Girls Only Disneyland Trip ~ Old thread, link to new one in first post

[mechurchlady]

My grandmother's family had one as a pet in the mountains of Chihuahua. Their straight tusks can are what punctured my grandmother's hand as a kid. and they are like pigs in shape but are actually peccaries. Some people do eat them. They do run in herds and you never want to meet a herd unless you are locked in your car.

Oh, thank you for the photo! It reminds me a bit of a warthog I've seen in Africa. Do the javalinas hold their tails up when the run? (btw, warthogs are fairly harmless - I've walked by them, etc.)

I've never seen one run! Also, I don't think they have much of a tail. Usually, they are just strolling along in front of my living room window. They walk like pug's and english bulldog's do. They are kind of cute, but they stink, and I've heard bad stories about them. I wonder if they like bird seed though?

Donna - I still have your card, so I will e-mail you

Just got a delivery from Disneyshopping.com.

My launch T-shirt from d-23 came, the beige organic bandleader sketch one does have the launch date printed on the back as promised if you ordered it that day only. I recall it was sold out in most sizes when I ordered that evening. I saw these for sale in DL but maybe they required the membership card first?

The black d-23 one doesn't have the launch date on it - wasn't it supposed to? I wouldn't have bought it otherwise and may send it back.

The membership is on its way, they said, so we still wait to see what the mystery gift is going to be.

My t-shirt was ordered first thing on 3/10 and I'm supposed to get it Wednesday. I did get my card and the Plane Crazy pin. The Tink pin is also coming--I didn't order the other t-shirt. Would be fun to take it to WDW on Thursday!

I still can't add "friends" Grrrrrr.

 

[disney-super-mom]

He everyone!

Just got into Vegas. See you soon Beth!

Have a great time Jen and Beth!

Capri did you see that Gonzaga is in the Sweet 16??? I think on the news this morning that they said next year some of the games will be in Spokane.

I know, I'm soooooooo excited they made it to the Sweet 16!!!!

Wow, I hadn't heard about some of the games next year will be in Spokane.....that would be AWESOME! But, of course, it'll be even more impossible than it already is to get tickets - haha!

I know I posted this morning, but it never showed up.

Anyway, I'm thinking of you all and praying for many of you. Just wanted you to know that.

Thanks Callie.

In my next life I want to be a javalina--they're cute!!!!!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

D, I thought the black was suppose to have the date on it also. I remember looking at it, and thinking about it. It said that after that date, it would just have the website info on it. When you look online you see that. Is there absolutely nothing on the back of the shirt? I think I would call them and ask.

 

[Queenbillabong]

Yay - I just got my refund cheque from Hojo in the mail! That will be the start of my savings for next year's trip (I just have to figure out a way to bring the boys at a different time without taking them out of school.........) That plus the refund from the VIP tour will be a nice head start.....

Hey Callie, good to see you.

I need a money tree!

Plant one for me too, 'kay?

A Javalina is a wild pig. They can have a temper.

I forgot that not everyone here lives in the desert! The first time I saw one walk past the living room window, I thought..."That sure is an ugly dog!" It took a moment for it to register.

Oh my.

now i have a twitter question - anyone here twitter?

Sorry, no twittering here. lol

Good for you!!

I wonder if they ever credited my card...... I haven't received a statement yet.

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I haven't received a refund yet either. Stacie? Callie? Have you received your refund?

I almost forgot about it! I almost forgot about the VIP refund also. WooHoo! Money, money, money!

Beth, I'd bet you'd be a great Twitterer...

I added you, as a request so see if you can respond to that.

Am also waiting for the Tink pin. Did you order the organic or the black one? I had emailed Disney because it didn'T say in my order confirmation email that it would have the date. She reassured me they would. One did, one didn't and I'll get there's nothing they do can about it now.

Def fun to take your new T to WDW.

Great on the refund!!

Afternoon all. Well it has been yet another crazy day. I went in to work and I left a message for the detective but just like I figured they DON'T give a rip. I got NO call back and honestly don't expect to. I told Lynn a long time ago I hope NOTHING ever happens to her on one of her little jaunts because if it DOES NO ONE is going to look for her or help her because the police DON'T care!! I feel awful for that ONE girl out there that DOES get raped or murerdered because the police assume that ALL kids are runaways and will eventually come home. It is TRULY sad. I wanted to tell them what we found out and they don't even have the decency to return my calls.

