Well here I go to explain the era of blacks
1 my mother was born 1939 in the south her grandfather was white and her grandmother was mix with French and a lilltle bit of African origin it was very hard for my mother and her family but they were a very loving family. My aunt married a white Jew, my uncle married an Asian woman all had children. Well my father was a black man from Arkansas a very successful contractor who went to school for his profession. He had a crew of about 50 guys sometimes. I don't how he landed so many great jobs he worked his azz off 7 days a week the MLK generation so they train us how to act like a generic white person. So during my time as long as you twist your butt behind close doors and not present yourself to be a threat and listen to all those stupid racial jokes then you were ok. Well change took place white kids were bored so they wanted to know more about Soul train and I want to know about Led Zepplin the rest is history. I am from the last of baby boomers back in 70s 80s 90s white people had a chance to even things out in the educational system instead of just running away the white flight. They will run out of hills before you know it all the list and all the census bureas will not matter the problem of proverty, lack of empathy will be at your back door. I am not speaking of grants or scholarships but exposure to each other. White people fear. The unearned entitlement is going to slap you back.

What can we expect walking into a pot shop for the first time?
On May 16 the Washington State Liquor Control Board released their initial draft of rules for I-502 implementation, the framework for legalization of recreational marijuana. Much of the information is reserved for those interested in becoming part of the system – from growing to processing to retailing, but the rules also give end-users an idea of what they might see upon walking into a retail marijuana shop for the first time (which is expected to happen around the turn into 2014.)
From seed to purchase, there is a sea of regulations on record keeping, labeling, security and precise guidelines on the growth, quality testing, processing and transport of marijuana before it reaches a retail outlet. For those interested in reading about the system in depth, they are available online at https://lcb.box.com/initial-draft-rules. A good summary is also available from Seattle Times reporter Bob Young, found here.
The WSLCB is taking recommendations on the draft rules until June 10 and is expected to release finalized rules later that month.
Brian Smith with the WSLCB clarified that the rules for shops pertain to retail only operations, i.e. there is nothing in the language providing a pathway for existing medical marijuana facilities to operate as a retail outlet for the general 21-and-over public as well. Smith said the Washington Legislature will be addressing whether medical/retail outlets can coexist in one brick and mortar location, although a definitive timeline is unknown.
Signs, signs, everywhere are signs (and cameras)
Upon walking up to your first retail pot shop, you'll probably notice three things: a store sign, regulatory signs and cameras.
In the draft, retail signage is limited to a single sign of limited size (1600 square inches), cannot be "false or misleading … promote over consumption … represent the use of marijuana (as having) curative or therapeutic effects ... depict a child or under 21 person consuming …" or have any objects that might appeal to children, like toys or cartoony character.
Retail shops, along with growing and processing facilities are required to have alarm systems active on all windows and doors, and security cameras keeping an eye on all cash registers along with indoor and outdoor vantage points of all doors. Cameras need to record 24-hours a day and licensees are required to keep a record of the past 45 days.
You'll see signs stating, "Persons under twenty-one years of age not permitted on these premises" and another stating it is prohibited to open a package or marijuana or marijuana-infused product in public. While the Seattle Police Department is currently in a "just a warning" phase for those consuming marijuana in public, it's expected there will eventually be legal framework to get a misdemeanor similar to public consumption of alcohol.
Product information and warnings galore
Upon walking inside, available to you will be an array of dried, smokeable marijuana and marijuana-infused foods and liquids. At this time, the WSLCB rules will not allow store to sell marijuana concentrates, items like hash and hash oil, that pack a far more potent punch than standard "buds" (aka, the flower of a marijuana plant that people smoke).
All products need to be stored behind a counter "to ensure a customer does not have direct access …," so there won't be any direct perusing of the sativa section or "Cleanup on aisle indica" intercom chatter.
Every product needs to be packaged inside non-toxic materials that protect it from contamination, and every retail customer has the right to request the name of the accredited third party testing lab and results of their quality assurance testing for any given product..
Nothing can be labeled organic unless the Washington State Department of Agriculture deems it as such.
Smokeable marijuana will be required to have a slew of warnings attached, such as "Warning: Smoking may be hazardous to your health," "Should not be used by women that are pregnant or breastfeeding," and "For use only by adults 21 and older. Keep out of the reach of children."
Also required in the labeling is full disclosure of any pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc. used to create that particular plant you are considering for purchase.
Marijuana-infused products are required to have labeling making it abundantly clear this cookie or that brownie is not of your Betty Crocker box mix variety, including "This product is infused with marijuana or active compounds of marijuana." Any solvents or chemicals used in the creation of those products need to be listed as well, and they will have allergen information, recommended serving size, list of all ingredients beyond cannabis and a "best by" date.
On top of all that, each container or package needs to identify the grower, processer and seller, a lot number and date of harvest, net weight, and the concentration of all chemical components found in the product, from the well-known psychoactive THC to lesser known components.
Products need to have the Washington State icon (a pot leaf centered inside an outline of the state) and two final warnings: "May be habit forming" and "This product is unlawful outside of Washington State."
While I-502 allows out-of-staters over 21 to purchase marijuana, they are not legally allowed to take it home with them.
After processing all that information, it will finally be time to make your decision and purchase. While retailers are required to keep extensive records of the ebb and flow of product into and out of their shop and any transactions made, they are not required to track anything about the end-user/retail purchaser.
In a single purchase, customers can walk out with up to one ounce of useable (smokeable) marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused products (generally food) in solid form, and 72 ounces of marijuana-infused liquids.
While we don't know yet where retail shops will be allowed (WSLCB has only said they will determine the number of allowable shops per county, and a lottery will pick those lucky enough to apply for a license) in King County, but the general guidelines are they cannot be within 1000 feet (in a straight line) from an elementary or secondary school, playground, recreation center, child care center, public park, public transit center, library or any all-ages game arcade.
Recommendations on the rules can be sent to the following by June 10:

