By the way, when I was 19 I always said to people that when I would have smoked on that age my whole life long and I should die 20 years sooner than people who doesn't smoke or have astma I told them that I than would die 20 years earlier while I wasn't 20 yet. Taking that in mind I knew I would never smoke, otherwise I was dead already.

Good choice. My health is good, but who knows for how long while smoking. Anyway, glad you didn't start.

Well, thank you!

Once on a campsite there was a women I know who was smoking a cigarette and I told her that she would better stop. After she asked me with a smile why (because she already knows me and was just waiting for another joke from me) I told her that smoking people can get ugly on the very long-term (I said 'can', so this isn't a hidden way of insulting long-term smoking people). And because of that I therefore thought that she must have started smoking yesterday. :p
Yes, I'm a bit wrong sometimes, flirting with older woman. :$

Edit: isn't here a flirting topic somewhere, or shall I start one myself? Just kidding.

Awesome!

On dinosaurs: I love triceratops. My older brothers used to watch DinoRiders on tv and they had some of the toys and the triceratops one currently lives in my room. He was small enough to escape being thrown out/donated lol I believe I used to put Barbie horse accessories (blankets etc) on him; as well as My Little Pony hats

Velociraptors are cool (the scene in the kitchen in Jurassic Park is good, but topped by...) but I prefer T-Rex (because the scene with the glass of water? That's AWESOME. And she ends up as the sort of hero at the end of the film)

I may have just spoilered Jurassic Park for anyone who hasn't seen it ^^

I believe I have seen that movie like 65 million times now. It was my favorite one when I was a child, and secretly still is. But I have seen it for the first time when I was 11, because at the age of 8, back in 1993 I was just to young to watch that movie, unfortuniatly. The Lost World was good to, I really like the acting way of Jeff Goldblum. JP 3 was rather disapointing. Because there wasn't any really special thing in the storyline in my opinion. Being traped on the island (again on the island) as a 12 year old boy and being able to survive between all those carnivores (including the than new Spinosaur) could be put in any scenario, and also was highly unrealistic compared to the disasters in the previous movies that happend to highly skilled and armed till the teath grown up man. How can it be that the people from The Lost World haven't seen the Spinosaur? A carnivore so big and noisy. Site B wasn't that huge.
It's really sad that the author, Michael Crichton has died about two years ago now. He was a great writer, and I was still hoping for a part three book, and part four movie.

By the way, I've made Isla Nublar (Spanish for Island of clouds) once in CAW, but later I realized that we can not create vacation lands, but home towns, so I stepped away from that project. It would still be cool though, if we can make themepark based vacation facilities. Than Jurassic Park will absolutely be my project!

Wouldn't that be "Isla de las nubes"?

Simstar is absolutely correct, but Leto's name may be correct too.

Like: the reserach station of Antartica --> the Antartic reserach station.

Simstar3 · « **Reply #559 on:** June 10, 2010, 02:22:11 PM »

No, I learn Spanish in school, and nublar is a verb. Example: "El cielo se nubló." = The sky clouded up. Nubló is the past tense of Nublar, so nublar is a verb.

School Spanish taught in the USA is quite different then real world Spanish and Spanish taught in other countries. Let it rest that there are different ways of saying the same thing please.

Hehehe, Dan Yr Ogof Caves have a dinosaur park and they gave away one of their Brontosauruses to a school because they were getting a new dinosaur in. Last year I also went to see the Walking With Dinosaurs Exhibition in Birmingham; we did try for tickets to see the live show but they were sold out until the day after I had to leave for home.

My Spanish stretches as far as buenos dias ^^ My Italian really isn't much better. Mi ciaomo Sarah (And I've a feeling that's spelt wrong too!)

!Por supuesto Simstar! ?Habla usted Espanol?
Well, if you take that literally, you are indeed right. Nublar is befog, not cloud when you translate it. But for some reason the free translation was island of clouds.
The other island; Isla Sorna, will be the island of sarcasm. I always said that it was no wonder why they send Malcolm to Isla Sorna in The Lost World, knowing his character.

But that probably will be funny when you see the movies.

I learn Spanish too, not at school, but as a cursus on my own. But I learn the Spanish Spanish. Not from Argentina, Latin-America, Mexico or Costa Rica (and therefore I may be a bit wrong with the translation), but from Spain. What type (if you can call it a type) of Spanish do you learn Simstar?

Simstar3 · « **Reply #563 on:** June 10, 2010, 06:34:56 PM »

My school has been teaching my class Spanish since kindergarden, so I speak it pretty fluently.

Wow! Then we have another language to use together! I learned some Spanish, from school and trips to Spanish-speaking countries like Mexico and Spain.

Anybody else speaking Spanish?

Sounds interesting! By the way, I finally got the photo's from my holiday in Sao Miguel on my computer. To get an impression:

Really nice Illuminator! Must have been a nice vacation, looking at the environment.

Beautiful pictures Illuminator...must have been a great vacation!

Love those street signs Pam. We have street signs based on the old West...Bronco Billy Way, Copper Keg Ct. I got to pick the street we were to live on when we bought the house...Gilmore Ave. No way was I living on Bronco Billy Way.

Saltypaws · « **Reply #569 on:** June 12, 2010, 11:25:52 AM »

Well, I can tell you this from my experience living there. I stayed with my sister, Bshag, for six months. I absolutely loved it myself, almost like a six month vacation. Worked and gambled, not good. lol. For the lights at night, gorgeous, nothing compares to those lights. Would I live there again? Only if I won the lottery, lol. Sorry, Bshag, had to throw my two cents worth in. That is all I could afford right now. haha

I had a Wild West themed neighborhood once. I lived on Wild Horse Ct. How is it living in Las Vegas? I've been there a few times and it's such a magical place for tourists.

It's really great here Pam...the summers are a little tough, 110 degrees last Sunday.

But the humidity is great, single digits in the summertime. It gets down to 4%! That's when you can feel your eyeballs drying out.

They give dehydration warnings all the time...must drink water and fluids. We definitely have the best of both worlds...snow sports in the wintertime with Mt. Charleston and Bryce Canyon then summertime sports with Lake Mead. Of course we have the Las Vegas Strip for the tourists. No self-respecting local would ever go to the strip to gamble.

Like we say here, they don't build those gorgeous, huge casinos on winners.

When salty was here, it was a lot of fun...ah those were the days. When she comes to visit I get to go down to stay with her in the hotel...way too much fun.

Just thought I'd share what I was up to yesterday. My girls turned 3 years old, so we had a fun little party with the four of us plus the grandparents. It was a very fun relaxing time! Here's a picture of the cake I've spent the past 3 days working on. I'm totally NOT the cake decorating type, but my mother-in-law was visiting with us and she's really good at this sort of thing, so she encouraged me to give it a try. I'm kind of proud of myself!

Thanks! Will do.

The roofs were actually maple & brown sugar Life cereal. They seemed like they would work better as roof tiles since they're flatter and not as puffed out.
