Great! I will try and spread "The Shiekra" up here in GA. People will have no idea what I am doing/talking about but who cares! As of right now we have one night in and are trying to get another night or 2 in.

oh yes, TCD twins picked up the turkey in the public school system :) The new way to greet each other is to turkey, squirrel, jelly fish, moose, stick shift, rocket, hand hug, etc. each other Personally I liked using the "hand hug" because as a high school teacher I don't want some 17 year old boy hugging me (even the one-arm-side-hug thing I was not a fan of as I was instructed to do). The last thing I need is pictures ending up on Fox 13! Yes, I was taught how to properly hug a student haha. on another note, I love the Anna story from the other TR. You two kind of have a cross-over report go

Just got all caught up! Love your report and story! I hope one day to adopt, it has been a dream of mine since taking a Chinese history class in college several years ago and learning about the 1-child policy. Do you have a website/blog for your adoption story? I would love to read it!

Me too, I hardly go on FB now. My BF sure is happy for pinterest, I can now cook things that taste good :rofl3: Warning, it is highly addicting! If you need an invite let one of us who are a member know and we can send you one. You can get sucked in easily! As stated above, I hardly go on FB now... im a pinaholic!

This comic went around the school when I was teaching At CHS one of the classes I taught was Child Development and we interacted with the pre-school attached to CHS and I could not believe how some of the parents behaved and the lack of respect! I usually deal with teenagers parents and I thought they were bad (different kind of bad)! Mrs. TCD is a special lady to be a pre-school teacher :superhero: And I wonder how many Vaction Club package-things they sell at that location. The DVC people always look so bored.

Neat! My thesis focused on the assimilation efforts (through education) and the Carlisle Indian School. I first got interested in Native American studies after learning about the Trail of Tears on my own... it makes me sad that this is not taught in all school districts and most Americans do not know about the extreme assimilation many Native American children and adults went through. I would love to teach on or near a reserve for a year or two!

Wow congrats! That sounds like fun... showing off your school that you love so much to all the new students :) Orlando has so many unique/fun/cool things to do or places to eat at that Gainesville doesn't (we loved Cafe Tu Tu Tango on I-Drive). The fun stuff I did in Gainesville was usaully a lot cheaper than Disney, Universal, outlet malls, Sea World, etc. In Gainesville I went to nature parks and floated down rivers in tubes... more tree hugger type stuff. And in Gainesville the bars are all right there, walking distance from your dorm. In Orlando we would go out in downtown Orlando- pay for

Congrats TCD DD on getting published! That is awesome! My B.S. is from UCF and I LOVED living in Orlando. I thought it was the perfect distance from home, because like your DD's I am close to my family but I was still able to live in a dorm and have that aspect of the college experience. However my BF went to USF (booooo, go Knights!) and he loved it there- and lived at home to save money. One negative about living in Orlando, it is EXPENSIVE!!! I never realized how much money I spent on theme parks, going out to eat (million and 1 places to eat in Orlando), outlet malls, regular malls, and mo

I started following you :) I am ashleyqd on there

Great, thanks for the information. Just to confirm, the ghost dog and "hot dog dog" are from Cracker Barrel :)

Nope no sisters! Would love to be an honorary TCD daughter :jumpforjoy You'll have to tell them I love their nails, do you know if they used those new stick on nail polish design thingys? Are you from Dunedin? Downtown Duendin is having a craft show this weekend if you are there :) There is a rumor floating around Dunedin that the Caladesi Publix is going to be expanded. I hope so because that is the one my parents use and on the weekends it is jammed! And it is small considering how big the new ones are (like the JUMBO one they put in Gainesville of Archer a year ago). And I will have to ma

I have a golden lab dressed as a ghost and I got it from the Gainesville Cracker Barrel in the beginning of October when I was there for the Bama game. They also had a yorkie, (boxer as you stated), chiuaua, and some others I cannot remember. They were all dressed up differently. p.s. Nutella is AMAZING :) TCD DD's have good taste... pun intended :rofl3:

I want to say we saw the sign Thursday or Friday, if it was Friday it was in the earlier part of the day. Yep she will be at Under the Oaks. She was at Mt. Dora and Fiesta in the Park in Orlando and did great! This is our first season of shows, before we only sold college accessories and it kinda grew into all bows. Thanks for checking it out :jumpforjoy We never saw the people so can not confirm the carnival barking we saw the sign either Thursday or Friday (earlier part of the day)... it wasn't big and it was low on the ground.

