"A Florida woman is accused of skinny-dipping in a stranger’s pool and refused multiple requests to leave, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.
Heather A. Kennedy, 42, is facing charges of trespass in structure or conveyance and resisting an officer without violence.
The homeowner told deputies he returned home and noticed a naked stranger in his pool after spotting clothing scattered across the lanai...." Enough with the Florida Man stories. I had to throw in a Florida Woman story for a change. I mean, who just picks a random house, gets nekkid and goes for a swim? Only in the FLA. Summary of the movie The Swimmer with Burt Lancaster: Good flick.

A Florida woman is suing Velveeta for $5 million, claiming that her instant macaroni didn't cook fast enough
A Florida woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz's cheesy instant macaroni product Velveeta, arguing that her macaroni and cheese took too much time and too many steps to prepare. According to the court documents, Amanda Ramirez mounted a class action lawsuit against Velveeta's parent company Kraft Heinz Foods Company, asking for up to $5 million. Central to Ramirez's claims in the lawsuit is that Velveeta did not actually take 3-and-a-half minutes to prepare – and that only the microwaving step took that long. "The statement of 'ready in 31⁄2 minutes' is false and misleading because the Product takes longer than 3-and-a-half minutes to prepare for consumption," Ramirez said in the suit. "To provide consumers with a Product that is actually 'ready in 3 1⁄2 minutes,' the Product would need to be cooked in the microwave for less than 3-and-a-half minutes, so that all the preparation steps could be completed in the 3-and-a-half minutes timeframe."

A normal person wouldn't sue for $5 million dollars. A normal person might request their money back for their for their instant macaroni purchase.

Some lawyer must think there is a pay day there. I hope there is not.

Some lawyer must think there is a pay day there. I hope there is not. When I was in my employer's ground operations division, two of my co-workers were terminated for refusing to take a drug test. They hired an attorney and were suing the company for $50 million. Their attorney did not charge them and agreed to a cut of the settlement money. Once the facts were known, the attorney started charging them. My employer considered the lawsuit a nuisance lawsuit and offered them $10 thousand to go away. The two ex-employees accepted the money and their lawyer took it all away as his fee for services. One of the two employees eventually went to prison for some other unrelated crime.

I'm surprised there is no recent news in the Flor-i-duh thread, because there is ALWAYS something worthy of reporting. I had a really good laugh this morning. The community I used to live in is having a well-known food festival this weekend, and they put the porta potties RIGHT NEXT to the food tents. I can't even... (Gross! Can you even imagine the smell after this weekend?)

Can you even imagine the smell after this weekend?) I've seen some crazy Flori-duh stories, but I couldn't find the thread. Haha Was there a limited property space, where the porta potties could be put? I'd hate to be the person cooking, or serving food next them. My ex-soninlaw owned a porta potty business. I never asked about any stories. I didn't want to know.

Exactly. I know it must have been overwhelming, but why not many garbage bags full of it? It was dried pasta, he could have just put so many bags out each week.
About a month ago, since I wasn't sleeping I realized most of my rice and pasta were really old and tossed a bunch in the garbage, Nowhere near what he had, but more than 5 pkgs each.

Nude woman jumps into Biscayne Bay with baby — then fights with cops who haul them onto boat
A naked woman who jumped into Biscayne Bay with her 3-year-old nephew Thursday morning, causing a commotion that attracted horrified onlookers and law enforcement, is now in much hotter water. Police say the possibly dangerous dip into the bay was the woman’s escape attempt from a nearby pursing officer. The crime? Destroying park lights.
OK, fine. You destroy park property and try to kill a kid after that? How unhinged are you, exactly?

Must be a full moon every night in Florida.