Peru's Sol Falls Most in Two Years After Growth Misses Forecast
Peru's sol slumped the most in two years after a report showed economic growth slowed in March more than analysts forecast.
The sol dropped 1 percent to 2.6290 per U.S. dollar at today's close, the weakest level on a closing basis since May 2, when it fell to a 10-month low, according to prices from Datatec. Today's decline was the steepest since June 2011.
Economic activity expanded 3 percent in March from a year earlier, the slowest pace since October 2009, the national statistics agency said today. The median forecast of 13 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for 4.5 percent growth. Manufacturing output contracted and construction and retail growth slowed, the agency reported.
"The economic data were really surprising," said Hedmond Rios, an economist at Celfin Capital in Santiago. "We should see a shift in monetary policy via a relaxing of reserve requirements."
Peru's central bank raised reserve requirements four times from January through April to curb demand for dollar loans. Policy makers have kept the target lending rate at 4.25 percent since May 2011.
The yield on the nation's benchmark 7.84 percent sol bond due in August 2020 declined three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 3.79 percent at 2:43 p.m. in Lima, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The departure of HMAS Sydney for the war on Iraq was delayed yesterday by protesters, whom Prime Minister John Howard later described as "clowns".
Police were surprised by the tactics Greenpeace employed to halt the war-bound frigate, even though they knew Greenpeace had practised the manoeuvres the day before, when it tracked HMAS Newcastle as it sailed for Perth.
The Defence Force played down the security implications of the protest, in which protesters attached themselves to the hull while another unfurled a "no-war" banner from the bow.
Defence Force Brigadier Mike Hannan said security in Sydney Harbour was the responsibility of the police and protective measures in the Persian Gulf would obviously be different.
Mr Howard said later on radio that the protesters "have absolutely no regard for the feelings of the sailors or the families.
"It's their day, it doesn't belong to anybody other than them. I hope the news outlets of Australia suitably downgrade the coverage they give to this sort of stupid behaviour."
In a swiftly executed attack, more than 20 Greenpeace boats, which had been hiding in bays, darted across the harbour and broke through a cordon of police boats.
At the same time, other Greenpeace boats dropped scuba divers in front of the Sydney and stretched a rope 400 metres to a buoy in its path, forcing it to halt for half an hour.
The guided-missile frigate had pulled away from a Sydney navy base after being farewelled by families, friends, political leaders and defence chiefs.
Police Inspector Grahame Welsh, who commanded the security operation, said the response - seven police boats and more than 20 police on the water - was the "right level of response".
Senior Constable Ian Phipps was treated in hospital for a bruised abdomen and ribs and a possible bruised spleen after he was knocked overboard when a Greenpeace boat rammed his police vessel. He fell between the rotating propellers of both boats and was saved when a police officer jumped onto the Greenpeace boat and turned off the engine.
"He's lucky to be alive," Deputy Commissioner Andrew Scipione said. "I call this a day of disgrace."
Brigadier Hannan said: "The ADF supports the right of Australians to protest - it's an important part of our democracy - but this is a dangerous thing to do and we really think we'd discourage it."
Mikey Rosato, 31, of Lismore, an ex-RAN member, was arrested after unfurling a "no war" banner as he hung from the ship's bow for nearly 30 minutes. Police and sailors were at first helpless to stop him.
Also arrested was Sarah Roberts, 25, a Greenpeace employee from Sydney, who used climbing equipment to scale the ship's stern, but was quickly brought down by police. Greens MP Ian Cohen, who paddled a surf ski, was arrested, as were two other women and five men taken from protest boats. They are expected to be charged with "wilfully preventing the free passage of a vessel".
Earlier Mr Howard said the war would not be over in days, but predicted that "really hostile" conflict would be over soon.
Mr Howard left open the option of contributing troops to a peacekeeping force in Iraq, after previously denying Australian forces would undertake such a role. He said he did not envisage a large military contribution to peacekeeping.
"We will naturally not only have a say but we'll have a role, but we have never seen part of that role being the deployment of a large number of Australian forces in some kind of peacekeeping operation," Mr Howard said.
Defence Minister Robert Hill said Australia was likely to make a "niche" contribution to rebuilding Iraq rather than a large military deployment. The Government's "current intention" was to recall its forces after Iraq's regime was deposed. It had not decided on its contribution to rebuilding, he said.
Mr Howard told the 230-strong crew of the Sydney and their families that the war was going well, "but you shouldn't assume it's going to be over in the next couple of days, nor should you assume that once it is over you won't have hold-out operations by individual groups of militia.
"There will always be the worry of suicide bombing missions on sea as well as on land.
"It is my hope that during your time, in the not-too-distant future, the really hostile part of the war to disarm Iraq will have terminated. But that does not mean there will not be very important work following the formal cessation of hostilities.
"It does not mean that the flow of humanitarian support will not need escort support, it will not mean we will be free from the possibility of attempts by dissident elements to keep the hostilities going."
Senator Hill said a force would need to remain in Iraq to ensure stability "for a significant period of time", but many countries were lining up to contribute to that force, the "Phase Four" of the operation: rebuilding.
"There are many ways that we as a country can help Iraq rebuild and provide a better future and I hope and expect that Australia will play a modest, but useful role in that regard," he said.
Mr Howard said the military advantage was now very decisively with the coalition, with "very gratifying" progress in Basra and Baghdad.
"Given the distance that's been travelled and what's been achieved, it's been (an) extraordinarily successful military operation and Australia has played a very significant role," he said.
Mr Howard said he would be going to Washington for discussions with President George Bush "in the next few weeks".

Legislative Session Opens
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On January 9, 2013 · 1 Comment · In Bente Birkeland, Capitol Coverage, Colorado, KRCC News, Legislative Session, Politics
Today's opening ceremonies of the Colorado legislature were marked by the typical pomp and circumstance as in years past. But even before it started, the 2013 session made history as one of the most diverse groups of lawmakers ever to gather under the golden dome. Bente Birkeland has more.
One Response to Legislative Session Opens
oakiidoakii says:
Republicans, within the past several years, have seemed to have a death wish. In the face of rapidly changing consensus, they have continued to place themselves on the wrong side of great historic and social movements. McNulty's decision last session to block the civil unions bill rather than face a near certain acceptance came home to roost in the November elections. It will be interesting to see if they also move toward a well-deserved Darwin Awards with negative or stalling votes on immigration and the other social issues facing this new legislature.

