchange on the Disboard with the sweetest girl. We did it right before our trips at Christmas and it was so special.. she really was thoughtful.

[mommaU4]

What are y'all planning to do while you are here? That's the nice thing about Vegas, you can totally tailor your trip to suit your needs. However, since we have some Vegas virgins in our midst, no way am I letting them off the hook. :rolleyes1
They are getting the full Vegas experience. At least this time, they can chill next time. :rotfl2:



The flip flop exchange I did was open to everyone (men, woman, children). It was a $12 minimum exchange. That doesn't include shipping and handling. None of them do. That is always an extra expense that you take on. Also many people include little freebies or extras, those are also not included in the minimum price.

For $12 it was up to you what you sent. Either one pair totaling that amount, or I bought some cute ones to send from Payless that were BOGO so I was able to send two pair. Plus I was sending to a kid which is usually cheaper.

When each person signs up I had them include their shoe size and style preference, gender, age, as well as address, etc. Also do they want a high heel, something with a decoration, a certain color, a certain character for kids, soft strap or plastic strap, etc.
I always remind people though that those are just requests and ultimately it's up to your sender to choose what to send, so if you are someone who is picky about flip flops, and can only wear certain styles I'd recommend they think twice about signing up.

It went really well. I think that's one of the ones of mine that Stacielee did.

Tell us about the flip flop exchange!

Vegas is going to fun. But I am not going over board since, I am going to Maryland for a wk in August, with many side trips, Disneyland in October for a wk (that will be cheap, most of our meals will be at the time share), hopefully if I can get the time off the first wk of December.

I would be up for an exchange.


Let me PM Mary Jo and see where she thinks the best place to post this would be. I do not want to post it on the regular exchange board because we want to keep it just us.

When I did the WDW ladies exchanges, we started new threads for each exchange on the DIS Meets board as that's where our trip planning thread was back then, and none of the mods ever said anything to me about having exchange threads on a Meets board. I made it clear in each thread title that it was an exchange for the WDW ladies only trip members and we never once had anyone else try to join in. It worked out perfect.

So I'll ask her if I should post it on the DL planning section where our thread is now, on the new DL community board, or if we should just keep in within our thread. The last one is my least favorite choice because it will get lost, but we'll see.

I'll PM her now.

You posted you're doing Love though right? I think that's the big ticket item, but well worth it.

The rest is mainly shopping, food and drinks, which can all be tailored to each person.
Meaning you can spend as little or as much as you want on that.

I'm confident we will get discounts for those other shows so I'm not worried about that cost at all. Just make sure you've got plenty of ones handy for the OG! :banana:

[fairykin]

Oooohh the flip flop exchange sounds super fun!!
Yeah Yeah.. i never stick to the budget.. we should do an exchange together since we do the same thing!!!:rotfl:

Paula has had a rough year.. her mother has breast cancer and it's Paula who takes her mom back and forth to the Doctors. She also is the only parent to a very sweet teenager daughter. Right before christmas she was laid off for 3 months and she's now signed a contract that is being renewed monthly. We are going to sleep late.. stay up later... sit and have drinks and talk... and order room service to have while we watch movies we haven't gotten to see at the theater.

I understand about the first time you wanna do everything and see everything.. vegas is really pretty at night! And there is just so much to do..everyone will have a great time...especially with such great tour guides!:hug:

I am going to Love. I will share food with my sister Wendy or whoomever.
My only real splurge maybe a new COACH purse from the outlet. I have paid full price & outlet price, I prefer outlet prices. :thumbsup2
The other shopping, meh...I can go to Bellvue Sq. so I will be window shopping.

Are we going to Madame Toussands? (or however you spell it)

Wow, that does sound rough. It's nice you'll have this trip together to just hang out, catch up and spend time with each other. Sounds like she could really use a break.





Are we going to Madame Toussands? (or however you spell it)

We can! :yay: It's not on the schedule but Friday and Saturday are pretty much free days. So we can see how things are by the end of the week, how people are doing money-wise, and decide from there.
That's one place you can usually get discount tickets to from the booths on the Strip. :thumbsup2

[mommaU4]

Another thing to keep in mind is I get emails daily from a website that offers free show tickets to locals.
So far today for example, I've gotten emails offering me free tickets to the Nathan Burton magic show, The Sopranos Last Supper dinner show, and The Mentalist. None of them are exactly top rated shows, but they are free. LOL

We actually got 6 tickets to see Nathan Burton and the whole family went not that long ago. It was pretty good.

