They'd have to replace the entire Germany pavilion!! There can't be one "healthy" food or drink served there!

What beer is not good for you???

All beer is good for you. Lets not be ridiculous here.

Sounds like a lot of prayers are needed out there.

Prayers to Dale's family and friends, sounds like he was a true hero.

Prayers to Steve and his family for a speedy recovery / improved therapy for his son.

Prayers to Mark and his family as they continue to be presented with trials and tribulations.

Prayers to the folks in the path of these storms in the hopes that they pass without incident.

Prayers for everyone dealing with struggles out there.

Will be praying for all the dads and families in need as well. All the best guys.

I always thought grain was a food group. Beer is just the liquid version.

I posted the following over at the Podcast threads in response to a dicussion about how annoying it was to hear someone complain about some trivial annoyance 'ruining their whole trip'. Might give you all a chuckle. DisFed seemed to like it.


I can remember an incident during a trip a few years ago that was quite unnerving. We are DVC members and were staying at OKW. Things were going quite well, good weather, reasonable crowds at the parks. About half way through the trip the wife and I were walking along the sidewalk when this gecko darts out of the underbrush and across the sidewalk. It damn near scared me to death. I mean come on, this is a controlled Disney environment and they have these little scruffy lizards running around. After regaining my composure we kept walking and I noticed the things were EVERYWHERE. The place was literally crawling with the things. What was this? Jurassic Park? The next thing you know we'll have velociraptors and T-rexs roaming around the place. When we finally made it back to our room unscathed I fired off a letter to GEICO insurance to see if there was a copyright infringement thing going on here. I've yet to hear back from them, but i'm hoping for a finders fee of some kind.

We still go back each year, but i'm bound and determined not to let the little buggers get the drop on me again. I make sure to make my footsteps very loud (although the shock is causing some ankle and knee issues) and use a stick to stir up the bushes to scare the things away. I still can't believe they let lizards run wild around the place. The next thing you know I'll find out they have alligators on the property. Sheesh.

Glad to hear about your son! Scary stuff from the news this am.

Thanks! Today sounds like another scary day. My DS is in Nashville at a conference, my DD is in the basement of her dorm and my DDil is in a church basement with my 3 Grandsons.

Please continue to pray for the family of my friend, Lt. Cmdr. Dale Taylor, USCG.
He was the pilot involved in the Tuesday PM Coast Gaurd Helicopter crash in Mobile Bay, AL. His body was recovered today.

My heart breaks for his wife and two sons. They were friends of ours, in our Sunday school class and Dale coached Upward basketball. Dale was a great husband, father and friend. He exemplified integrity and hard work in all he did.

The last conversation I had with Dale was about WDW. We sat and talked in the church gym while watching our kids play one Wednesday night. He loved taking his kids to WDW, and we discussed activities, resorts, restaurants and rides.

Anyway, thanks guys.

Godspeed Dale.

I stand with you. I live in the flight path of Coast Guard Station Mobile and often see those helicopters in the air. I posted earlier that his son is in the classsroom of a teacher friend of mine. Sounds like we lost a really good guy! Wish we could honor him in some tangible way.

BTW...the toilet paper at my room in the Pop was installed properly.

As the ancient Egyptians knew, beer was simply liquid bread and a more suitable alternative to most water since the alcohol sterlized it.

I've fallen a bit behind and see that a lot of prayers are needed. Rest assured, everyone who needs it will be getting some.

But on another note....

I grew up around livestock. I'd spend a weeks every summer at county fairs, state fairs, festivals, carnivals, etc. After a little while, you do notice that every animal's droppings have a unique smell. Horse poop smells different than cow poop which smells different than pig poop. So, can someone please tell me how it is that I can walk into the bathroom at work, see one stall occupied, and immediately be hit by an overpowering stank of horse poo? What did that guy have to eat? Surely, this can not make the porcelain god very happy....

There was a pop up cell just a few miles north of my house this morning. I was getting ready for work and the sky to the north was black and lightning was coming straight down. It dropped some pretty good hail. It only makes me wonder how bad this afternoon will be.

Tornado just hit. 76 mph winds. 2 rounds of hail. No power. 10 minutes before next storm hits.