A second man has died in a Citrus County motorcycle crash in as many days.
Richard Thomas Emanuele, 45, of Homosassa, was traveling east on West Cardinal Street on his 2013 motorcycle at 8:50 p.m. Monday, but stopped to make a left turn onto South Gross Avenue when motorist Kelly Kristine Wallace, 31, also of Homosassa, collided with him, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Wallace was driving a 2000 Volkswagon Jetta.
Emanuele was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash remains under investigation.

I had submuscular implants in 2000 and the doctor stuffed them up. Didn't release the muscle properly and bad scar. 5 years later I got up the nerve to go under again and have them fixed. By then, all the surgeons who I went to were very reluctant to try and sort out someone else's mess.
Finally I went to an ancient doctor in Manly who not only sounded confident he could fix them, but he pretty well did it for free (claiming on medicare on my behalf so I only paid the difference). He did a fantastic job. Took implants out of submuscular, reattached muscle to bone, new implants subglandular, scar revision.
I'm actually pretty happy with them still and they are still getting better (years later) however I know they will droop at some point and also: there is a little visibility of one implant (I'm quite thin, which is why submuscular was the choice of my first surgeon). But nipple sensitivity is good, they feel good (although I can feel the implant) and they look great. Certainly look a dam sight better than the Frankenstein's bride look my first (and more expensive) surgeon left me with.1) Does subglandular placement cause more tissue thinning then other placements and is this an issue for future redos? 2) Is it possible that some women have muscles "too strong" to get a good result from submuscular? 3) Can I get a submuscular redo next, even though I'm subglandular now and was submuscular first? Or would that be more damaging to the tissue?

Exogenous melatonin, by either regulation of the sleep-wake cycle or enhancement of the physiological prerequisites for mediation (decreased body awareness (i.e. analgesia) and claimed slowed brain wave activity and heightened visualization ability) may be the mechanism behind the alleged benefits of 'amaroli'.

We Passed Lots-a-Shells at Pass-a-Grille Beach
Shell trip! Clark and I took a beach combing road trip from Sanibel Island to Pass-A-Grille over the weekend … and had blast finding lots of shells. We found all of the shells in this next photo as we walked from our hotel Inn On The Beach, down to the south tip of the island at jetty rocks to the Pass-a-Grill North Channel.
It was like an OLIVE garden just at the water's edge but we even found some of my faves…. WORMIES.
There were lots of shells to pick through on the gorgeous beach as well…
I was tickled to find a teeny tiny BROWN-BANDED WENTLETRAP hiding in the mix.
There is an island right across the channel from the jetty rocks called "Shell Island". What? Shell Island? Of course we had to explore it! There are ferries to take people over to the island but since we wanted to spend all day on the water, we rented a boat. Look at the color of the fabshellous LIGHTNING WHELKS we found. Gorgeous!
We actually had more luck on the back flats of Shell Island instead of the beach on the Gulf Of Mexico side. There were lots of those empty LIGHTNING WHELKS, oodles of double SUNRAY VENUS shells and some really funny live KINGS CROWNS scooting all along shallow waters so I did a little time lapse video of one of them to show you. Ha! Groovy KING CROWN dance moves coming up….
So in between the KINGS CROWN congo, Clark found one of the prettiest orange colored LIGHTNING WHELKS we've ever seen. It is really the color of a carrot!
Ok- I took another video too of all of those empty LIGHTNING WHELKS. I couldn't believe my eyes!
We also boated over to Egmont Key to find a beautiful sandy beach island.
We didn't find as many shells on Emont Key but we found a couple of ROSEATE SPOONBILL FEATHERS. Ohhhhh such treat to find these pink feathers!
At the end of the day, we sat our on our lovely porch to admire all of the beautiful colors and patterns of so many different shells we ended up finding.
We had a lovely time shelling and then relaxing in our beautiful room at Inn On The Beach.
Not a bad way to celebrate our 19 year wedding anniversary, huh?

Whimsical World Of Worm Shells
WORM SHELLS don't follow any rules of symmetry or structure as they twist and stretch in all kinds of crazy ways doin' their own thang- that's why I love them so much. No two are alike!
That's also why I love to use them in art projects like the large shell mirror in the top photo and for mermaid locks of hair.
And for smaller frames…
In Southwest Florida, we have a few different kinds of WORM SHELLS that wash up on our beaches although I never really think about their differences… Im just always thrilled to find any WORM SHELL but I think it's time I show you the differences.
Here are the 3 varieties of WORM SHELLS we have in our area. In the next photo from left to right… VARIABLE WORM SHELL, FARGO WORM SHELL, FLORIDA WORM SHELL
You've seen me post WORM SHELLS a million times but I don't think I ever even say "FARGO WORM SHELL". I always think "WORMIE!" so who cares what kind- haha. So yes, this is the FARGO WORM SNAIL – Vermicularia fargoi – which comes in many various color forms.
These little cutie shellooties are the FLORIDA WORM SHELL – Vermicularia knorrii – (or KNORR'S WORM SNAIL). Look at those sweet little white tips!
Just so you can see the differences in size of the FARGOs and FLORIDAs…
WORM SHELLS are even fun when they are broken too. Sanibel local sheller Cherry uses them to make wooden plaques with her granddaughters' names on them… Ella and Grace.
These are THE cutest!!!
There's another type of WORM SHELL… the VARIABLE WORM SHELL- Petaloconchus varians. This is the one I call WORM ROCK because it really doesn't look like a snail shell but instead it looks like a big ol' hunk of rock or dark CORAL. Theses snails can grow into large colonies which look similar to CORAL REEF structures.
The wonderful, whimsical world of WORM SHELLS. Be still my heart.
PS- To see all of the different places that we've found WORM SHELLS and more photos of them, CLICK HERE and scroll down through all of the pages of posts.
Come with me on a Shelling Adventure and maybe we will find some together.

