First of all The Shakes are kinda Minty. I think that they used to be better when McDonalds didn't use real icecream in there shakes. The only think that I warn is everyonce in a wile you may get one that tastes like medicine,not that it is but I got one once and it turned me off for a couple years.

Carey I hope you have a good time adventuring and I look forward to your pics. I hope that you go to florida. I have been to a few places there but never the keys. I think it would be a great time.

damn! i'm missing the shamrock shakes! i'll have to make it to at least London for a pint of Guinness to make up for it.

But yes - FLORIDA. My conference runs March 31- April 4 (at noon). So..I say you get a flight to land around then, I'll head back to the airport with my group, we'll rent a car and adventure to the keys baby!!!

I've never actually had a shamrock shake... what flavour is it anyway? Mint? Or just... green??

pyrcedgrrl - 03/03/07 22:26
I love the drippy one and the sparkles!! Wow, that's a nice camera! :)

metalpeter - 03/03/07 15:52
Nice pictures, I see you got an aspect to the snow that I tried to get in two pictures I took and couldn't. That aspect is the shimeryness or the little sparkles in it.

metalpeter - 03/02/07 19:09
I admit that is kinda odd and kinda scary. I hope that once off of what ever you are sleeping on it wakes you up. I would hate to think about if you had a dream you had to cook dinner but where sleeping on the couch.

the bears in the snow make me want to cry. :(

theecarey - 03/01/07 21:20
haha, (e:brit). I *really* wanted to pet the grizzlies. They look squishy and soft and cuddly and cute. I just want to hug them and kiss them and love them and...

best if i didnt though, huh?

I am totally with ya, (e:metalpeter) - when people do dumb things to get themselves mangled by a wild animal and then the animal gets punished to death for it. :(

I didnt get far into the zoo before the hail/snow/rain began. I did go in to see the elephants as well, but I was too captivated by them to get my camera-phone out-I'll get a variety of pics next time for sure!

mike - 03/01/07 19:30
I got my elephant bracelet! My mom picked it up for me, I love it! I want to save the elephants!! I know it is bad that they are in the zoo I guess but I am glad they are there because I like to see them and stuff. I guess i wish they had a huge refuge but we'll see@

metalpeter - 03/01/07 18:57
I will admit you got my hopes up, I was hoping to see some tiger pics, oh well. You really don't want to go over there as cute as they look they are vicous. Ok I'm about to go on a rant here. You know what really pisses me off is when some dumy or some drunk go into a animal habitat and what that causes. They always go and shot the animal. That is so backwards screw that if mr Joe Cool wants to go swim with the bear then it is his fault he get eatin don't take it out on
the bear. That would be like if I broke into someones house and and as I went to rape the wife the husband son wakes up and protects his wife by smashing something over the guys skull and the charge the son. I'm not talking about when someplaces have a thing where you can feed baby animals that is completely differant. But why would you shot the animal that has done nothing wrong. I can see shoting near the animal to try and get it to go away. But to kill an animal or just really hurt it to save a guy who knew he shouldn't be there and went in there anyways is such a waste. I say shot the guys and maybe if he just lays there the animal will leave him alone.

"look, ron, I'm on a hairy tractor"

Ain't the zoo a hoot this time of year. There is the one outdoor aquatic exhibit that is still inhabited that is a kick as well.

brit - 03/01/07 17:54
don't cuddle the grizzly bears!

leetee - 03/01/07 14:03
Yay! We heart elephants!

theecarey - 03/01/07 21:12
(e:metalpeter) I was soooo trying to remember what what you told me last year! You are right, you did give me advice. I can only remember something about knees above skiis, or in my case, skiis above knees, lol. I will have to write down what you said :) I'' get the hang of it- or I can learn not to fall!! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me!


(e:pyrcedgrrl) -- you are welcome to join me ANYTIME. You can even borrow my skiis. I'll trail behind you in my boots, camera ready... mwuahahahahhahaha >:P

metalpeter - 03/01/07 18:47
I remember a post like this is the past. I guess I didn't give you good enough lessions on how to get up from a fall. I used to X country ski. First of if at all posible your skis need to wind up facing sideways to the hill. That way when you do stand up your skis and you don't go down the incline or is that decline. You need to see where your body is in comparison to your feet and skis. From there move your body or usaly eiser to move your legs so that you are in a simalur position to sitting on the edge of a bed or even a couch or chair. The important thing is that both knees and feet are not behind, or are infront of your upper body. As long as they are you can push up with your legs like you in a chair at the same time use your ski poles and arms to make sure your skis stay flat on the ground and pareall to each other. This would be so much eiser to show ya then tell ya. Hay kinda sounds like a fun (or maybe not, not sure) game for a future e;strip party. I can picture my self standing there and you knocking me over and saying how do you get up with skis again. That being said if you hit your head and are disoriented undoing the skies is much eiser stay safe and have a great time.

pyrcedgrrl - 03/01/07 14:45
I would SOOO pay to see that!
