Live and uncensored!

Palm Bay Police believe they have the scum bag in custody that is responsible for the numerous fires here.

Let's just say that he was seen throwing a bottle full of flammable liquid out of the car window, he had one of those long lighters on him like you would use for a bbq. A witnessed yelled at him, and then took a shot at him. The cops gave chase and eventually unleashed the dogs on this guy. They found him hiding under some brush, last I heard he was being treated for dog bites at the local hospital. (The dogs deserve a medal!)

I wonder what they will do to him and how they will charge him?

I have a few ideas LOL!

I personally think they should castrate him with a rusty old butter knife and then cover him in a mixture of diesel and styrofoam and light the SOB on fire! But I don't think they will listen to me.... LOL!

Your thoughts on what they should do with scum like this? Is it possible/probable that there was more then one person responsible?

Blog it here!

Thanks for the blog!

I was out in Southeast Palm Bay this evening, there was fire everywhere, it was an unsettling feeling, I started thinking I was in hell because everything was glowing orange. I captured a few images out there. May they catch the dirtbag(s) that started this! Between fifty and seventy five homes either burned or have been damaged in Palm Bay and another four have burned in nearby Malabar.





I am angry!

Thanks for viewing and thanks for the blog!

Your thoughts please!

Someday when my children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates a parent, 
I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me: 
I loved you enough to ask where you were going,
with whom, and what time you would be home. 



I loved you enough to be silent and let you
discover that your new best friend was a creep. 



I loved you enough to stand over you for
two hours while you cleaned your room,
a job that should have taken 15 minutes. 



I loved you enough to let you see anger, 
disappointment, and tears in my eyes. 
Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect.. 



I loved you enough to let you assume the
responsibility for your actions even when the 
penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.



But most of all, I loved you enough to say 
NO when I knew you would hate me for it.



Those were the most difficult battles of all. 
I'm glad I won them, because in the end you won, too. 
And someday when your children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them. 



Was your Mom mean? 



I know mine was. 
We had the meanest mother in the whole world!
While other kids ate candy for breakfast,
we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.

 

When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, 
we had to eat sandwiches.

 

And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was 
different from what other kids had, too. 



Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. 
You'd think we were convicts in a prison. 



She had to know who our friends were
and what we were doing with them.
She insisted that if we said we 
would be gone for an hour, we would be gone 
for an hour or less.



We were ashamed to admit it, 
but she had the nerve to break 
the Child Labor Laws by making us work. 



We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, 
learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, 
empty the trash and all sorts of cruel jobs.
I think she would lie awake at night 
thinking of more things for us to do. 



She always insisted on us telling the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. 
By the time we were teenagers, 
she could read our minds 
and had eyes in the back of her head.
Then, life was really tough!



Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk
the horn when they drove up
They had to come up to the door 
so she could meet them. 



While everyone else could date
when they were 12 or 13, 
we had to wait until we were 16.

 

Because of our mother we missed out
on lots of things other kids experienced. 



None of us have ever 
been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's 
property or ever arrested for any crime. 
It was all her fault.



Now that we have left home, we are all educated, 
honest adults.We are doing our best to be mean parents
 just like Mom was.


I think that is what's wrong with the world today. 
It just doesn't have enough mean moms! 



Happy Mother's Day to all of you mean moms!

This is a long process for me, I like to take my time and look and find exactly what it is that I want...


I was addicted to the Mustang until I rented one back in November, not a bad ride for the short term, but try taking one for a long trip! And not to mention the little 6 cylinder I rented was a gas hog too!


I also rented a Sebring convertible, I loved the convertible part, and the gas mileage wasn't too bad, but in my opinion it was a rather cheaply built car and the little four banger under the hood didn't impress me either, it always sounded like the motor was getting ready to blow, because the RPM's were running high anytime the speedometer went over 45! And yes it was in overdrive.

 
 Now I am looking at Pontiac Solstice. I need to find a place that rents them, so I can drive one.  I do a lot of miles when doing photo shoots so being comfortable is important to me. I like something with a little get up and go, so I am thinking turbo LOL! Any of you all own one? Care to tell me what you think about them? 