Finding Seashells on Clearwater Beach
Wow… WORM SHELLS, WHELKS and even a WENTLETRAP! Our weekend away was wonderful collecting CLAMS, CONCHS and CORAL on the coast of Clearwater Beach.
I'm still giddy with all these shells.
Lots of these shells were found on our boating day with Captain Paul Hajash I told you about on my last post "i Love Shelling- Clearwater Beach" but we also found lots of shells on the beach in front of our hotel – Hilton Clearwater Beach. Right beside the hotel is Pier 60 which seems to collect little pockets of shells … and you know we love our mini shells… oh yaya baby… lots minis!
Omigosh… a WENTLETRAP!
We weren't even in full shelling gear… we were just walking the beach back from the festivities at Pier 60 (ooooh- and ice cream) and started seeing so many sweet shells. These were only a few treasures Clark found in just a few minutes… another BABYS EAR, more SHIVA SHELLS and another LONG SPINED STAR SHELL. Yes!
Wouldn't you love to see what that shell line looked like with all these mini shells? Aha! I thought that would be the case so I snapped a photo of this little area of lots of broken bits of shells… but there are some goodies in there too. Actually, there are oodles of goodies. I didn't even see the SHIVA SHELL when I took the photo, but now looking back at it… theres one in this CYBER SHELLING next photo. Can you find it? It doesn't have the swirly side showing but if you look back at my last post and look at my hand full of them, you will see what the other side looks like and you'll be able to spot this one. Click on the next image to enlarge it for some fun CYBERSHELLING… and then I'll show you a monster of a shell just a few feet away from this.
After we picked up a few more minis, we saw Dave and Susie from Michigan holding this huuuuge live LIGHTNING WHELK. Shellzam! Such a gorgeous creature. Their son Jason found it right in front of the hotel but as Dave and Susie were returning this live animal back to the water, Jason ran up to the room. I missed Jason but Im thrilled I got to see his amazing MOLLUSK before it went back to the sea… to hopefully breed more beautiful LIGHTNING WHELKS.
We met Jett and his mom Ashley (Indiana) coming off the beach with a bucket of shells too. Jett's favorite was a perfect FIGHTING CONCH.
We spent one full day just being beach bums and met so many folks who had no idea there were beautiful shells only steps away from them. (Their loss and our gain? hahaha)
We also did a little exploring of the other things Clearwater Beach has to offer… like seeing Winter the Dolphin. She's the DOLPHIN who lost her tail then was rescued and rehabilitated at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. It's an amazing true story of Winter and a prosthetic tail that was made for her so she could survive. She then went on to star in movies about her life Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2. Clark and I learned about Winter after watching the first movie so it was so much fun to be able to see her in person. Here she is with her BFF, Hope, as we watched them from the underwater viewing window.
We felt like little kids when we got to hold Winter's prosthetic tail and sleeve. We love that Clearwater Marine Aquarium isn't actually an "aquarium" though… it's really a rehabilitation center. They don't have dolphin shows or any other animal shows- its more of an educational center for the public with their mission being Rescue, Rehab and Release. The 3 Rs. Of course Winter can't be released back into the wild but most animals they rescue are only there until they are ready to go back to living in their natural habitat. Its an awesome place.
We missed the evening festivities at the beginning of our trip because we were completely worn out from shelling all day, but we finally made it back to Pier 60 for the sunset party. With live music serenading the sun setting over the gulf- its so fun and colorful.
A fabulous way to end a beautiful weekend.
As promised, here are a few tips about how to get to Caladesi and a few other things about shelling Clearwater Beach that were asked from my last post…
Years ago, Caladesi Island State Park (pronounced Cal-a-dee-see) and Clearwater Beach were separated by a channel of water so they were 2 different islands but that channel has been filled in by winds and currents over the years filling the channel with sand so now they are one island. Meaning… We could have walked 3 miles on the beach to the north tip of Caladesi from our hotel on Clearwater Beach…. and yes, we could have done that But we would have had to walk BACK the 3 miles …. carrying a boat load of shells. Also, we could have driven to Honeymoon Island north of Clearwater Beach to catch the 20 minute ferry to the marina on Caladesi and walk to the beach and shell that area. Either of those options are do-able but we chose to hire a boat captain so that we could quickly get to the areas we wanted to shell… the north tip and the sand flats. We only had a short time to shell so we wanted to see the area for ourselves and be able to tell Captain Hajash to keep going or stop at a flat if we saw anything. It was perfect!
If you go, here are the highlights of our awesome trip:

