What happened to the sunny south???!!!!

After living in SW Florida for some time, I have decided to visit South Beach Miami on my own. Cannot work out schedule with any friends. It will be a day trip for me - about 2-hour drive each way. I just want to walk on the beach and see the art deco buildings, maybe spend 3 or 4 hours there. I have Googled information but really can't find any specific about public parking. Am I going to have a hard time finding a place to park my car? Will it cost an ...

Great beaches and great peaches! Just thinking today, how fortunate I am to live just one state *north* of SC (as I sliced and diced my way through a $6 half bushel of perfectly ripe and juicy peaches, shipped just up the road). My account is a hospital where I get reports about "blueberry workers," which I had never heard of. We have to pay some serious money for blueberries down here, but I imagine "up there" they are plentiful and cheap. The cheapest I have seen here recen ...

My state has spent over $300 million of state taxes and only 44 have signed up for AHC. It is not working in our state. We sure could have used $300 million to help the homeless or redo our severely crippled bridges, but noooooo, we had to spend it on ridiculous useless crap to get 44 people signed up and those people's deductibles are so high that they are still paying out of pocket for their care. ...

Just in the last few weeks an oil train blew up in North Dakota, a toxic chemical spill poisoned the water of over 300,000 people in West Virginia (and is still spreading), and who can forget BP oil pouring oil in the Gulf a few years ago, and now this, but what did Republican leader Boehner recently say? â��I am entirely confident that there are ample regulations already on the books to protect the health and safety of the American people. Somebody ought to be held accountable here. What we ...

I live in the south. How does Thanksgiving dinner differ from the northern states to the sourthern ones? From east to west? Here in the south we have the usual turkey like everyone does. We have the cornbread dressing (stuffing), chicken and dumplings, veggies, no steamed ones though, we don't eat much steamed veggies around here. They are boiled with meat seasoning such as bacon or ham, etc. We have the broccoli casserole. We also have baked ham.& ...

After being without health insurance for two years, Miranda Childe of Hallandale Beach found a plan she could afford with financial aid from the government using the Affordable Care Act’s exchange. Childe, 60, bought an HMO plan from Humana, one of the nation’s largest health insurance companies, and received a membership card in time for her coverage to kick in on May 1st. But instead of being able to pick a primary care physician to coordinate her healthcare, Childe says she repeat ...

Wall Street Journal: "Mr. DeMint, the South Carolina junior senator, had said he wouldn't run for another term in 2016, but his announcement Thursday was a surprise. Mr. DeMint is a tea-party icon who has long argued that GOP leaders have pursued compromise at the expense of ideals." "Mr. DeMint's departure comes as the Republican party has becoming increasingly divided between conservatives and moderates, and shortly after elections that saw the Democrats expand their seats in the Se ...

Getting more and more unstable. With an unstable dictator at the helm taking orders from the generals, this may turn into WWIII. Thankfully, they are not as equipped as the rest of the world but their soldiers can do a lot of harm before being stopped. NK is very serious about doing harm to the west and SK. Japan is being forced to protect themselves just in case of a missle launch that goes awry like the other ones did. Alaska and Guam are also being protected by our missles. ___________ ...

of facts to deceive the public into supporting new voter-suppression laws. (But did anyone actually doubt this?)

A couple of weeks ago, someone apparently used my e-mail address (and whatever else) to sign up for auto insurance quotes, creditmatch.com, and several other seemingly unrelated online services. Several different insurance companies called my house all in one day, back to back, and my inbox was full of messages from all of these sites that I had supposedly registered with. Has anyone ever had this happen, or know how it could happen? I mean, I've had my e-mail address ...

in Libya? The Pentagon confirmed we have ground troops there. I guess this is just another free pass for Obama, huh? Where is the screaming and yelling about this being a war for oil because that is exactly what this is. Where is the screaming and yelling about how he lied and said we wouldn't have ground troops even though that is what is happening now. Where is the screaming and yelling about our president waging war on a country without the approval of congr ...

at church today. An older boy (6) touched him in an inappropriate manner (licked his bottom), after locking the door to the bathroom, so that noone could see. My son came and told me immediately and we talked about touching that is okay and not okay (thankfully, we have already had this talk, which is why he came to his father and me) and not to let someone ever do that again, as well as making clear that he can tell us anything and that he should never do this to anyone else, either ...

jobs? Good job Trump - once again telling lies to make yourself look good! See what this lady has to say who worked 25 years for Carrier - the company that you talked into keeping so many jobs here.

I was on a couple of months back, talking about how I had plans to be an artist for my retirement and how I was starting to sell things. Keep this in mind: I graduated art school 26 years ago and shortly afterward put my brushes down. I didn't pick them back up until April of 2009. I have been back painting about 9 months. A few weeks ago, a friend on Facebook put out a call for 3 artists. I didn't know what she wanted, but I replied. She instructed me to send 3 digital photo ...

I just went to a group interview where there were about 30 of us. We all waited in the lobby. There were about 25 men and 5 women. Three of the women were standing. NONE, and I mean NONE of the men offered their seats to us, nor did they allow us to enter through the doors first.Is this what we've come to? Are parents not teaching this stuff? I don't think I'm weaker by any means, but is it not gentlemanlike to do this anymore?Am I wrong? ...
