Around the House News

Buon Giorno (bwawn JOHR-no)-Italian
Good Morning,

Yesterday my DSL server went down, wow, you would think the power went out and I was in a natural disaster. (smiling) It turned out alright because I was able to get some things done around the house. Lately I noticed I was an “unknown country” and for the longest time I have been “Pompano Beach” (not my location), today I am showing Ft. Lauderdale and as I told Patrick , next I may be in “Cuba”. (lol) – In regards to my server and IP. In the midst of 3.5 million people here, who knows where and what tower my DSL will pick up next.

As most everyone knows, it is beautiful down here in south Florida. Yesterday was gorgeous. I re-potted some root bound past due ferns and other plants, and enjoyed playing in the dirt. Actually got some laundry done and was tempted to soak up some sun by the pool. It has already hit 90 one day and been in the high 80’s for several, by the time I was through you would have thought I’d ran a marathon with being so sweaty and hot. All this needed to be done before the invasion of the huge toads come back.

Later my daughter and I went to TJ Max and Office Depot, and I spent way too much money and by the time we got back home, I was totally exhausted. Lately my sleeping habits, has been all screwed up. Getting up before the sun around 4:30 a.m. and by 2 p.m. thereafter I am useless for visiting blogs, getting much done, etc. then falling asleep before the end of my prime-time programs on FNC even with my little nap in the afternoon. Many of you may not know about my Fibromyalgia, but it keeps me extremely fatigued. I have some good days and then bad ones; it seems to reflect in my posting and/or visiting and most especially in my email responses. Sorry to ones that I am way behind on as far as answering your emails. Oh yeah that reminds me, last week I received an email from someone stating how wrong I am about sex predators and how I should understand how difficult it is for them to live in society, etc. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! I couldn’t believe it, however I just let it go without wasting my time on expressing my strong views it was apparent they have not read my blog and how I am totally against allowing these predators on the street walking around free. It probably was a sex offender, who knows.

Tuesday, I watched with my son DERAILED. I like Jennifer Aniston and this movie will definitely keep you on the edge once it takes off. It has a twist that you do not expect, usually I am the one that figures out the most un-obvious suspect but this time my son guessed it before I did. If you like suspense-thrillers, definitely check it out. I have the new movie too, Dreamers with Kurt Russell but have not watched it yet. I hear it is good with Dakota Fanning. I loved her in Man on Fire.

So much going on in just a day, one I missed on posting. Wow, was that not a miracle about the family found missing in their Motor home six feet in snow? Another miracle about the woman abducted 10 yrs ago and tells a clerk at a convenient store her story and then the clerk calls the police, she is now reunited with her family. Totally Bizarre Story! Don’t even get me started on Debra Lafave, ‘the too pretty to go to prison teacher predator’ her butt needs prison time. In that press conference she gave, I did not hear any remorse did you? Brad King again, the same prosecutor that did not charge the three people living in the mobile home with previous convicted sex predator John Couey (charged a year ago today in this case) that kidnapped, raped and buried little Jessica Lunsford in his backyard. That case will be coming up soon here in Florida. Since this happened with King, FL has passed a new law to where now it will be a felony for ones that help sex predators and reveal crucial information when questioned by police regarding their whereabouts, etc.

Florida lawmakers are in the process of passing a new law and cracking down on where sex predators will not be allowed to get Viagra and other sex enhancing drugs. DUH!! About time, hopefully other states will get on board with this too. I just don’t get it, where several states are so soft on sex predators with their laws and rulings. HOW MANY LAWS ARE GOING TO BE CREATED WITH DEAD CHILDREN’S NAMES ATTACHED TO THEM before our country wakes up?

Well, this did not end up being totally ‘around the house news’ after all but some FL news included above. I hope that I can get around and say hello to some of you today. Wishing everyone a great day.

P.S. I forgot to add, Bella my Rottie nosed the opening in the window enough to jump out and scare us half to death with her obsession with other dogs. The window was just cracked enough for some air, well she pushed it open to get her 100+ muscle body out and run. Needless to say, the dog and owner were terrified. No harm done....Thank the Lord. It was scary there for a moment.
