Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 LOL! I'm sure he'll have a good time. It wouldn't worry me if it was me going, but I always worry about my kids even though they are adults. My brother lived at home until he was about 32. I remember my dad phoning me to say my brother hadn't been home for three days/nights, and did I think he was alright. I said I thought he'd be fine, and remember wondering why my dad was worrying about a grown-up son. Since being a parent I know that you never stop worrying.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 EGADS! I agree with Fraggle, don't think ya need to worry about the snakes or scorpions. Ticks and West Nile tis everywhere. If he stays out of the woods he should be ok. If he doesn't, use the same precautions ya would use anywhere. Besides, the DC has plenty of " snakes " but they walk on two legs. Bees, wasps, fire ants, etc - same as anywhere He should be ok! Will be safer on these things than where he just came from!
