If you see two tiny old ladies with big handbags lurking in Planet Snoopy, that's just me and my cousin. She has a permanent inner disorder and the Planet Snoopy rides are all she can muster. We like to wait for yhe spare chair, so we don't take some kid's place.Edit to add: I hit the wrong quote button. My big ole Slappy Squirrel purse musta got in the way.

I just did, also. That would be fun addition. It would be good to have some mid-range rides for kids who are "too old" for some of the Planet Snoopy rides, but too short for the big, daring rides.

I was surprised that both of the Snowman's feet lifted. It's a small thing, but a cute innovation. His legs are so short, it's possible. Most animatronics need at least one limb anchored to run the wiring up the leg- I guess Olaf just has a pole in his back.

You've never had to learn digital animation, have you?

This is what happened to my cousin who was next to me at the time. With hands up, the force of going through the helix knocked his arms sideways and he got it to the hand. He's 6'3". I heard him say something in surprise at the time and when we got off, there was the smackmark.We checked for splinters, then went onto the next ride.

I.Am. So. Old! I thought of moonshiners. (and now I see Blondierideson thought the same thing, and is much younger.) I would be more than amused to see a reboot of the antique cars with Robert Mitchumesque hotrod open top jalopies, with Thunder Road theming. I haven't been to the this year to see how much of the trees had been taken away, though not fault of those providing pictures, so I don't know the space which has been altered.

No. Because when the tram driver told me not to walk back to my Disney campsite after dark, he said there were gators. I was at Disney, I thought he was joking. Maybe he was. This was back in mid- 70's. It's all so themey- when he said that, I thought if anything it would be a guy in costume going "Tick Tock".

Some things you should just keep to your bowling buddies, if that. Facebook for me is to just 'ooh' and 'aah' over other peoples' dogs, and in like, let them 'ooh' and 'aah' over mine.Who the heck puts their bathtub soak thoughts where everyone can see them? In a way, it's good to know his inner Hyde. .I'm all for freedom of speech, but which job you choose is up to you, and if the job has a social media policy, follow it. There's a reason. Also- sorry if I can't get this to hyperlink, but an article on the AR-15 and gun owners' reaction to it. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2016/0617/What-AR-15-owners-say-about-their-guns-and-the-Orlando-shooting It shines a light on why people like them, And at least opens a door on their reasoning.I'm in the camp that 1) thinks it is ugly, 2) it's like using a cannon to kill a flea, 3) cannot understand some of the interviewees' appreciation of it, 4) do not want.

Upstop, I'm not 'liking' that, not because you personally, or the informative post- I don't like the information. (Pssst- law enforcemenr, check the relatives' rec room basements.)

Oh dear. I'll go get my Boot Scoot sewing patterns out of storage.

Hahaha- okay. I guess I'd have to wear a Garth Brooks muti-fabric number featuring stars and stripes. And yes, I've gone into some stores that are super unpleasant. Maybe I'm being a snob, or maybe the vibe I get is fair warning. I understand that all of the shops should have the background checks going, but if, as a store owner, you don't clean the glass of your range windows, you might be lax in other departments. There is a bit Good Buddy Syndrome that I don't like in some dealers. You've all seen it- they're hip. Obviously, I don't believe in everyone being handed a gun on their tenth birthday, and I certainly don't believe in total bans. I distinctly remember having to take a driver's ed course before I dominated my family's maroon station wagon with faux wood paneling. People are always comparing guns and cars, but the analogy of responsible education for both are totally lost in the fray. I see dad's taking to their daughters to the gun range all the time, the same as dads and daughters on the road when she gets her temp license. The CCL classes take time, and understanding the laws. I would simply prefer people learn to use them before they buy them. Edit to add: about gun store etiquette- If a gun store clerk talks to the man and not the lady with the money and perfect target grouping, he shouldn't be in the business. Don't ignore the lady, because she's the one buying.

It would have been Incredibly Boring, but I would have like to have seen the whole process of the purchase, including the background check, of course, omitting the guy's personal information, because on gun rules, I am a stickler. (For some reason, the video of the 15 year old buying a gun is giving me hassle, I couldn't see it.) I once walked into a gun show, and immediately walked back out. It's not just the hunters who don't bathe that bothered me, but there was just a seedy vibe to the whole gig that I felt I needed to get out. There's another gun shop around here that is so shoddy and whiskey drenched, I couldn't stand in it for five minutes. Frankly, in both places, I feared that my head might be blown off. I'd heard an advertisement on a podcat to "be a gun dealer in your home". No. I do think there's a middle ground beyond the political catchphrases where common sense is involved. To be honest, I would prefer people get their CCL license before a gun purchase. It's possible. I go to a gun range that rents guns to shoot on the range, and I took my test with a Beretta 92FS, before I purchased gun one. To have the license that says you've learned gun safety before you waltzed in and grabbed up all the weapons would at least weed out the ones that are rashly buying for emotional reasons. Ohio is "Open Carry" which means I can parade up and down my street with a Mossberg Shotgun wearing naught but a stragically placed American flag. I'm not happy about Open Carry, because it can deter people from getting their CCL, and also, my one person parade wouldn't be deadly, but what about the meth head one block over parading with his Remington?

Hopefully, it's just a case of the fluids in the ear drying out; it does so with age, sadly, men more than women. (I vote along with the rest, a doctor's visit is best.) The man I married went through a bout in his late thirties of motion sickness on rides, and the park is really a big thing for us. We had about five rides that were hunky dory, and the rest were on the 'no' list. All I can imagine is over time, another part of his brain compensated for the drying inner ear fluid, because he can take on even rides like the Monster, now. I am NOT a doctor, so I'll never be sure what happened. CoasterOhio, It might be a good idea for you to see a doctor, too, as I, too, went through a series of blackouts on my favorite rides. For me, it was low blood sugar, and having had it solved made a lot of things better in life, though the only symptom I noticed was the blackouts. (I was lucky to be seated (Standing?) next to a nurse on the King Cobra when I went through the helix- then woke up to the sudden stop. And yes, I'm grateful to the restraint system they had on the ride.)

