Hey, Gatordad. I am a Miami Hurricanes fan and I noticed that we will play you on September 6, 2008. But going by last year I think that we are going to get killed. Anyway GO CANES!

ok.

 

[PolynesianPixie]

You all be careful!!!!! Make sure you check back in and let us know you are ok!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Great time to fly a kite.....but seriously, ya'll take care of yourselves. This planets weather is schizophrenic in comparison to the planet Im from.

Question for some of you who live in FL..or have visited these areas. My older son is looking to get a way in May to a warm FL. Beach.(trying to talk us into going also..but my younger guy has school) Considering Long Boat Key..which appears to have mostly condo rentals(we actually rented one years ago..but it appears alot has changed) and how do you know what's a good one?..or Clearwater(flights from L.I. to that area are pretty inexpensive)..and we are confused by what is Clearwater and Clearwater beach..both advertise having beach front resorts. He is looking to stay on the Gulf. Any suggestions?

My dsl is still acting up, so if you don't hear from me don't worry, the service dept said it will be up to 10 days great

 

[clkelley]

Things have calmed down considerably weather wise around here. Just cloudy now.

 

[clkelley]

Ooops, spoke too soon. Here comes the rain again.

 

[RvUsa]

Ok, now it's working fine. Actually faster than it has been in months ????

I wonder if they fixed it?

On another note, I am doing the happy dance, I actually made more than 5 cents on the site today, someone musta looked at one of the adds on the forum.... now if I could just keep that guy from the bahamas from posting pics from his porn site... gotta figure out the security part of it LOL.

Thank you to all of you who come over and play in my sandbox once in a while. My little indian buddy almost has the form ready to make it so you guys can add campgrounds to my map and list.

John...you had porn on your site????? Damn porn peddler!!!!


I click the adds everytime I hit your board/
John...have you guys added a link to the home page from the forums yet? That would be helpful in sending more traffic to the site versus someone getting lost on the forum board.

whew. it was a close one all the bad weather passed 5 miles to the south of us. still more to come. lost the phones for a while. I actually missed my dial-up. LOL . thanks for prayers and concerns and advice. .Denise

Hope everyone is getting through the storms OK....

Wow, only 50 posts since I left last night. Somethings wrong.

Hey John, I saw the rotten post that guy put up. Is there any way you can restrict availability of the extra features (posting html/pics/etc) until a user has a certain number of posts?

 

[CampingChristy]

Maybe not, I think it's releasing it's energy on us. I see one of the cells went north of where I work and they are reporting damage in that area. I just hope I get home and have a home to go back to.

In all seriousness my prayers are with you and yours!!!

 

[clkelley]

We've got sunshine again

 

[clkelley]

Kewl, I just got a coupon from Rainforest Cafe for a free Volcanoooooo!!!!!!

Glad your ok,we seemed to miss most of it in west knox. DH was flying in from Cincinatti today(landed safe at 545pm ) so I was watching these storms all day. He said flight was bumpy but not bad.
Anyway it seems we dodge the bullet today with the storms

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Sunshine AND a free Volcano?????

Phyllis -

I lived in the west coast area for 30+ years. Instead of Longboat Key - which is way too expensive & the beaches are over-rated and most are private, or Clearwater Beach which is way too jam-packed with condos, tell your son to go a little further south to either Anna Maria Island (Bradenton) or Siesta Key (Sarasota). Anna Maria is a very quaint area with good, laid back restaurants & a very pretty beach. Siesta Key beach is the most beautiful beach anywhere, bar none! It has won international acclaim. The restaurants on Siesta Key are a little more upscale (no flip-flops & cut offs), but there are plenty of those kind of places on the mainland, just a little ways away.

A little further south of Siesta Key are Venice Beach & Manasota Key (Englewood). Both of these areas are very quaint & laid back, too.

I really don't recommend Longboat Key or Clearwater Beach to anyone. One's too snooty & the other is too crowded.
