Bunnies and mooses and groupies, Oh my!!! The Wilderness Lodge groupies thread. 4.0

Kat4, thanks for the consideration! Do I need to add a date?

I think it's safe to add Oct 3-10th BCV for us. Thanks Muushka! We'll be celebrating Mom's 82nd BD while we're down there!

Magical Kingdom's .png files were reported by google to be downloading malware. Disboards is blocking the URL for now - I checked and the ticker is still there on their site, but I disabled mine for now and have it in holding status in a .txt file on my desktop. Hopefully they'll be able to rectify the issue so we can put our tickers back on.

It looks like the site I got my ticker at is still ok if anyone wants to make a change.

My DD wants to be a history major in college. Would those books interest a 16 year old girl who loves history?

If she loves history then I think she'll enjoy the Shaara books. While there is quite a bit on the various battles, tactics and strategies these books also delve into the personalities of some of the key people such as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and British generals as well.

While the conversations in the books are fictitious, they are true to the personalities and motivations of the historical figures based on extensive research of their personal letters.

I found them to be outstanding books.

Muush...don't look now but I think we've solved the "evaporating beer" problem you've been having!

I think so. The people come to life, it makes them more personal, yet the books are lined with facts, but it doesnt make for boring reading.

What drew me in to history is finding out my ancestors participated in those wars. Then it draws you in on a more personal level. Made me want to find out why they participated, what urged them to leave their homes and go and fight. History is so much more than wars, but the wars are a huge part of what shaped us into what we are today.

Tell your 16 yr old that a huge history buff(and Disney nut) is so glad to hear that she wants to major in that field.

I usually respond with a reference to that being better than her spending time on Farmville!

Nice to see you back Maria. Hope your family crisis is working out okay.

Thanks Granny....my niece (who is pregnant), required an emergency hospital admission. She was released yesterday, but the doctors almost felt they needed to take the baby early over the weekend. So it was a bit of a scare for everyone since the baby's due date isn't until May 16.


Love the cat pic Muushka !

Thanks! I will let her see this so she can see what you both said. She got into history because of doing geneology and there is a manga that she likes that has to do with different countries. It really got her into wanting to learn more about history.

So I was there at the Lodge just 2 Fridays ago...and of course wish I could be back right now. But these will have to do for the time being...

Happy Friday Groupies!

**Sighs** Can't believe I'm not going to make it to the lodge this year. Thanks Stopher, definitely cheers up a dreary Friday in Philly.

Happy Birthday Horselover: Make it a good one.

Have a great vacation Dory, stay safe
