Well it was MY NEMISIS who threw down the gauntlet...so who else should pick it up and smite him with it.

At least your nemesis is not in WDW right now making you jealous with each passing day :rotfl2: Not that I'm bitter or anything:confused3

So Steve if your nemesis drinks a Dole Whip for you, is that a good or a bad thing?

Any word on the Scwabs?

Any Dole Whip is a good Dole Whip!:worship:

Allison was moved back into a reguarl room this evening. Yesterday evening was Prom and the local news did an interview with her and Dale. I have tried to find it on line to post here. So far I have not located it. She did a good job and is keeping her spirits up. The community had the spaghetti dinner yesterday at the Grand March for Prom and raised another 6k. Our church bought her an ipad so she could use skype when she feels like it and communicate with family not at hospital and they are also going to try to live feed the cantata this week to her. She was supposed to be in it. I have not heard when her surgery has been rescheduled for. Jacob was discharged from the hospital yesterday and is staying with some other family. He and Dale went to Grand March and when they came in the place went up in a roar to see him and that he was out of the hospital. Andrew and Jonathan both had dates from the Prom and their dates both carried a rose in honor of Richard. I really appreciate you asking and everyone continuing to pray for them.



And Look who owns the page....I guess Chris being in WDW does have some advantages:rotfl2:
 
Headed out to Worlds of Fun for Opening Day today. It rained, and temps plummeted, overnight last night, so our plan to be there at rope drop was altered. Instead, we waited to leave home until i got up past 50 degrees.

We didn't get to the park until about 1 p.m., so we didn't have long at the park before we were butting up against Squeaker's need for a nap. But The Bug and I did get to enjoy the three biggest roller coasters she's ever ridden.

First, we hit Mamba. It's got a 205-foot initial drop and reaches 75 mph. It doesn't do any loops, but the speed and rise/drop sequence generates a really powerful sense of weightlessness.

Next up was a "classic" - the only coaster in the park that's still there from my last visit to Worlds of Fun back in the early 90's. We rode The Timberwolf, an old-style wooden coaster with a 95-foot first drop and the roughest, creakiest, ride in the West. It reminds me a bit of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, without the theming and with more up and down rather than spiral motion.

The last ride we managed to get in before Squeaker melted down was Patriot. That was the coolest coaster I've ever ridden. It's inverted, and includes a series of seven loop-type elements during its 2 minute 18 second duration - an 89-foot vertical loop, a zero-gravity roll, an Immelmann loop, an inclined banked curve, an s-curve, a corkscrew, and a high-speed spiral. It was seriously intense! And we've still got three more new coasters to check out on our next trip out. :thumbsup2

Wow that's great news on all fronts. I'll continue to keep them in my prayers though.

Hey all...just wanted to check in and let you know that we arrived in Daytona safe and sound.

Weather is perfect...85 and sunny with a breeze off the ocean.

And BigTex...I'm enjoying a Shin Bock right now...tasting really good after being in a car for 17 hours on 4 hours of sleep! :thumbsup2

Just getting caught up for today. Mmmm... Shiner Bock!

Hope weather stays great for your trip.