So if for some reason Tony and Tina's or Lucky Cheng's doesn't work out, maybe we can do something else cheaper or even free. Just an option. The emails and shows change all the time so you never know what's going to be offered.

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Morning, Debbie, Dawn, Beth and anyone who just jumped on!

Not everywhere. Some parts are just ghetto-scary-as-hell!! :scared1:
Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of downtown? :snooty: :rotfl: But it's still a must see, at least once.

It's going to be lovely here today. High of 74, little overcast. Perfect weather for walking the Strip. Come on down today!! :banana: ;)

For DING fares you need to go to Southwest and sign up. It's a program you download to your computer. You select which airports you are interested in, then when DINGs pop up for those airports, it notifies you.
Some have strict restrictions, but you can get really good deals that way.

I like cream cheese on my banana bread, so maybe a homemade cream cheese frosting would be good on the cake. :confused3

The most popular one I hosted was the Christmas stocking exchange. Everyone loved that.
And I was already planning that if we don't do the Christmas theme for the Meet and Greet, that I was going to organize a stocking exchange for our group this November! :yay: Just for those who are interested and who celebrate Christmas. :santa:

And sometimes you send a really nice one out, and I hate to say this but, you get a crappy one in return. :sad2: That's why I liked doing the exchanges within our group of ladies because you knew you'd get something nice back.

That was what impressed me with our tote exchange. Every tote was good, made with love or nicely chosen. I went over the budget too but didn't think everyone would. I was amazed. I think a Christmas stocking exchange in Nov is a terrific idea.

Yup, 74 degrees, that sounds like travel weather!!

Oooohh the flip flop exchange sounds super fun!!

Beth, how can they afford to give away free tickets to these shows? Do they make it up in drinks?

[stacielee]

Air units in the desert run differently than those where there is high volumes of humidity. Ours run on the lack of humidy, they produce great savings on light bills. Maybe Beth and Stacielee have these kinds of cooling units?:confused3 We have 3 within our home. Thank Goodness we've replaced them all now, our home is over 30 years old.:goodvibes

We used to have an evap unit at one of our old houses, would love to have it here, but it's pretty expensive to have it retrofitted.

[Queenbillabong]

I :lovestruc exchanges too!!! But I do have three issues:

1. Unfortunately, I have gotten some crap when I spend a lot of time, money, and effort in my exchanges :sad1: (I did the flip-flop exchange once because I LOVE flip-flops. I ordered a really cool pair of sparkly Baby Phat ones to be sent to my buddy and got three pairs of dollar store flip-flops in return. Seriously, they had paper thin bottoms and were just not nice). I was very sad.

2. I live in Canada and the shipping here is not nice for whoever sends me a gift :sad2: That's why I usually end up sending my stuff overseas to England or Scotland. There are some really nice DIS ladies who live in the UK and they GET how to do a good exchange too :thumbsup2

3. Sometimes your buddy who you send an exchange to flakes off and you never hear back and they don't send out their exchange (which is really not nice!!!).

Not all exchanges are bad, but I would certainly be in for exchanging with you guys, whatever, whenever!!! I just took part in the snack exchange and the candy exchange - both were :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[stacielee]

Okay, so Debbie is in it for Love!! So we have 9 of us; I'll call and see what I can find out about the tickets. If I can get them now at the discount , I'll do it. Beth, can you post the link again for the discount, and remind me where I should look for tickets? Thanks!!

[Queenbillabong]

I just got an email. The Love tickets are on sale for the month of June as well. :thumbsup2
Not the 40% off locals deal unfortunately, but they are 25% off which is better than nothing.
http://mirage-cds.admission.com/adm/LOVE_25.htm

So the category 2 seats, normally running $137.50 are going for $103.13. Those are the ones I'd pick.
And interestingly enough, most of the better category 2 seats are going fast, where as category 1 still has plenty left. I think people are realizing being close to the stage isn't the best thing for this show, and that the closer category 2 seats will probably sell out first. So what's left will be either really close or really far.

