test Part 10

[keishashadow]

wimp, schwimp...i've got papers to prove it ...it's a mighty long list.

suppose i could blame it on my bad back, fear of heights or long lines; shameful truth is i was petrified

i did enjoy the heck out of most of the rides, can't wait to go back; overall park is much bigger and enjoyable than i thought it would be. Even liked the Snoopy ice show.

Surprisingly got air time most of the ride on the blue streak. Iron dragon (lost count how many times we rode that one) is fun, wish it were just a hair more intense.. Family said they never heard a scream like the one i let out going down the 1st hill on the Gemini. The guys rode some of the "big boys"; both said the Mean Streak hurt their backs.

Disaster Transport was stupid & weird, no track - you roll in the dark in a tunnel? Mine Creek was just ok.

Castaway Bay was fun, smaller than i thought it would be. Glad we only bought the after 5 pm tix. Water roller coaster solicited another yelp out of me. when DS rode a 2nd time the attendent asked where "the screamer was"

Bob - i've never seen ANY hotel as dirty/rundown as the Econolodge; got on the horn with Choice hotels & demanded a refund. They honored our rate @ the Clarion @ the mall (very nice, recently refurbed). We were going to eat dinner @ the Thirsty Pony after the WP...until we noticed the hand-written sign on the door "no firearms within 10 feet of restaurant" . It's really rough looking in that area.

tony - i've scheduled a couple trips around shuttle launches (have yet to hit it lol); enjoy!

Other than my vested interest in mr bond's trading card value - hee-hee; i've followed his career since his days w/the Pirates many years ago. While i'm sure he's juiced; how many other less-stellar players also went this route over the years? Baseball, football - everyone's looking for an extra edge. While the teams didn't sanction it, i refuse to believe they didn't unofficially encourage it. Seems to me the league didn't give a darn upfront, only when a 'known suspect' starting closing in on the record did they start waving their arms madly. IMO he's the poster boy to point a finger at, doesn't help that he's very opinionated either i suppose.

oh yeah....GO STEELERS!!!!!!

That used to be an outdoor stupid ride, with a bobsled theme. It sucked then, but instead of tearing it down, they threw a cover over it and changed the theme -- it still sucks.

I keep hearing that Castaway's water park isn't very large. We almost stayed there last winter, but decided instead to go to Great Wolf Lodge. I think next time we'll go to Kalahari, although I would love to try that water coaster.

That's the problem with some of the hotels around the area -- it's all really iffy, some can really suck while others are surprisingly nice. Then again, living only 45 minutes away, we don't stay up there in the summer.

[edcrbnsoul]

[macraven]

this happens every year about this time.

 

[TennVolTony]

Isn't this a case of "what have ya done for me LATELY?"

afternoon all!

It has been a crazy day here for me. Running here and there...i am thinking i am a chicken with my head cut off

hey, i just thought of something...i know it is pretty scary when i think i think i owe someone money from the bet. i only lost 6 lbs. Mac--do i owe you the $5.00?

well, i am off to feed yet another baby

 

[macraven]

pam, i lost more than you.
i'll pm you the amount.

if i posted it here, everyone would call me a fatty.........


tell me the start date of the contest.
i have to look at my curves chart and see what they have on that date.
i think i started my diet right before the group did and want to give you the correct loss amount.

 

[pkasbohm]

mac--i don't remember the start date. I just remember that we were going till july 4th or something like that.


I got my laptop back today!!! I am on it right now and i have to say...i hope it keeps working

 

[keishashadow]

an arrow straight to my heart , i still remember a foggy day when we met in a playoff game many years ago...yinz guys must've used radar to catch a pass; could hardly see the ball. Always wondered if those were standard playing conditions.

i'm glad we finally got one for the thumb

mac - nothing better than thumping on the chest getting ready for some football action. HS team training camp already started...hut-hut.

tony - no argument, Hank earned his title the hard way! Old school classy guy, how'd you score his pic?

imo feeding them's better than cleaning them.

Do we have to add the pounds we gained back after the initial loss

On a golf course....where else !!

 

[pkasbohm]

I can't talk trash about any football teams because I'm just NOT into football I know you can all shoot me now because everyone around here can't believe it either I am a disgrace


It has been grand central station around here today with all trent's friends coming and going. Dave was just commenting how it is just going to get worse too Don't know if i am looking forward to that.


Guess I will be headed up to couciltucky aka council bluffs IA tonight with one of my friends...seems she wants to get a pedicure..good thing i haven't painted my tootsies yet


Have a good evening everyone...i'm off to feed yet another baby...my job is never done

 

[mickey4ver]

Pam, I'm a disgraced with ya....not into football either...never have been

I would owe someone $5 too, I lost a little, but not much......I'm starting the week out well, veggies and fruit..

 

[macraven]

[TennVolTony]

WAKE UP EVERYBODY !! IT'S VACATION EVE!!!

I'm gonna leave Mac in charge of the wake up calls for the next few days. Sweet and I will be playing at Disney so you folks behave !! See ya next week !!

 

[mickey4ver]

Good morning glory's.....oh my, it is SO humid here, feels like we are in Florida and supposed to reach 100 degrees or so today.... I hate it....

Not much happening...fell asleep early, woke up about an hour later and slept very restlessly all night long...so I'll be dragging my tail around 2 this afternoon. I hate when I can't sleep, and it gets worse cause I start to think about the fact that I have to get up in a few hours

Hope you enjoy your company Tony, it sounds like fun. As mac always requests, pictures please

Can I just say, I wish I was born wealthy??

 

[keishashadow]