i Love Shelling – Clearwater Beach
We are addicted to shelling… So we love to explore different shelling areas of Florida. We found a great new (to us) shelling hole… Clearwater Beach!
Weehoo- Road Trip! We drove 2 1/2 hours north of Sanibel to spend our Thanksgiving right smack on the beach at the Clearwater Beach Hilton having our dinner there with round one Turkey and fixins and seconds of beach bling and bivalves (shrimp, scallops and oysters- heehee).
We hired shelling/fishing guide Captain Paul Hajash of Reel Florida Adventures Fishing Charters. Okay, honestly, it wasn't easy to find a shelling guide as I googled and called MANY charters but everybody thought I was crazy that I wanted to "hire a boat to find shells". hahaha I finally talked to Capt. Paul Hajash (pronounce "Hash") who is mainly a fishing guide but he completely understood what Clark and I wanted to do since his wife is a sheller and we could walk from our hotel to the dock. Aha.. Perfect! His only concern was it was gonna be cold… 44 degrees on the water. Ouch. The winds were pounding from the NW for 3 or 4 days and we shellers know that NW winds and cold weather bring in shells. The winds were calming down and the tide was low…. So heck yaya we still want to go!
After layering up in warm clothes for this unseasonably cold weather, Captain Paul took us to some beautiful sand flats on the way to Caladesi State Park and as soon as I got out…. WORM SHELLS! And FIGHTING CONCHS, CORAL, SUNRAY VENUS and oodles of TURBAN SHELLS.
a BABY'S EAR…
I was in shell heaven as I found LONG SPINED STAR SHELLS and hundreds of SHIVA SHELLS. I don't find these CHESTNUT TURBAN OPERCULUMS very often so I was over the moon shell (heehee- I'm still pretty giddy!).
While I was in my own little glorshellous shell world, Clark came back from his ShellAdventure on the flats…
Shellzam! Holy Cowrie, that's the biggest WORM SHELL I've ever seen! Not to mention 2 fabshellous ALPHABET CONES, a big LIGHTNING WHELK, and a KINGS CROWN (with incredible spines).
That's why we call him Super Sheller Clark! (I couldn't help but steal that WHELK for a picture) :)
We only had time to make sure there were no critters in any of our shells, so we still need to rinse and clean them up to really show you the variety of amazing treasures we found… but here's a sneak preview of what I'll show you on my next post.
After a day of spectacsheller shelling and fantastic food, we were too stinkin cold and tired to be outside to watch sunset… but low and behold, the view from our room couldn't have been a better ending to an amazing day.
PS- I will give you more info about our trip, show more shelling on other beaches of Clearwater Beach and details on all the shells on my next post… so stay tuned! Feeling thankful…Read More
Maiden Voyage Sight Sea-R Shelling Cruise Was Incredishell
Our first iLoveShelling Sight Sea-R Cruise was even better than I could ever even imagined! This brand new Sight Sea-R boat proved to be the absolutely perfect shelling excursion with plenty of room to take our 48 amazing shellers to this new shelling destination only accessible by boat… Big Hickory Island.
Not only is the island filled with our favorite treasures (shells, of course)….
We kicked this shelling adventure off with lots of other goodies too. Giveaways! Clark and I brought a big bucket of Sanibel Six shells so everybody could pick out a lucky shell to get things started. Then we treated everybody to iLoveShelling waterproof Seashell Identification guides, bumper stickers and had raffle prizes for hats and tee shirts. So. Much. Fun.
Our biggest surprise was from Mary and Jana of Sealife By Congress– my fave jewelry store. You won't believe it, they gave every single person on this cruise a sterling silver sealife charm. Seriously. They came on the boat with large baskets filled with beautiful pieces of jewelry and let us all pick our gift of hand made sterling silver dolphin, starfish, sand dollars, scallops and yes… even junonia charms. So sweet!
Texas cutie cousins Pat, Pam, Kay, Peggy, Debby and Linda were thrilled to all receive such a gracious gift of jewelry. Thank you Sealife By Congress!
Let me tell you… this boat turned into a parrrr-taayyy!
So to top it off, on the boat ride to the island we spotted lots of different wildlife. There were dozens of species of birds but we were most excited about seeing many ROSEATE SPOONBILLS…
We also saw a rare sighting of a SEA TURTLE popping out of the water and we also witnessed countless pods of BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN.
This was already so much fun and we hadn't even starting shelling yet. But I was soooo ready… especially since I saw Holly had made a special shell bucket for herself with "My Shell Holl" on it- heehee. She also made one for her husband Ted that said "Collect-Ted Shells" and she made one for me with "My Pamtastic Shells". OMG So stinkin cute.
We were all ready to hit the beach to find shells. And we did! Sandy from Fort Myers Beach's newspaper The Island Sand Paper found some awesome shells to make her smile. Go back and take a look at the second photo from the top, those are her shells- See? Awesome.
We couldn't believe how many WORM SHELLS we all found…
And lots of SHARK'S EYES…
During the boat ride back, I asked how many people found CONE shells (and not ones they picked from the "lucky bucket") and 19 shellers raised their hands. Wow!
I'm always so happy to meet families that shell together. Christine, Anthony, Paula, Bryce and Dominic (from VT and MA) were such a pleasure to talk to.
I asked Bryce what his favorite thing about the cruise was and he reminded me that together we saved a SEA HARE that got washed up on the beach. We put the SEA HARE back in the water and after a minute, he revived and swam away- that was his favorite moment. I asked Anthony what his favorites were and he immediately showed me his ROSE PETAL TELLINS (with 2 COCQUINAS as well).
Brooke and Josh from Georgia had favorites too… SAND DOLLARS.
Clark and I loved hearing Keri (also from the Sand Paper) tell about shelling bringing back so many memories of her childhood while shelling with her grandmother. I think that's why we love it so much… we explore the beach like we are kids again and remember those days.
Thank you Captain Phil and Meg for such a great adventure!
I still can't believe how exciting every moment was with perfect weather seeing DOLPHINS, ROSEATE SPOONBILLS, OSPREY, PELICANS, a SEA TURLE, lots of seashells and the best group of people Clark and I could wish for.
To make a fairy tale ending, on our way back to the dock we watched the sun set over the Sanibel Lighthouse…
It was a very special day to remember. Oh but wait… I still have more photos and I have just a few more things I want to share with you about this day on my next post. The surprises continue!
Thank you Sight Sea-R Cruises!
You can catch a cruise too. Hop on a regularly scheduled shelling cruise on the Sight Sea-R to Big Hickory every Wednesday at 10am, Call 239-765-7272 or go to the website at http://www.sightseaflorida.com. You won't be disappointed.

Boring Turret Not So Boring
Who wants to do some CYBERSHELLING??!! I've got it for you! There are days on Sanibel, Captiva and Fort Myers Beach when there are so many great shells washing up to your toes on the beach you feel like you hit the lottery. And there are other days when you just might have to look in the unlikely shell lines high up on the beach to find your hidden treasures. This, my friends, is why I fell in love with shelling….being surprised at finding a beautiful seashell gift of the sea that everybody else passed right on by without a glance. Click on this next photo for some CYBERSHELLING of your own. See if you can find my newest treasure… a BORING TURRET (Turritella acropora)!
Did you find it? Ha! Of course you did because you are on to me now, aren't you. I put it right in the middle of the photograph- LOL. I found 2 BORING TURRITS in the same area I found my CROSS-HATCHED LUCINES on the new beach/sand bar Blind Pass Captiva.
It looks very similar to the AUGERS…
Gail Carr (from my last post) found 3 of them!
Susan H showed me a beautiful specimen of a BORING TURRITELLA when she was here in December.
Also back in December, brother and sister Greg and Debbie were finding all sorts of great shells…
But with all the hoopla about folks finding CABRITS MUREXES, JUNONIAS and LIONS PAWS, I never got to show you Debbie's precious find. The one I liked the most was Debbie's BORING TURRET.
There are many shells from Southwest Florida that may look similar to the BORING TURRET so I'd like to show you a side by side comparison so you will be able to distinguish your shells too. Now you can see how different they are! From left to right- BORING TURRET, AUGER, CERITH and WORM SHELL.
Can you guess which other shell in this group is in the same family TURRITELLIDAE as the "BORING" one? The WORM SHELL!Read More