I guess now you all need to decide if:

1. You are ready to buy them now or do you wait for a different deal?

2. If you get them now, are you going for 10 seats all in a row, or two rows of 5 and 5 with one in front of the other?

3. Who's got enough moola available on a credit card to order 10 tickets at over 100 bucks a piece?

I think the phone number to call is on the link too, to make sure you can get the best category 2 seats :yay:

[fairykin]

Hi Stacielee.. Have a Grrrrrrrrrrrreat Day!:goodvibes

Donna.. Paula and I have been to vegas together many times, she's alot of fun! :banana:

Theresa... Aawwww that's suckey! Sounds like we need to do a exchange together!:thumbsup2

That is how my first flip flop exchange was!! I bought really cute Teva flip flops & another pair. I ended up with paperthin ones. I gave them to my friends daughter. She loves shoes, so she was super happy.

I dunno some people are just different....

I know--I would be embarassed to send something cheap.

[mommaU4]

Beth, how can they afford to give away free tickets to these shows? Do they make it up in drinks?No, no drink purchase is required. They would rather give the seats away and have it be a full house, then half the theater empty.
Then those who did pay to see it, are going to say how no one was in the audience. Their hope is that if they give the tickets away that we'll like the show and as locals recommend it to friends and family when the visit.



I :lovestruc exchanges too!!! But I do have three issues:

Not all exchanges are bad, but I would certainly be in for exchanging with you guys, whatever, whenever!!! I just took part in the snack exchange and the candy exchange - both were :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2Those were my issues to which is why I stopped. I couldn't keep spending tons of money on strangers and getting junk back in return. I'd totally do it with friends though.

But if we do it, we will have to set some boundaries. LOL I still don't want to see anyone spending 60 bucks on one person and the others feeling left out, or as if their packages didn't measure up, kwim?
If that happens, no one will want to do it.

I had several ladies PM me before the trip worried that their totes weren't going to be good enough, or they didn't put enough goodies in there, etc. and that really takes all the fun out of it.



I think the phone number to call is on the link too, to make sure you can get the best category 2 seats :yay:
Thanks for posting that! :thumbsup2

[mommaU4]

I know--I would be embarassed to send something cheap.
Well, cheap dollar wise is good! LOL You can find good quality, cute items for exchanges that are cheap but are still things people would like to own. I just think some people do not take the time to look. :confused3

And I hate it when people on the Exchange board would sign up and not send!! :mad: I had that happen a few times, and then as the host you either have to find a volunteer (called an elf) to send out to that person who didn't get anything, or you have to do it yourself.
I had to send out a few extra packages like that and it was not cheap. That's another reason I stopped doing it.

Let me clarify--I would be embarassed to send something that LOOKED cheap! I'm all for getting the most for my $$ too!

[Stacerita]

What the heck, do you live in a palace??


I was gonna ask the same thing. Then ask if I can come stay with her.

Not everywhere. Some parts are just ghetto-scary-as-hell!! :scared1:
Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of downtown? :snooty: :rotfl: But it's still a must see, at least once.

Downtown isn't for everyone. Something you got to see for yourself though. I used to stay at the Plaza all the time. Even before the Fremont Street Experience was there.

I like cream cheese on my banana bread, so maybe a homemade cream cheese frosting would be good on the cake. :confused3

I could slather cream cheese frosting on just about anything.


I used to hang out at the exchange board all the time! OMG, at one point I was in 7 different exchanges at once. In fact, I hosted several of them. I've hosted a Princess exchange, a flip flop exchange, a candy exchange, a stationery exchange, and I started the snack exchange like two years ago. I got Stacielee and a few of the other ladies started on them.

They are fun, but it got to be too much for me so I'm on hiatus right now. Or rather my wallet is. :rotfl:

When I lived in MI and was hanging out online with the WDW ladies group, I hosted several exchanges for our group then too. (I hosted a Valentine's Day exchange, a beach towel exchange, a summer exchange, a Halloween exchange, etc)
The most popular one I hosted was the Christmas stocking exchange. Everyone loved that.
And I was already planning that if we don't do the Christmas theme for the Meet and Greet, that I was going to organize a stocking exchange for our group this November! :yay: Just for those who are interested and who celebrate Christmas. :santa:




They are fun, but the are addicting. And I always spend more than the minimum so it was costing me too much money. I had to stop if I wanted to remain happily married. LOL
And sometimes you send a really nice one out, and I hate to say this but, you get a crappy one in return. :sad2: That's why I liked doing the exchanges within our group of ladies because you knew you'd get something nice back.

