Welcome one and all to this week's MiceChat Round-Up. Tasman makes it back to the resort after 25 years and OogieBoogie finally makes it to WDW. We get pics and an update from France and we need some help on how to get a stain out of velvet. Yes, it's a little eclectic but we like it that way.

I'd also like to remind everyone that the shop for the MiceChat Gumball Rally has finally opened and you can purchase you tickets NOW! You must purchase your tickets for the Gumball Rally by APRIL 19th to get the special discount price of $14.99.

If you aren't exactly sure if the Gumball Rally is for you we are also having a FREE Practice Rally on Sunday April 26th for any who care to attend. Try it. If you like it, get then buy your tickets for the all day event the following month. -  Fishbulb

How long do you spend at a restaurant?
Never having given it much thought, I could not begin to answer Yackerz's question. Do you have your dining out experience down to a science, enabling you to make it home in time for your favorite show? Or do you like to linger and enjoy dessert and coffee after your meal?

Very disturbing, VERY scary.
Throughout history there have indeed been female abductors, murderers and sexual predators. But as sunnygirl points out, women are not the first to come to mind as perpetrators of such crimes. The recent arrest in Tracy, CA of a 28 year old mother for the murder of Sandra Cantu, who is the mother of the victim's best friend, reminds us that stranger danger is not the only kind.

Duggar Family Announcement April 2009
And I thought I had my hands full with two kids! Snow_White_Raven shares the Duggar family's announcement that one of their 18 children, Joshua, is about to become a father himself. It's the circle of life...

Stain removal from velvet? HELP!
I'm not exactly sure why Stitchy is getting a Halloween costume in the mail in April, but in any case, it arrived with a stain. Can you help?

Easter plans?
The first post by tassie described a lovely Easter weekend in my opinion, but the rest of the thread is also full of interesting and fun ways your fellow MiceChatters celebrated this holiday.

Most Miserable Place on Earth.
I'm going to do my best to refrain from jumping into this discussion, but I will go out on a limb and say that I disagree with the results of a survey shared with us by TDLFAN. Oregon? The most miserable? Huh. I know of worse places!
