| 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

My
wedding (Finally over! :P) Trip Report? (maybe? it has photos..)
You might recall Kittiekyo's hair dilemma for

best, as you will see from the gorgeous pictures of her happy
day.

No BBQ for us! Can't afford it.

forward to going there.

or chocolate. ~ disneyballerina

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!