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
'Mimi's Tree House' as the grandchildren call it, has been totally updated. It has a bedroom with a queen size bed. The second bedroom has 1 queen and 1 full bed. It is ready for your children. We have a booster seat for dinner time and a baby gate. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to cook for your family. Big cooking pots for your shrimp boil, electric skillet for your crab cakes, toaster, coffee maker etc... We have a fabulous porch that begs you to sit on the swing and look at the golf course and ocean view. There are several pools and 8 lighted tennis courts. There is an onsite Pro shop and tennis lessons are available.
My husband and i have been married for 36 years and have 2 children and 2 perfect grand babies so far! We have grown up in Nashville and now live on a farm in Franklin,Tn.
Leigh Ann purchased this condo in 2012
My mom and dad owned this condo for 10 years and we took all of our family vacations here. We have so many great memories of sitting on the porch with our Mimi talking for hours and playing on the beach. When my mom passed away, my dad wanted to sell it . I couldn't bear to let it go, since it was my moms favorite place in the world.We love 'Mimi's Tree House'. She taught us that being together as a family and making great memories is a life long gift.
Our favorite place is on the porch swing. Whether we were watching the sun come up or go down, it is always a beautiful place to be. We love to look out at the ocean and know if it will be a good day to body surf!
We enjoyed this condo and it was a great fit for our family of 5. Our children, being teens and a preteen, were happy to have a room and bath to themselves and plenty of bed space. The condo is spacious and so homey with beach décor as well. The condo and property are clean and very well maintained. Having 2 bathrooms and the washer and dryer just downstairs was such a plus when returning from the beach. Their storage closet provided beach chairs, boogey boards and toys for the beach. What a nice bonus. The kitchen was so well stocked and even had all the spices you would need for cooking.
We chose to drive to the private beach parking area, a short distance from the condo, which put us just on the other side of the road from the beach entrance. This rental affords you access to a beach entrance through the Whale's Tail Restaurant with bathrooms for use and showers to rinse off the sand when you leave. We had lunch 2 days at this restaurant. It was great to just walk up to eat and then return to the beach. We recommend the burgers, crab cake sandwich, fish tacos and popcorn shrimp. All were good!
Leigh Ann was so great to work with and so accommodating with our last minute plans. There are lots of years of memories at this condo for her family and friends and we made some great ones too. We hope to return to this condo when our travels take us to Florida again.
we loved this condo! beautiful view, great location.
we are a family of five, with three teenagers and there was plenty of room.
we will definitely book this unit again!
My husband, five year old daughter and I stayed for a week in May. My sister joined us for a few days too. We had a great time. Destin is a pretty busy place but this condo was super peaceful. The beach access is a peice of cake, as are the pools. We golfed twice. Very good service there. We went to a couple of restaurants recommended by the owner. Bud and Alley's was a nice spot for lunch. Old Bay Steamer was awesome! Leigh Ann was very easy to work with. Comfortable, clean, relaxing stay. We hope to return. :)
We spent the month of February in this unit. We were so pleased with how well it was supplied with so many condiments and spices. There were lots of cooking utensils. It was definitely better equipped than any other unit that we have ever rented. All of the cleaning supplies were there.
We enjoyed the view from the deck and sat on the balcony in the sun on the warm mornings.
It was very clean. Leigh Ann was pleasant to deal with and although we had no issues, she checked in from time to time to see if we had any questions.
We look forward to coming back for three months next winter.
When planning our trip to Destin, we were concerned as we would not be staying the usual 7 days that rentals require. I sent 3 inquiries out and was very happy to hear back from the one owner/rental I thought was perfect for our family. The owner answered back with a concern about the stairs to the 2nd level as my mom is elderly and we let her know it would be okay. Bingo, we booked the rental!
Everything in the information (VRBO) was accurate and when we walked in we immediately felt "at home". If there was ever a slight concern, I was able to email the owner and get a quick response. What a plus, something you don't get in big hotels.
I must say there is nothing like a home cooked meal after a busy day - no waiting in line at a restaurant, etc. We had an extra car and had no problem getting an additional parking pass. My husband enjoyed the golf course twice during our short stay. Being able to sit on the patio in a swing...priceless. My daughters enjoyed reading outside and we found ourselves out on the patio often sometimes only to enjoy the incredible view of the golf course and the beach and to watch the birds. Being an avid photograher, I was very excited at the array of birds present and went out with my camera daily. I even captured a shot of a blue heron catching a grass snake.
It was a short week and the rental was perfect in every way possible! I would gladly recommend this rental to friends and consider renting the same rental again if our travels take us back to Destin.
This was our first experience to "spring break" at the beach in a rental condo in Destin and didn't know what to expect. We were so pleasantly surprised by the relaxed atmosphere in the condo and on the property, with friendly neighbors, plus convenience to everything we wanted to do. Although it was raining the first day after we arrived, just hanging out at the comfortable condo was dreamy. Later in the week while my husband and one son were golfing on property, my other son and I were able to walk to the beach. There are also a couple great restaurants within walking distance, too. The outlet malls unfortunately made us wish we had brought larger suit cases for all our shopping finds. We drove over to Pensacola one morning to watch the Blue Angels practice and visit the FREE flight museum. This is a MUST DO on the bucket list for all ages. You won't go wrong in this family-friendly, comfortable, "feel at home" condo.
Seascape is less than a mile from Silver sands outlet mall. It is a short drive from Sandestin's Bay towne Wharf. This has 42 unique bay shops & restaurants and ropes courses for the children. The Big Kahuna water park is a short drive away. The Track and Big Kahuna amusement park are always a must for the kids big and small! There are many great restaurants close by also. Seaside is a short drive away and always a fun day of shopping and exploring.

