Oh are you not familiar with the Westboro Baptist church? Fred Phelps? Google them. I'd explain here, but I'm afraid that would get me in trouble for being political. Anyway, the picture I posted was from a counter protest we did against him when he came to Laramie where I went to college. He came for the trial of Matthew Shepherd's murderers. He picketed Matthew's funeral but we didn't have the organization at that time. So when he came for the trial, we got together to block his hate. Angel Action is what we called it and it has spread across the nation with groups making human walls at every funeral he pickets, but my understanding is they are no longer allowed to wear the big wings because Phelps' group complained that it was an infringement on their first amendment rights.

Uncaring people. They only hurt those left behind.

Extremely gross that the ride vehicle probably wasn't taken out of the rotation. I've always told my daughter "I don't care if you don't have to go, try anyway" when I know we won't have access to a bathroom for awhile.

Mrs Ferret asks me this question all the time

We have a change in plans for our ship trip in October. Sister visiting at our scheduled time. We are going to Disney after.

You weren't fooling any of us for a minute ...

If you were around my sister for more than a minute, you would know better.

Is this a better format? It seems not to take too much space.

Each page is automatically 20 posts--no pics, big pics, small pics. It's your choice.

 

[Gabe1]

Almost 40 pages behind...I can do this!

Good luck with that!

Can't you just tell your sister that you have made previous plans so she will have to go alone? I would, I don't understand why my plans would not be just as important, if not more so, then someone elses.

What an idiot...this baptist church/phelps fellow. I would say more too, but it wouldn't be very nice and I don't want to get political/religious.

Now that's creative thinking.

Now that right there is fuuuuuuun-E...!!!!!

I'm old enough (God help me) to remember that the original opened on the same weekend as Gremlins. We went to see Ghostbusters, but it was sold out, so had to see Gremlins. I have no idea why they opened that now Christmas classic in the dead of Summer, but that was one of my great moviegoing experiences of my life.

I never saw that one at the theater either, but, when I finally saw it on cable, l loved it...such a crazy hoot ...!!!

They filmed some of the new Ghostbusters in Boston this past year. Not sure why. As with any other film crew in the middle of a big city during the work week, it was a nuisance. All it did was create inconvenience, blocking off some street areas, etc., and creating occasional traffic gridlocks. Oh, I also did not see the first movie either.

An episode of House of Cards was shot right near school last fall. I understand why; the area, especially in the fall, is beautiful, but they blocked off over half our parking lot, as well as a good chunk of the area where I like to walk. I hope they at least donated to the school since they made just about every student and faculty member with a class on that campus very angry for about a week.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Has anyone else been to Europe?

Nope. North, Cental and South America.

 

[donaldtoo]

Simple short answer is yes. Stay out of fresh water in the south.

This is pretty much the American alligators range...

Maybe I missed it but I thought London would be in Soarin

 

[donaldtoo]

Yum! I like putting hot fudge on mint chocolate chip, it makes it extra heavenly.

Oh my!
Now I'm imagining it with the hot fudge and caramel sauce...!!!!!

 

[betty rose]

Good luck with that!

No person, you and @MOXOMUMD and @figmentfan423, have to keep up. Life can deter our plan's. We all move on. No one wants to judge someone for being off for awhile. It's all good. If I'm off for a while, I told hubby, to tell you all I'm dead!

 

[betty rose]

Wow, they aren't? They have been our partner's for many years.

 

[donaldtoo]

I remember when they both came out too. My older sister was allowed to go see Ghostbusters and Gremlins. I was not, I think my mom probably thought I would be scared (movie about ghosts, and a movie about little monsters). She was probably right. I remember that I had a loose tooth the day my sister got to see Ghostbusters, and my mom told me if I lost it that I could go to the movies as a reward. I tried but I couldn't lose it in time. I don't really know why she made that offer, maybe she knew I wouldn't lose it. Anyway, I still have never seen either movie.

If you like Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, and Harold Ramis, you should definitely watch Ghostbusters at least once.
Gremlins is just a hoot of a black comedy...!

She is considered the last matriarch in our family. Everyone follow's her lead, as she is the oldest. I don't want to make enemy's in the family, my daughter is friends with cousins, her daughter's. Daughter know's and her daughter's know how she is. I'm am the peace maker, for the next generation. I'm trying not to cause trouble. It's a little thing to us to spend a few hundred dollars to keep the peace. Families have their own dynamic. I'm following ours. We may have had terrible experiences between family member's, but we bury the hatch and go on. At least I do, it's too tiring to keep up with anger.
