Comments (4)I love the bird sanctuary, too. The time we visited it was getting toward evening and the roseated spoonbills were all nesting in a tree. The tree looked like it had huge pink flowers all over it. Just beautiful! I agree, they'll love it. The St. Pete Times had an article today about getting off the beaten (concrete) path and one of the places mentioned was the Ocala National Forest trails. Geez, I haven't even been there yet!!...See MoreTeacher gives student lapdance in classroom!
Comments (16)alice, many private sector employers do background checks for new hires. Are they 100% effective? No, of course not, but they serve as a deterrent. Not more than 6 months ago, there was a teacher (I think in SoCal) arrested for having inappropriate contact with a student. The criminal check unearthed two prior convictions for the same thing in other states. Duh! Do you think that district or others have changed hiring practices since this incident occurred? I'll bet not. Colleen, I don't believe human behavior has changed much over the years. People like to point to external factors for blame rather than put responsibility where it belongs. The peers my kids knew who made poor choices, often had inappropriate behavior and got into trouble often had parents of the same description. It was the example they had to follow. People do what people do. Societal mores change and what's acceptable conduct changes too, not always for the better. Reality is something to deal with, not to deny, ignore or bemoan....See MoreAtala butterflies, once thought extinct in FL, winging back
Comments (16)I'm sorry, I don't know why I linked the coffee article. But yes, spraying mealy bugs with the coffee tea will kill them on contact. Same thing with aphids, spider mites, and thrips. I'm growing hot peppers and aphids can be a problem. It works well. The softer the plant, the better putting used coffee grounds on the soil will kill aphids, etc. systemically. It lasts about 4-5 months. Same thing for hibiscus and other soft plants. I know it's the same article, but this is what I meant to link: http://cycadjungle.mysite.com/cycadjungle/The%20Coontie%20of%20Florida.html There are other helpful cycad cultivation articles for anyone interested in the cycad part of this subject. The back button should go there. The Never Throw Away a Cycad article shows how you can micro propagate a coontie if anyone dares. The fertilizer article shows how you can get them to flush more often....See MoreGerman shepherd sells $31 million mansion in FL
