sinkhole in the parks

[Thrill]

I'm down with that. I want a yard of rocks, like they have on Breaking Bad! Rocks need no watering or mowing.

I wish that would catch on!

I was thinking more along the lines of clover. It has pretty much all the benefits of rocks (water and fertilizer savings, no need to mow), while still appearing green and doing some photosynthesis.

I thought Minnesota was 10,000 lakes. Isn't Finland 1000 lakes?

According to Google, Finland IS the Land of 1000 Lakes. Hadn't heard that!

Minnesota is the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Florida is, of course, the Sunshine State!!! (And unofficial home of OJ, I think.)

We've been talking about moving to Florida in two years. Maybe not... Is this all over Florida or just around Orlando?

They do put a "may be unverified" caveat in there, but it looks like the map that was on the news.

Wow, that's crazy. Hmmm... wondering if it's still a great idea.

I live here and am wondering how good an idea it is. One of those dots is just a mile or two from my house.

I'm going to try to forget about all this for now.

So you are OK with your neighbor painting his house neon pink and having 3 cars on blocks in the front yard lowering the value of your property?

Or are you the guy with the pink house?

I just gotta butt in with a true story. The house we live in now was pepto pink, with raspberry trim when we bought it. The very first thing we did was paid it a nice neutral earth tone. Every one of out neighbors, even from way up the street, came over to the house that week thank us profusely for painting the house.

Hmm. Did not know about the one at Animal Kingdom's parking lot.

i went to high school in Florida,learned how to drive and got my first licence in Florida,First several jobs in Florida. and now im back in new England...what a waste of space this cold a** two month long summer is...i mean really it sucks that bad...traffic blows,pot holes suck,drivers are worse...did i mention its cold? and it snows? (granted i did see flakes in Daytona)

so if im deciding over a hole that may or may not happen....Florida all day.

And I'll second that opinion.



I don't care what color someone paints their house.

1. I'm not paying their mortgage, so I have no say in what they do on their own property.
2. HOAs feeling the need to make sure everything is exactly the same is just plain boring. Ultimately, a house is the outmost reflection of the person living there, and I'd rather live next to people who know how to live and have fun with their lives (like these Floridians...the husband is a Florida Gators fan, his wife likes the FSU Seminoles) than some old stick in the mud who has no thrill left in their life aside from planning their own funeral.


That's right, HOAs.

That is fine as long as you are good with buyers taking a pass on your house or an appraiser shaving off a few grand from the value because the Johnson's are huge Gator fans and paint their house orange with blue trim.

 

[Master Yoda]

Where is that?

I think that was from a building in Indonesia.

Sounds like Gettysburg. But that is history, not a newly built housing development.

Back on track for sinkholes, That is why Florida is known as the Land of 1000 Lakes.

It's called Land O' Lakes, Fl.

I'm pretty sure that Lovelock Correctional Center is OJ's home now.

Central and the West Coast of Florida tend to have the most sinkholes, but they can happen anywhere on the planet.

At the Indiana Dunes where last month a sink hole swallowed up a 6 year old boy (he lived beneath the sand for 3-4 hours doing pretty good) the detection team has found another sink hole on the next dune over. They are saying sink holes should not be able to form in the dunes but they are. Equipment is being brought in to study this sink hole with hopes of understanding them prior to the upper tiers collapsing.

Why would I want to sell my home? That's my HOME, man. It would be like selling my liver.

Ah, my mistake.

i loved living in the community i lived in Daytona....walk out and set up a lawn chair on the golf course at night and watch the shuttle launch and light up the sky like broad daylight.

Disney should really take advantage of he Sinkhole situation. They could easily build that ride they have over the sinkhole called Journey to the Center of the Earth. I would check it out and I am sure others would too.