The high school said she is no longer allowed back. She will now have to go to continuation IF and when she chooses to return. She has REALLY done a number on herself. She just keeps sitting on the computer all day. I would LOVE to know who is supporting her with NOTHING in return. Oh well I guess we will figure it out eventually.

But anyway there is nothing I can do but just wait and take care of the kids I have. Tomorrow I go see my psychiatrist and I am going to find out about family therapy for the girls and for us. I also took a picture of her to the girls school and told them I don't want her coming near them. So I guess that is all I can do for now.

Also the REALLY upsetting news of all is I found out that one of the familes on the plane crash in Montana is a family friend!

They released the names and the Ching family is the son of friends of my parents. We have known them for YEARS. The parents Bob and Phyllis were good friends of my parents and the dad Bob is an orthopedic surgeon and I know at least one son is also a surgeon and Brent, the son that was killed was a Dentist in Chico. They had two small children 5 and 3 and the wife was pregnant. I am SO devestated. I feel just AWFUL. When I read the names I just KNEW it was them and then did a search and saw a picture of Brent and Kristen and it made me sick to my stomach. Brent, Brian and their younger brother are all around my age and I used to play with them when I was a kid. I don't know if they will have a public funeral or not but I am just sick about this.

I know that the parents are still up in Montana but I told my dad I don't know if he should try to call or just send a card or wait to hear or what. I am just in shock really.

So so sad. I keep thinking about their family having to go in their empty house and just everything. And those babies. 3 and 5 and their grandparents losing their son, daughter in law and their grandkids. I am just so sad right now.

I only got the organic one--I think.

Oh Kelly that is awful about the plane crash! I always worry because my BFF is a private pilot and everytime I hear about a local crash I call her just to make sure she's ok. How devastating for the family!

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Kelly, I am so sorry to hear about your friends in the plane crash. What a sad loss.

 

[Stacerita]

Hottie city!
Looks a bit like Michael Madison (I think that was his name) when he first hit the scene. I think he was in Res Dogs. Does your bro ever get that comment?

I don't think so. Jokingly sometimes he will do the "blue steel" face from Zoolander and then he looks like Ben Stiller

He everyone!

Just got into Vegas. See you soon Beth!

Have fun you guys!

Oh gracious. Trying to remember that he's your brother. And I'm married. And have little interest in being a stepmom (never have, it's a hard job even with good kids like me and my brother!). And he's younger than me. And even though I absolutely adore rugby players (and their musculature...generally a combo of sumo and soccer player), I see them as a head injury waiting to happen and my short time dating a rugby guy was enough for me. But yowza.


You mean...he looks even better in person? 'cuz I'm not having a problem with his shorts at all! (if you have nice legs (which means no chicken legs to me) you can get away with shorter than currently popular shorts with me)

OK I'll stop, sorry Stacerita, I hate when my friends would go on about my own brothers...though actually, Wendy, how old are you? I have the two half brothers who are nice strapping lads (the older is 25 and around 6'4", the younger is around 23 and just a bit shorter) and live in Aptos...maybe I should try to convince them to meet us at DLR sometime. They both need nice girls in their lives! (though I'd need to make sure they have their acts together before they meet nice girls)

The whole thing is pretty funny though. And honestly, he loves this kind of attention. Im gonna have to tell him about it and get his ego going.

Hey, we'll get Wendy hooked up yet!

Im on it

 

[Stacerita]

Kelly, I am sorry to hear about your family friend. Thoughts and prayers with you.

 

[mechurchlady]

Is anyoe planning on being there for the first day of the new parade.

I am so sorry Kelley and sending a card is best right now unless you were very very close to them. I hope Kynn can get her act together but there are so many enablers out there. I have seen where people take in teen friends who have run away and take care of them but not the right way. I would like to see her myspace since I deal with online teens so much but thought best not to ask. There is hope like one girl I know who did things her way and eventually hit bottom and then turned around. She loves doing flyball with her dogs in competition and when she nearly lost that then she changed.

The people who were supposed to check out the wheelchair did not show up. Tomorrow is the big day when I go to rehab to see if I can get an ECV. I cannot afford a chair and an ECV but may have to buy a chair and scooter. If not for the $45 per rental I could be in parks more often and thus active.