I am also looking at the Saturn Skye, I would love to find a place that rents them so I can take one on a road trip! Again I would like to hear from someone that owns one.


I also like the looks of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, I test drove one but again I want it for a few days to get a real feel for it. Again anyone that owns one tell me what you think of it.


Hubby nixed the idea of a Miata, he says they are cheaply built and he doesn't want me driving one. I personally love two seater convertible cars.

What about the Honda S2000?  Anyone here own one?



If you own any of the above vehicles or know of one that you think I may like, please feel free to give me your input here. I am not sure that I will purchase one of these brand new, I have this really bad habit of letting the first owner pay the depreciation. *wink*


As always, thanks for the blog.

Every citizen needs to read this and think about what this journalist has scripted in this message. Read it and then really think about our current political debacle.



Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.

THE 545 PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USA'S WOES BY CHARLEY REESE

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason, they have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton- picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

A CONFIDENCE CONSPIRACY

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a SPEAKER, who stood up and criticized G.W. BUSH for creating deficits.
The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto.

REPLACE THE SCOUNDRELS

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in battle, it's because they want them in battle. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation" or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess.

Amen!

Your thoughts?

As always thanks for the blog!

Why oh why did they ban the Booggymann? He was my favorite stalker!

...an "IGNORE" button here on the blog? I remember they used to have them in chat rooms, all you had to do was click on the name you wished to ignore and clicked the "IGNORE" button and you never heard or read another word that person typed.


Please???

Life would be so beautiful without a few people in it, and seeing as us bloggers can't ban them, this is the next best thing imo!
Thanks!

Gas prices are at an all time high and predicted to go higher!  I got a better paying job back in August, but now I am afraid that all of my extra pay will be going into my gas tank.


With gas prices predicted to be $10 a gallon soon, is there anything we can do to help stop this?


The Oil companies are raping us and our Government is just sitting idly by watching them do it!


Remember the journey of ten thousand miles starts with a single step!


I am thinking about getting a motorcycle right about now!
What about you?  Suggestions please!


Thanks for the blog!

If you agree, please copy and paste and send this letter on to your senators!  Let's bombard them letting them know that you do not agree with the way things are going!

I want to hear your thoughts Orlando!

Dear Senator [recipient name inserted here],

In the past, to become an American Citizen, you had to learn English as
well as speak it.  Now, we as Americans, must either put up with or learn
a foreign language in order to survive.  Yes, I said survive!  Why have we
as a country, continued to put up with this?

Please co-sponsor Sen. Dole's bill, S. 2719, to repeal the multilingual
mandate called Exec. Order 13166.

It is estimated that having this bill cost US, the people of this great
country, millions, if not billions of dollars a year.  Why have we stopped
requiring this for immigrants to live/become citizens of this country?

Forcing federal fund recipients to provide services in foreign languages
eliminates incentives for immigrants to learn English.

Why are we funding immigrants who are NOT citizens?  Why aren't they
required to speak/learn our language to become eligible for ANY funding?
Why are they collecting Social Security,  having NEVER contributed?  We as
Americans want to know!  We have an investment in our country!

The American people never voted to transform their country into a
multilingual 'Tower of Babel.'

Please work to keep our nation united by language by working to pass S.
2719.

Sincerely,

Today I noticed that we have new topics on the blog!  We have the usual News, Sports, Entertainment, Traffic, Political and Weather.  But now I have noticed both Music and Faith have been added as new topics, which I think is great.

 
So now I have a few questions...


1.  Why not a Health topic?
2.  Does this mean that more bloggers that aren't Fox employees will be featured on the front page?
3.  Will there be any more topics added?
4.  Hey bloggers!  Is there anything else you would like to see the web master add while they are at it?


I want to see script fonts and a health topic please!

As always, thanks for the blog!

Hello Orlando!


I have traveled this beautiful State of ours and have visited many Florida State parks, I am wondering, do you have a favorite Florida State park? 


My favorite is Bahia Honda, located just south of Marathon in The Florida Keys!  I love the pristine blue water down there and the pristine beaches, along with a touch of history from The Flagler Railroad Bridge that resides in the park.



