This takes a minute to load....but once you start clicking the options to the left....it's mesmerizing in a really CREEPY way!

I've been to their museum a couple of times.....very cool.

I've been to their museum several times also. We live next door to the falls and it's there. I had a picture taken with the tallest woman in the world when i was about 19. She was tall!! LOL!

I used to watch the show back in the day when it was hosted by Jack Palance and his daughter (I believe) Holly. I think it was much better back then than when it started airing on TBS.

Yeah....but Dean Keene is SEXY! (I think that's his name....the guy who played superman on tv)

Dean Cain

Thanks. It's bad when you don't even remember the names of men you think are hot. I'm terrible with names. Maybe THAT's why I give everyone nicknames....as per another thread.

Im the same way, though i remember famous people, just not people i meet...which can be embarassing.

I live on the beaches in FLorida....that's a too close to home possibility shark pic for me! I used to be on that site's mailing list. I guess during one of my many puter rebuilds....I lost it. THanks for posting it.

I was more bothered by the monk burning himself in protest pic. :-(

I live on the Eastern Shore of MD and went to school in FL so I'm used to pretending sharks aren't really there LOL

Awwww....you put up a little 'FayeFairyBelle'.....hehehehe!

I live in the Jacksonville, FL area.....but come from Gainesville, FL area.

Fayebelle · 12-17-2004, 12:13 PM

I love fairies!

I went to school in Kissimmee LOTS OF TOURISTS!! Which made sense since I was going for my travel and tourism degre LOL

Merika · 12-17-2004, 12:25 PM

Oh....that's a GREAT area. Actually, you can buy fabulous homes in Kissimmee and Clermont for a really good price. With the whole Disney bonanza....Kissimmee got a little crowded......but it's still a nice area to live and raise kids.....plus I'm a SUCKER for these parks.

BTW: My 15 year old daughter was asked to sing at the Epcot tree lighting last night. It was on TV....and I hope someone in my family taped it for me. I was at another school band concert my younger son was in.

Fayebelle · 12-17-2004, 12:27 PM

Oh how sweet! I hope someone taped it- perhaps you could check w/whoever organized the event. Good for her!

Merika · 12-17-2004, 12:38 PM

Yeah....we were going to try to get one song so Duke could host it on here. She posts on here as Isis....and used to post regularly....but now she is in love with a BOY! GEEZ!

Fayebelle · 12-17-2004, 12:47 PM

HA! We took my 13 yr old cousin to the mall last wkend to go Christmas shopping and I mistakenly turned her loose w/my BF! She bought a $40 video game for her friends/crush! I was all over my BF like "What were you thinking!?" He's like "I don't know how things work for a 13 yr old girl!"

I hope the boy likes it!