I have no desire for an AK, every bullet has a trajectory, and I'm not Angelina Jolie, I can't change the path of the bullet. Considering my focus on the path of one bullet, I can't imagine the brain cells it would take to master tracking a spray of them. I think AK's are a very irresponsible weapon. Especially since time at the range would perfect one's aim to using only a few bullets, if that. I think there's a lot of Lay's Potato Chip thinking when people talk of gun bans. The government never seems to stop at just one, and people are afraid of a domino effect. When newscasters speak banning automatics, they also include semi-automatics, and that's the gun I use for a very specific reason- they are suggesting taking away the gun that's best for my hand strength. And to be honest, that's why I oppose bully breed bans, even though I've had troubles with some bully dogs. I know too many responsible pit owners that would get caught up in the ban, no matter how well behaved their dog is. People are afraid of wide-spreading laws that do not take into account the individual cases. It's difficult to advocate education on a yopic that is an emotional powder keg. In my mind, I can't see anyone wasting their money on an AK, but I can understand peoples' fears of having their guns taken. I own a crossbow, also- winding that sucker back to load is bear, and I don't want to keep it forever loaded by the backdoor- that's dangerous.

I've held off on this converstaion, but it's one that only has two sides, and neither side will be disuaded. This is my viewpoint: I never owned a gun, until a fighting dog tried to crash through my fence. (I say "fighting dog" and not "pit bull"- I have neighbors who have well cared for, well trained pit bulls.) I got inside the house in time, but the dog owner did nothing. Actually, he stood there, in shock. I am 5'2"' 100 pounds, the dog was at least 80 lbs. How do you think that fight would fare if I were not quick enough? i have a right, according to the Magna Carta, to own the backyard I paid for. I also have a right to defend myslf. I bought a gun. It is a semi-automatic. With a metal plate in my wrist, a pistol would be too difficult- I would not be able to fully squeeze the trigger without messing up the plate screws. Two years later, two fighting dogs jumped the other side of the fence. I did not have to shoot. When the dog owners saw the gun, they leapt into action, retrieving their dogs while I herded my dog inside under the protection of my gun. They got a little bit hurt, but I considered to be an occupational hazzard. They looked jaunty weeks after with gauze as headgear- but at least it wasn't me with the gauze chapeau. I use a gun for protection against outside influences that I cannot control. I don't want a bully dog ban, because as I said, there are good bully dog owners out there. I do get a little bothered by the fact that there are people in the world that, basically, wish me dead by taking away my right to defend myself. When people speak of gun bans, they sometimes speak in broad strokes, forgetting the individuals with individual reasons to own a firearm.

And just know I read that some fellow tried to take hostages in an Amarillo, TX. Walmart. He didn't get too far. Shot dead

I get so dumb and numb when things like this happen. Fifty people gone to assuage one man's fragile ego. I'm gonna have to take a few days before I process any articles on it. In my mind, I get stuck on the people for whom the fifty people are gone.

Thank you. And sadly, we've all seen it.

I carry an small Altoid tin for cig butts, but that's just me. I don't like seeing them strewn about, so I don't want to be That Guy. SOBwasaSOB, It irritates me, too, as a smoker, to see someone being cloddish with the rules. it's worse, as a smoker, to inform someone of the designated smoking areas and have them refuse the invitation. It's not that hard to just pay attention to that sign with the cigarette on it. They even have different benches, for sakes. I haven't been to the park in two years, so I don't know what all has changed, but the park is surely doing enough to promote the areas, except maybe corralling them off with little gates to make them more obvious. I do hate the one area SMACK! in the middle of Coney Island. It's just strange compared to the others in out of the way places, so out in the open.

This is an example of what I call a 'bright' child, because when the parents are confronted about the behavior, they usually say something stupid like, "She's a very bright child, we don't like to discourage her from exploring." As said child mashes her her face into the potatoes on my plate. 'Bright' is a nebulous term, unmeasurable, over used, and must be Latin for 'Steamroller of the Soul" because the parents have such a dead look in their eyes as they explain the child's 'brightness'.

Strange train of thought.

Skylab was a bear to load and empty. There was a sideways scuttle involved that made any invention by Suzann Summers redundant.

This is no excuse for them, because of the signs, the announcements, etc., but I think there is an 'Open air' fallacy in their heads. They think just because they are not in an enclosed space, it's okay to smoke. CF went through the trouble of making smoking areas, the least people could do is enjoy them. They aren't a table at thr Russian Tearoom, but it's better than than sloggin along with a lit cigarette in your hand. I don't know why the park employee's just extend the courtesy of the smoking areas.

I have a confession- I absolutely can't stand pet monkeys. I hate their pants, and their attitudes, and their always reaching out for people to give them something. I cannot stand that they are so rude and ill-mannered. But I can watch webcams of those Japanese hot tub momkeys, no problem. If a hot tub monkey baby gets out of line, he gets smacked. Not so with those pet monkey. With all of the businesses letting go their animals. I suspect there's a hole to be filled by running live cams at a safe unobstrusive apce, allowing people to view the animals in the wild.

I'm with you 1000 percent. I once saw five teen girls all standing together at the park, texting. Were they texting each other instead of talking? My job is on computers- when I hang it up for the day, I want to see Real 3D. How do they create the great memories that we have if they don't experience things first hand?
