They stole my phone...

Selfies I have tons of, but not of me. If my daughter gets hold of my phone, it is not one or two pics normally. It's 30+. She has gotten my mom involved, too. I will never have a shortage of pics of either if them. she also loves to hijack my Facebook status at times. I get even though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The kid has not been convicted therefore he may not be dumb. He may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, he could be set up, he could be framed. Perhaps he is ignorant and just did not understand, perhaps he truly did steal the money. As for the time being, he is innocent. Perhaps he is the scapegoat. How can someone justify it being okay to steal?! Really? Parking is expensive, however, it is not so extreme people will not pay it. Paying for parking adds income into the parks budget. It helps pay for roads to be paved (I agree with one post about the lack of that at KI). It helps pay for jobs. If you take that money, it will do one or all of three things. It keeps people from getting jobs, losing jobs because the income was lost or no raises/cut in hours. General improvements and upkeep of property would suffer at some point. Plus, that loss of income will eventually be passed on to the consumer which means another increase in parking. While some may think that the park is bringing in money hand over fist, it is their money. Since it is their money, I ( or anyone else) does not have a right to steal it regardless of how much money they generate. They have to pay employees, utility bills, insurance, maintenance, upkeep of property, training, cleaning crews, etc. they pay for new rides to be built as well. What does not belong to you simply does not belong to you. If you have $10. I have $0. I take that $10 from you because you have more money than me is that okay? I can justify it that you have more money than me and I make less than you, maybe I need gas in the car and bread. Does that make it acceptable for me to take it from you? No. I don't see how it can be acceptable to steal from a company and not another individual. Theft is also illegal. He should be punished IF he did it. He should be tried if they suspect it. If they suspect it, he should lose his job. If they find out he is innocent of stealing that money, there is possibly enough doubt in other areas to not hire him again. And last but not least, if he did steal the money, chances are he would have stolen much more than what they suspect him of. He would have taken a dollar or two here and there to test the waters, then three or four bucks here and there. Thieves typically do not start out full force to see how much they can get. (I used to be an auditor in a company with several retail locations, we were taught how to steal essentially, how to watch for it, how it is easily done, how it can be hid, red flags to watch out for, etc.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dollywood 2009 We arrived at the park and our first stop is the restroom. I go to wash my hands, I was welcomed by this: Ironically, she loves owls now. Love the eagle habitat I was told this is going away (or has gone away). I thought this was fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure why, but I didn't take many pics at Cedar Point. June 2013. I think it is partly because I went to be a chaperone for our youth group. The rule was a group of three if all boys or all girls. If mixed group, then an adult must be present. I ended up with 8 kids in my group. I was told next trip they want me to go because I let them be teens and they had fun. (You can be a Christian and have a blast!) awesome group of kids. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1996. Had to take pics of pics. Cody's 7th birthday!!!! The man and boy on right photobombed before photo bombing was cool. . Left to right are godsons Jason (now 22) Nick (now 24) and my son Cody (now 24). Trying to get brave...and taller How things have changed! Not a great pic, but a favorite. Adventure Express. Closest to me on right is my son. The one on the left is Jason. The one in front of Jay is Nick. As we are getting ready to get in line, Nick asks me if this is a scary ride. I pointed to Vortex. I said, see that ride? He says yes. I say that ride does not scare me, so no, *I* do not find this ride scary at all. Well it convinced him to get on the ride. (That and his mom bribed him with Smurf ice cream that he has yet to receive.) the entire ride Nick screams at the top of his lungs, "LORA LIED TO ME!!!!!" (No, I didn't. You asked me if I thought the ride was scary, not if I though YOU would find it scary) bwahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2013 THE night of the year!!! Banshee announcement August 8, 2013. July 5. Katie and her friend Sarah ate insane amounts of cotton candy this day. The only time either of my children got sick at the park. Katie n Sarah, Ed and dancers Loved this show, great music selection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2011 was very bad year health wise for