Something About Nothing ... #12

[BagOLaughs]

Hmm..just watched a ride through of King Kong. I'll have to give it a actual ride next September, maybe youtube videos aren't doing it justice.

We're you not impressed by it? I think it looks fun, if a little short... It could be improved if they had more stuff at the very beginning, in the outdoor portion. At the moment, its just like... look shrubs!

mini golf i can do.
real golf, can not do.

no skills and too much walking without having a park ride to get on at the end of that long walk....

and it is easier to cheap at mini golf than real golf.

Love mini golf.. In my (completely non-expert) opinion, you have to be more skilled at mini golf than real golf

I've seen multiple reports of it. Terrible. I used to live on a canal and that was one of my worst fears.

No way! Is this real... woh.

I think the POV and youtube videos don`t seem to do the ride justice from what I`ve read elsewhere Rachel. I`ll wait and see the real ride before deciding I think...........



What a horrible time Orlando is having right now. Truly tragic events, but the attack at The Grand Floridian is just the most horrific thing to read about. Heartbreaking.

 

[keishashadow]

Only hump day, Orlando can't take much more tragedy this week.

Buck up little camper - it's only Thursday through Sunday (well, and practice rounds today and Wednesday).

I feel for ya - a handful of years ago we went to Oakmont for the US Amateur tournament, which draws maybe 10 - 15K crowd per round. Parked in a field about five miles away, seemed like it anyway, had to shuttle onto the course. There is little on site parking at Oakmont, and they'll draw about 40K per round for the Open. Gotta stick them somewhere. I remember saying at the time "I sure wouldn't want to be living around here right now".

Might be some rain issues to drag things along, it's iffy now but weekend should be clear.

It started last week, they opened the merchandise tents and buses started to run then jik people needed a $200 golf shirt to wear 'for' their viewing pleasure

Yes, one way in/out to that course, but the buses are using turnpike back gate at least.

My clubs are gathering dust in basement. Looking forward to hitting up many of the mini golf courses @ Myrtle Beach end of month. Loser buys dinner

Just saw on breaking news that a two year child was pulled into lagoon at Grand Floridian by alligator. Anyone else see this?

I've seen multiple reports of it. Terrible. I used to live on a canal and that was one of my worst fears.

For the night-time movie. Kid was put in 'play yard', any parent knows how fast a toddler can take off on you, a true nightmare. Reports state child was 2 y.o. & it happened in a foot of water. Feel for the family, people from outside the south don't necessarily understand how prevalent they are, my relatives would joke to look in the bathtub before entering. Perhaps reports they hauled out 4 'other' gators overnight will wake people up to the danger. Do hope they don't feel the need to fence off all of Bay Lake and other ponds onsite @ WDW.

More sadness. Even heard about the child's death at WDW on the news early this morning. My heart breaks for the family. Yeah, from living in Florida during the summer when I was young, any body of water, you had to assume a crock was there. Still, so horrible to wake up to that news.

So, Keisha, since it is Wednesday:

Camel needed, so Mac also knows what day it is.


Yeah, we get golf tournaments in our fancy suburbs on the other side of town. Always too much traffic and tempers when the tournament is in town. I grew up golfing, but I am not nearly as good as others in my family. As a teen, I worked in a park that had a 9 hole course, so I played chip and putt often. Now, I just like mini golf. That's enough for me.

I should have used this picture:

instead, as sunglasses are needed for this very, very bright day. Rain tomorrow, and Friday morning, but the week-end looks clear. So, looking forward to a nothing scheduled to do week-end.

Hugs and good wishes to all the homies that need it.

Oh, and isn't KY ready to road trip. Have an awesome time with the Mrs.

 

[macraven]

I needed that camel

 

[macraven]

Never got the urge to take up golf
Mr Mac and the 4 sons did golf.
But I always stayed with the mini courts

When we moved we gave the golf clubs away

I saw it late last night. This is so horrible. My heart goes out to this family and all the families of the Orlando tragedies this past weekend.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

On a brighter note today is DS birthday. I took the day off to spend it with him. We are going out for a birthday lunch to celebrate today and will have a party for him over the weekend. My baby is growing up!

 

[macraven]

To our boy !

Have a fantastic day with him celebrating with him

 

[Lynne G]

to little, well not so little Bluer! Hope he has a fun lunch. Great reason to celebrate Mrs. Bluer.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

I figure I'm going to take this time while I can. Starting high school in August so mom and dad might not be as cool to hang out with shortly. Lol

Quick, while you can still catch him, grab & give him a little birthday noogie from his friends here!

Drew, enjoy your day!

Mac I was drafted, Mr & DSs needed a four-some. I put the stink in PU.

 

[Robo56]

Love and prayers going out to all in Orlando. So sad.

I figure I'm going to take this time while I can. Starting high school in August so mom and dad might not be as cool to hang out with shortly. Lol

Hey! Mrs bluer, parents who brought their son up with Universal as a second home will be cool forever

Happy birthday to the youngest bluer may he have many more happy and blessed birthdays. Have a great day celebrating.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Happy Birthday young Bluer

 

[Lynne G]

You might get lucky. My teens are happy to travel with me, as long as I pay. Agree with Robo, you guys are cool parents.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Janet he got his noogie lol
He laughed when I told him it was from you
He told me to tell you
He is a good kid and kind of a momma boy so I'm hoping to have him stick around for awhile.

Side note we were just watching tv and a commercial for UO came on. They have Kong in the commercials now as if it is open. First one I have seen so hoping opening day will be soon!

 

[pcstang]

Happy birthday to Drew! Growing up on a lake in Orlando we always had to be aware of our surroundings. Not just gators but snakes too. Very sad for the family, saw the news break last night.

 

[schumigirl]

Better late than never......... To little bluer.......hope he had a great day.........


Funny old day today..........don't you just hate competitive parents who want to tell you their adult child is better qualified than anyone else's............I can switch off and ignore it.......lol......laugh it off.....

Taking DS to get DH something for Fathers Day tomorrow........have no idea what he's going to get him......

Nearly bedtime here........jet lag is finally wearing off I think.........

 

[tinydancer09]

They found the kids body Heard they've removed several alligators from the lake already. Think we need to have an open gator season for while. Not a fan of any gator. They're also discussing opening bear season again and people are soooo angry. They've also had to remove the jokes about the crocodiles from the jungle cruise... Yikes. Not so funny anymore.

 

[tinydancer09]

Happy birthday bluer! Hope you're having s great day! Only a few weeks until you get to celebrate in Orlando right?