So which State Park is your favorite?


And why is it your favorite?


As always, thanks for the blog!

Signal12,

I have to play the devil's advocate here, because I have personally seen the benefits of drinking water daily, and lots of it too!  So don't believe everything you read or hear!

Water

When we were kids in school, we learned that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. We also learned that it was great fun to fill up our squirt guns with water, at least until the principal caught us. What we really didn't learn, however, was how much water we needed in order to be healthy human beings.

Why We Need Water

Our bodies are estimated to be about 60 to 70% water. Blood is mostly water, and our muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Water is needed to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs.

Signs of Dehydration

We lose water through urination, respiration, and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you are sedentary. Diuretics such as caffeine and alcohol cause us to lose water by tricking our bodies into thinking we have more water than we need.
Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles,lower back pain, headaches, and constipation. A strong odor to your urine, along with a yellow or amber color indicates that you are not getting enough water. (Note that riboflavin, a B Vitamin, will make your urine bright yellow.) Thirst is an obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty.

How Much Water To Drink

A good rule of thumb is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise you should drink another 8 ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink coffee or alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to drink 8 ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. If you live in an arid climate, you should add another 2 servings per day. As you can see, your daily need for water can add up to quite a lot.
The best source for water is plain, pure drinking water. Juices and sodas have a lot of sugar in them and aren't a good source, so if you drink them, they don't count towards your daily amount. Diet sodas aren't a good choice either. Herbal teas that aren't diuretic are fine. Sports drinks contain electrolytes and may be beneficial, just look out for added sugar and calories that you don't need.

Carry A Water Bottle

It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon or lime for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners which you don't need.

***********

10 Reasons why drinking water is good for you

1. Get healthy skin. Drinking water moisturizes your skin from the inside out. Water is essential to maintaining elasticity and suppleness and helps prevent dryness.

2. Lose weight. Increased water consumption can help you control weight by preventing you from confusing hunger with thirst. Water will also keep your body systems working properly, including metabolism and digestion, and give you the energy (and hydration) necessary for exercise.

3. Flush toxins. By helping to flush toxins, appropriate water intake lessens the burden on your kidneys and liver.

4. Reduce your risk of a heart attack. Researchers at Loma Linda University in California studied more than 20,000 healthy men and women and found that people who drink more than five glasses of water a day were less likely to die from a heart attack or heart disease than those who drank fewer than two glasses a day.

5. Cushion and lube your joints and muscles. Water makes up a large part of the fluid that lubricates and cushions your joints and muscles. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise can also help reduce muscle cramping and premature fatigue.

6. Stay regular. Water helps prevent constipation by adding fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass.

7. Stay hydrated, get energized, and be alert. On average, most adults lose about 10 cups of fluid a day through sweating, exhaling, urinating, and bowel movements. Even minor dehydration can cause impaired concentration, headaches, irritability, and fatigue.

8. Regulate your body temperature. Perspiration is your body's natural mechanism to control body temperature. And to sweat, you need plenty of water.

9. Reduce your risk of disease and infection Water can help prevent kidney stones and reduce your chances of getting bladder, kidney, and urinary tract infections. One study found that women who drank more than five glasses of water a day had a risk of colon cancer that was 45 percent less than those who drank two or fewer glasses a day.

10. Get well. The traditional prescription to "drink plenty of fluids" when you're sick still holds strong. Water can help control a fever, replace lost fluids, and thin out mucus.

************

If you're thirsty, your body is already dehydrated, and thus the damage is being done. When a baby is born, its body is on average 86% water, but when a man dies at around age of 70-80, his body is on average only 45% water.

Lack of hydration is synonymous with cell damage and therefore the aging process.

Cells replicate as exact copies of the existing cell state, and not from an original blueprint. Therefore, less than ideal cell conditions means that with every generation of cell replication, there is a continual degradation of cell integrity - much like taking endless photocopies of photocopies. Keeping the body superhydrated gives the cells of the body a better environment to replicate more accurately. Hence why people say their skin feels more smooth etc.

Simply put, drinking lots of water slows your aging process.

Food for thought my dears!

As Always thanks for the blog!
