Do you believe this ??????   
One minute you're here, the next you're not.
This guy was just walking into the water, not even ankle deep, and two killer whales just snatched him.
No blood. No guts, No mess, just gone!! Very graphic! He happened to be waving at a friend taking a film of him, and it was his last wave!
Suppose his friend hadn't been filming, or even looking in that direction.....  He disappeared.
He was just gone in less than a heartbeat. Too scary.

Another renter evicted by homeowners' association
                             
Article Courtesy of The Tampa Bay Times
By SHANNON BEHNKEN
Published May 8, 2012
WESLEY CHAPEL -- The Bridgewater homeowner's association doesn't own the house Connie Hicks rented.
But that didn't stop the association from evicting Hicks, giving her 24 hours to pack up and leave. Now a new family lives there and they're paying $250 more a month in rent.
What's more, the money is going to help pay off a lien the association filed against the homeowner.
"It created a big mess for me," said Hicks, who lived there for seven months. "I wouldn't want any other renter to go through this." Hicks was shocked because she thought she did everything she was asked to by the association and by the courts.
Still, she was booted from the house as part of Bridgewater's controversial legal strategy, first reported by The Tampa Tribune earlier this month and now the subject of news coverage nationwide.
The association's aggressive interpretation of Florida law has legal experts debating how much power a homeowner's association has. One Bridgewater homeowner is taking her case
Connie Hicks says she was given 24 hours to leave the Wesley Chapel home she was renting. The notice came not from the landlord but from the homeowners association.
to court this week, and the outcome could set legal precedent statewide.
The association's president, Mark Spector, and its attorney, Geraldine Holloway, didn't respond to requests for comment from the Tribune. Holloway did send a letter to Media General of Richmond, Va., which owns the Tribune and News Channel 8.
The letter said the association's "goal is to ensure that all owners in the community pay their share. It has no desire to 'dispossess owners' and utilizes the rent demand procedure when other collection efforts fail."
Court records show that so far this year, the association tried to evict tenants in six houses. The association is using a Florida law that says an association can evict a tenant if the homeowner fails to pay association fees.
Bridgewater goes through the legal process of evicting, but what happens next has some real estate attorneys and homeowners crying foul.
The association asked the judge to appoint a receiver -- an accountant who manages the property and rents it out to a new tenant. After expenses are paid, the money left over goes to the homeowners association.
"The HOA can't rent out a home it doesn't own," said south Florida attorney Jean Winters, who represents associations and homeowners alike. "And the association can't force the homeowner to rent their home. What would happen if they want to move back in?"
Hicks' case highlights how frustrating Bridgewater's legal strategy can be for tenants.
Under Florida law, if a landlord faces a lien for unpaid fees, an association can require the tenant to pay rent to the association until the lien is satisfied.
If the tenant refuses, the association can evict. But Hicks did pay, and the association asked a judge to evict her anyway.
Hicks said she received a letter from the Bridgewater association Jan. 10 directing her to pay her rent to the association. But she said she had already paid rent for the month to her landlord.
In such a case, Florida law says, the tenant must submit a receipt to the court then start paying the association.
Hicks submitted her February rent to the court, along with a receipt showing she already paid January rent to her landlord.
But the judge ruled Hicks should have deposited December and January rent with the court, too, and approved the eviction.
In addition, Hicks' landlord, Nixon Chanea, said he tried to pay the association, but Chanea said the president and attorney would not return his calls or letters asking what he owed. Chanea said he missed a yearly $225 association fee and is willing to pay what he owes, but he questions the thousands of dollars the association billed him, mostly for attorney fees and late charges.
Chanea's story is similar to Joanne McCarn's.
The lien amount on McCarn's home was $2,565. McCarn doesn't fully understand the itemized accounting the association later provided her, but it appears to include special assessments imposed broadly in Bridgewater because so many homes are in foreclosure.
Still, most of the lien appears to be fines and legal costs unique to McCarn and a $500 "rental fee."
She said she had been keeping up with her annual homeowners association dues of $225 but missed one payment when her mother died. She said she's willing to pay what she owes but thinks the association is tacking on fees just to rack up her bill.
"We did everything we thought was right to resolve this," McCarn said.
"I even went to Mr. Spector's house to try to resolve it. He threw me off his property. He threw my husband off his property."

Tennessee Football Coach Fired

 
 IN GOD WE TRUST!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Tennessee Football Coach Fired over Obama Song
He'll make more money when this song becomes a big hit than he would teaching school.Tennessee middle school assistant football coach, age 26, fired for a song he wrote and played! When you go to the link for the song, there are a couple of sites that give the news on the firing. This could be the next number one hit country song. It's the best effort yet at encapsulating the outrage at the oversteps of this government in an entertaining song. Apparently the guy was fired over the song because some parents complained. If you like it, help it go "viral" by passing it along to everyone you know.

Jane and Arlene


 
> Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. Jane pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.
>
> Arlene: What in the hell is that?
>
> Jane: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.
>
> Arlene: Where did you get it?
>
> Jane: You can get them at any drugstore.
>
> The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.
>
> The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand of condom she prefers.
>
> "Doesn't matter, Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel."
>
> The pharmacist fainted.

All the food was slow
... THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS ... 
'Someone asked the other day, 'What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?' 
'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,' 
I informed him. 


'All the food was slow.' 
'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?' 


'It was a place called 'at 
home,'' I explained. ! 
'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.' 

By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table. 


But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it : 


Some parents NEVER owned their own house, never wore Levis, never set foot on a golf course, never traveled out of the country or had a credit card. 


In their later years they had something called a revolving charge card. The card was good only at Sears Roebuck. Or maybe it was Sears &Roebuck. 
Either way, there is no Roebuck anymore. Maybe he died. 

My parents never drove me to soccer practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer. 
I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow) 


We didn't have a television in our house until I was 19. 
It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 a..m. and there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people. 

I was 21 before I tasted my first pizza, it was called 'pizza pie.' When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered itself against my chin and burned that, too. It's still the best pizza I ever had. 

I never had a telephone in my room. The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line. 


Pizzas were not delivered to our home But milk was. 


All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers-- my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week.. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which he got to keep 2 cents. He had to get up at 6AM every morning. 
On Saturday , he had to collect the 42 cents from his customers. His favorite customers were the ones who gave him 50 cents and told him to keep the change. His least favorite customers were the ones who seemed to never be home on collection day. 


Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive. 

If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren 
Just don't blame me if they bust a gut laughing. 

Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?
MEMORIES from a friend : 
My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it.. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old. 
How many do you remember? 
Head lights dimmer switches on the floor. 
Ignition switches on the dashboard. 
Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall. 
Real ice boxes. 
Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards. 
Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner. 
Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.

If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age,
If you remembered 16-25 = You' re older than dirt! 

I might be older than dirt but those memories are some of the bestparts of my life.

Don't forget to pass this along!!
Especially to all your really OLD friends....
