<p>I thought you were pulling my leg, but it’s the real deal…and cute. But I wouldn’t sign on unless the donkey poops are also miniature.</p>
<p>Don’t get a miniature donkey unless you have other animals to keep them company - a horse or pony or another donkey. They are very social and it is cruel to provide them with a solitary life. Human company is not enough.</p>
<p>
I want a miniature giraffe like that Russian dude in the DirectTV commercial has.</p>
<p>“Opulence, I has it.”</p>
<p>Cartera- she wants the miniature to keep her horse company. Her horse tore a tendon and in order to save on board she wants to bring the horse home. Of course to bring the horse home we have to build a ring, fix up our corral and get the horse a companion. Not sure how that is a good buy for me!</p>
<p>notrichenough, that little giraffe creeps me out. Don’t know why. What in the world is that commercial about anyway (other than selling DirecTV)? I don’t get it.</p>
<p>mom60 - that’s a great idea! You know what else works with laid up horses? Goats.</p>
<p>Quick question–is $275 roundtrip (plane ticket) a good/bad/terrible price for Philadelphia to Nashville?</p>
<p>$275 sounds decent, but you can do comparative and predictive searches on Bing/Travel.</p>
<p>[Flight</a> search results, Philadelphia to Nashville - Bing Travel](<a href=“Microsoft Bing Travel”>Microsoft Bing Travel)</p>
<p>A couple of different searches will show you how dependent it is on days of the week,etc.</p>
<p>For travel I use kayak.com. Of you create a login you will be able to check multiple dates and a calendar will pop up showing the best prices other users have found recently.</p>
<p>Happykid followed the links at the petit lap giraffe ranch website, and put herself on the waiting list for one. I think she’s something like number 350,000 in line so I don’t expect she will take delivery very soon!</p>
<p>You mean to say that the mini giraffe in the Direct TV commercial is real? I thought it was a special effects fake!!</p>
<p>They are fake but the website is amusing. There is even a giraffe-cam. </p>

<p>Happykid is kind of hoping that by the time she works her way up to the top of the waiting list that they might really exist. Meanwhile, she has to settle for watching “our Bull Vladimir” tiptoe around the barn by day and snooze under a heating lamp at night. I’d love to know how much of it is giraffes on film, and how much is CGI.</p>
<p>Thanks! I looked it up on Kayak and signed up for future fare alerts, but didn’t see any info on past trends.</p>
<p>So happy–just got a lovely LEATHER teal soft-sided laptop/briefcase/purse for only $35 (no tax)! I got it so I can travel with it, use it as a purse, and carry it around instead of being accused of having a diaper bag (which I have been accused of when I carry LeSportSac). It is a nice change from all the neutrals & blacks I usuallyl end up with; I really like it!</p>
<p>HIMom, do share where you got the bag!!!</p>
<p>Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but Target credit cards get you a 5% discount at check-out. Syms has a 5% discount too.</p>
<p>
Ha! I did use a Le SportSac bag as a diaper bag/purse for many years when D & S were small. When S was finally old enough that I didn’t need to carry around all that “stuff” all the time, I threatened to have a bag burning party. I was SO sick of that bag!</p>
<p>It was at a Marketing Fair held quarterly, locally. I really like to touch and heft bags before purchasing to be sure it will meet my expectations. I like that this one is NOT black since so much of my wardrobe IS black. It looks MUCH more professional than most of my other bags and has NO logos, which I also like.</p>
<p>Other people who were at the same booth all had good things to say about the quality of the merchandise and several were repeat customers.</p>
<p>Omaha Steaks is having a big $19.99 sale until midnight. For instance, you can get 6(5 0z) bacon wrapped top sirloins for that price. If you spend at least $79,you also get a $20 reward e card.</p>
<p>I can’t find that sale. Can you provide a link?</p>