The idea of exchanges are great. If you get a person who participates responsibly.

I am going to Love. I will share food with my sister Wendy or whoomever.
My only real splurge maybe a new COACH purse from the outlet. I have paid full price & outlet price, I prefer outlet prices. :thumbsup2
The other shopping, meh...I can go to Bellvue Sq. so I will be window shopping.

Are we going to Madame Toussands? (or however you spell it)


That might be fun. If we can fit it in, I wouldn't mind going.

I would totally be up to changing plans if we can get cheap/free tickets for something else.

I know--I would be embarassed to send something cheap.

Exactly. I wouldn't want to send anything that I wouldn't want to get in return.


I would be up for an exchange.

[stacielee]

I called the Mirage and this is what I found out:

The first/best row for a Cat 2 ticket is Row P; we are getting Row R, which is just behind P (there's no Q). She also sald that Section 204 is a good section to see everything from. And the 25% discount is only available online, I can't call and get it. But she said if the 40% discount comes up for June, we can re-book and get refunded the difference. So we're looking at Section 204, Row R, seats 6-14, $103.13 + $5 service fee, $108.13 each.

Here's a link to the seating map: http://mirage-cds.admission.com/html/seatmap.htmI?l=EN&CNTX=71805&C=US

I would be up for an exchange.

Woohoo Stacie is in!!

[fairykin]

Wow Beth.. i didn't know all about that with the elfs.. that's why if i want to do a exchange i just pm and say heyyyyyy let's do a exchange!:rotfl:

Maybe the girls only group is too big to do an exchange in?:confused3

what is Stacie in for? (I'm lost)

[jordansmomma]

that's fine with me!

The wax museum, Madame Tussaunds. or something like that.

I would totally be up to changing plans if we can get cheap/free tickets for something else.
Well, why don't we keep Thursday night and Friday night free then and not book or reserve anything? We can still look for Tony and Tina's Wedding tickets as I think that's a great group show, but we'll look for them that week at a discount.
And then on Friday we can just see what is offered on the Strip discount booths, and/or in my emails. Sound good? :confused3

Oh no, not at all. I've done them with over 30 people before. And Nancy and Patsy on the Exchange board will get way more then that for the more popular ones.

We won't need any elves for our exchanges I'm sure. I cannot imagine any of the ladies signing up and not sending.

[Stacerita]

that's fine with me!

I'm in for fun ;)

I hope everyone is having a great day! :hug: :goodvibes

Hey... Just throwing this out there.. but have You all thought about having lunch at 9 Fine Irishmen instead of the italian resturant at new york new york?:confused3 9 Fine Irishmen is Fun and has some yummy nibbly bits reasonably priced, plus it's Fun!:yay:Doesn't matter to me. I haven't eaten anywhere in NY NY, so it doesn't matter. Stacie ate at Il Fornaio last time she was there and said it was really good, with yummy drinks. That's how we ended up there.

This is the menu at Nine Fine Irishmen: http://www.nynyhotelcasino.com/files/menu_nfi_2009.pdf

And for Il Fornaio: http://www.ilfornaio.com/?page=140&id=137&restaurant_id=3163

The menu at Nine Fine Irishmen is a little bit foreign to me. LOL I know what pasta is, I don't know what a banger is. :rolleyes1 :rotfl2:
BUT I am easy and whatever the group wants, I will follow. :goodvibes





But I need to make it fast. Deadliest Catch starts tonight!!Hey, you beat me to it! I was going to post that the new season starts tonight. I saw your tag, but wasn't sure if you were still into it.

We watch all the Discover stuff. Ice Road Truckers, Dirty Jobs, etc.

Oh, and dinner for me will probably be a Lean Cuisine. YAY!!

