A message for my daughter on the occasion of her sixth birthday

We had a great day today. Your sixth birthday, and 18 little princesses showed up! But the best part for me occurred this morning, when it was just the two of us talking about what it means to be six years old. I tried to convince you that you are now a “Big Girl”, but [...]

Only in FLA: Baby Jesus loves GPS

First we had the crazy old lady filing charges against her tangerine-stealing neighbor. Now, GPS equipped baby Jesus foils thief

To all you bloggers who think you're SO outrageous…

I dare you.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, & Thanks!

“As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it.” – Dick Cavett I’d just like to take a moment to thank everyone that has stopped by to read this blog. When I resurrected this puppy back in April, I had no idea that it would be read by so [...]

Coming Soon: American Idol – The MILF Edition (or, "Is Jessica Sierra pregnant?")

Man, I’ve got to be careful how I word these things. But, local news websites, Fox News, and TMZ are all reporting that sweet l’il Jessica is on a pregnancy diet between bars. Daddy is supposed to be a rapper. I half expected it to be a cop. But, I guess you can’t get preggers [...]

Fly to Florida

I regularly write about the attractions here in Florida: Disney, Sea World, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios. Did you realize that 3 of those attractions are located within a ten minute drive of each other, with Busch Gardens and our great Florida beaches on either coast only an hour away? You can fly into Orlando and [...]

7 Reasons Florida is Better Than South Carolina

Since I seem to be on a pattern of hitting the Southeast lately, and because I last went after North Carolina, South Carolina is our destination for today’s installment. To be perfectly honest, this post was MUCH easier to do than the Georgia, NC, and NH posts. Without further ado, 7 Reasons Florida is Better [...]

Incompetency at Walmart.com

Wow, a friend of mine and Florida blogger is getting screwed over by Walmart right before Christmas. She’s a single Mom and purchased a very expensive item for her kids through walmart.com, paid for expedited shipping, and now the item isn’t going to be here in time for Christmas. A sorry tale of customer service [...]

Only in FLA: Get out of my yard

It’s been a while since I had a “juicy” Only-in-FLA post, and today I have one courtesy of the last county I lived in, Hernando. Hernando was basically a divided county for about 35 years, with the east side of the county consisting primarily of multi-generational Floridians and the west side consisting of “Yankees”. You [...]

Hacking at Disney World

I took the family to the petri dish that is Dismal Disney World last Friday. The thing that stood out on this visit was how many people were sick, and how many of these sick people did not cover up when they sneezed or coughed. I think it was “Canadians-get-in-free” day. Those people are animals.  [...]
