OMG!!! "pulled him from the boat" !!!! That is just horrible! Talk about a true nightmare. (Just read one of the articles)

I know. We were at a party, and my husband's doctor (and friend with whom we socialize frequently) was telling us the details. Absolutely horrible!

Not to scare anyone but I will never get in a canoe in Africa or Brazil either (skeered of anacondas).

Sending prayers for steeleing4 and wishes for a great and rewarding trip! She is an inspiration.

MS, male spawn, my son, (Steven) is leaving for Ireland tomorrow for a summer abroad trip (actually just a month). He will be seeing the entire country with a group of 8 and 2 Mizzou professors from a coach bus and will be staying in hostels. The country is their classroom! I love that! I also love that I am not packing for him anymore!

Do you feel better now, mom?

Sorry to scare you, Steele Mama. I think where your daughter will be in Africa is safer than Bullsboro on Fridays between 3 and 7 PM (or any exit ramp on the nearby interstate at rush hour) and Lenox Square on Saturdays after 3 PM.

Do you feel better now, mom?

Sending prayers to steelemama as well.

We will. I'll tell my sister-in-law, too. She just loves your daughter. She couldn't believe that I met you recently at the SoWal get-together.

I have another friend whose daughter is at Sewanee and going to Africa - she's scared to death for her daughter.

My husband's cardiologist just took his grandchildren to Africa. He found out that his friend, Dr. Dick Root (no joke), had been eaten by a crocodile there a few weeks earlier. He said if he had known that, he might have changed his mind about making the trip. Just Google +"dick root" +crocodile . It really happened.

That's a rare occurrence. Didn't mean to scare you. I just like saying Dick Root.:funn:

Great. Now I am scared to go outside in general. Gracias for the mental pics.