The Caparison Custom Line is a special line produced from the highest grade and rare materials, in striking finishes and in strictly limited quantities.
We gave the Custom Line Angelus some slightly unusual specifications which differ from other Angelus models by including a Maple fingerboard and a single/humbucker pickup configuration.
The Custom Line Angelus is available in two new colours, "Trans. Sky Blue" and "Trans. Blood Red", which together with the Maple fingerboard give it a very striking visual impact. The Custom Line Angelus also features a thick, high grade Flame Maple top with matching headstock finished in the body colour with a printed "Custom Line" logo.
We didn't follow the structure of the Angelus-M3B body in consideration of the Maple fingerboard; instead we opted for a Mahogany body and Mahogany neck, which adds depth to the sound. The Custom Line Angelus is fitted with EMG pickups for a heavy sound.

Four Children Murdered in Spring Were NOT The Children of the Suspect
Deputies in Harris County now say the four children who were shot and killed in a home in the Houston suburb of Spring were not the gunman's children, but that he was 'related by marriage' to the victims, Newsradio 1200 WOAI reports.
Officials also tell 1200 WOAI that the suspect, Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, was on his way to kill additional members of the family when authorities caught up with him and arrested him following a standoff.
"We believe that the couple that resided at this residence the kids belong to them. They were not kids of the suspect," Constable Ron Hickman told 1200 WOAI news.
Hickman says the crime was clearly planned out.
"Suspect Ron Haskell, who was taken into custody last night, from what we can hear, came to this location yesterday afternoon late and came in the guise of a FedEx driver wearing a FedEx shirt," Hickman said.
"He came to this residence, gathered up the children that were here, and awaited the arrival of the parents. Sometime later the victims were shot at this residence. We have learned that Mr. Haskell was married to a relative of the residents of this home."
Court documents obtained by Newsradio 1200 WOAI reveal that the adults who were shot and killed were Katie and Stephen Stay. Four children, ranging in age from four to 14, were also murdered execution style, while a fifth child, a 15 year old girl, played dead and was later able to identify Haskell as the gunman.
"As he was leaving this location we were contacted by one of the victims, notifying us of a location she believed she may go from there. Our officers arrived at that location before the suspect ," Hickman said.
Haskell was arrested following a lengthy standoff.
Officials say his estranged wife, who was not in the home at the time, is related to the family that was murdered. It's unclear whether Haskell planned to kill her as well.
Haskell is held without bond on a charge of capital murder.

My son Matthew has dyslexia and it was Linda Giordano from "RITES" that changed not just his world around but our world as a family. With her patience and compassion and knowledge, she taught Matthew how to over come his disability but also alleviated our stress as a family, because we knew he was being tutored by some of the best experts in Rhode Island. Matthew went on to succeed in a challenging private high school and then on to college. I will always be grateful for the help we received from RITES. --Cristina Berard

