She had piles.

See what you get for channelling Galaxian? I did try and warn you.

I wish tapatalk would stop fucking up my replies.

Does it matter

Tapatalk's fine. It's dragging your knuckles over the screen too quickly that does it.

[pErvinalia]

Yes. They are perfectly crafted and timed, and then tapatalk slips a post in between my post and what I was replying to without telling me.

Edit: Fark, it just did it again!

Hard to keep 'em out.



That's in Palmetto, where we keep the boat.

Loads of gators on Florida golf courses videos.



That's enough to put you off your stroke - and effect your golf game too.

Shame, poor little dude. But yeah, it's the parent's fault. Gators are all over the show, if you don't know if there's a gator then there's a gator. That's the safest attitude.

Thank god for you. If there's one thing that is vital in events like this it is the assignment of blame.

[Strontium Dog]

It's important we know why and how things happen, in order that we learn. Apportioning blame is part of that. Those who do not learn from mistakes are doomed to repeat them.

They have other children?

Or simply making sure that their unfortunate example, widely broadcast, makes other parents take more care when their young children are near water in Florida...

My neighbor the retired State Trooper is now the city Fire Marshal. He took a tour of the City campgrounds last night, and a woman was sitting next to a campfire, on a propane cylinder. He said the fire was blistering the paint.

Sounds like an exaggeration to me. If the fire blistered the paint, the woman's knees would have been significantly more than uncomfortable.

She was apparently up and down.

While sitting on the cylinder? I guess this may have been due to some safety valve forcefully releasing the extra pressure caused in the tank by the blistering heat.

No. A person innocently scoots a tank up close to the fire. Then she has a seat. Then she gets up to get another beer, gets to talking with someone, then comes back and plops down right as the Fire Marshal comes along and points out she's sitting on a fucking bomb like some kind of drunken leering skeleton in an an old German woodcut.

Oh, look who's piped up with a whinge again.

What I don't understand about this is why is the area not fenced off? Sure, there's signs there, but we are talking about large predators and an urban setting.
