Florida or....North Carolina?!

The picture above makes me think of something.....oh yeah STD's!

Which leads us to today's posting.....

Health workers in North Carolina have found that people are willing to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases in exchange for Wal-Mart gift cards.

These are tough times indeed. Scratchy, itchy, burny times.

People infected with syphilis in Forsyth County, NC has more than tripled from those infected just last year.

Experts say that the rise in STD's is in correlation with the bad economy.

So what's Paris' excuse then??

Florida or....North Dakota?!

This story comes out of Bismark, North Dakota but it has Florida written all over it.

When police arrived at a home for a domestic disturbance call, they found a woman breastfeeding her baby. And she was drunk.

The cops arrested the woman and now she faces up to five years in prison for child neglect.

She wasn't neglecting the baby though--she still fed him right?!

Guess this arrest has sparked a debate online about breast feeding mom's who drink.

Florida or....Ohio?!

I'm so sad this didn't happen in Florida--but at least it did happen in the Florida of the North: Ohio.

You will often find that ridiculous stories you hear on the news often come from Florida...and when they don't, they come from Ohio.

An example, you ask?
The lady who killed her baby in the oven, well that happened in Florida.
The lady who killer her baby in the microwave--that's all Ohio!

So police were questioning a woman regarding a murder case, when a baby squirrel popped out of the woman's cleavage!

No news if the squirrel is her pet.

Definitely not my personal pick for "animal I would keep in my cleavage"....rabies much?!

You've got to watch the hilarious clip below:

Florida or....Oregon?!

Occasionally I will hear a story and be VERY surprised when I hear it didn't happen in Florida.
I'll make sure to post these stories as I hear them too and then you will wonder, "Seriously? This didn't happen in Florida?"

A perfect example of this comes from Oregon.

A woman in Portland was arrested this week for violating a court order banning her from owning bunnies.
An employee working at the hotel where the bunny freak was staying reported finding rabbits in the hotel room.

This bunny-lover was arrested back in 2006 when police found 250 (!) rabbits in her house, including 100 dead and frozen ones. Yum!

Then in 2007 she was arrested again for stealing back about 150 of her 250 rabbits (hippity hop, hippity hop)

I guess if this had happened in Florida, it would have involved amphibians of some sort.
