seems my post was deleted. oh well.. I apologize for my outburst.
I just have a deep hate for those freeloaders during "group" work.

Yet another post I missed . . . this working, full-time gig has got to stop. I've got to win the lottery so that I can really keep up here with all the forums every day!!

This is why Boston cannot have the Olympics. And the police just stand there! Idiots on both sides.

There were 23 arrests after this spectacle this morning. You posted one picture; I can assure you that police and fire department personnel did their job.

As far as the Olympics are concerned, I agree. Here's yet another reason to not want it: everyone with any kind of agenda will use whatever city is selected, to take advantage of the "world stage" and just add to the chaos.

Love it!
This one gave me a kinda' primal feeling.

Geesh. This was happening in Chicago after the various Grand Jury rulings. I can't fault police if they value their pensions.

I agree, not sad Chicago didn't get the Olympics.

Like these handcuffs.

I am honored to share with you, the light of day, sir.

Post of the day.

I rarely eat fried food at home, so having it every other day at Disney is part of the fun. The chips at England are some of the best fries on the planet.

It is rare when I fry anthing at home. Pork Chops every once in a while but that is a very different type of quick fry.
I BBQ year round so even our burgers are grilled.

I would have seen it if I didn't stop to have the car washed. Silly me.

The BAH thread gives me a chuckle.
That amount of attention is usually reserved for the construction of something at WDW...!

I've gone to look at the photo's once they started dismantling. Not much more to say. I look forward to seeing some real nice photos of the Theater though. It genuinely is a very nicely themed building.

There has always been lots of blah looking building in the Disney Studios. Pretty much why years ago when compared to Uni Studio I didn't get the poopooing of Uni for lack of theming. I love the Theater Building and the Tower, not overly impressed with any other structures.

They had some "combo" meals up on the sign, and the guy at the counter kept trying to sell me one of those, but all I wanted was just a regular cheeseburger. Cheez . . . . . . can't a girl get a simple burger anymore?

Ours has a value menu. The prices run from $0.99-$1.29. I can get a junior Bacon Cheeseburger, a small chili, and a chive and sour cream baked potato for way under $4, and I'm set.

Our Wendy's has the same thing on the menu but the prices are slightly higher. The only $.99 are a child size fry and a mini frosty, which is enough for me. Jr. Cheese burger is $1.49 and a baked potato is $1.59.

I was on that road a few years ago in that stop and go section when I came the closest that I have ever been to watching my life flash before my eyes. I was stopped in a line and I happened to look in my rear view because I heard a noise back there. It seems that a flatbed truck loaded with giant rolls of steal (probably headed for car manufacturers) must have dozed off or something because he hit, at full speed, the back of a small car and proceeded to push it directly toward me. I even braced for the hit. At the last minute it kind of moved slightly to the right and just missed my car by inches. As it passed by me on my right, it was so close that I could see clearly the poor young lady that was in the car. I can't even describe her facial expression as the truck pushed her severely shortened car past me. Just as the front wheels of the truck got even with my passenger door, the truck started to climb up the back of the car flipping the truck over on it's side and pinched the car forward and spun it around in front of the truck coming to rest just a few feet from the front of the truck that was now laying on it's side. I looked behind me and only a few feet away from the back of my car was a giant roll of steel. It would have crushed my car had it fallen off the truck just a few seconds later.

I think I didn't stopped shaking for a week. I don't think the girl was injured seriously, but, I can only imagine how in shock she was. The front compartment of the car did not seem to have any damage at all. When I left there were hoards of people climbing up the truck to see what had happened to the driver. I would have stayed to help if there had been no one else there, but, armed with my limited knowledge of emergency procedures, it was better that I just moved out of the way.

85% of what I surveyed was imported steel. Those babies are heavy generally only one per flatbed. The truckers were paid by the load and many seemed to be in bit of a hurry to get back to the ships to get another. Sadly it was not that uncommon to have a coil on the road I had to go inspect. They needed a heavy duty forklift to pick the up and reload. The coils gone loose in a warehouse are equally deadly.

Man am I upset... I only got 7 out of 16 correct. Now they won't let me live there. Darn and I was so looking forward to freezing to death, eh!

Boy I could be on either side of the debate. But the length they are pursuing this is a bit much. I never let my 6 year olds out on their own or with a ten year old but 13 yea. But at 10 they were riding there bikes about.

We also have a handful (out of about 300) that walk to school on their own, I bet they are latch keyed. Our primary building is 4 years (KPrep) to 6 or 7 years depending where their birthday falls. Our Sherrif advocates kids walking to school.

The problem is there is no cut and dry rules, we don't even have what they do. It all seems to be very arbitrary. I'd leave my little one in the house and have them play in front of the window when I shoveled snow.
