It looks like the tabloids in the UK are having a feeding frenzy on this.

Is that staying in the park, msbelle? I would imagine those hotels would be way more expensive than outside, but would also mean you wouldn't need to rent a car, right? Many factors!!

I read somewhere that wild animals will eat cigarettes because the nicotine kills intestinal worms. Not sure if this is fact.

I know tobacco is used as a pesticide. Doesn't seem like a reach that native animals would chew a native leaf medicinally.

Yes it is an onsite hotel and no rental car needed. I think it's fine, I am just trying to figure out if my mom and dad freak out.

I wish we could the airfare down more around $500 RT, but that seems near impossible.

This is the second time a major Chinese newspaper has run with an Onion story it thought was real:

China's top paper goes to town with 'sexy' North Korea's Kim

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's top newspaper went to town on Tuesday with a 55-page online picture spread of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un being named The Onion's "Sexiest Man Alive for 2012", appearing to fall for a spoof by the U.S. satirical website.

Seemingly clueless as to the real nature of The Onion's tongue-in-cheek award for Kim, the People's Daily splashed full-page photographs of the portly young leader riding horses, clapping his hands, waving and clasping children's cheeks on his tours around North Korea.

"With his devastatingly handsome, round face, his boyish charm, and his strong, sturdy frame, this Pyongyang-bred heartthrob is every woman's dream come true," the English online edition of the People's Daily quoted The Onion as saying.

A number of years ago a Chinese paper based a story on an Onion article about how Congress was demanding Washing DC pay for a new building with a retractable roof, or else Congress would move to a different city. It was funny when Western reporters called the Chinese newspaper and the paper denied the Onion was the source of its reporting.

On-site Disney hotels are crazy expensive, so $450/day including food is probably a decent deal.

Yeah, for Disney that sounds more on target.

Dr Google says do not give your dog tobacco for worms, it will not get rid of them and is highly toxic for the dog. I can't find anything at all about deer.

I wonder if that would be true of in-the-ground, non-processed tobacco. Could be. And dogs react badly to a lot of shit.

But just to introduce more species, I've never seen a dog or cat snag tobacco, but cats go nuts for the foil and cellophane from the pack.

Gah. Mom just made my father take her away in the car, with the dog.

I got him on the phone briefly, reminded him this is the best option and he needs to be strong and not talk to her about it.

Frustratingly, she was very sharp this morning and challenged the staff: "This is an institution! You can't convince me this is a hotel!"

Chewing my nails: will they come back? The old place has no food, no heat, no clothes, no dog food. But they still have the keys.

The funny thing is, she's getting more exercise and social contact this week than she's had in over a year...
