Christmas Help

Ok, I know this is going to sound friggen weird but -

I need help finding a Winter Blue Tigger for my three year old daughter. The dern thing is sold out at every Disney store within a hundred miles of me. If any of you happen by a Disney store in your travels and pick one up for me Ill gladly re-pay that and the shipping and whatever extra you need for your trouble.

Yeah Im a weirdo but I love the kid.

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Randy

Ya just had to throw in the picture. How am I supposed to say no to a little cutie like her???

If I see any Winter Blue Tiggers, I'll pick one up.


Skagel, get the guy a torque wrench. Craftsman, Mac or Snap-On... doesn't make a difference. A really good one with the dial adjustment (not the kind with the scale on the side).

It's a gotta-have-in-my-box kind of tool (whether you use it or not).

And shes framed quite well in the back of a F 250

The people pn this site are truly good people. If I can ever return the favor, even for taking the time to look, let me know.


I did graduate from The Culinary Institute of America, so recipes are good. Or I can tell you how to lay a backbone for fier optics across the country and blow fiber :|

What about another character?

Okay - here's the Buffalo scoop - 1/2 the people up here are idiots, the rest are just dumb! One place I called was SO unreal I HAVE to tell you what went on! Bear w/me a sec ok?

Me: Hi! I'm looking for the Winter Blue or Icicle Tigger - do you have any?
Cust. Svce Rep: Ummmm
Me: It's for a 3 year old - do you carry Tigger's?
She: you mean outside lights?
Me: Uh - no - I'm looking for the new Icicle Tigger for a 3 yr old
She: Is it Tigger sliding down an icicle on a string of lights?
Me: NO - it's a stuffed animal, it's Tigger & he's white with blue stripes!!!
She: so Seasonal/Outdoors won't help any?
Me: NO! Just let me have the TOY department!
`````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``
Ring, ring ring X100 - click - I hear a voice saying
"Jason - can I help you?"
I tell Jason what I'm looking for, being SURE to point out I want a STUFFED Tigger! His next remark was "This is computers - we don't have stuffed toys in this department." As I was about to let out a PRIMAL SCREAM, I decided to forgo that & asked him to transfer me to toys or furniture or Electronics - ANYWHERE but the front desk. Then he tells me there's nobody in toys, all calls for them go to computer's & he never heard of/saw a Tigger wearing a winter outfit.
At this point, to save my sanity & prevent myself from being arrested for rude or violent threats I thanked him & hung up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I then called Toys-R-Us & was told that since it's a Disney item ONLY Disney stores can sell them. IS SHE NUTS? AM I?
Ok - on to the Disney Stores - all 3 were busy BUT I finally got thru & learned only 1 store MAY get some in - they get new stock daily & I should keep checking BUT she has the Icicle Pooh & Eyeore's IN STOCK!
I was wondering - do you want 1 of those as a backup in case we can't find Tigger? Will your daughter accept them for now? Was it this complicated when WE were kids? I swear - if I find Tigger I'm buying 2 - 1 for yo u& 1 for me to take around to all these stores & hit them over the head with it! Arrrggghhh!
Let me know if you want another character & I'll go get it & still look for Tigger too but time is running out so I don't know what else we can do! Sorry I couldn't find Tigger but I did find LOTS of new test subjects for a case study - it could be called "Brain Dead people who actually have jobs" & I'll conduct the research myself! Heck - I'll buy some "Tigger sliding down an icicle" string of lights just to make it more fun when I interview these people!