Not. :rolleyes:



Everything sounds good to me. I'm a bit lost right now - but point me in the right direction and I'm good to go :woohoo:Stick with me kid, you'll be fine. Remember you can trust me. ;) :rolleyes1


:rotfl:

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Wow Beth.. i didn't know all about that with the elfs.. that's why if i want to do a exchange i just pm and say heyyyyyy let's do a exchange!:rotfl:

Maybe the girls only group is too big to do an exchange in?:confused3

For me, yes. I would rather do it with our Vegas group. Just my 2c.

:thumbsup2

Well, why don't we keep Thursday night and Friday night free then and not book or reserve anything? We can still look for Tony and Tina's Wedding tickets as I think that's a great group show, but we'll look for them that week at a discount.
And then on Friday we can just see what is offered on the Strip discount booths, and/or in my emails. Sound good? :confused3

Section 204 was one of the sections I suggested as well. I'd go for it.

Sounds good, Beth.

Yes, Stacie, I hope you're not waiting for all of us to approve. Thank you and let us know whether you want Paypal or check or money order.

Doesn't matter to me. I haven't eaten anywhere in NY NY, so it doesn't matter. Stacie ate at Il Fornaio last time she was there and said it was really good, with yummy drinks. That's how we ended up there.

:rotfl:

I will eat at whichever place the group prefers too but would probably pick the Irish place over the Italian. (bangers are sausages) ;) I think this is the same Il Fornaio chain we have in SoCal. Also like the idea of a view as the Irish place says from the website:

"Live free. Dine Well. Drink good beer. Inspired by a group of extraordinary Irishmen who led lives of great adventure, this is a pub of epic proportions starring a grand Victorian-style bar, ornate cottage areas, shop-style snugs, and two levels of outdoor patio dining with a spectacular Las Vegas Strip view. As for food and drink, our chef feverishly worked to create tempting signature dishes made of only the freshest, natural Irish ingredients. Pair these with the finest stouts, ales, lagers, spirits, music, and entertainment by special guest artists and you've got yourself a little piece of the Emerald Isle in the heart of Las Vegas!"

[cheshiregirl]

I'd put cream cheese frosting on everything too!

The exchange sounds like fun. :thumbsup2

Thanks for the info Stacie, those seats sound good to me, I'm all in! :woohoo:

I hope everyone is having a great day! :hug: :goodvibes

Ditto to everything she said...:yay::yay::yay:

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Guess where else I found the Rosa today? At Trader Joe's. I don't know if this SoCal chain is only in California... or whether it's throughout the west now. It's a grocery store unlike any other, on the smaller side, with great bargains and many items that are their own brand.

They have a big liquor dept and they had the standard size bottles for $17.99 plus about $1.60 tx.

Theresa, did you find a place to ship to Canada yet?

[mommaU4]

I will eat at whichever place the group prefers too but would probably pick the Irish place over the Italian. (bangers are sausages) ;) I know! :idea: Maybe we can do both places. They are both in NY NY. I just don't think there is much on the Irish menu I'd eat. I don't eat pork and I think most sausage is made with that. Not sure if bangers are. :confused3

Or if everyone is down with the Irish men, I totally don't mind grabbing something from the food court while y'all are in there, and catching up with you later. I'm fine with that. In fact, I'd rather do that, than keep anyone from eating where they really want because of my picky taste in food. kwim?

Oh, and about the exchange it's no problem to do it with a large group. I've done it lots of time. No worries! In fact, it's more fun that way. :dance3: I love reading about all the different packages everyone receives. :goodvibes

We have Trader Joes here. I was there just last weekend. We love their kettle corn popcorn. popcorn::

[mommaU4]

Speaking of the exchanges, I heard from Mary Jo and she said it's fine to post the exchange thread on the new DL community board, and then just state that it's open to all members (new and old) of the ladies trips. :banana:

So we can start off with a "Fun in the Summer Sun" theme anytime y'all are ready. If we start sign ups now, then packages will arrive in mid May just in time for most schools to be out. :thumbsup2

I'm good with wherever - I've never been to either, so it's all good and whatever the majority wants, I'm in. Beth, I did see there was mac and cheese and some other things at the Irish pub too (and beer and cheese dip :lovestruc).

Beth, did you see if that Trader Joe's has Rosa Regale? Maybe when we pick up stuff for the hotel, we can go there and get a bottle (or two, or three ;)) with our other "necessities".