I did notice earlier in the weekend they had a "for sale" sign up for the decorations. I wonder if the Fort told them to take the sign down? I did not bother to find out prices. My mom and I laughed because we makes bows and headbands, and have a ton of Disney ones (shameless plug: find us on facebook- Lucy Lu Accessories http://www.facebook....282745028412276) :-\ . She said next time she is going to set up shop at our site and sell bows haha. She even has special Minnie Halloween and Christmas bows that would have been a huge hit. Kidding of course, she is really not going to set up shop.

Prepare to be addicted... you have been warned :) I already have over 600 pins in a month :dropjaw: and I have made lots of the recipes and crafts I found on there and they all turned out great! If you need any help let me know, I had to write a tutorial for my mom lol. Happy pinning :)

Loving the report already! Glad my dad and I got to meet you, my dad said you should come over and watch football next time and have a beer... except he only drinks "bud heavy" thats normal Budweiser... as opposed to Bud Light for you "young just graduated a million years ago out of college guys" ;-) Kidding... except not really! Ok i'll stop with the mean jokes now. My dad is not up to date on beer terminology, our waitress in Gainesville asked my dad if he wanted a bud heavy and this was my dads face :beer: he thought it meant a bigger beer! So I hope you like Bud Heavy Back on topic: I ag

TCD- I will post some pics when I get them downloaded to my computer :) Yes, Biden almost made us miss the fireworks. They had the water bridges closed but re-opened them just in time... or else Actually I kinda wanted to go see him because I heard he was talking about education and was speaking to the FEA (Florida Education Association) which I was a part of in college :)

Aww really, I know you have an inner DIY side to ya! :laugh: Your daughters will probably like the site a lot! I see lots of college stuff on there and crafty headbands and other things to make :) if they want an invite you can PM their e-mail addresses :) It was great meeting you too, I am not sure if I will make it to the UF/FSU game but my parents will definitely be there. If you go, our RV is like an open house on game does so stop by! I will post Grande One pics as soon as a download them to my computer. It is the yacht that is kept at the Grand Floridian but they picked us up at the fo

Yep, when you re-pin something it lets the original person know in e-mail. It will say somethign like "MicknMin repinned your pin..." you can also "tag" people in pins... so if you see something you are not interested but you think your friend might be you type a comment to that pin with the @ sign... for example "@micknmin" means I thought you would like something. it will show up in your "@mentions" section of your page. Therefore, the original person who pinned it will also get an e-mail saying you left a comment that said "@insertnamehere" hope that made sense :) I think there is a way to

WOW what a small world! I am following you now too, I love your Disney items!

Hey Fiends, My name is lucy_love (Ashley) and I am a lurker (hides under desk) :-[ . I am friends with some of you on Facebook but I hardly post on here… I came from the other side… eeek. I was at the fort this weekend and saw lots of fiends everywhere! I'm just too shy! We even rented out The Grand One for fireworks Friday, IT WAS AWESOME! I highly suggest it. However, we did have to add on a lot of extras.. like food, drinks, butler, etc. I am on the new website called pinterest.com it is a source for all things DIY, cooking, crafts, fashion, party planning, trips, photography, education too

Coolest dad ever award! My mom would let me skip school and go to Busch Gardens if I got good grades and if I were under the days you can miss and still exempt exams rule. Therefore, I went to school sick as a dog so I could use my 4 days a semester at Busch Gardens This was before we have our RV and Disney season passes... going to Disney would have been awesome! I do not know if BG still does this but when I was in high school you could go during the month of March, pay a 1 day admission, and come pack the rest of the year free :banana: for a 16 year-old that's pretty sweet!

That might have been you that I saw. We LOVE the 800 loop and always go looping around it several times on our trip ;D

Thanks everyone! I love this place :heart:

Thank you everyone! MickinMin, that was not me which loop were you in? Hopefully I will post often. I had about 500 post on the other board and that was over a period of 5 years so I do not have the best stats (hopefully that will change). Regarding the shoe tree and PETA. It is all about the birds... the tree apparently is a bird habitat so if the tree goes down so do the bird nests. I should have added that to the original post, sorry!
