Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

[RvUsa]

Ok guys, and girls, I spent all day putting campgrounds into the site. If you guys dont mind being my guinea pig, go check it out, and see if it looks ok, I got all the campgrounds that were listed in a public source for the east coast. I know there are millions more, but I will add as I go. I am not going to tell you how to get to them, you tell me if you could figure it out. Here is the home page RvUsa.Org

I appreciate the help, I am just trying to make a webpage to provide info for people like us, who love to camp.

Easy to use. Looking good!!!! But didn't see FW in the Florida list?!?!?

 

[RvUsa]

I just coppied the campgrounds from an open source called dmoz, its a user edited search page. If someone from the fort didn't add it, then it wouldn't be on there

That being said, OF COURSE THE FORT WILL BE THERE, actually it has it's own page somewhere on site, I just have to organize some more.


LOL

Thanks for looking

Looks good. But you have forgot all about TEXAS. We have campgrounds to.

I'm working on it, just trying to get the first ones looking good and working, then its just copy and paste, with differnt campgrounds.


Right now I am trying to get google maps working on my site, so you can see where each campground is in each state. Google's instructions may as well be written in greek, I am lost

Thanks for looking

I am just messin with you. Your site looks nice and I dont have a clue how to make a website.

I just called Disney today, had to wait for about 30 minutes but when I finally got through, I got to add an extra day to our trip, no problem. So I am going to take it from that fact, that the world may not be "packed" while we are there, especially considering, that we got a ressie to le cellier less than 1 month out... and got every other ressie we wanted no problem.

Now if I could just get the weather to be perfect.... and I could win the lottery, and loose a bunch of weight, and the pain would just go away, we would have a perfect vacation.

But I will take what I got and be VERY happy

John -

I just checked out your website! Looks great I also signed up for the "On The Road..." newsletter. Can't wait for the 1st one to come!

Do you plan on creating links to RV communities? We have quite a few here in FL. Also, membership campgrounds - in case anyone is interested. I'm not, but I'm sure there are those who might be.

Thanks-
Deb

Thanks, I will, I have a little note book and write down everyones ideas, and as I get to them I will put them in. Right now, I am making the google maps for each state that will have the little push pins for each campground, so you know where they are. Right now, the list isn't very helpful, it just takes a bunch of time LOL

I appreciate everyones input, you kind of loose prespective on something when you stare at it for hours and hours. I had a friend tell me some of my formatting doesn't look right, looks fine on my comp, but he said that some of them are all smashed together.

If anyone wants me to shut up, just tell me. I just got tired of having to search dozens of sites to find the camping info I needed, so I am trying to put it all in one spot. I'm never gonna make money at it, but it keeps me busy, and gives me a purpose, which for me sometimes is hard. I have severe osteo arthritis, as well as some other things, and it seems it is harder and harder to find things to keep the pain off my mind. And for the last couple of weeks the webpage is doing the trip, (the disboards help alot too. Planning for the upcoming trip has been great, but every day, I get more and more worried about how I am going to do at the parks...etc.

Ok nuff rambling, talk to you later

John-

Ya gotta do whatever it takes to keep your mind off of pain!! (Physical or emotional) In your quest for peace - you're doing a great service to fellow campers by creating and maintaining your website. If people think you're talking too much about it - they have the choice not to read what you have to say. Personally - I think you're pretty cool & have given a lot of good advice to a lot of people here.

In regards to "doin' the parks" on your trip ... rent an ECV & to heck with what anyone else thinks. Just refer to it as your personal golf cart that you're not required to share with anyone else!!!

I have the utmost respect for people like you who have to deal with constant pain. I've had a taste of it lately and I really feel for you! I hope it won't interfere with your vacation!

As for posting about your website, keep them coming!!!! You are doing us all a service and if it helps you in the process, than what could be better?! I feel honored that I can share in the birth of this concept!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

OK. I just have to share. It has been a day! An exhausting, crazy day. My DD6 decided to let her curiosity get the best of her this morning. My DD11 has a severe allergy to bees and requires an Epi-pen. I keep them accessible because you never know when you're going to need one- pronto! Anyway, DD6 got the one I keep in the kitchen and snuck off to check it out while I was fixing breakfast. All of a sudden I heard screams! And found Annalise with this epi-pen attached to her thumb. When I say attached I mean it! It had gone into her bone and got stuck there! I yanked it out, called 911 and we both sat hyper ventilating on the kitchen floor! The ambulance came and the paramedics made sure she was stable. We spent the morning at the hospital having x-rays and such. The needle may have fractured her thumb, we still don't know. The good thing about it going into the bone was that it stopped the epinephrine from going in very much, so it didn't interfere with her breathing or heart. We are both feeling a bit drained now.

 

[Gatordad]

hey this is the useless fact thread, not the squeamish thread.... get your own.

In a serious note, I hope mom and baby are fine. Maybe you should have Sister Alabaster pray for them, lol.

 

[PolynesianPixie]

I think we're going to live. Annalise is handling it much better than I am. My head is still spinning and my legs feel like jello. After the paramedics checked her out and determined that she would be ok, I told them they needed to check my pulse oxy now!

 

[Colson39]

Glad to hear it only turned into a mini-disaster

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Glad to hear it only turned into a mini-disaster

Thanks! Me, too!

 

[RvUsa]

WOW, really glad to hear everything worked out ok!!!

I am sure we are all sending you a "mental" kungaloosh I bet you could use one after the day you have had.

And thanks for the words of encouragement, it means a lot. I counted today, I think I have over 350 campgrounds listed allready... only 2500 to go LOL, this is gonna take a while. On a good note, I got the google map thing kinda working, I put 1 up for Pa, cuz thats where I am, I am going to make it so you can just click on a thumb tack on the state and go to that campground.

 

[terri01p]

I wanted to do a campground review of Pirateland in Myrtle Beach and Ocean Lakes in Myrtle beach but couldn't get it to take, RvUsa what's up with that .