Nope, at the time I didn't think to look there. But it's not far from here so I will check next time we go. I've got three place to check; Trader Joes, Costco, and a place called Lee's Discount Liquor. Not sure when I'll be able to get to all those places, but once I do, I'll post what I find. :thumbsup2

Hey Dawn!!! How ya doing????? I'm excited to do an exchange. It's not very summery here yet, but hopefully soon! The pool is looking good (a little too cold still :eek:). Jesse desperately wanted to go swimming on the weekend, but I think he would have got hypothermia if he tried (he even got into his swimsuit and got his flippers and snorkle ready to go - dipped in his toe and ran for the hills :lmao:). He's funny!

[Queenbillabong]

so--what would be in a Fun in the Summer Sun package????

I think if you got Stacielee that might include some kind of sun hat or visor - you know she would :lovestruc that ;)

[Stacerita]

Everything sounds good to me. I'm a bit lost right now - but point me in the right direction and I'm good to go :woohoo:


Just follow the rest of the pack and we all shall be fine.

[mommaU4]

Oh sure, it looks like lots of fun! I'm open to it. I mean, if I can't eat anything there, I can grab a drink and still visit with ya'll, or like I said, grab something elsewhere and meet up later.

Don't let my pickyness influence what the groups wants to do. ;)


so--what would be in a Fun in the Summer Sun package????
Well, think of summer and then send items like that. In the last summer themed one I did, I received a beach towel, beach ball, flip flops, lemonade, some garden sticks, some ice cream toppings, and a summer Disney pin. It was fun.

[mommaU4]

Stripper boys :confused3
That works too. :rotfl:

[mommaU4]

I think I'll start the sign ups tomorrow morning. I'm too sleepy to do it tonight. lol I will post info and a link to it on the planning thread. :thumbsup2

I think going away by myself in March just opened up a whole new thing for me :thumbsup2 I told my hubby that he better get working because I have a LOT of trips coming up soon :rotfl2: Not bad for a person who never even stepped foot on a plane until I was 30 years old :eek: I'm making up for lost time and having fun!

I am so excited about going to Vegas. I have wanted to go for quite a while, but Frank is not really interested in going, so I just never went. He's travelled everywhere though - he's from Ghana and lived in Nigeria, Syria, Thailand, Taiwan - he's seriously been EVERYWHERE! We are so opposite, but I think that's why we work!

[fairykin]

I knew it would be empowering for You.. it was for me the first time I went off with my friends. I'm so glad i got to meet you and spend time with you that day:hug:

I understand what you mean about the difference working.. it's like that with my husband and i. Then again we are alike on levels people don't even realize.

Madame Troussousands.. {i'd blame the spelling on it being 11 at night but i'd probably misspell it in the daytime:rotfl2:} ... that is a fun place if you haven't ever been... some of the wax figures look *SO* real! That is a fun thing to do in vegas.

Wait til You see Ceasars Forum shops... really kewl shops..they also had a fun ride.. i don't know if it's still there.. it's a simulated ride..

Sweet Dreams Miss Theresa... i'm going to bed.. the twinikins will be here about 11 in the morning and then i have to get everything ready for Rosalyn's birthday party. Night Night, my Friend.

I love, love the wax museum!!

Theresa, I love to travel alone & just meet up with people.
I have friend Marcie I met her here on the DIS, she is my soul sister. I love that girl. We had never met until she went to Vegas last summer with me, my bff & her little sister. We had so much fun. Infact I only noticed her at the airport at first because of her luggage. :lmao: She had sent me the email of the luggage she was getting. We had so much fun in 4 days. I pretty much love Vegas. There is so much to do.

We have a wax museum in Victoria - it's cool, but kind of small. I would love to see the one in Vegas if we have time and energy :thumbsup2

That's great about the traveling and meeting up with friends. I had no idea if I would like it or not before March, but it was good (that's why I wanted to do Vegas - well, I wanted to join up before March, but I wanted to be sure first :rolleyes1). I did find out that I don't like packing my stuff (laptop) around by myself though :eek: Usually Jesse (yes, my son ;)) carries that for me. I may have to look into getting one of those really small ones!

