Exactly...and now I'm picturing the beach/pool area at Caribbean Beach where we are staying in just over a month. Do I tell my kids they can't go swimming? Do they do alligator checks are resort pools? I don't know WHAT to think.

Ok, I am trying to make my lists for our trip. There was someone I promised to send kitchen knives to while I am there. Who was that, and will you please send me your mailing address if you still want them? Thanks!

I saw the first, but Im wary of this reboot.
First there are guys who claim the movie will be a turd, because the actors were fighthing each other, the script was terrible and the company had to NDA every employee to prevent it from sinking in advance and then claim the only hurray is because feminism.
Then the other side claims every "big boy" was y because the cast was changed to an all female team, and the movie doing great.
seems both sides have points.

So, since it's Friday, I want to post a picture, and in light of recent events and that the Westboro Baptist Church has announced that they will be picketing the funerals of the victims of the Pulse shooting, I want to post something positive and full of love.

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

Great minds LOL My dh is off today so we're all going out and grabbing a few things for the trip, going to the library and we hope to be done in time to have at least an hour or 2 at the pool. Not sure about the last one because my dh wants to go to the hardware store
I'm going to pack the overnight bag for the ride down this week
I'm going to at least try to get that done but the weather looks so nice for the next week.

Here's a confession...I never saw the original.
So no real interest in this one.
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.

So here is maybe a funny story, or at least funny weird. It involves the numbers 616. For the past few years, I have seen these numbers everywhere:
When I'm running on a treadmill, if I happen to look down at the time elapsed, it says 6:16, or 26:16, or something. But always with the 6:16. I have to attend a meeting. The building number is 616. I go to Walgreens and buy a protein shake and a pack of gum. Price? '$6.16. The train I take to see Phil on Long Island on Fridays has a new departure time: 6:16 PM. I play this video game with a countdown timer that stops when you complete a level. It constantly stops at 6:16. There are so many other examples. It is constant. Phil naturally thinks I am crazy and he is probably right.
I don't believe in supernatural stuff, but this has had me slightly freaked out, as if the universe is trying to tell me something. Well the universe needs to be freaking clearer with its messages.
Is 616 good? Do I use those as lottery numbers? Is it a warning of my Imminent doom? Or is this all the warped manifestation of a lunatic's mind? Phil feels it is the later.
But of course today is 6/16/2016.
Do you know how certain I was that I was going to drop dead at 6:16 today?
At that time, I was in the subway station waiting for the R train to zip me home. It came barreling into the station at exactly 6:16. I am not even kidding. I almost didn't get on it, but the R train's nickname is "the rarely", so who knows when another would show up? But I was scoping that train for shady characters all the way home.
Well nothing happened, but the day's not over yet, and hopefully I will survive until midnight, but in case the 6/16 gets me, it's been nice knowing you all!
PS - although this is a 100% true story, I'm slightly kidding about being too worried about it. But it really is pretty weird.
Well, I can't do anything about today's date. However, may I suggest the following helpful hint for you, so that you won't get so freaked out by the time. Instead of always noting that it's 6:16 when you just happen to check the time lately, why not convert that into Greenwich? Instead of shuddering at the thought of 6:16 AM, for example, you could view that as 2:16 AM, GMT.
Now, isn't that a lot more comforting?
You know, that's why you come here to our little thread. We have solutions.

See, to me that sounds like you are practicing for when you are down and out and having to frequent dumpsters behind restaurants for sustenance.
Oh, well, at least you will be ready, I will have to adapt, but, it might take awhile.

The humidity was high yesterday. We have bedrooms off a standard hallway and also the hallway bath. Walter has now decided that that big blast of A/C that comes through in that area is his nighttime sleeping area. Our new trip over the Pup in the dark zone.
One of my dogs would sleep in our upstairs bathroom in the summer because that is where the strongest AC was upstairs. A couple times I thought about joining him on the floor.

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.

Agree, with all you said.Disclaimer:
I'm still a tad melancholy over my events of yesterday and the following is my Rant. But even when you're melancholy some spins are just wrong.
I'm still feeling bad about the little tike and his family this week at Disney. Being from the Midwest I have zero knowledge of where to anticipate gators. But at Disney where I've gone since it opened no way did Disney in my lifetime make me aware of my surroundings for gators, the opposite actually. I saw Goofy skiing in the Lake, The Poly had a Wave pool in the lake. River Country, the first Water Park was partially in the lake area, partly man made. This decade while now ended Disney was Still hosting Ironman Triathlons and ones specifically for children. My kids walked the beach area by the water when they were small kicking sand and walking barefoot at the shoreline. No they didn't swim in the lake but they sure walked the lake beach area. They've fished in the fishing hole at POR. My only guess is there might have been once much better gator patrol/control. But does this scream warning gators????

The mission of IronKids is to inspire and motivate youth through the sport to lead an active, positive, and healthy lifestyle.IronKids Orlando will take place at Walt Disney World’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, with those in the senior division entering the water at 7 a.m. and the intermediate and junior divisions following. The triathlon for kids will have participants swim in Bay Lake, followed by a bike and run on closed roads throughout the Fort Wilderness campgrounds. A portion of the run course will pass through the petting zoo at Tri-Circle-D Ranch, which ts, potbellied pigs and more.features horses, ponies, goats
Distances for the IronKids Triathlon will vary depending on the age of participants:
– Ages 6 to 8: 50-yard swim, 2-mile bike and 500-yard run
– Ages 9 to 11: 150-yard swim, 4-mile bike and 1-mile run
– Ages 12 to 15: 300-yard swim, 8-mile bike and 2-mile run
And now Disney has the beaches closed, rightfully but what are they building at the expanded Wilderness Lodge DVC expansion then?
Some of those Units are dang close to the shore of Bay Lake.
And to conclude my rant about the claims I've heard this has never happened before.

http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-old-gator-attack-disney-world-20160616-snap-story.html
So I'm thinking Disney over the decades has sent some mixed messages about their bodies of water.
Rant over.

I think if you use common sense and look at your surroundings you'll be just fine. If you use the beach area at the CBR just tell the kids to stay far away from the water, you can't swim or wade in it anyway. As for the pool, just look before going in. There are usually people around and gators don't usually want to be around people. People should also be aware of snakes in the water too, personally I'm more afraid of a seeing a snake in the water/pool than a gator. I've seen snakes fished out of the water there and in almost 30+ trips to WDW I've never seen a gator on property (and I've looked too).

I would assume so. But, like most people, I've walked the path from the Poly to GF, many times. And stood on the beach to watch fireworks.

I can't believe people would picket a person's funeral. That is disgusting.