" Brand: Rampant Rabbit "
Please note before feasting your eyes on this review that although I am not going to try to be overly rude this is a review on a little naughty sexual aid I own and so you should be over 18 years old to read this and not of a nervous disposition or easily offended and if you are I have written plenty of other reviews on baked beans and cat food that I don't think are at all offensive so leave now please lol. Are you gone? Phew....lol
Although I am a sexually active almost 38 year old and certainly not a prude you won't see me writing about my sex life on line...usually. I'm breaking the rule about that because this is the most fabulous bit of kit I have ever bought and used and I feel the need to bring it to all your womens attention out there. In fact I firmly believe this toy should be given out free on the nhs to any woman complaining of sexual problems and not being able to feel satisfied and certainly by relate to save relationships!
The Packaging:
This comes in a very sophisticated looking black and white box and on the front of it there is a picture shown of the 'Ears' and we are clearly told on the front of it that it it Rampant Rabbit 'Just The Ears' and that of course it is an Ann Summers product, on the side of the box we are told that is has 3 speeds and 4 pulses, is waterproof (that makes me laugh out loud like a schoolgirl lol) and that it is quality assured then on the back of the box we are told a bit about the ears, that it takes 2 x AAA batteries and contact details for Ann Summers are given. Inside the box the ears come laying in a black plastic tray securely, covered up by some material and inside you get a matching to the box appearance wise leaflet that tells you more about the product and instructions on how it all works. Lovely, great quality packaging from Ann Summers with this one and highly informative too!
The Ears:
This first off looks a nice inoffensive product and I think it is a good product for women to try before going for the large vibrators and other things like that if they are unsure of buying these types of products and feel in any way uncomfortable or intimidated by the look of some of the other toys on offer. I wish I had found this one years ago to be honest and not bought so much stuff over the years from Ann Summers now!
Mine is white and its made of silicone though you can also get these in bright pink and black colours too. All are on sale from Ann Summers and Annsummers.com at £24.00 each though usually they are on sale for £30.00 each so now is a good time to buy one if your interested. I got hold of mine much cheaper that this though to be honest from a mate who used to be a rep for Ann Summers!
So its about 5 inches long, wider to the bottom that than the top section is which has flexible one inch (ish) slightly flexible ears. It has a small lump where you can imagine the nose to be on a rabbits face too. There is also a little control panel which is simple to use which is integrated into the where you hold and the top button is simply the on/off switch which glows bright red when in use then under that you have the all important speeds and settings. This is so easy to use you simply turn it on, pop the ears over the clitoris and the first three settings are just a vibrate, the first being a slow one to the third option being very fast indeed, then you get 4 other variations of pulse as well a couple of those which make the ears bounce for extra stimulation.
This is soft and wipe clean with no sharp bits to it at all and what I like about this particular product is that to get clitoral stimulation from the ears, before with the vibrator that had ears from Ann Summers I felt I had to really push the vibrator up to get the position right with the ears (sorry about being graphic there but I don't know how else to explain it!), with this there is only the ears to get into the right position and its light and I can move it as well and when in use its still easy for me to change the settings without thinking too much and putting myself off the task in hand and another benefit is this is not noisy....great for someone like me who has a flat and paper thin walls!
I read somewhere once it takes the average woman about 7 1/2 minutes to achieve an orgasm...I guess I'm the average woman then....well I was! I'm not now as this is a power rocket that works fast and never answers me back. We don't row, we're the best of mates. Even the batteries which incidentally slot in the back of it are easy to pop in and out and last ages as well.
All I can say about this is that at £24.00 this is simply a fantastic buy for us ladies. Use it alone, spice up your sex life...whatever but for any woman who wants a sure thing this has to be the ultimate buy and I can't speak highly enough about it!
Now as a warning by now you'll have seen what this review is about and if you are of a bit of a sensitive person to anything a bit rude, or a bit sexy then avert your gaze now - as this is a lovely review of a sex toy that is currently in my collection of anything weird and wonderful from Ann Summers - which most people have heard of, if you haven't then it's one of those companies that sells underwear, all the way up to some very kinky and bizarre looking sex toys. However it isn't just sleaze anymore there are worse sites out there than Ann Summers now a days - I'll tell you that much for free!
~*~ What are 'The Ears?' ~*~
Well they say every woman should own a rabbit, and the thing that distinguishes rabbits from the rest of the vibrators out there is the ears that go with it - and without those, well it's just a vibrator and not a lot more than that. So Ann Summers have basically decided to bring out a vibrator that is purely just the ears off the rabbits - for the ladies out there that look at the full vibrators and think wow that's not for me - which looking at the new Rampant Rabbit it's not hard to understand!
~*~ My experience ~*~
Well I've had one of the rampant rabbit vibrators in the past and I preferred it to another I've owned in the past minus a set of ears attached to them. However when I was at an Ann Summers party these were passed around to try and I grabbed them to see what they were like and to be honest I was quite impressed since they were detached from a normal vibrator - they are a different type to the ones on my old vibrator; and they are now made from a nice soft silicone material - which makes them really nice and soft on delicate areas. The only issue is the fact that they are made from silicone - because if you get a tiny bit of fluff or material any were near it, once it's out of the box it will stick to it like you wouldn't believe so make sure you've got some of the wipes to clean it before and after use. Most importantly to me, is the colour! I looked at this and couldn't believe how pink it is, it is genuinely neon pink, and until you get one in your hand you'll not realise quite how pink it is!
The ears on this vibrator are designed to stimulate the clitoris, as they do on the rabbits, but this one just gives you a bit more control than having it attached to a rabbit. (I have been known to using it on my other half - so yes it works on men too if you find the right place!) The vibrator is very ergonomically designed so it's so easy to hold in your hand and move it around into the right place, which works for you - it's easy to get carried away with. It's not a vibrator that you have to work hard, to get any pleasure out of. Which does take the fun away from it a little bit - unless it's in the hands of a teasing husband or boyfriend; because they seem to be able to make it so much worse than it needs to feel! The ears if you look at them when they are on one of the seven vibration settings, there are a few which enable you to actually see the ears moving they are quite strong. For this reason I was surprised a month down the line my 3AAA batteries are still going strong!
There are seven varying intensities three that are steady vibrations from mild to really strong - just dependent upon how sensitive you are as to which one will do the most for you. The other four variations are pulsating ones, that are also of varying intensities but they are the kind of thing that will keep you going for a bit longer essentially. Personally any of the settings in combination with each other, or just the plain vibrations produce something quite good to be honest, (without making people cringe) I've spoken to others with the same item and the consensus is it's a good vibrator for when you're alone, which as a plus is also waterproof so if you can only get alone time in the bathroom then you're all set with this little rabbit. It is also quite quiet compared to vibrators of old, no one in my house has noticed it being used - so that's embarrassment avoided!
~*~ Price and Availability ~*~
Available through an Ann Summers Rep, the Ann Summers stores or online from their online store; I bought mine through my Rep actually at 10% off because it was one she was showing off but all cleaned up I got it for £27 it's normally £30 but at the moment online they are 20% off so for £24 you can get your hands on one of these - in white or neon pink - my vote goes for the neon pink!
Remember to get AAA batteries for it though it won't work without 3!

I just received an anonymous star from someone else who misses their kitty too. I wish I could say thank you....so I will just say thank you now. You are beautiful!
I was just sitting here thinking about Stickers and what a kind gentle creature he was. He was really a little angel in the disguise of a darling little speechless kitty. Oh, there are just those certain creatures that God gives you for a little while to love....that you wll love forever. Stickers was one of those.
He was so kind. Sweet. Silly. Fun and funny! He was playful and sometimes not too bright, but, one cat I will always have in my heart....forever.
Thank you, kind person for sending a star so I could come to Stickers page an ponder the good days when Stickers was in my home, as well as my heart.
He made my home a happier place, warmer and better, with lots of smiles.
and love.
Commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance
by Red Skelton
I - - Me; an individual; a committee of one.
Pledge - - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.
Allegiance - - My love and my devotion.
To the Flag - - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.
United - - That means that we have all come together.
States - - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.
And to the Republic - - Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands
One Nation - - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.
Indivisible - - Incapable of being divided.
With Liberty - - Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.
And Justice - - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.
For All - - For All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.
And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God.
Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

A cat dies and goes to Heaven. God meets him at the gate and says, "You've been a good cat all of these years. Anything you desire is yours, all you have to do is ask."
The cats says, "Well, I lived all my life with a poor family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors." God says, "Say no more." And instantly, a fluffy pillow appears.
A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a tragic accident and they go to Heaven. God meets them at the gate with the same offer that He made the cat.
The mice said, "All our lives we've had to run. We've been chased by cats, dogs and even women with brooms. If we could only have a pair of roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore." God says, "Say no more." And instantly, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny roller skates.
About a week later, God decides to check and see how the cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow. God gently wakes him and asks, "How are you doing? Are you happy here?"
The cat yawns and stretches and says, "Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending over are the best!"
