Lol we are not supposed to teach that anymore. kids are in far more danger from non- strangers.
That like a huge no no to say at my new job. people freak out when i say it.......so now i say it on purpose to mess with them

Yeah, that might have been the biggest mistake made with the best intent I've seen in my lifetime. Kids raised on stranger danger are afraid to go to an adult for help (which was the advice before that campaign started, "If you get lost, ask an adult for help.").

Actually, I think it is because nature loves me...it follows me everywhere trying to impress me....but it actually didn't try and impress me when I drove the 27,000 miles to Williamsburg, Virginia....Which I found rather distressing

OK, I admit it....it is not so much a mud allergy as I am mud intolerant

You know, allergies already have plenty of bad rep - they don't need your slandering them like that.

In Alfred Bester's "The demolished man", natural disasters and weather extremes on Earth have been engineered out of existence. So, there is like this enormous amusement park in space, broken down into segments with various flora, fauna, and climates. People go there when they want to get maximum natural interaction. All you are allowed to take with you are things you can carry, including a personal forcefield generator in case the wildlife decides to get up close and personal. No cars are allowed, helicopters are only for emergencies. If you want fire - you gather your own firewood and rub two sticks together or use flint. If you want fishing - you make your own fishing rod and dig your own worms. And so on. I found it an interesting concept.

Mrs Xue and I go on vacation every year and generally at some point she starts talking about the possibility of retiring there. However when we get back home her view is; she beens there already and has no desire to return. On to the next place for vacation.

We were just in Phoenix and the same retirement discussion occurred, per usual, but this time, now that we are home, she is saying she would not mind going back..... of all the places we've been, she decides she wants to go back to the place that can be 136 degrees Fahrenheit, with scorpions, blister beetles, rattle snakes and tarantulas.....

Well... look at the bright side. There is no snow. And no trees for bears to hide behind.

Well done! A reminder to all - never be misled by a pretty girl with a sparkly belt on.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Haha ah fair enough, and thanks for the heads up!

And WOW that was really cool, definitely alot of athleticism in that performance!!

Georgians have an amazing dancing tradition too. Their male dances are also very athletic, and women's dances are SO beautiful - they look like they are floating.

Fishing!!!! with a pole and worms!?

That makes no sense.....dynamite and automatic weapons is the way to go for fishing

And a lot, I mean a lot of Cactus....now I don't mind cactus.... I actually like them..... but one jumped me while I was there....one of those sneaky, underhanded organ pipe cactus jumped me.....they are by far no where near as fine and upstanding...and trustworthy...as the stately Saguaro. Ahhh the Saguaro...so fine and upstanding...looks so huggable......but you really shouldn't hug one....its a cactus

This could be a new standard for being really, really lonely and/or desperate. "I was so alone I was ready to hug a cactus!"

Geez, what exactly do you go fishing for? Leviathan? Moby Dick?

Oh, wait... I guess I was wrong about the snow. This is two days ago in Arizona.

 

[AngryHobbit]

No, no, no... you are confused. This is not fishing. This is the latest installment of the Darwin Award competition.

Oh, wait... I guess I was wrong about the snow. This is two days ago in Arizona.

They had record snowfall for one day in Flagstaff, the day after I drove trough, about 33 inches. Before it was done Flagstaff had 40 inches of snow. There was a news story of a guy looked out his window and saw the snowstorm, and decided to go to the store to stock up. By the time he got out of the store the roads were closed and he was stranded. I was in Phoenix and they had record rainfall for one day, that same day, a bit over an inch and really close to where I was, North Scottsdale got 6 inches of snow

That's why you use dynamite and automatic weapons......oh and its the same for trout and small mouth bass too

She's clearly trying to keep your mud allergy in mind...

 

[Xue Sheng]

Well....good night MT...wherever you are

Sheesh, what did trout and small mouth bass ever do to you?!

Just... stop going places. Just stop.

Hay usage is up 25-30% in TN due to high rainfall this winter.
