If you came down here you'd never want to go back up to the frozen North again. I spend a week there every year and have for the past 20 years. Altogether I have been going to Florida for more than 40 years. There's lot's of great stuff to visit, but that doesn't mean the sun hasn't baked peoples' brains and they shouldn't be mocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Man Arrested After Bringing Meth To Police Station To Have It Tested By Cops A man concerned that he had been rooked by a methamphetamine dealer contacted Florida police and asked them to test his drugs and “press charges” against the dealer if he had “been given the wrong narcotics,” according to an arrest report. On Tuesday afternoon, Douglas Peter Kelly, 49, called the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and told a deputy that he had a “violent reaction” after smoking what he thought was “speed.” Kelly told cops that he believed that the drug in question was actually Flakka, the notorious synthetic stimulant. After speaking with cops, Kelly drove to the sheriff’s office "because he wished to have the illegal narcotics tested." Kelly subsequently provided cops with a piece of aluminum foil that contained a “clear, crystal-like substance.” A field test of the substance provided by Kelly resulted in a “positive reaction for the presence of methamphetamine,” police reported.

China Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Jellyfish Sting More Than 1000 People in Florida Over Four-Day Period DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – It’s a moon jellyfish free-for-all on central Florida beaches. An unusually large swarm of jellyfish have stung an estimated 1,200 beach-goers over four days in Volusia County. Jellyfish are not unusual in the area. Winds and currents push them ashore once or twice a year, Volusia County spokeswoman Captain Tamra Malphurs says. But the volume is unusual. Tonya Kronk of Daytona Beach was among the unlucky. She took her body board out past a sandbar, and “it wasn’t five minutes before I got stung,” she tells CNN. “It just kinda stuck to my leg… and I couldn’t get it off fast enough.” The injuries were “pretty bad,” she says. Scientists aren’t certain if jellyfish blooms, which occur about every 20 years, are becoming more common. But zoologist Allen Collins tells Fox that warmer oceans, commercial fishing, agricultural runoff, and artificial reefs may be at least partly to blame. Malphurs believes the uptick in stings on Florida beaches is probably due to the rising numbers of people using the beach rather than a change in temperature or weather.

China Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Keystone Virus Makes First Known Jump From Mosquitoes To Humans Just in time for the hot, humid, bug-bite-riddled summer: Researchers from the University of Florida have confirmed the first known case of a human infected with the mosquito-borne Keystone virus. A 16-year-old boy in North Central Florida went to an urgent care clinic after coming down with a fever and a severe rash in August 2016, during the Zika outbreak in Florida and the Caribbean. Doctors couldn't figure out what made him sick. They tested for Zika and various other pathogens but hit a series of dead ends. "We couldn't identify what was going on," J. Glenn Morris, director of the university's Emerging Pathogens Institute, told NPR member station WUSF. "We screened this with all the standard approaches and it literally took a year and a half of sort of dogged laboratory work to figure out what this virus was." Researchers published their findings earlier this month in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

Kosher Ham Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 That's disgusting. What in the hell is wrong with these people ? And please don't come in here thinking it is just men. I have known plenty of women that try to manipulate men and take advantage of them via many potential avenues. Statistics say that I know someone that has been a sex predator ( whether male or female)... Creepy to think, that I probably did/do know at least one. Some of you folks with all this social media...probably have known or do know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gator is on land and in the water right under her."
