Wonderful Story!

We just adopted a kitty who had to have a back leg amputated due to an accident. He gets around quite well and is a real snuggle bunny. I have family who adopted a dog that had a bad leg and only one eye. Bessie just keeps on going! I think animals with disabilities just don't know it's "supposed" to slow them down. They just keep going.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Va. Beach? Whatever. Va. Beach is a very conservative area, living under the shadow of Pat Robertson who's tv network is there. One of his companies just purchased the newspapers (or tried to) about a year or so ago. If you think intolerance is a family value, then it's a great place to raise kids.

The report shows that the conductor for the east bound train had cocaine in his system. There is also concern that the angle of the sun made it difficult to see the color of the signal. I hope the injured crew feel better sooner then later.

I was a cast member at WDW. I can tell you that safety is not paramount at that place, for the guests or the employees. Down in the utilador, you wouldn't believe the puddles and rust under and on the computers that run space mountain and such.

I know that one character (a Tigger) came down with meningitis and was hospitalized (this was in 1998). The entertainment management decided not to let anyone know nor clean/disenfect the costumes. They endangered hundreds of people.

Their was a bomb scare once at Space Mountain. The management decided to let the teens who run the ride "go in to look for suspicious bags and such" after clearing teh guests. No, not the bomb squad, some teenagers.

If you work outside, you are not allowed to carry water with you. I had two heat strokes before being allowed to move to a mostly indoor job. The manager that day, who ignored my symptoms, had 4 complaints against him at the time for sexual harassment. When I left the company, he was still there.

With Disney, it's the cheap option that wins every time, regardless of dangerous conditions, lack of maintenance, lack of training, etc.

For those that don't know, WDW is located in Reedy Creek, Disney's very own county/government entity. They have their own taxes, jail, fire stations, traffic rules, cops, etc. This is why no one dies there. They, the corporation, control everything that happens and for the most part, your civil liberties end where their property line begins.

Check out the work of artist Rob Conger who did a series of latch hook rugs of the locations where people were killed at WDW and Disneyland. Good stuff.

I like to feed the squirrels (unshelled mixed nuts, no peanuts!) some weekends here in DC. Lafayette Square, the park behind the White House, is the best place to do it. There are quite a few black squirrels there. Always cool to see one.

Doesn't include the Terminator attraction in Universal Studios Florida which is considered by James Cameron to be part of the line. Not sure how it would fit though as Skynet is destroyed in that one. Hmm.

Need fast cash? make a new timeline!

Right on, Mr. Cafferty! Right on!

Kids belong where kids belong, and no where else.

They don't belong on airplanes under the age of 4 (or very short trips only please) and only if well behaved (any age). They don't belong in nice, expensive restaurants. Go to Chuck E Cheese or Red Robin if you let your kids scream, rant and play Nintendo at the table. If YOU want a nice dinner, get a babysitter! Do not bring a child to a late movie that is rated PG-13 and up. You will earn every glare you receive.

When I went to see the latest Batman, a couple brought in two boys, dressed as Batman, no older then 8. Idiots. The next day in my local paper, people were complaining that the Batman movie wasn't appropriate for kids. Duh. Just becuase you get pregnant doesn't mean you know anything about raising kids well. Dogs get knocked up all the time. It takes thoughtful, mature adults to raise a child.

I enjoy a good sushi dinner and I marvel at the kids who go to my neighborhood place. They try a variety of things to eat and are well behaved. There must be something about parents/families who are open minded about food. Those kids make me smile. Kudos!

Thank goodness for the parents who get this. I thank you. THANK YOU! For the few who are idiots and decided to procreate, go home already and get a pack of condoms while you are on your way.

I just have one simple question:

If everyone is complaining about gas prices how come everyone is still driving like 75 on the highway?

My commute is 30 min one way all highway and set my cruise control at 65. I feel like an old lady driving on a Sunday, cars blowing by me left and right.

Where is the breaking point where people slow down?
