This next one is a tropical plant that Joyce has babied for a couple of yrs now and has gotten this one to bloom stage....IMAG3388.jpg ....it is a plumeria and the scent is Amazing....it is the flowers that they make leis out of in Hawaii. This is a plant that was in the grow box at the trlr, that I shared a while back. Also, got a pic of the ducks swimming hole.....IMAG3394.jpg

it is illegal in our county to NOT register any dog in your possession. They chip insert them and send you your "fee is due" again or the records will be erased more or less, and you have to start from scratch. They charge 2 premiums. The cheap one for state wide tracking, the second for national tracking.
By appointment only. During the working man's hours. So you loose a half days pay on top of writing them a check.
??? There is no national mandated dog registry, how can a county force you to do so?? I think all dogs have to be licensed here but there is no requirement to chip them. Generally if people get their animals chipped it is only because they want to be able to ID them if lost.

There is even a giant bill board a few miles from here saying.. "Register your Dog, It's the Law."
Paid for by tax payers money I'm sure.
Soon human will be chipped. I think that was a flu shot?

Well ... if it actually WORKS for the flu, it might be a good thing ;)

I expect the billboards are paid for with the dog tax. Collect dog tax so you can pay for the billboards to remind people to pay their dog tax so they can pay for billboards .....

It would be interesting to know how much they collect each year and where that money is spent. How much goes to the dog catcher and registration people and how much "leaks" into the general fund.

Florida has some pretty tough animal laws. When I lived in Pensacola I had a neighbor that had cats, probably a dozen or more and they ran loose in a subdivision. I had a pool that the cats liked to lay beside and use the vinyl liner to flex their claws. I bought a live trap and started catching cats and dropping them off at the pound. After I got the first one I went down to let him know that one of his cats might be in the pound but I wasn't sure since they weren't tagged. Pensacola has a fine for the animal running loose and for not having a tag. It's progressive and costs more each time they are dropped at the pound. I caught 8 of them before I stopped seeing them running loose. He threatened to sue me after the second one but I had a copy of the law and handed it to him just before I shut the door.

Well, I wish I had some decent news to share, but the lady that came for a visit today left out of the drive slinging gravel about 15min after she had arrived......:lol:.....I'm telling ya....she is sooo far out into "La-La Land" she can't even see the sign pointing in any direction. She is appalled that someone of my stature would ever doubt her word and ask to see an official copy of any legal papers that she has claimed to have filled out and should be filed with some Court somewhere in the country, I would think that is being prudent. Yes, of course I was called a few names....nothing that I haven't been called before.....:ep......oh, if ya could've seen her face wben I told her that I wasn't settling for anything less than the house on 6.3acres she nearly swallowed her teeth....that is when she grabbed her stuff and headed to her car.....then, she told me that I was a threat to her.....I told her it depends on wbich definition ya chose to use....:)

I can like this because you’ve said your piece. (Literally!)

Do you recall your parents ever using a particular lawyer or one that may have been a friend of the family? Wouldn’t hurt to ask if they know of any documents if that is the case...

Sorry it's all going down like this for you. I've just settled on the notion that I have no parents, and no inheritance coming. The oldest greedy bitch is going to get it all as her daughter is married to a lawyer and she's a paralegal. I disowned her as a sister 25 yrs ago. :tongue
