“near” Disney World. Miles away from Disney World

Yes, 5 air miles, about 7 driving miles from Disney's Wild Kingdom Animal Park. Miles away.

and ###holes in Marthas Vinyard

Be careful of that big one there in the $800.00 canvas sneakers, it might "inhale" you.

Well played, Sir!

[foundedonpurpose]

Can this happen in Washington? I will pray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had they fracked the area, they might have saved the bldgs by reinforcing the substructure with hydrodynamic pressure.

The Lord don't like it here
No Name City, No Name City
Your reckoning day is near
No Name City, No Name City
Here's what He's gonna do
Gobble up this town and swaller it down
And goodbye to you"

LOL!!!

[riri]

Me too. I was saying the whole place should sink. (:

I was saying the whole place should sink.

I'll say an extra prayer that your home is destroyed soon too. Idiot.

I have had that fantasy.

Clermont’s within a few miles of the highest part of peninsular Florida... Our mountain range so to speak - - ‘Sugarloaf’ mountain is 300 feet above sea level and it’s near Clermont....

Would you get a refund if this was your timeshare?
Or would the maintenance fee skyrocket!!

Would you get a refund if this was your timeshare was in this building?

Down near Gainesville, Florida there is the Devil’s Millhopper. It is, I think 120 or so feet deep and has streams of water going down the sides and an itty bitty rain forest in the bottom of it.

[arthurus]

That is in the middle of the Great Flatte Mountains of the Central Florida Cordillera.

[riri]

Oh, I was joking. Relax.

[plain talk]

you left out pythons which are a huge problem in the everglades now.

[ponygirl]

LOL... that was funny

I have been SO impressed with the peaches and plums and oranges this year. All that rain last fall and spring has really made a difference. Not only are they huge (which usually huge means bland), but they are SO tasty!

Bought half dozen mangoes peaches, plums, batch of strawberries and blueberries and had to go back the next day. Never had my family attack fruit like that, but once one kid heard the other moaning over it, they had to have one and on and on, LOL.

And the veggies too! The cucumbers are huge so flavorful! Squash and Zuchini.

The farmers market is my favorite place nowadays. Oh and don’t get me started on the MELONS!

Now, I had a garden in Georgia and there was nothing like it, I promise, but I also couldn’t some of the things I can get down here.

The same is true for New Orleans and everything south of Lake Pontchatrain. The Gulf WILL reclaim it. Everything below the continental shelf WILL erode.
