Actually, I really did hear a rumor just today . . . all the new houses in Fruitland Park are going to be bigger and more expensive. How this person "knows" I have no idea.

"Naked and Afraid" , Discovery Channel, filming will begin with a couple dropped off in Brownwood and have to make it to Nancy Lopez in 21 days using their survival skills where they will be rescued by golf cart at the restaurant.

Have you ever snoped yourself?

Yes. I had tried to get that off with thousands of messages to the Mikkelsons but with no success. It has been there for 12 years or more. Some stupid e-mails I sent them hoping they would help. Instead they stuck it in the idiot bin (tinfoil hat). http://msgboard.snopes.com/message/u...00576/p/2.html

The Mikkelsons are who owns Snopes.com. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snopes.com

When Gary Corsair of the Villages Daily Sun was researching doing a story on me after interviewing me, he Googled me and Snopes.com came up in all its glory. This was for the story on my attempts to get the Florida Victim Services Directory connected to the Marion, Sumter, and Lake County public libraries. It ran on Memorial Day of 2007. May 31, 2007. He called me and asked about the Snopes.com crap.

I never get warm and fuzzy when thinking of Snopes.com since then even though what is on now is different from 2007.

The Villages Daily Sun did run the article on me despite what Gary Corsair had asked about that Memorial Day weekend of 2007.

Lets just say I trust Snopes more than I trust somebody reposting their spam email warnings.

Starting in September, golf courses will open for Golf Cart racing & motorcycles. It is such a waste to only have them used by old people swinging clubs. On Fridays the (old) golfers will have the opportunity to hit the people who are fully enjoying themselves with the open land. Prizes will be given to each age group. God Bless America. Yes, it's covered as long as you only go 19.6MPH.

The Gate Cards will be replaced by windshield self stick cards - similar to the Florida Sun Pass.