Madame Tussauds is supposed to be really cool. What I like is they let you pose for fun pics with all the figures. For example, they have Hugh Hefner on a bed, and I think you can sit on the bed like you are hanging out in the Playboy Mansion with Hef. :laughing:

[mommaU4]

Morning Vegas gals! I'm still getting the twins ready for school. They are eating breakfast so I just wanted to pop on real quick. I will start the exchange when I get back from taking them. :)

Hey my mom is wanting a laptop... maybe i could get her that little one and put it up for christmas. Does anyone have that model that is $250?

Madame Troussaounds is fun .. they had a really kewl Bono a few years ago and He was kinda crouched down.. i stood between his thighs..and tilted my head .. the pic looked like Bono was whispering in my ear.. hahahahaha.. what a little nerd i am.. it was probably the closest i will ever come to Bono whispering in my ear. :rotfl:

Dawn: did you paint all of those paintings in the prior picture? I was really taken by them--especially the one in the middle and on the right--are those Madonnas?

I think of HOT Cabanana boys....





So, that would be combo cabana boys and monkeys?



We have a wax museum in Victoria - it's cool, but kind of small. I would love to see the one in Vegas if we have time and energy :thumbsup2

That's great about the traveling and meeting up with friends. I had no idea if I would like it or not before March, but it was good (that's why I wanted to do Vegas - well, I wanted to join up before March, but I wanted to be sure first :rolleyes1). I did find out that I don't like packing my stuff (laptop) around by myself though :eek: Usually Jesse (yes, my son ;)) carries that for me. I may have to look into getting one of those really small ones!

I saw today that dell has one for $250!!!





I love my Dell Mini 9 (unfortunately I paid more than $250 for it!):laughing:

[Queenbillabong]

Hey, what's that supposed to mean? http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/rolleye11.gif

I just heard that you :love: any kind of head gear :rotfl:

I love my Dell Mini 9 (unfortunately I paid more than $250 for it!):laughing:

I need to go take a look! I will probably pass along my HP to Jesse (he's so thrilled!)

Hey Girlie Girls... i hope your day is HaPpPY!
I've been getting things ready for my oldest granddaughters birthday party tonight.
Here's a pic of the table:lovestruc this wayyyyyy

That looks great, Dawn! Love your paintings. I am not very talented in an artsy way (never ask me to draw anything, it is NOT pretty!). Sometimes I like to believe I could do something crafty and give it a try, but nope, still the same :sad2: I have piles of beads and paints and other supplies....... Now typing and editing - stand back, this I can do!

[fairykin]

Hey Miss CheryL *BigHugs*
I painted 2 pieces on that wall.. the cross and madonna i showed...and the one on the right..the madonna and christ child... they are both spiritual abstractions. I never know what i am going to paint.. it just happens. I always think it comes through me, like i'm a vessel..rather than it comes from me.
The center picture along with the small one up in the upper right corner and the bottom small one are Gustav Klimts.. i love his art so very much, the use of patterns and color with passion.
I love Art **so** much. Going to museums is like eatting a meal, it just satiates and fills me! Guess You can tell I love art:rotfl2: My grandmother painted with me as a child and I love painting with my grandchildren.
I'll have to take a picture of a trinity i did.. they are oil and arcylic on very very very thick paper.. it's a trinity of woman.. Mind, Body and Spirit.
We will have to talk art sometime over wine, You have such great museums near You!:hug:

[fairykin]

Theresa.. Art is Everywhere in all aspects of life on every social and economic level. From ancient roman slums to goya's revolution to a fallen leaf and the house falling waters! Anything you create is art, be it to You, Someone You don't know or simply the universe.
I love the spirit of creation, it's vulnerable and strong.:thumbsup2

Now what's this about a $250 dell? hhhmmmm...

Hello ladies!

I haven't been responding much because I have been in the crappiest of crappy moods lately. I'm just super stressed about everything and I'd hate to get snippy at someone on the boards, so I refrain from posting. :angel:

Also, I've canceled going on this trip about three times already this week. :rolleyes: I know things will work out for me in the end, but it's just so hard to wait around and stress about it.

Biggest of hugs to everyone. :hug:

I need a drink! :rotfl2:

By the way, I'd never been on Facebook until Cristabel had me sign up. Once upon a time I had a MySpace page, but that was WAY TOO MUCH DRAMA for me. People were very hurtful and I didn't need people talking about on their pages. I still don't fully understand Facebook. :upsidedow I mainly just work on my farm on Farm Town...I'm sure my boss appreciates that. I'm sure she's wondering what I am doing when she walks by and sees a farm on my computer screen. :rotfl:

Hey farmers daughter, whats the farm???

