metalicwx366 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 What was the weather like in 1997? Apparently some think the developing El Nino could rival or get stronger than the 1997 Super El Nino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friction would have it go away - to some point in the atmosphere... ... 'til it burned. The velocity would be too great to photograph? Physics prove this? The squirrel lived... I'm sure. I saw a rock, flying squirrel, and a passing friend. I think the wife was throwing rocks, from the plane, at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Been at Myrtle since yesterday afternoon. Weather is awesome. Food is awesome. Money depletion accelerator functioning within normal parameters. Ever since they destroyed the Pavilion this phrase has been uttered more and more at Myrtle. I still really miss that place and its kind of sad that I will never be able to take my children there one day. Oh well, at least I can still waste money doing a zip line... whew hew.

I know I used to have about dang near a phobia of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. If a tornado warning was issued for a county nearby in Chicago such as dupage County, I would have freak out like crazy! Then I always thought every storm produced a tornado. When those tornado sirens when off, I turned ill immediately. I still remember all those violent thunderstorms. I wish I loved storms back then like I do today. I always loved the winter and looked forward to snowstorms and blizzards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the reverse " welcome to the jungle video" You may be to young to know what a video is ? They use to be on this channel called MTV, they played them all the time back in the late 80s early 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I miss the Pavilion too. Used to spend a lot of time there as a kid. There's still a ton to do and a ton of places to spend money, especially when your kid sees all the pretty colors and jungle golf things and rides and stuff. And, of course, I like to eat out....a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got to the top and it stopped to let people on at the bottom. The view was fantastic, though it was a little eerie with the wind blowing pretty big. It was howling and whistling through the capsule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya when we went last year we went through some money but it is all in how you plan your vacation also. I mean most of our money was spent doing things and going places around Myrtle Beach. I know people really do not like the beach but they have mad some really good upgrades there in the past few years. If you want to see a beautiful beach then you really need to go down into the Gulf of Mexico to see a beautiful beach. The food is pretty affordable down there also if you really look around and shop at some good places to each at. I have always liked Myrtle Beach for some reason. It is a happening place and they have done a lot to clean it up per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also were we stayed we were only like 5 minutes away from most of all the cool places to go also. We stayed right off of Kings Ave right on the Beach. Was very convenient and was easy to get around at that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Never been to Destin. How's your mom doing, by the way? Thanks for asking I have been trying not to harp on really what is going on and just trying to stay positive and she it to. She is doing well. She has finished two cycles of chemo. Each cycle is 3 treatments in 8 days. So she has had a lot taken out of her with each cycle and trying to get her diet down to were she can eat without getting constipated because of her stomach surgery removing the cancer there. She has lost a lot of weight but is finally maintaining which is about the best we can do right know. She is going to take a clinical drug that is called a parp inhibitor that targets the molecular cell makeup of the cancer cell to help prevent the cancer cells from reforming. They have come a long way in treatments but there is a lot that still need to be done. I read on line saying that in 10 years Cancer will be the number one killer in America and I believe it. I think a lot of it stems from what we eat and how our food is processed and treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 <Haven't been to Myrtle Beach... Since I was an Adonis. Tanned... 31" waist, chiseled, 400bp! 25 years ago. If I went now: I guess I'd just be an old man with long eyebrow hairs and pants to my chest. Wife with tatas dragging the sand - all sorts of ugly stuff bunched-up in her one piece w/ wrap-around. We'd be walking a little rat dog, too. I'd probably just run out into the Atlantic and drown myself. The old lady and nasty dog wouldn't notice 'till they needed my wallet for a hot dog and Margarita. I'd be watching them pick up sea shells before my last gasp.... thinking, yep - this was a fine day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
