I'm looking forward to many more AZ meets in the future (with YOU...gainfully employed...in Greenland!!!!) Pollyana & Rick...what a sight for sore Billy eyes. It was just wonderful to see you both again. Can't wait until you get to go in October and meet Shiva & Tinkeroon. You'll immediately be in love. Thanks again....what a pleasure! xoxo

Originally Posted By tinkerbell1962 Pollyana, great finally meeting you (& Mr. Pollyana) !! We have so much in common!! Thanks to gaydsnywitch for getting the ball rolling on this. Now, we just need to have better timing for mmaus1962 to make it up from Tucson. I know there are more AZ people out there ... really - we had a nice time. Checked out the Disney Store at San Tan Village and then off to Dairy Queen for a tasty treat. Gaydsnywitch, Edna-E-Mode, myself and our kids headed out to check out the place. We can attest to the new Bath and Body Works hand soap DOES feel like vaseline and that Bamboo room spray does NOT make a good body spray. Lets just leave it at that. We tried every computer at the Apple store and then had lunch (yes, after ice cream) in the food court which reminded us of an airplane hanger. Test Pilots Grill perhaps??? Next trip we are going to attempt the free Trolleys that ride in the Old Town portion of Scottsdale. We'll review the schedule and route to pick some exciting stops. Would afternoons or early evenings work for anyone?? You can always drop me an email (it's in my profile). Keep an eye out for an AZ meet announcement. I'm sure by then I'll have a few more exciting stories to tell STIL.

Originally Posted By gaydsnywitch I kept wondering about the white screen of death that I'd been hearing about. lol mmaus1962, fine, be that way. See if I ever try to be accommodating again.
Originally Posted By mmaus1962 LOL! But hey, if y'all wanna go down to the Outlets at Casa Grande for a meet, count me in.
Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove Then again, I could try to tempt you out to Superstition Springs Mall (near me and Pollyana) and we could all ride the double-decker carousel!
Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove Well...in my professional (not!) opinion: AZ Mills is okay, but getting somewhat tired. The newer Chandler Mall is, well, newer. S.Springs is older, but getting refurbished. It has a new "Pink" store (Victoria's Secret) and a new Hollister store (or whatever the store is that shows Santa Monica's beach live *sigh*) and other big anchor stores. Problem is...if you go to S Springs it's almost in Apache Junction! But, the new south 202 (San Tan) is the route you'd definitely want to take. Seems like it will be trolley time next. Hope we can do it! Also: another fun meet would be the zoo at Christmas time.
Originally Posted By mmaus1962 I hope to come up for the Scottsdale meet. I emailed the dates I could make it to tinkerbell1962. I also want to visit the Penzey's Spices store when I'm up that way!
Originally Posted By Pollyana Is Apache Junction a bad place.....I hope not, I live there! I know it has a reputation but there are pockets of very good housing and thankfully that is where we are.....I have never done the double decker carousel but the trolley ride sounds great..
Originally Posted By mmaus1962 It's not a bad place, it's just that if one is driving up from Tucson, it (used to) seem like one was halfway to Albuquerque! The last time I was up that way was about 6 years ago and I hear it has grown quite a bit.
Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove <<Is Apache Junction a bad place>> Nope, it's just what mmaus said: it's just farther....
Originally Posted By Pollyana Good to hear that! The new 202 sure does help. It's an easy hop, skip and jump to now to places like SanTan...