[fairykin]

FaFiNkA.. is a good word.. it's a moment of surprise!
Like... One time my best friend and i were out on her birthday, she had a LiiiiiiiiiiiiTTLe too much to drink...and was dancing on the bar {Hey Hey, it was her birthday}
So she was danciN and i was hoPiN' she didn't fall off the bar.. when she went low and FaFiNkA her pants ripped:sad2:
Then there was great sadness afoot:lmao:

[Queenbillabong]

Hey girly girls!!! Happy Hump Day!

YES!! I am in need of a vacation!!

I think they do taste like dirt. They have been around in the low carb world for quite a while. I think they're made with some type of seaweed or something and you have to cook them just right. They do NOT like like that bowl of noodles the lady is eating in your link, Dawn! They are kind of see through and gelatinous :eek:

Infact I only noticed her at the airport at first because of her luggage. :lmao: She had sent me the email of the luggage she was getting. We had so much fun in 4 days. I pretty much love Vegas. There is so much to do.

Awww I love you too!!!!

Hi Hi Everyone!

Let's hope today is a better day:goodvibes Yesterday one of our cooling units went out downstairs and we had to have a crew of workmen come, then they said it had to be replaced and so they removed the old one then another crew came in the afternoon and didn't leave until 7:30!!! Why didn't the first guys put the new one in??:confused3 Our three little dogs were going crazy allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day... :headache: So now we have a new cooling unit on the ground floor.

Wednesday is my oldest granddaughters 7th birthday and everyone will come to my home to celebrate it:lovestruc it's going to be a hannah montanna birthday {she's going to get the bedside lamp, secret journal, dance mat and my mom bought her several special things when we were at disneyland on the girls trip, so she will get those now}.

Then thursday afternoon we are driving to the lakehouse up in the texas hill country to join with my husbands parents and celebrate my father in law's 78th birthday. He wants a bananna nut cake.. but with what kind of frosting?? i found caramel and chocolate and peanut butter?? we will see.:rotfl:

I'm going to a lakehouse in Texas Friday too

Well, it's getting late and I'm off to bed Vegas gals!

[Queenbillabong]

I called the Mirage and this is what I found out:

The first/best row for a Cat 2 ticket is Row P; we are getting Row R, which is just behind P (there's no Q). She also sald that Section 204 is a good section to see everything from. And the 25% discount is only available online, I can't call and get it. But she said if the 40% discount comes up for June, we can re-book and get refunded the difference. So we're looking at Section 204, Row R, seats 6-14, $103.13 + $5 service fee, $108.13 each.

Here's a link to the seating map: http://mirage-cds.admission.com/html/seatmap.htmI?l=EN&CNTX=71805&C=US


Hey Stacie - did we get those tickets???? If you posted and I mised it, sorry.

[stacielee]

We are going to Canyon Lake ..it's just in between austin and san antonio in the hill country.. Where are You going?

I'm all packed just waiting for DH to get home so we can get on the road.

Don't get too excited--with this ex you never know whether he will show up or not--or he might say he won't be there and show up--it was one of our (many) "issues" --LOL

We will have more slumber parties, I'm sure! Maybe next year YOU can do MouseAdventure.

Hey gals! I have some important information to share with you all...

Important Women's Health Issue:

Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
Do you suffer from shyness?
Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Margaritas.

Margaritas are the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions.

Margaritas can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of Margaritas almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had.

Stop hiding and start living, with Margaritas.

Margaritas may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Margaritas. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Side effects may include
Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration
Loss of motor control
Loss of clothing
Loss of money
Table dancing
Headache
Dehydration
Dry mouth
And a desire to sing Karaoke

WARNING: The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

WARNING: The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.

WARNING: The consumption of Margaritas may cause you to think you can sing.

WARNING: The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.

After careful research one has learned that red wine and champagne may be interchangeable with the product - Margarita.

Please pass this on to your wives and girlfriends. Don't let that inner shyness and low self esteem go untreated.

Try Margarita, little salt and lime
