It is soooo boring. 
The Dayton area was the only place I ever saw an actual KKK lodge or whatever the fuck they call it. And that includes multiple trip to Alabama for me.
I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown just in downtown Dallas last summer, and I wasn't even driving. Monica fucked around with this message on 07-12-2007 at 05:01 PM.

I have no sense of direction. The only reason I manage in Oklahoma is because almost all of the streets are sectioned off in 1 mile by 1 mile squares, and the streets running E/W are numbered.I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown just in downtown Dallas last summer, and I wasn't even driving.
Haha, I'd pay good money to watch you drive around Chester.
It has the most nonsensical and insane road system in the world. One-way streets that lead into other one-way streets.. only going a different way, what? Roundabouts that melt into other roundabouts to triple, even quadruple, stack them.
I screamed and got out of there as fast as I could.
You can't just tell me "Turn left on Transit until you hit the 219"... no, I can only process "Turn left at the Taco Bell, turn right at the third light, and it's next to the hair salon."
I was in a car with two other people who were arguing over which way to turn, I told then to shut up, listen... and got there faster than their route would have (according to someone we asked at the destination).
I have an amazing sense of direction.

Youngstown.
My only major fuckup was missing the exit I needed, making an illegal u-turn thinking that would solve the issue, only to find that the exit I needed wasn't accessible from the eastbound lanes. I ended up talking to a tollbooth lady who charged me ten bucks for making an illegal u-turn, but was nice enough to allow me to make another so I could get back on track.
I missed the exit because GOOGLE MAPS LABELED THE MOTHERFUCKING EXIT WRONG 
I narrowly avoided fucking up on the way back, too, because the exit I needed was an exit off another exit that I didn't need. I found it by luck and by knowing that the exit I needed was somewhere around the I-79 junction.
I think I'm going to get me a GPS with my first paycheck.
4 upgrades to Windows XP pro (upgrade from uh.. xp home) super easy
2 new PC setups and 1 laptop, super easy
2 wireless routers set up... took a little longer because the church walls were made of bomb shelter grade concrete. Also nobody on-site knew any passwords for anything, so I had to hax. I mean call customer service.
dell says the client gets to ask me to hook up 3 peripherals per computer. Something tells me Dell wasn't thinking about two monster fucking industrial laser printers (with print sharing), and an all-in-one fax machine that they don't plan on using for anything but faxes.
And then dell sent the wrong driver disks with the printers.
It's a good thing I'm so fucking ripped or I'd have died under the weight of those printers.

I cant go on roller coasters, so I am sad.. but I might be taking some family to Cedar Point around August 8th or 9th.
Anything a pregnant woman can do at that amusement park ride wise?
It was very strange for a California boy.

If you like roller coasters, Cedar Point is like coaster Mecca.
If you are not a big fan, you won't like it as much, but there is a pretty good amount of your standard carnival ride type things.

Cedar Point, the second part of our two part weekend extravaganza, was awesome. I live in Cincinnati, and we’ve got a pretty good amusement park here by the name of Kings Island, which features 8 badass coasters, including the Vortex, the Flight of Fear, the Beast and the Son of Beast. I’ve enjoyed this local staple summer after summer for a good portion of my life, so you’ll understand that these next words carry quite a bit of weight when I type them: Kings Island has nothing on Cedar Point.Sweet Jesus, the Top Thrill Dragster was amazing. Pure adrenaline. We hit it first thing in the morning. Our staying in an hotel owned by Cedar Point meant that we got access to the park an hour earlier than the general public. Not every ride is open for visitors at this hour, but we hit up a pretty fun giant swing called MaXair first thing before queuing up for the Dragster at around 9:30. We waited 30 minutes for it to open and then another 25 to board the train. The cars eased down the track to the staging area, where a faux drag tree was set up to give us a countdown. The train released its brakes and eased back on the hydraulic ram, and a few seconds later the top lights of the tree lit up. This was, as I like to put it, an “Oh Shit” moment. A second or two later, in an seemingly impossible feat, the 5 ton train was launched from zero to one hundred and twenty miles an hour in the course of four very heart pounding seconds. The dumbass in front of me had his hands up above his head prior to launch, and they snapped back at the elbows, heavy beyond his control until the train finally slowed down to sub-ludicrous speed near the top of its 420 foot climb. Then the train peaked the hill, and I swear to God, I could see Canada on the far side of Lake Erie. The next thing you know, you’re practically free falling back to earth at 110 miles an hour, taking a 270 degree cork screw before speeding into the braking zone festively decorated with a giant “Finish” sign.
Why yes, It was fun.
The rest of the day we spent attempting to hit every roller coaster Cedar Point had to offer, including their previous record holder, the Millennium Force, whoÂ’s 300 foot 80 degree drop seemed tame in comparison to the Dragster. Good times were had by all. I had SundayÂ’s schedule cleared to recuperate.

Like, twice as bad as Disney long. That long. Yeah they have a high concentration of big coasters, but you'll be lucky to get on 3 of them in any given day.

Now that's a bit of an exaggeration. We rode on every coaster in the park, and our trip was in prime-time, a Saturday in late June.
Yeah, there were lines, but for the most part they were less than 30 minutes long. I think the longest we waited for anything was for the dragster, and that was 55 minutes in it's opening year. Blindy. fucked around with this message on 07-13-2007 at 01:40 PM.

Youngstown blows ass. I think the average age in that town is 73. But that aside, I have family out there, and although I'm not *personally* familiar with driving around there, if your location is in youngstown and not just nearby, drop me a line and I can likely get you the correct directions/exits for it from my relatives.
Thanks for the offer but I got there and back two days ago :3
It would have been cool to know you had relatives out there though so I could stop in and be all HEY FOLKS I KNOW YOUR COUSIN IN LAW FROM THE INTERNET WHO WANTS A HUG

I think you guys are missing the point -- there really aren't many rides she can enjoy at ANY amusement park because she's pregnant. :/
Most likely a merry-go-round deal and that's about it. Maybe swings?
I dunno. I think you'd enjoy it a lot more if you went next year after the birth.
