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.

Story of the Day



I can technically call this blog entry "Story of the Day" since it's already Monday where? Florida!

Scientists at the University of Florida are doing research on whether or not there is a connection between drinking caffeinated beverages and reversing Alzheimer's.

The research suggests that drinking caffeine may hamper the production of protein plaques, which lead to the horrible disease.

Let's hope this research is true.

I hope I don't forget to get my cup of java tomorrow morning....I don't want to start writing my version of "The Notebook" already.

"IT WAS US!"

I swear just THINKING of that movie brings tears to my eyes!

Story of the Day



Really sad news to report from the happiest place on Earth.

A monorail driver at Epcot Center was killed when the monorail he was conducting slammed in the back of a stationary monorail.

Luckily the passengers on the monorail were safe.

The accident occurred at around 2:00 am EST.

So sad! I hope the passengers will still visit the Magic Kingdom in the future, because incidents like this one are incredibly rare.

Story of the Day



Apologies of the above photo is in bad taste with the story below--I wanted to balance the sadness with something silly.

Earlier this week, an albino Burmese python strangled and killed a two year old girl in a small town 50 miles from Orlando.

The python belonged to the boyfriend of the little girl's mother. It had broken free from it's holding tank in the night and found it's way into the little girl's bedroom. Tragic.

This is why people should not have wild animals as pets!

According to the article, there are as many as 150,000 Burmese pythons living in the Florida Everglades.
Keep in mind that these snakes are native to Southeast Asia.

This means that people who buy these snakes realize that they can't handle taking care of them, and then they release them into the wild.

STOP BUYING SNAKES PEOPLE.