me. I rode very few rides due to excessive pain, at times resorting to being pushed in a wheelchair. The scariest ride in the park is being pushed in a wheelchair by a 14 year old. Very happy. This ride was stuck for quite a bit. Thankfully my daughter was not on this ride. Of course she was in line and rode it as soon as it started going again. She rode this several times this trip. Cute show, I got a rock: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More 2012: Eat more cow! Dinosaurs apparently are obedient to signs to not eat people: Workers didn't say anything. Not my child: My mom is 4 ft 9. Had to get this for her. Storm on the way. Cool pic though Can't wait for next season Nothing like having a monkey on your back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Random 2012 pics: Katie and a friend. What can I say, we love Ed Katie and Sydney Katie and her poopy dog Shawn and Gus (Psych) errr Katie and Shyanne: And we have been blessed to "win" a giant prize. I told Katie IF she won, she would have to carry it herself. I truly did not think she would win. She plowed into people. She got upset with me, I could not stop laughing. 2000 Saturn Station Wagon. We had to lay the back seat down. It is huge. It was a lot of work for them lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because I started looking and could not stop. Katie's bday is July 10. In 2012, she was going to be at camp on her birthday. So, being the nice, sensitive, compassionate mom that I am, I threatened for months (starting in January) I was going to Kings Island on her birthday. I met Katelynn that day and her mom Amber. Changed my life meeting them. I still keep in touch with them. Some kid in line at Diamondback. Random kid outside the restroom: My friend Corey: The dinosaur: Me and Snoopy: Ed Alonzo. He was truly awesome. He signed it "where are you?!" I told him I would bring her back on Saturday. So we went back on Saturday. I walked up to him and said I was here earlier in the week, he responds, "where's the birthday girl?" Then told her how mean I am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since I found more pics, this is 2008 My cousin Sandy and I: Katie taking driving much more serious than me: My cousins step son, when you gotta go you gotta go: Some days you gotta dance: RIP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congo Falls, he got wet. "Read my lips": She was a soggy chick: He was raised by wolves: She is trying to give directions? A side note with this pic, because it's truly amazing what looking at pics will do with memories. It was the last trip to KI I went on with my friend Robbie. He was drinking and driving and died. :'(. This is his niece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is one of my favorite pictures of Kaitlyn. She was really just caught up in loving being at Kings Island. She used to love riding this. I nearly have to beg her to ride it now. I can't tell from my phone, but believe she has rabbit ears. This is my son, Cody. This is the assault of Kaitlyn pics. Blue trying to strangle her: Tommy trying to get fresh (from her body language it looks like she was goosed) Jimmy looks like he bonked her in the head: Patrick spouted a new arm for a sneak attack perhaps. She apparently felt safe with Chucky: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will do this from home tonight. I will say that these are two trips in 2007. One is in May (Katie in pink top and Cody in blue) and the other in August (Katie in the red top and Cody in brown). The August trip was blazing hot. I wish I could find all the pics I took on our trips that summer. It has been one of our favorite summers at Kings Island. We dubbed it, "the year of sneaking mullet pictures." I had captured over 100 pics of 100 different people with mullets in one visit to Kings Island. For some reason, I cannot locate the mullet shots and have no idea why there were so many mullets that day. My son will also be featured.

Had a malfunction. Will post pics shortly. The pics are quite funny (in my opinion.)

Yes, you read that right. I was going through pics and found some from a trip in 2007. The pics are funny to me. Jimmy looks like he smacked Katie upside the head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let me see what I can do to upload them. I have them on Photobucket.com Is there an easy way to upload them from that site? Here is a link to my page, but not sure if you have to friend me on there to view it. http://s166.photobucket.com/user/lora_from_indy/media/Kings%20Island%202013%20Closing%20Day/KingsIsland370.jpg.html

I think i actually caught several shots one right after the other, but was afraid to overkill the thread.

I wondered if it was standard practice for them to do. Take down a sign to protect it from the winter elements. With all seriousness, I am thinking that they will rename it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would like King Cobra with different seats. I could not get the them to adjust low enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
