I know I posted this before, so if you saw it/read it, oh well... I'm getting older so I have the right to repeat myself.

I'd like to have a man in my life but I don't want to give up my independence, and I'd love having more money and prayed for both/either, but instead of a man or a money tree I ended up with a penis plant. Beware of what you wish for! (It is a split-leaf philodendron in my backyard.)

The news here in Florida has been filled with more depressing things than usual from babies scalded to death by their mothers, to kids shot to death while playing Russian Roulette, to college kids dying in hazing incidents, that I decided to look for humor in the news. I found little humor but several oddities:
--a man is caught speeding on I4 with a monkey on his back- literally- a live monkey was in the vehicle with him! --Florida is considering a bill that bans hugging in school.
--Lawsuit accuses school officials of racism, telling two black women they cheated because they scored too high ("you people don't score that high")
--man in Florida visits friend in jail, draws quite a bit of attention to himself by being loud and obnoxious (suspected of being drunk); is stopped leaving the jail and police find an open bottle of vodka in his vehicle. He already has several DUIs so guess where he ends up- back in the jail he just visited!

That's the news from Florida. Fredo, I can send that plant to you, if you want... :-)
