Brighteye, I'm sure you can handle the likes of Finehomes, but it just hurts my heart to have anyone referred to in such a vulgar way. And the word douche does not offend me. I've been known to use a cuss word now and then, not trying to be a prude or anything. But I do think he went over the line using high school age locker room talk. Very dissrespectful and inconsiderate of those who prefer not to hear or read that type of profanity.

I was in a restaurant once in Park City when my children were pre teens and there were 2 men at the table behind us. They had such a poor vocabulary and were so uneducated that they had to fill in with the "f" word every other word. I got up and went to their table and told them I was there with my children and I did not want them to be exposed to such language. They actually had the grace to go bright red, apologized and did not repeat the offense.


You're a sweetheart. I do swear, but try not to in front of my kids. It's hard when you are in public, and weird stuff goes on. Last summer I was at Knotts Berry Farm. My older kids went on one of the big roller coasters and I took my 8 year old girl on a tamer one. We were in the line, and there were two teenage appearing girls in front of us that were making out, and groping each other. I fancy myself as quite a liberal person, but I was pretty grossed out, mostly due to the fact that they seemed so young.

I didn't say anything to them, but I tried all kind of distraction techniques with my daughter so she wouldn't notice them. She never did, thankfully.

I learned my lesson though - stick to Disneyland, it's more family friendly!

Unless you make the mistake of going on Gay Pride Day.

My co-worker made that mistake. She went with her sister, and for some reason they both wore red shirts. It just so happened that the official color for the Gay Pride participants was red - they had on red shirts. Needless to say, she left the park early that day.

This was in October. I go to Disneyland a lot and always try to avoid that month. I am totally not homophobic, but my kids would probably be weirded out by that. I wouldn't have a problem going there on Pride Day without the kids though.
